Abstract: 3231. Iversen, J. Feb. 16, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Overwinding, preventing; starting in wrong direction, preventing.-In overwinding devices for hoisting-plant, the engine throttle valve is placed under the control of the reversing-lever in such a way that the valve is opened only when the reversing-lever is moved in the right direction. The depth indicator, shown as a nut travelling on a rotating screw, is adapted to strike tappets 2, 3, and by means of a lever 5 and link 6 to oscillate a lever 7. A spring box 11 tends, to keep the lever 7 in the central position. This lever is connected at its lower end to a bell-crank operating the throttle valve b, and at its upper end is in operative relation with a two-armed lever c connected to the reversing- lever. The mechanism is arranged so that, when the cage is at the top or bottom of this shaft, the throttle valve is automatically opened if the reversing-lever is moved in the direction to cushion the engine or to reverse the direction of motion, while if, on the other hand, the lever is operated to continue the original direction of motion, the throttle remains closed. The throttle valve may be automatically closed at the end of the wind by the engagement of a roller 19 on the travelling nut with a wedge on the bar 13, which is pressed downwards so as to oscillate a lever 16 connected by a link 20 to the bell-crank 9.

Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 9855. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. May 6. Samples furnished under Section 2 of Patents &c. Act, 1907. Oxyarylarsenoxides and arsenophenols are produced by treating p-oxyarylarsonic acids with reducing-agents. In an example, sodium p-oxyphenylarsonate is treated with potassium iodide, dilute sulphuric acid, and sulphurous acid, and in another example, the same compound is reduced by phenylhydrazine, p-phenolarsenoxide resulting in both cases. In another example, reduction with sodium hydrosulphite yields p-arsenophenol, which also results when p-phenolarsenoxide is reduced with hydrosulphite. The p-oxyarylarsonic acids are prepared by decomposing the corresponding diazoarylarsonic acids.

Granted: 1910-01-31
Abstract: 2 8 , 5 6 5. Jensen, C. A., [Spitz, G.]. Dec. 31. Tin oxide; sodium stannate.--Tin oxide, free from alkali and of pure white colour, is obtained by precipitation from sodium stannate solution by means of acids or acid salts such as boric or carbonic acid. The stannate solution may be made by heating tin - plate waste with alkali in the presence of an oxidizing - agent and under high pressure, or by the electrolytic treatment of tinplate waste in an alkaline solution. Lead is removed, for instance, by tin, and zinc by, for instance, sodium sulphide before the stannic oxide is precipitated. The oxide obtained contains alkali which cannot be removed by washing. To remove this, the oxide is calcined, ground if necessary, washed with dilute acids or ammonium salts, and then dried. By using nitric acid, the last traces of salts of lead, zinc, and copper, are also removed.
