Title: Improvements in or relating to sliding hoods, roofs, partitions or the like
IPC: B60J7/06
Filed: 1927-06-10
Abstract: 293,957. Joseph, R. June 10, 1927. Hoods.-Relates to sliding hoods, and particularly to sliding roofs for saloon vehicles. A flexible roof is provided mounted on a spring roller tensioned normally to wind the roof on to the roller and the side edges of the flexible roof are adapted to be secured by a slider fastener of the type described in Specifications 12261/15 and 114,629, [both in Class 44. Fastenings, Lock &c.], to the longitudinal edges of a flexible strip attached to the vehicle sides. The flexible roof 1 is mounted on a concave roller 8 and passes over a convex guide roller 7 the front edge of the roof being secured to a carrier bar 5. An endless chain 21 is mounted on each side of the vehicle on sprockets 14, 15. Fig. 6, and motion by means of a handle 9 and shaft 12 Fig. 1 in one direction is adapted when closing the roof to advance the roof and then to operate the slider fastener. Assuming the roof is closed it is opened by operating the chain so that its upper reach moves forwardly causng the slider carrier to move forwardly to unfasten the edges of the roof by means of a traveller 24 engaging in a concave recess 25 in the slider carrier. At the forward end the traveller leaves the recess which is concentric with the front sprocket and the traveller on continued motion enters a similar recess on the roof bar carrier 30 which is connected to the roof bar 5 by a bracket 33 and carries the roof to the rear where it is wound on the roller 8. In a modification a carrier may be mounted to slide betwen the upper and lower reaches of the chain the carrier being provided with pins which project through the chain and engage appropriately the slider and roof carriers. Roof supporting bars 6 are carried to their appropriate positions and retracted therefrom by means of a carrier 38 Fig. 8 which is moved along the guides 19 on which the roof bar 5 slides. The carrier 38 is adapted to be depressed against spring pressure by cams 51 on the slide 19 so that on moving forward the carrier 38 leaves one of the bars 6 at each appropriate position and collects them on retracting the roof.

Title: An improved process of manufacturing buffer cases or buffer rod guides for railway vehicles
IPC: B61G11/18
Filed: 1919-06-20
Abstract: 138,542. Gatwood, W., and Willans, G. H. June 20, 1919. Railway vehicle detail;;.-Buffer cases or buffer rod guides for railway vehicles are made from a solid billet of wrought iron which is subjected to forging and cutting operations so as to form a hollow body of the desired shape having a number of longitudinal openings in its sides extending from the rear end and forming supporting legs or struts, the legs being flanged at their ends and the nose or front end of the buffer being flared and, if desired, beaded. In the construction of a buffer rod guide as shown in Fig. 1, a heated cylindrical billet A, Fig. 2, is placed in a die D and, by operation of a punch C, assumes the form of a hollow cylinder closed at one end. The billet is then placed in a second die with an opening extending completely through it, and by operation of a punch of smaller diameter, the solid end of the hollow cylinder is pierced. By means of a hot saw or burning jet the requisite number of cuts is then made in the hollow cylinder extending the required distance from the rear end, and the forging is placed in another die D, Fig. 4, where the legs 4 are splayed apart and the flanges 5 formed. By the aid of a. further die block D, Fig. 6, comprising divided halves held by a ring E and an operating-tool C, the nose of the forging is flared and beaded. The flanges 5 serve for attaching the finished buffer rod guides A to the base plate B. A modified process is described for producing the buffer case shown in Fig. 7. The billet A is first placed in a die fitted with a stripper F, Fig. 9, and operated upon by a dump tool G to form the requisite number of flanges 5. A punch is then employed in another die to form a hollow cylinder closed at one end and the process previously described followed out, or the forging may be cut between the flanges 5 and placed in a die D, as shown in Fig. 15. Here the legs are first splayed to the desired shape and the solid end is pierced, and in a further die the nose is flared and beaded. Or, the operation of pressing to the final shape may be carried out in a die comprising inner and outer formers M, N, as shown in Fig. 18. The former M is then removed and a punching-tool C for piercing the solid end and flaring the nose is secured to it by clips 9, divided die blocks D replacing the former M during these operations. The order of carrying out the various operations described may be varied to some extent if desired.

Title: Manufacture of iminomethyl-benzyl cyanides
Filed: 1943-09-27
Abstract: a -imino methyl benzyl cyanides of the general formula Ar-CH(CN)-CH = NH wherein Ar is a phenyl radical which may optionally be substituted with alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, or halogeno radicals, are prepared by bringing together the appropriate a -formyl benzyl cyanide and ammonia and simultaneously or subsequently heating the reaction mixture or reaction product to a temperature in the range 100 DEG -160 DEG  C.  The process may be carried out in two stages in which (1) the a -formyl benzyl cyanide is mixed with liquid ammonia, or a solution of ammonia in water, or an organic solvent such as methyl alcohol at a temperature below 100 DEG  C., or boiling benzene to form an addition product which is decomposed to yield the imino methyl benzyl cyanide by heating it alone, for example to 140 DEG  C. or in a moderately high boiling solvent such as toluene or xylene; when a solvent is used it is preferable to carry out the heating in a stream of ammonia.  Alternatively the process is carried out in a single stage, for example by passing ammonia gas into a suspension of the a -formyl benzyl cyanide in boiling toluene or xylene until no more water is evolved; the a -imino methyl benzyl cyanide separates out either during the reaction or on subsequent cooling. Specified a -formyl benzyl cyanides are a -formyl benzyl cyanide, p-chloro-a -formyl benzyl cyanide, p-methoxy-, p-hydroxy-, and p-methyl-a -formyl benzyl cyanides.  Examples describe the preparation of a -imino methyl benzyl cyanide, p-chloro-a -imino methyl benzyl cyanide and p-methoxy-a -imino methyl benzyl cyanide.  A statement of prior art refers to the reaction of ammonia with molten a -formyl benzyl cyanide at 160 DEG  C. to give a secondary amine C6H5-C(CN) = CH-NH-CH = C(CN) -C6H5.  p-chloro-a -formyl benzyl cyanide is prepared by the action of ethyl formate on p-chloro benzyl cyanide in the presence of sodium ethoxide.  p-methoxy-a -formyl benzyl cyanide is prepared by reacting p-methoxy benzyl cyanide with ethyl formate in the presence of sodium ethoxide.
