Granted: 1902-04-17
Abstract: 5293. Lingner, K. A. F. March 8, A.D. 1901, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Medicinal preparations.-Comists in the manufacture of chlorinated methyl derivative of menthol, which has therapeutic uses, more especially for treatment by inhalation of catarrhal affections of the respiratory passages, in consequence of the facility with which it is split up by hot water or alkaline solutions into formic aldehyde, menthol, and hydrochloric acid, the last of which substances is retained by the solution. The process consists in passing excess of dry hydrochloric-acid gas into a mixture of menthol and formic aldehyde solution heated upon a water bath. The reaction is represented by the equation- C10H19OH + HCl + H9CO= C11H21,OCl + H2O. The upper layer of the product is decanted off and dried on calcined sodium sulphate, and the limpid oil thus obtained is purified by driving off the hydrochloric acid it contains by a current of air cold at first and then heated to 50‹ or 60‹ C. Distillation of the new product gives rise to methylenedimenthyl ether as a bye-product.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Enabling Telephonic and Telegraphic Messages to be Transmitted Over the same Line.
Inventor: TURCHI CARLO
Filed: 1903-04-01
Granted: 1904-03-31
Abstract: 7585. Turchi, C., and BrunÚ, E. April 1. Telephone systems; telegraphs. - Simultaneous telegraphy and telephony may be carried on through one line wire l, and induction prevented, by the telephone connections shown, with ordinary transmitters and receivers. The line l contains an electric horn 8 as a calling-instrument, one of three windings a, b, c of an induction coil, and ordinary telegraphic apparatus ; it is connected to earth through a condenser 10. A self-interrupter 9 may be placed in circuit with a battery 15 and another winding c of the line induction coil, to effect a call. A transmitter microphone 7 may be connected in series with the winding c and part of the battery 15. A receiving-telephone 5 is connected to the secondary winding 6 of a second induction coil, having two primary windings 4, made alike and arranged differentially on an iron core : these windings 4 are separately in series with inductances and capacities 2, the two branches thus formed being both connected to one winding b of the line induction coil. The main feature of the invention consists in making the metallic resistances of the two branches 2 equal, and their inductances and capacities such that complete balance is obtained for currents of or near a particular frequency, which therefore produce no secondary currents in the winding 6 and receiver 5 ; such currents are used for telegraphy in the line l. The range of frequency excluded depends on the insensitiveness of the receiver 5. The receiver 5 is not affected by disturbances of such frequency, produced by power circuits or otherwise. The branches 2 are out of balance for other frequencies, such as those of speaking-currents, which therefore affect the receiver 5. The capacity or inductance may be omitted from one branch. In order to transmit currents between a telephone line 14 and the main line l, the line 14 may be connected through the winding 6 to earth, and includes a repeater consisting of a telephone 12 arranged to act on a microphone 11, which may be placed in circuit with one winding c of the line induction coil to transmit speaking-currents to the line l.

Abstract: 26,290. Barham, C. J. Dec. 1. Kilns.-Relates to modifications in the kiln for drying and burning bricks described in Specification No. 25,931, A.D. 1902. According to the present invention, the roof, sides, and floor of the drying-chambers are composed wholly or partly of metal flues, which form heat - radiating surfaces, and through which the gases are passed before coming into contact with the bricks to be dried. These flues serve to facilitate the deposition of soot and other impurities, and also to cool the gases. Fig. 3 shows a sectional elevation, and Fig. 4 a sectional plan of the kiln. The gases from the burning-chambers b pass through openings e into flues f and thence into a cross flue g, by which they are distributed to the flues h passing under the floors of the drying-chambers a. These flues h terminate at the opposite end in a second cross flue i in communication with the sinuous flues j forming the dividing walls. The side flues k in the roof communicate at one end with the flues j, and at the other with a central flue m which opens into the chambers a. Suitable screens and filtering-media are provided for distributing the gases amongst the bricks to be dried, and also for removing any remaining impurities. The gases are finally withdrawn through the openings o in the floors by a fan or blower q. Access doors to the flues are provided. In some cases, the particles in suspension may be removed in a depositing-chamber of large dimensions, fitted, if required, with baffleplates; or the gases may be filtered through screens. For continuous working, openings e, communicating with branches of the flues f and controlled by dampers r, are provided in the dividing walls of the chambers b.
