Title: Improved Process of Manufacturing Esters of Alcohols of Terpenes
Inventor: SHUKOFF ALEXIS ALEXANDER
Filed: 1906-09-15
Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 20,526. Shukoff, A. A. Sept. 15. Terpene alcohols and their esters.-The esters of terpene alcohols are prepared by treating a terpene or terpenes with an unsaturated organic acid, e.g., linoleic, linolenic, oleic or ela´dic acid, or the like, or a mixture of such acids, with a mineral acid as a condensing-agent, and with or without the addition of glacial acetic acid. On saponifying the ester to produce the terpene alcohol, the unsaturated acid is recovered. According to an example, camphene is heated with glacial acetic acid, linoleic acid, and sulphuric acid. The product is diluted with water and the mixed esters are treated in the usual manner, e.g. on saponification with alcoholic potash and acidifying with sulphuric acid they yield isoborneol, which may be distilled over in steam. According to another example, camphene is mixed with glacial acetic acid, linoleic acid, and hydrochloric acid, and is then treated as outlined in the first example. A mixture of camphene, oleic acid, and sulphuric acid produces borneol oleate. Nitric acid may also be used as the condensing-agent.

Title: Device for Feeding Forward Sheets of Paper.
Inventor: SPIESS GEORG
IPC: B65H5/06
Filed: 1909-02-25
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 4663. Spiess, G. Feb. 25. Feeding sheets.-Relates to means for arresting the action of the friction feed-wheels when the sheet reaches a predetermined point. The sheet is fed off by the friction wheels A carried by bellcranks B in engagement with bell-cranks C, which, under the influence of springs D, tend to press the wheels A on to the pile. Underneath the bellcrank C is a member F, which tends to rise under the influence of a spring, but which is normally held down by a catch G engaging a recess E. The catch G is mounted on a shaft K, which carries also an arm H<1> supporting a feeler-finger H, which normally rests in a recess in a conveyer roller L. As the sheet advances, the front edge lifts the finger H into the position shown in dotted lines ; an extension O of the finger then engages a pin M which is rapidly reciprocated by a tappet-wheel N on the shaft R driven to make one revolution for each sheet fed. The catch G is thus disengaged from the member F, which rises and lifts the feedwheel A. The bell-crank C is retained in its raised position until it is required to feed the next sheet by a lever P raised periodically by a cam S on the shaft R. A stud on the cam S engages a pin on the member F and re-sets all the parts. Two feedwheels and two throw-out devices as described are preferably used, and, to permit of adjustment for sheets of different sizes, the throw-out devices are mounted on a transverse shaft W.
