Title: Manufacture of derivatives of ªÐ-toluenesulphonamide
IPC: C07C311/45
Filed: 1944-11-21
Abstract: p-Toluenesulphonamides of the general formula:  <FORM:0586896/IV/1> in which R represents H, alkyl, aryl or aralkyl groups, are produced (1) by reduction of a p - cyanobenzenesulphonacylamide, e.g., in methyl or ethyl alcohol by hydrogenation with palladized charcoal under neutral conditions or in the presence of a little acid, or (2) by partial hydrolysis of an w-acylamino-p-toluenesulphoacylamide followed by separation of the resulting mono-acyl derivatives by fractional precipitation by means of an acid.  In examples: (1) p-cyanobenzenesulphonacetamide obtained from diazotized p-aminobenzenesulphonacetamide, is reduced to w-amino-p-toluenesulphonacetamide; (2) p-cyanobenzenesulphonamide is acetylated and reduced to w-amino-p-toluenesulphonacetamide; (3) p-cyanobenzenesulphonbenzamide is reduced to w-amino-p-toluenesulphonbenazmide; (4) w-acetamido-p-toluenesulphonbenzamide is partially hydrolysed and w-amino-p-toluenesulphonbenzamide separated by the addition of acetic acid.  p - Cyanobenzenesulphonacylamides are obtained by reaction of p-cyanobenzenesulphonamide with an acylating agent, e.g. benzoyl chloride, or by diazotization of the p-amino-benzenesulphonacylamide and replacement of the diazo group by the nitrile group.  Diacylated w - amino - p - toluenesulphonamides are obtained by the action of excess of the acylating agent on w-amino-p-toluenesulphonamide or w-acylamino-p-toluene sulphonamide, or by the action of an acylamide on w-acylamino-p-toluene sulphonyl chloride.

Title: Improvements in and relating to coin-freed apparatus for playing a game of football
IPC: G07F17/38
Filed: 1922-08-26
Abstract: 207,270. Smith, G. Aug. 26, 1922. Table games. - A coin-freed apparatus for playing a game of football adapted to be operated by two players on the insertion of two coins, one of which is returned when a goal is scored, comprises a playing surface a, Fig. 4, having depressions b at the bottom of which are disposed model figures 1, 2, 3, &c. representing opposing teams. Two of the figures are goalkeepers and are mounted on carriages f slidable on bars g in front of goals d. Each figure has a pivoted kicking leg o operable from the front of the apparatus by four finger-levers carried by four horizontal shafts p, q . . which are connected through other shafts, bell-crank levers and links to the pivoted legs o. The carriages f with the goalkeepers are connected to the two end shafts p, . . . When a goal is scored the ball h, according to which side wins, rolls down inclined shoots 103, 104 having openings 113 through which it passes, when two more coins are inserted, to be raised by rollers 114 carried by a lever 118 through pivoted flaps 128 on to the field a. The ball is returned to the same side of the field as the goal through which it last passed. The lever 118 is normally held raised by a catch 122 engaging an arms 122* so that depending arms 121 block the openings 113. The catch is freed bv the insertion of the second coin to allow the lever 118 to drop to position to receive the ball. The lever is actuated by an arm 126 on the shaft q. The ball as it is being raised engages one of two curved fingers on a spring-controlled shaft 130 to withdraw an arm 129 carried by this shaft out of the path of the lever 118 and allow the catch 122 to engage the arm 122*. If the ball has not rolled through an opening 113 the lever 118 cannot be raised fully and can be returned to receive the ball. The first coin inserted in a slot 125 drops down a shoot 111 and sets a switch 135 to divert the second coin to a branch shoot 136 through which it drops and tilts a lever 137 connected by links 138, 139 to a shaft 123 carrying the catch 122. The shaft is thereby rotated to release the catch. The first coin after setting the switch drops on to two rods 109 passing into the shoot 111, each rod being connected by a link 107 to a shaft 106 having a weighted arm 108 and a flap 105 extending into the inclined ball shoot 103 or 104. When the ball rolls down either shoot it tilts the corresponding flap 105 and withdraws one rod 109 to allow the coin to be returned to the winning player. A rod 140 carried by an arm 32 on the shaft q enters the shoot 111 to close the coin slit while the lever 118 is being actuated.

