Abstract: 256,758. Douglas Motors, Ltd., and Pullin, C. G. July 10, 1925. Band; blocks acting on drums; compensating for wear.-The ends of an expanding brake band or of a series of jointed shoes are adapted to be connected to crank pins on an operating reel disposed at points unequally spaced around the axis of the reel so that a greater self-applying action may be obtained with one direction of rotation of the brake drum than the other. The ends of the band 2 are connected the one end by a link 9, to pins 7, 11 on a reel 5 which can be . turned by an arm 22 on a shaft 18 splined to the reel. As shown the pins 7, 11 are about 120‹ apart so that a greater self-applying action of the band is obtained with the drum rotating in the direction of the arrow than in the opposite direction. To render the braking action adjustable a number of holes for the pins may be provided arranged in a tangential line on the flanges of the reel or spirally or in concentric circles about the axis of the reel. The operating shaft 18 has a splined engagement with the reel and is secured thereto by a bolt 20. The shaft may thus be readily detached when it is desired to run on the road wheel of a motor cycle on which the brake is arranged. The splining also permits of angular adjustment of the shaft and operating arm 22 thereon in relation to the reel. The reel extends through a cover plate 12 which however does not take the braking strain, this being transferred to a lug 19 on the frama of the vehicle by the shaft 18. The band is retained by springs 16 against adjustable stops 14 on the plate 12 in the released position.

Title: Improved manufacture of acid anhydrides
IPC: C07C51/56
Filed: 1921-06-30
Abstract: Organic acid anhydrides are prepared by heating an aromatic compound containing more than one halogen atom in the side chain, e.g. benzal chloride or benzotrichloride, with the anhydrous alkali or alkaline-earth salt of a carboxylic acid.  The reaction may take place under increased or reduced pressure; an indifferent solvent, such as xylene, may be added; mixtures of salts instead of the individual salts may be employed; and free acid, such as acetic acid, or previously-prepared acid anhydride, may be present.  In the examples, acetic anhydride is obtained from benzotrichloride and anhydrous sodium or calcium acetate, and from benzal chloride or p-chlorbenzotrichloride and dry sodium acetate; propionic anhydride is prepared from benzotrichloride and dry sodium propionate; and benzoic anhydride is made from benzotrichloride and dry sodium benzoate.  When the starting material is a compound having a dihalogenated side-chain, the corresponding aldehyde is formed as a by-product; thus, benzaldehyde is produced along with acetic anhydride when benzal chloride is heated with dry sodium acetate.
