Patent GB-190906992-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Halogenated Indigo Colouring Matters and of Intermediate Products.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: C09B7/02
Filed: 1909-03-23
Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 6992. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. March 23. Halogenindigo dyes ; halogenindoxyls and their carboxylic acids and esters.-Halogenated indoxyl carboxylic acid esters are obtained by treating a di- or poly-balogenated phenylglycine-2-carboxylic acid ester with a condensing-agent which splits off alcohol, for instance, sodium, sodium alcoholate, or sodium amide ; the neutral or acid esters may be employed in the process. Saponification of the products so obtained yields, in the absence of oxidizing-agents, halogenated indoxyl carboxylic acids or halogenated indoxyls, while in the presence of oxidizing-agents, the corresponding halogenated indigos are formed ; the oxidation may take place simultaneously with, or after the saponification. According to examples:-The dimethyl ester of 4:6-dichlorphenylglycine-2-carboxylic acid is converted into the methyl ester of 5:7-dichlorindoxyl carboxylic acid, which gives 5 : 7 : 5<1> : 7<1>- tetrachlorindigo ; the dimethyl ester of 4-brom-6- chlorphenylglycine-2-carboxylic acid is converted into the methyl ester of 5-brom-7-chlorindoxyl carboxylic acid, which gives 5 :5<1>-dibrom-7 :7<1>-dichlorindigo ; the methyl ester of 4 : 5-dichlorindoxyl carboxylic acid is converted into 4 :5 :4<1>:5<1>-tetracblorindigo. 5:5<1>:6 :6<1>-Tetrachlorindigo and 4 : 4<1>-dichlor-5 : 5<1>-dibromindigo are also specified. 4-Brom-6-chlorphenylglycine-2-carboxylic acid dimethyl ester is obtained by esterifying the acid produced by treating phenylglycine-2-carboxylic acid first with bromine and then with chlorine.

Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 9381. Haddan, H. J., [Meramec Portland Cement and Material Co.]. April 20. Cements, Portland, treating after manufacture.-Portland cement is rendered waterproof by the addition in a dry plate of small quantities of substances which, on the addition of' water, produce a colloidal precipitate adapted to permeate the mass. The substances which produce the colloidal precipitate are preferably aluminium or ferrous sulphate, and calcium hydroxide. A filler, such as clay, or a mineral silicate, such as talc or soapstone, together with small quantities of a salt of a fatty acid, may also be added. In an example, to 39 parts by weight of cement, is added 1 part of a mixture consisting of 14 parts of aluminium sulphate, 5 parts of calcium hydroxide, 11 parts of dry clay, and 2 parts of zinc stearate. The composition tends to retard the initial set of the cement.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Railway Couplings.
Inventor: LANZDORF ADOLF
IPC: B61G1/08
Filed: 1910-12-29
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 30,212. Lanzdorf, A. Dec. 29, 1909, [Convention date]. Couplings, operating from engine; couplings, automatic.-The last vehicle of a train can be uncoupled from the locomotive by means of pneumatic pressure or vacuum. The train-pipe is made up of sections o on each vehicle. When the vehicles are brought together in coupling, the tapered pipe-end g on one vehicle enters the casing A on the other and moves overlapping spring-pressed plates a radially outwards. One of these plates is connected to a slide b, which normally closes the end of the train-pipe, and, as the plate is pressed outwards by the entering end g of another section, the slide is opened, and at the same time a passage between the train-pipe and the uncoupling-cylinder f is closed by a valve d. There is thus free communication through the train-pipe between the locomotive and the last vehicle of the train, and all the uncoupling cylinders except the last one are shut off from the train-pipe, so that, when the driver admits pressure or vacuum to the trainpipe, the piston t on the last vehicle is moved to uncouple it. As the uncoupled vehicle leaves the train, air enters or leaves the train-pipe through grooves n in the pipe end g before the slide b has closed, to prevent an unintentional uncoupling of the next vehicle on the train. The coupling, Fig. 4<a>, comprises a hook y' and eye h<1> on one vehicle, and a double hook y and eye k on the other. The hook and eye on each vehicle are connected by a link w so that they move together; thus, in coupling, as the link k rides up over the hook y', the hook y is raised to engage the eye k<1>. When the piston t is moved for uncoupling, it acts upon a bell-crank lever h<2> and raises the eye k and hook y. The coupling may be a duplicate one, as shown in Fig. 4, the connexions being such that, as the eye k and hook y are rocked upwards in coupling, the hook y' and eye k' are rocked dowmvards. The eye k is locked in the hook y<1> of the opposite vehicle by a projection s. In uncoupling, one arm of a fork, formed on or connected to the piston-rod, engages the bellcrank lever h<2> to uncouple the hooks and eyes as described above, and the other arm of the fork engages the bell-crank lever h<1>, whereby a lever p is rocked, and a piece r lifted to raise the locking-projection s out of the hook.
