Title: Thiophosphoric acid esters and a process for their production
IPC: C07F9/165
Filed: 1957-12-17
Abstract: The invention comprises thiophosphoric acid esters of the formula <FORM:0822477/IV (a)/1> in which R is an alkyl radical, especially a C1-C4 alkyl radical, R1 is an aliphatic or aromatic radical and X is oxygen or sulphur, at least one X being sulphur.  They may be obtained by reacting a 3-aliphatic (or aromatic)-mercapto - 1 - cyano - isopropyl alcohol with a halide of an O,O-dialkyl thiophosphoric acid or by reacting a 3-aliphatic (or aromatic) mercapto-1-cyano isopropyl halide with a salt (e.g. an alkali metal or ammonium salt) of an O,O-dialkyl thiol (or thionothiol-) phosphoric acid or with the free acid in the presence of an acid-binding agent.  The first-mentioned reaction yields compounds in which one X is oxygen and is preferably carried out in an inert organic solvent and in the presence of an acid binding agent, especially a tertiary amine such as pyridine.  The second type of reaction is also advantageously carried out in the presence of an inert organic solvent.  Specified reaction temperatures in each case are between 0 DEG  and 150 DEG  C. Examples are given for the production of compounds in which each R is C2H5, each X is sulphur and R1 is C2H5, and CH (CH3)2 respectively and the compounds <FORM:0822477/IV (a)/2> and <FORM:0822477/IV (a)/3> The products are stated to be effective as insecticides (see Group VI).  The compound C2H5SCH2CH(OH)(CH2CN) used as a starting material is obtained by adding g -chloro-b -hydroxy butyronitrile to a solution of potassium hydroxide and ethyl mercaptan in methanol and removing the precipitated potassium chloride.  The compounds p-CH3.C6H4.SCH2CH(OH)(CH2CN) and (CH3)2CH.SCH2CH(OH)CH2CN are obtained similarly using p-thiocresol and isopropyl mercaptan respectively instead of ethyl mercaptan.  Also the chlorides corresponding to each of these mercapto alcohols are obtained by reacting the latter with thionyl chloride in the presence of chloroform.ALSO:An insecticidal composition comprises a solid or liquid carrier and one or more thiophosphoric acid esters of the formula <FORM:0822477/VI/1> in which R is an alkyl radical, especially a C1-C4 alkyl radical, R1 is an aliphatic or aromatic radical, and X is oxygen or sulphur, at least one X being sulphur (see Group IV (b)).  A specified composition comprises an aqueous solution comprising the compound <FORM:0822477/VI/2> acetone and benzyl hydroxy diphenyl polyglycol ether as emulsifier.  Other liquid diluents specified are methanol, ethanol, methyl ethyl ketone and liquid hydrocarbons.  Known insecticides and/or fertilizers may also be present.

Title: Improvements in or relating to force-operated electric switches
IPC: H01H1/14
Filed: 1961-11-08
Abstract: 1,010,594. Fluid actuation of switches; thermal switches; electromagnetic switches. W. HALZER. Nov. 8, 1961 [Nov. 8, 1960; Aug. 2, 1961], No. 40092/61. Heading H2B. Three contacts disposed at the apices of a triangle on a rockable switch plate are closed seriatim as the switch operating force increases and open as such force decreases, corresponding stationary contacts acting as counterbearings to the contacts on the switch plate when the plate is urged towards them against a resilient biasing force. The conducting switch plate has three arms 11, 12, 13, and a central bearing point 21 at which the operating force acts against a spring (not shown), normally urging the plate against bearings such as 9 provided by yokes 39, 40, 41. Each arm, such as arm 12, has a contact 15 opposite a stationary contact 19, and a compression spring 7 of different strength from the springs of the other arms such that, with increasing operating pressure, the contacts 15, 19 close seriatim. Magnets on the yokes 39, 40, 41 may provide for snap-action operation of the contacts (Fig. 9, not shown). The initial separation of the contacts is adjustable by a screw 57 and the pressure of the spring 7 is adjustable. In an alternative embodiment, the bearing point 21 is placed off-centre, the three springs for the arms 11, 12, 13 have equal strengths, and the contacts close seriatim by virtue of the different distances of each contact from the bearing point 21 (Figs. 10, 11, not shown), thereby providing displacement-dependent operation of the contacts, as opposed to ever-increasing operating pressure causing operation seriatim. The switch plate is securable in bayonet fashion in its bearings (Figs. 6, 7, not shown), and is guided by a metal spider member for rectilinear movement relative to the base 20. The switch is operated by fluid pressure acting on a diaphragm, by a bi-metallic strip or electromagnetically.
