Abstract: 8825. Johnson, G. W., [Boehringer & S÷hne, C. F.]. May 12. Potassium salts; barium salts.-Oxyphenyl tartronic acids of the constitutionin which formula X represents a radicle of a univalent or polyvalent phenol, are produced by heating with a caustic alkali the condensation products of phenols and alloxan described in Specification No. 12,882, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Acids and salts, Organic, &c.], whereby the urea residue of the alloxan is split off. The free acids are isolated by acidifying the mixture extracting with ether, and evaporating off the solvent; or, preferably, the acids are separated in the form of salts such as the potassium or barium salts. Examples are given in which p-oxyphenylp-oxy-m-methoxyphenyl-, o-oxy-m-toluyl-, and m-p-dioxyphenyl-tartronic acids or their salts are prepared. The acids are soluble in water, but readily decompose with evolution of carbon dioxide. They yield a silver mirror with ammoniacal silver solutions.

Title: Improved Method of and Means for the Vaccination of Animals with Virus.
Inventor: JAMES REGINALD WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-09-24
Granted: 1901-06-22
Abstract: 16,999. James, R. W., [Thomas, 0.]. Sept. 24. Vaccination appliances.-Animals are impregnated with viras by inserting under their skins short lengths of thread previously saturated with virus and dried. Figs. 2 and 3 show a duplex apparatus for preparing the threads, comprising drying- drums T, to receive the threads, mounted on standards U, and connected by spring clutches to their axles so as to be readily removable. The threads are unwound from bobbins mounted in carriages L, which engage rotating screw-threaded shafts, and are'moved laterally so as to wind the thread on the drums T. After leaving the bobbins the threads pass downwards to the bottom of a conical vessel containing virus of suitable strength, then up a glass tube, having a cylindrical portion of small diameter at its lower end, and a conical portion at its upper end which terminates in an aperture of exact size, thus removing any surplus virus. An aperture of 1¢ mm. allows 195 grs. of liquid to pass through on 100 metres of thread. The threads are then wound on the drums T. The shafts K and drums T are connected by belt gearing with shafts I, F connected together by spur-gearing, the shaft F being driven at suitable speed by a friction wheel mounted on it engaging a disc B driven by bevel gearing from the main shaft A. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement for automatically stopping the machine when the drums are full. The spur-wheels H connecting the shafts F, I are provided with clutches by which they are connected with the driving - pulleys J for the drums &c. The clutches are pressed apart by a spring R<1>, but are normally secured together by a lever 0 which is engaged by a tooth y' formed on a tripping-lever N as shown. When the carriage L engages the lever N, the clutch is released and is drawn back by the spring R' until pins on the back of the clutch engage fixed stops on the support Q and stop the mechanism. The carriages may then be disconnected from the shafts K and returned to their starting-place, during which operation they engage a lever connected to the lever 0, and restore the clutches to an intermediate position, where they are secured by a tooth y on the lever N.

Parcelling ; packeting.-Relates to apparatus of the kind described in Specifications No. 18,372, A.D. 1897, and No. 16,405, A.D. 1898, [Abridgment Class Fuel, manufacture of], for boxing matches or like articles. The matches are discharged from a carrier 1, into hoppers 2, fixed to a carrier 3, which may be vertically reciprocated by means of links 7, levers 8, 12, rods 11, and cam on the main shaft 16. When the carrier reaches its lowest position, the matches are ejected by pushers 17, into box drawers 23, carried by receivers 24, which are supported by an intermittently travelling chain. If desired, the matches may be discharged into the receivers, and thence into drawers. The pushers 17 are actuated by means of cams 22, and levers 20, engaging with a bar 18, carrying the pushers. After the drawers have been filled, they are pushed, by plungers 34, into outer cases held within frames 29, having flaring mouths, and provided with flexible blades 31, for holding the cases. The cases with their contained drawers are expelled by the further movements of the plungers, which have projections or spurs 33, designed to press against the cases. Each plunger 34 carries a movable head 46, which serves to push into their proper positions any matches projecting from the rear ends of the drawers. These movable heads advance and recede with the plungers, being connected thereto by levers 49, which are, however, released during the latter part of the forward stroke, by means of inclined surfaces 55, so as to allow the heads to be pushed back when they strike the frames 29. A movable finger 59, may be employed for pressing upon the matches during the boxing operation. The outer cases may be fed into the frames 29, by plungers 36, reciprocating in chutes 40, into which the cases fall from magazines 35.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Thermo-electric Couples.
Inventor: HERMITE EUGENE
Filed: 1901-02-09
Granted: 1901-03-16
Abstract: 2835. Hermite, E., and Cooper, C. F. Aug. 1, A.D. 1900, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Thermo - electric batteries.- Relates to a battery in which each couple is composed of cuprous sulphide and copper, german silver, silicon-iron or - steel, chrome-iron or -steel, platinum, platinum-iridium, brass, or bronze, but brass is preferably employed as it does not combine with sulphur at a red heat. The cuprous sulphide is preferably employed in the form of a tube which is obtained by heating a bar of copper in a crucible containing sulphur and then removing the core of unsulphurized copper. The couple may be made by winding a brass wire h, Fig. 7, covered with a copper wire g, on to a tube d of cuprous sulphide, and then heating them until the copper wire becomes sulphurized and united with the tube d. In the process the mass swells, and the brass wire becomes embedded in it, forming a couple of the shape shown in Fig. 11. The tube d may be replaced by a bar of copper which is sulphurized at the same time as the wire. The copper wire g may be dispensed with. Fig. 12 shows another couple before sulphurization. It consists of a tube d of copper around which is wound a layer i of brass netting or of mixed brass or copper threads over which is wound a copper wire j, and the winding is finished by a brass wire h covered with copper wire g. Fig. 13 illustrates the method of mounting the couple, p, q being the hot and cold junctions respectively. Over one end of the tube d of copper sulphide is placed an iron ferrule m, lined with brass inside and provided with a steel rod o, which passes within the tube of copper sulphide without touching it, and extends only as far as the junction p. The outer end of this rod is thrust into the flame or other source of heat, and the inner end of it is screw-threaded to facilitate radiation of the heat. Round the ferrule m is wound a brass wire r, and this is continued up to the junction p. Over the brass wire and over the junction p is placed a covering s of paper, asbestos, mica, or the like, and round it is wound an iron or steel wire t. The cold junction q is similarly protected. The ferrule m may fit directly over the hot junction p.
