Patent GB-262311-A (GB)
IPC: G01R19/14
Abstract: 262,311. Vincent, J. G., and Cole, J. O. March 11, 1926. Current direction indicators. - A tube 1 of glass, celluloid. &c. is filled with a chemical indicator, preferably phenolphthalein in an alkaline solution such as sodium sulphate solution, leaving an air-bubble 2. The ends of the tube are closed by rubber or other plugs 5 through which pass lead-covered electrodes 3 having terminals 4. On connecting the terminals 4 to a source of continuous current, a red coloration occurs at the negative pole. If the current is alternating, the coloration occurs equally at both electrodes. shaking the tube causes the coloration to disperse, the tube then being ready for another test. Alternatively the tube may be of U-shape, or in the shape of a flat disc; it may be opaquewith transparent windows opposite the electrodes.-

Title: Process for the protection of copper and alloys thereof, and corrosion inhibiting compositions
IPC: C23F11/14
Filed: 1955-09-14
Abstract: Detergent compositions contain 0.05-5 per cent, generally not more than 1 per cent, of a 2-guanidino-arylo-imidazole as an agent against the corrosion of copper and copper alloys in water or aqueous alkaline solutions.  These compounds, which can contain as aryl radicals the benzene or naphthalene ring, may be further substituted, for example, by halogen or by alkyl alkoxy, nitro, acylamino, alkylsulphonyl, arylsulphonyl or sulphonic acid amide groups, but may not contain any group, such as the carboxylic, sulphonic or phosphonic acid group, which dissociates acid in water.  The preferred compound is 2-guanidino-benzimidazole but many other suitable compounds are specified.  The compositions may also contain alkali metal carbonates, borates, perborates, silicates, pyroand tripoly-phosphates, sulphates and chlorides, anionic sulphonated or sulphated detergents, non-ionic fatty alcohol and alleylphenol polyglycol ether detergents, fatty acid alkanolamides and polyglycol ethers thereof, sulphosuccinic acid esters, soap, fatty acids, carboxymethyl cellulose, and optical brighteners of the stilbene derivative type, such as one of the 4 : 41 bis(triazinylamino) - stilbene - 2 : 21 - di - sulphonic acid class.

Patent GB-263854-A (GB)
Abstract: 263,854. Visser, D. Dec. 31, 1925, [Convention date]. Dials and hands; motionwork. - A clock for timing games includes two pairs of hands driven from the same movement and means for alternately holding fast one pair of hands while the other pair is being driven. Figs. 3 and 4 are views looking from opposite sides of the apparatus. The central spindle 4 of the movement carries a wheel 7 which drives wheels 8, Fig. 3, and 9, Fig. 4. The first train 7, 8, 10, 12, and 14. Fig. 3, drives a minute hand 5 (coloured red) rigid with the wheel 14. A wheel 15 rigid with wheel 12 drives wheel 16 and hour hand 17 (red). The second train 7, 9, 11, 13, and 18, Fig. 4, drives a second minute hand 6 (coloured black) rigid with the wheel 18. A wheel 19 rigid with the wheel 13 drives a wheel 20 and a second hour hand 21 (black). Rigid with the minute hand 5 is a wheel 22 coacting with a lever 24, Fig. 2, and rigid with the hand 6 is a wheel 23 coacting with a lever 25. These levers 24, 25 are pivoted at 26 and have irregularly spaced springy teeth so that the wheels 22, 23 will be definitely engaged. An arm 28 having a knob 29 is so connected to the levers 24, 25 that when this arm is in its extreme positions it raises one lever to engage its wheel and lowers the other. At each complete rotation the minute hand 5 (or 6) raises a projection controlling a bell-hammer 36. Stop mechanism.-A hand-actuated lever 39, 41 carries a leaf spring 42 to brake the balance wheel 43. Fig. 5. When this is drawn to the left to release the wheel, the curved end 44 drags over the wheel and starts the latter in oscillation.

IPC: A62B18/08
Filed: 1929-08-30
Abstract: 337,877. Dengler, A. Nov. 3, 1928, [Convention date]. Transfers; transferring designs.-Pictures fast to light and washing are applied to fabrics by means of a transfer comprising a paper backing to which is applied a paste containing the colours and mordants which only commence to interact under the influence of heat and moisture applied in transferring. The paste includes mordanting- substances such as acid sodium sulphate, milk of lime, or the like, oxidizing-agents such as potassium percarbonate, and thickening-agents such as soap, particularly resin soap, glue, size, or the like. The paste is preferably sprayed on to the paper with warm air, the temperature being insufficiently high to cause the ingredients to interact. In transferring, the fabric may be moistened, or a sheet of moistened paper placed between the fabric and the iron. In an alternative arrangement, the paper may be saturated with some of the chemicals. According to an example, potassium percarbonate is added to a cooled solution of gelatine, and this solution is added to a solution in water of commercial sodium phosphate containing indigo. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect 91 (3) (a) refers also to the use of a material known as " kolloresin " as a thickening- agent. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: An improved method of and apparatus for washing a liquid with another liquid
IPC: C10G21/00
Filed: 1931-09-25
Abstract: <PICT:0373897/III/1> In washing liquids with liquids, e.g. mixed alcohol and naphtha with water, naphtha with caustic soda, distillates with acid, oils with phenol or liquid sulphur dioxide, one liquid is made to pass in fine drops in countercurrent through continuously moving layers of the other, the drops uniting and forming a continuous layer between each passage.  The heavier liquid enters a tower 1 at 9, flows downwards through pipes 4 and is discharged at 10.  The lighter liquid is fed into the tower at 6, accumulates under each perforated plate 2, is forced through the perforations in drops which pass through a layer of heavy liquid and reunite below the next plate 2, and is finally discharged from the tower at 8.  The level of heavy liquid above each plate 2 is controlled by a device such as a float 12 which actuates a valve 14. Ingredients may be added to alter the surface tension of one or both liquids, e.g. soaps or alcohols may be added to water used for washing naphtha. In a modification the perforated plates carry upwardly extending pipes through which the lighter liquid flows, the heavier liquid passing downwards through the perforations.  In a further modification, some of the pipes extend upwards, and some downwards.

[Class 81 (i)] Therapeutic triturations from fresh plants rich in alkaloids are produced by triturating them with triturating media and gradually drying the product with cold air, there being added prior to the drying step and preferably during the trituration stage a substance having an acid reaction. The triturating media are defined as substances having no therapeutic value but when ground with the plants assist in their fine comminution. Examples are grape, milk, cane, fruit, invert and like sugars, polysaccharides such as starch, dextrin and amyloses and other adsorptive media such as colloidal silica, loam, kaolin, fullers earth and aluminium hydroxide. Suitable acids are malic, lactic, citric, tartaric acetic, hydrochloric or sulphuric acids and similar acids. Their function is to stabilize the alkaloids, e.g., to prevent the racemisation of hyoscyamine to atropine, or to fix the volatile alkaloids such as conine, nicotine or ephedrin. Acid buffer mixtures such as those containing monosodium phosphate or calcium lactate may be added, while substances which swell in the presence of water such as polymeric carbohydrates, pectin, starch, tragacanth may be added during trituration. The trituration may be carried out in roller mills to give a product passing through a screen having 6,000 meshes per sq. cm. The drying is carried out at a temperature not exceeding 30‹C. and preferably at 20‹C. to a moisture content of 2 per cent. The product may be subjected to further subdivision and may be mixed with other therapeutically active substances.
