Abstract: 27,113. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Dec. 4. Anthraquinonethioxanthones obtained by condensing o-halogenanthraquinone carboxylic acids with anthraquinone mercaptans and dehydrating the products, are nitrated and then reduced, giving vat dyes; other vat dyes are obtained by acidylizing the amino products. According to examples, the thioxanthone obtained from 2-chloranthraquinone-3-carboxylic acid and anthraquinone-a-mercaptan is nitrated in sulphuric acid solution with four to six molecular parts of nitric acid, and the products are reduced with sodium sulphide; reddish-brown vat dyes are thus obtained; the benzoyl and acetyl derivatives of these products dye orange shades. The thioxanthones obtained from 1- halogenanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid can also be used in the process.

Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 8663. Greene, A. E. April 12. Drawings to Specification. Balls, shaping and surfacing.-A method or process for producing a true spherical surface upon balls by means of a rotating grinding or polishing member consists in imparting a conical rotation to the object under treatment by moving a slected axis thereof conicallv about a main axis, the apex of the conical movement lying at the centre of the spherical object, and the angle between the said axes being continuously changed as the selected axis moves about the main axis. After treatment of one part of its surface by an abrader, the object is rotated in its holder by rolling it over a friction surface while the grip of the holding-device is relaxed, whereby a fresh portion of its surface is brought into position for treatment by a second abrader. The grip of the holding- device is then restored, and the combined rotary and oscillatory motion of the object is restored and continued. Apparatus with electromagnetic chucks, similar to that described in Specification 8662/12, is described for carrying out the process. It is stated that vacuum chucks may also be used. Specification 8664/12 is also referred to.

Abstract: 11,679. H³fner, O. May 16. Gas analysis. - The sample of gas in the measuring-vessel d is measured with more accuracy and at atmospheric pressure'if a tube e is arranged to connect the measuring-vessel at the zero mark with the siphon f that actuates the liquid piston. The sample of gas is drawn in through the seal h on the fall of the liquid piston; and on the stopping of the siphon, the liquid which has collected in an enlargement w on the liquid supply tube a flows into the apparatus, the liquid rising to a level a short distance below the zero mark. On further rise of the liquid, the tube e is sealed, and afterwards gas is forced into the absorption vessel m, unabsorbed gas entering the recording-bell u. The decrease in pressure in the vessel d due to the fall of the piston, causes the sealing-liquid in the limbs t, p to fall, opening the connexion r and allowing the gas in the bell u to escape,

Abstract: 3483. Baines, E. A., and Smith, J. H. Feb. 11. Warp machines.-Relates to the use of webholding slides 12 carrying latch guard pins 22, and to the use of separate warp beams 41 for each group of thread guides 23, there being one thread-guide to each needle. Latch needles 4 are mounted fixedly in a vertically-movable cylinder 1, and threads 40 are applied to the needles by the compound movements of the guides 23, groups of which are attached to bellcranks 24, 26. The swinging movement from front to back is derived from a grooved ring 27 mounted on vertically-movable rods 28. The levers 24 are suspended from a ring 29, which is racked round to give the traversing movement from needle to needle by means of a lever 32 of which one end is geared to a toothed sector 31 while the other end is forked to embrace an edge-cam 35 moved on step by step by ratchet mechanism. The threads 40 pass from the beams 41 under an adjustable roller 43 and over rollers 42, 44. The draw-off mechanism may be mounted on a fixed plate 30 as shown, or may be mounted on the ring 29 in cases where the ring 29 is required to be traversed continually in one direction. The slides 12 are mounted in radial tricks, and their forked ends 16 embrace a vertically movable operating- ring 17.

Title: Telephone Exchange Systems.
Inventor: CORWIN ELMER REED
IPC: H04M3/523
Filed: 1913-04-15
Granted: 1914-04-15
Abstract: 8831. Corwin, E. R. April 15. Semi-automatic exchange systems.-A calling subscriber is temporarily connected by an automatic switch to the speaking-set of an idle operator, who controls a second automatic switch to effect an independent connexion between the calling line and an idle cord-circuit, the first connexion being then released. In the arrangement illustrated, the switches 21, 55 are individual to the line of the subscriber 120. When the subscriber lifts down his receiver the circuit of a stepping-magnet 30 is closed through the interrupter 34, the line-wires, and a linerelay 40, and the wipers 22 ... 26 are advanced until they reach the terminals of an idle operator. A circuit for a relay 37 is then closed through a back contact of the operator's busy relay 43, the operator's busy switch 45 (which can be opened at will to make her inaccessible), the third wiper 24, and a contact 41, which is closed by a notched disk whenever the wipers 22 &c. are positioned on a set of terminals. The relay 37 locks itself up, opencircuits the magnet 30 so as to bring the wipers 22 &c. to rest on the selected terminals, and connects the line-wires through the wipers 22, 23 to the operator's speaking - set 13, the busy relay 43 being energized in a branch of this circuit to make the selected operator inaccessible to other calls. The operator, having enquired the wanted number, inserts the plug 7 of a disengaged cord in the wanted subscriber's multiple jack 6, and, by means of a key 50, transmits to a stepping magnet 52 the number of impulses required for bringing the wipers 13', which are wired to the calling subscriber's line, opposite the terminals 11, 12 of the selected cord. To complete the connexion, a key 51 is operated to energize a magnet 53, which depresses the wipers 13' into engagement with the terminals 11, 12. The arm 53<1> lifts the pawl 54 from the ratchet-wheel 55 so that the wipers are ready to move back to normal position as soon as the magnet 53 is de-energized. The magnet 53 locks itself up in series with the calling subscriber's cut-off relay 39, which closes a circuit through the upper winding of the magnet 30, which moves the wipers 22 &c. a step forward into an idle position. This breaks the first-formed connexion with tho operator, who, owing to the de-energization of the relay 43, becomes accessible to other calls. When the calling subscriber hangs up his receiver, the line relay 40 is de-energized and opens the circuit of the magnet 53, which releases the wipers 13<1> from the terminals 11, 12 and permits them to return to normal position.
