IPC: C07C17/08
Filed: 1913-09-18
Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 21,134. Johnson, G. W., [Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron]. Sept. 18. Acetylene-hydrohalide addition products are obtained by the combination of acetylene with hydrohalides in the presence of mercury salts; the mercury salt may be in solid or liquid form, or dissolved or suspended in an appropriate medium, such as water, acetic acid, acetone, methylethylketone, &c. The reaction is effected at a suitable temperature and at ordinary or increased pressure; excess of either of the gases may be used. When solid mercury compounds are employed, the mixed gases may be led over the catalyst; when the mercury compounds are employed dissolved or suspended in liquids, the two gases may be introduced into the catalytic liquid at two different points, so that the gases are not directly in contact. According to examples: mixtures of vinyl bromide and ethylidene bromide are obtained by passing acetylene and hydrobromic acid gas over coke impregnated with mercuric bromide; vinyl chloride is obtained by passing acetylene through aqueous hydrochloric acid containing mercuric chloride. The Provisional Specification refers also to the use in the process of catalysts in general, for example metals, acid or basic oxides, or salts.

Crushed zinc ore, previously roasted if necessary, is introduced into a filter press and leached with a solution of sulphurous acid as afterwards described. Any coarse product resulting from previous screening is leached in ordinary leaching tanks. The leaching solution of dilute sulphurous acid is obtained from the gases evolved in roasting the zinc ores or from other sources, and contains zinc sulphate but is fairly free from sulphite. This solution may be made in a tower B receiving gases from a reverberatory furnace A and circuit liquor from a tank B<2>. The acid liquor is collected in a tank C. The coarse material is leached in a leaching tank D<1>, and the partly leached material may be transferred to another tank and further leached. The fine material is leached in a filter press E, and when partly leached may be pulped with more ore and again treated. The first runnings in both cases are mainly a strong solution of zinc sulphate and are led to a tank L. Next comes a neutral sulphite liquor, and finally an acid sulphite liquor which are led to tanks K, J respectively. These sulphite liquors are oxidized in tanks M, N, each connected with a centrifugal pump which draws solution from the bottom and discharges it, together with atmospheric or compressed air into the top. Part of the oxidized liquor is returned to the tank B<2> for further treatment with sulphurous acid, its bulk being made up with washings, and part is drawn off, treated with zinc dust or iron if necessary to precipitate copper, and evaporated in a furnace H to obtain first zinc sulphate then anhydrous zinc sulphate and finally zinc oxide. When zinc dust is used for precipitating the copper, the treatment may be effected in an apparatus O having a centrifugal pump as above described in connexion with the oxidizing-tanks, but not supplied with air.

Button-attaching machines; stopping-gear, non-automatic; thrcad-cutters and thread-end holders. - Comprises improvements on the thread-cutting and thread-end holding-mechanism for button-attaching machines described in Specification 17,998/03. The cutting and endholding blades 38, 37, Fig. 7, are mounted in a block 44 and reciprocated in a slot in the presser-foot part 32. They co-operate with the edges 34<1>, 32' to effect the cutting and holding, and the upper side of the hook of the blade 37 may be roughened to increase the grip on the thread. The block 44 is connected by a link 47 with a three-armed lever 49 pivoted to the frame at 54. One arm has a roll engaging a track in the control cam 17, and the arm 51 has a roll 52 adapted to be engaged by the lever 63 by which the presser-foot is raised on the stop-motion coming into action. The arrangement is such that the cam-track operates the lever 49 to cause the blades 37, 38 to embrace the thread lightly at the end of the stitching - operation, and the stop - motion, acting through the lever 63, completes the stroke of the blades. The lever 63 pivoted at 61 is connected at 65 with a lever 66 operated by the stop-motion, and engages at the other end a lug 25 carried by the presser-bar. The spring - pressed stopping - plunger 75, which engages the cam 7 on the main shaft 4 to stop it in predetermined position, is mounted in a frame 76 pivoted at 77 and adapted to be rocked to one side against a spring 80 by an arm 81, which is actuated, to start the machine, lay a treadle-rod 82. The stopping - device is kept out of action by a lever 85 pivoted at 86, connected with the arm 81 at 83, and engaging an edge cam 89 on the controlling- cam 17. The cam 89 is gapped at 89<1> to release the device and stop the machine. The presser is lifted on the stop - plunger moving up into the notch in the cam 7, by the engagement of a spring-pressed pin in the boss 69 of the lever 66 with a specially shaped collar 74 on the plunger.