Title: A magnetically-operated dispensing device
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1966-05-26
Abstract: 1,143,135. Weighing apparatus. C.E. VALENTE. May 26, 1966 [June 24, 1965], No.23503/66. Heading G1W. An automatic feed weigher for weighing out particulate material (e.g. coffee) comprises a pivoted beam which supports a counterweight 6 and which is acted upon by a magnetic field in such a way that when a predetermined weight of material has been fed to the beam the beam pivots against the action of the magnetic field and causes a photoelectric cell to be activated so as to cut-off further feed of material to the beam and to energize a solenoid 20 which assists the pivotal movement of the beam. As shown, the beam which is provided with a scoop 17 at one end and the counterweight 6 at the other is provided with a steel strip 8 adjacent an adjustable magnet 9 and is located below a motor driven grinder unit 2 which is operatively connected to the photo-electric cell (12) Fig.2 (not shown), the beam also supporting an iron rod 16 to cooperate with the solenoid 20. With the scoop empty and the beam in its rest position (i.e. untilted) a switch 15 is actuated either manually or by coin operation so as to start the grinder unit 2 which grinds material and directs the ground material to the scoop 17. When a predetermined load of material is on the scoop 17 the beam tilts against the action of the magnetic field produced by the magnet 9 and the simultaneous activation of the photo-electric cell (12) by movement of the counterweight out of a light beam between a light source 11 and the cell causes the grinder unit to stop and through a time lag relay the solenoid 20 to be energized. The iron rod 16 is consequentially attracted to the solenoid 20, the beam accelerates its tilting movement until it makes impact with a stop 18 and the material is tilted from the scoop 17 to a funnel 19. The relay then de-energizes the solenoid so that the beam tilts back under the action of the counterweight 6 to its initial rest position ready to receive further successive batches from the grinder unit 2.

Title: Device for signalling the attainment of a predetermined level of material in a receptacle
IPC: G01F23/22
Filed: 1962-06-19
Abstract: 1,006,364. Detecting material level in bins. BLACK PRODUCTS CO. June 19, 1962 [June 19, 1961], No. 23572/62. Heading BBS. [Also in Division G1] To give a signal when liquid or granular material in a bin, tank or like receptacle reaches a predetermined level, an arm 22 is driven in a rotary path but restrained from rotation about its own longitudinal axis, the signal being given when the arm is stopped by contacting the material. The arm rotates about a spherical bearing 23, the driven end being constrained to a circular path by being loosely fitted in an aperture 41 in an eccentric lug 30 which rotates about drive shaft 15. A flexible sleeve 26 surrounding the end of the arm within the receptacle both prevents rotation of the arm about its own axis and also protects the bearing from contamination. The drive motor 14 is counterbalanced by a weight 19 and drives the lug 30 through a friction clutch 31. When the motion of end 28 of arm 22 is resisted, the motor body will start to rotate about its shaft 15. Such rotation is limited by a stop 46 and when this is hit the clutch 31 slips. In this position of the motor body the signal switch (not shown) is operated. A spring urges the motor body away from stop 46 so that as soon as the end 28 of the arm is freed, the motor body returns to its original position abutting a second stop 45, Fig. 2 (not shown) in which the signal switch opens and the drive is again taken up. The counterweighting of the motor and also, at 43, of the arm allows the apparatus to be used in any orientation, even with the shaft 15 vertical. The switch may also be used to control the loading of the receptacle, e.g. in a system such as the bag-filling machine described in Specification 918,104.

Title: A process of preparing products of improved utility from crude olefine polysulphide plastics
IPC: C08L81/00
Filed: 1936-09-30
Abstract: Products are prepared from crude olefine polysulphide plastics by treating the plastic with one or more of the following solvents, carbon bisulphide, aniline, benzene, toluene, chlorinated diphenyl, chlorinated naphthalene, chloroform, or ethylene dichloride, separating the solution from the undissolved fraction, and evaporating the solvent from the dissolved fraction. The soluble fraction is flexible, plastic and practically odourless, whilst the insoluble fraction, when obtained from a crude plastic prepared by the reaction of a polysulphide upon an olefine halogen additive compound or upon an aldehyde, is relatively hard and horny but, when obtained from a crude plastic prepared by bubbling an olefine gas through a bath of molten sulphur, is a viscous mass.  Both fractions are soluble in sulphur and may be modified by vulcanization or by treatment with phosphorus pentasulphide; alternatively, the initial crude plastic may be modified by vulcanization or treatment with phosphorus pentasulphide before treating with the solvent.  The soluble fraction may be plasticized and used as a lacquer, a paint or, when mixed with a filler such as sawdust, as a moulding composition; in solution, it may be employed for coating or impregnating purposes.  In an example, an olefine polysulphide plastic obtained by bubbling butylene through a bath of molten sulphur is extracted with carbon bisulphide at room temperature.

Abstract: 945,167. Power hammers. BECHE & GROHS G.m.b.H. July 8, 1960, No. 23921/60. Heading B3H. In a hammer driven by a pressure medium, e.g. compressed air or steam, admitted to and exhausted from the tup cylinder b through separate inlet and exhaust valves actuated independently of the tup movement, by rotatably adjustable cams on a cam-shaft rotated at constant speed, the cylinder chamber 1 beneath the tup piston a is connected to the pressure supply line by a reducing valve c and to additional closed chambers III and IV. The valve C is adjusted so that the pressure beneath the tup is just sufficient to hold it in its upper position as shown. The tup is driven downwards by pressure medium admitted to the chamber II through the inlet valve, the pressure medium in chambers I, III and IV being compressed and serving to return the tup when the outlet valve is opened. The upward movement of the tup may be regulated by connecting chamber I to chambers III and IV through a non-return valve and a by-pass line with a throttling device, the former permitting unrestricted flow from I to III and IV and the latter controlling the return flow rate. The chambers III and IV are in the hammer columns.
