Title: Manufacture of Neutral Soluble Silver Compounds.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1900-12-22
Granted: 1901-11-16
Abstract: 23,507. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Dec. 22. Antiseptics.-Neutral soluble silver compounds which contain silver in a masked condition with respect to the usual specific silver precipitants, and are useful as antiseptics especially in the treatment of gonorrhoea, are produced as follows:- Gelatoses, i.e. products obtained by hydrolysis of glutin and aldehyde-glutin by means of acids, alkalies, boiling water, putrefaction or digestion, which are known as glutoses, glue-peptone, gluealbumose, semi-glutin, hemicollin, and the like, are dissolved in water and the solution is neutralized, mixed with a solution of a silver salt, such as the nitrate or acetate or silver succinimide, and evaporated to dryness or precipitated by means of alcohol or acetone. Or silver oxide is dissolved in a gelatose solution, and the solution is neutralized with acid and treated as above. Hexamethylenetetramine gives a precipitate easily soluble in excess of the precipitant and the solution thus obtained gives a soluble powder when evaporated to dryness. Easily soluble double compounds are obtained by evaporating the solutions of the salts of silver with solutions of urea, piperazine, &c.

The b o s s has a diametrical slot 23, containing a sliding piston vane 26, which is formed of two plates connected by tail pieces 28 fitted with a friction roller 30. The ends of the piston vane are fitted with shoes 32, and antifriction plates 35 fitted with rollers are placed in each side of the piston vane. The motive fluid is excluded from the slot by packing-strips 41, 42. An adjustable abutment plate 44 is placed at the line of contact of the boss and cylinder. The supply and exhaust pipes 55 and 56 are connected to recesses 52, 53 in the ends of the cylinder, and a valve 59 on a rocking shaft 57 controls the admission. The engine is made reversible by fitting three-way plug valves 73, 74, Fig. 10, in suitable passages in the valve-chest and connecting them by links 75 so that the motive fluid can be directed to either side of the cylinder. In a modification, the piston vane and antifriction plates are each formed of a single plate. In another modification, the cylinder is fitted with a rotatable lining and surrounded by a ring of rollers.

Filed: 1902-05-22
Granted: 1902-10-16
Abstract: 11,705. Wilson, C. J., and Heist, L. G. May 22. Vapour burners.-The burner consists of a semicircular tubular base 1, Fig. 1, supporting at the ends two burner heads 2, and at the centre a stem 12 at the top of which is a vaporizing-chamber 11 and a trap 13 to retain impurities. The stem 12 is provided with two vertical passages 18, 19, Fig. 4. Within the former passes the oil-inlet tube 20, which at its upper end is bent downwards to discharge the oil into a circuitous vaporizing-passage 16.
