Patent GB-187102260-A (GB)
IPC: C11B3/06
Filed: 1871-08-28
Granted: 1871-11-21
Abstract: 2260. La Peyrouse, L. L. A. E. P. de. Aug. 28. Disclaimer. Food preparations; soups &c. preserving food.- Beef, mutton, pork, and other fats, animal or vege- table liquid or solid fatty matters, oxidized greases, butters, or oils, bones, &c. are melted and purified in vats. Beef fat is treated in wooden vats. When treating mutton or similar fats, the vats may be lined inside with tin sheet, or are made of tinned copper. Distilled water is added, and is heated by steam circulating through coils in the vats, or by means of jackets or outside circulation. The copper vats may be heated by a furnace. Solutions of sodium, potassium, ammonium, aluminium, &c. sesqui- or bi-carbonate and sodium, potassium, magnesium, aluminium, &c. chloride are added to the distilled water and fats, and the whole is boiled. The coagulated albumen which rises to the surface is carefully skimmed off. Distilled water is added two or three times during the operation, and the melted fat, after resting two or three hours, is passed into the refrigerators, and thence poured into casks or packages. Fresh meat or other animal or vegetable substance, from which the air and water have been sufficiently expelled by partial cooking, are coated with these fats while in a warm and liquid state. The meat &c. to be preserved is placed in a receptacle, and the fat poured over it. The fat may be mixed by kneading with pea, bean, lentil, or other flour, fecula, or farinaceous substance, the necessary spices, salt, and seasoning being added. The whole is pressed into a vessel &c., and forms a food suitable for armies, navies, and colleges. A soup may be prepared in a concrete and dry state by mixing the fats with dry powdered meat or fresh vegetables reduced to a pulp, from which the water has been extracted by pressure or evaporation. Flour or fecula of peas, beans, lentils, or other farinaceous substance, and spices and seasoning may be added.

Title: The Manufacture and Production of Carbonic Ethers, of Quinine and other Cinchona Alkaloids.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1898-07-29
Granted: 1899-06-10
Abstract: 16,564. Johnson, G. W., [Vereingte Chininfabriken Zimmer & Co., Gesellschaft mit beschrõnkter Haftung]. July 29. Medicinal preparations. - Diquinine carbonic ether, C 0 (C20H23N2O2)2, and the corresponding carbonic ethers of other cinchona alkaloids, such as cinchonidine, are produced by allowing one molecular proportion of phosgene, as a gas or in solution in a suitable solvent, such as chloroform, to act upon four molecular proportions of the anhydrous alkaloid. The alkaloid hydrochloride which is produced in the reaction is removed by washing the chloroform mixture with water containing a little acetic acid, and then the carbonic ether is washed out by means of water containing a little sulphuric acid. The sulphate of the carbonic ether thus obtained is decomposed by an alkali, and the free carbonic ether is extracted by means of ether. Diquinine carbonic ether melts at 186‹ À5. It is insoluble in water, and is tasteless. It forms acid and neutral crystalline salts, with acids, for example with sulphuric, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, and salicylic acids. These salts are stable when dry, but decompose in solution, yielding quinine salts. The carbonic ethers and their salts are suitable for use in medicine.

Granted: 1899-11-04
Abstract: 24,264. Hirst, H. Nov. 17. Switches for incandescent lamps having a filament and a heating- appliance. Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement and connections, H representing the heater. Two contact-bars B, B<1> are loosely mounted on a spindle A, and are connected by a spring S. F is a contact common to both, and D and E are connected to the circuits as shown. On turning the bar B<1> by a suitable handle, the contact-bar B first connects up the lighting-circuit at D, resting against a stop g. Further movement of the bar B' puts tension on the spring S, and closes the heating-circuit by making contact at E. On releasing the handle, the bar B' is pulled off the contact E, so breaking the heating-circuit but leaving the lighting-circuit closed. Instead of having rotary contacts, sliding bars or other suitable arrangements may be employed.
