Patent GB-191102766-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Lifting Dogs.
Inventor: PARRY DAVID
IPC: B66C1/42
Filed: 1911-02-03
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 2766. Parry, D. Feb. 3. Lifting-dogs, of the type in which the engaging ends of tong-like arms are held open by automatic catch devices which come into action after a lifted load has been released, and are disengaged to free the arms when the apparatus rests on the article to be lifted, are constructed with special automatic catch devices. Fig. 2 shows a lifting-dog with the arms released from the catches. The tong-like arms a are pivoted in a pair of frame members f which also form guides for sliding members n carrying pivoted pawls q and connected to the ring c of the lifting-tackle. After the dogs have been released from a deposited load, the lifting - tackle is slackened further, thereby causing the pawls to move downwards and outwards over the hooks g until the hooks register with the inclined slots s in the pawls. The pawls then fall by gravity and engage the hooks, thus maintaining the arms in the open position when the arms are raised. When the tongs rest on the article to be lifted, the lifting-tackle is slackened still further until the pawls slide off and pass below the hooks. When the tackle is wound up again, the upper edges of the pawls engage the hooks and are rotated through a half-revolution thereby passing the hooks without locking the arms.

Filed: 1911-02-07
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 3142. Schwarzhaupt, W. Feb. 7. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Tap filters.-A reservoir 1 with a filtering- candle 2 is revolubly mounted in rings 19 which are attached to one arm 18 of a clamp fixed to the tap outlet 4. An inlet 6, secured to the reservoir 1, is mounted on a curved arm 20 which is adapted, when the reservoir is turned through ninety degrees, to be attached by any suitable means to a lever 21 integral with the arm 18, filtered water leaving by a pipe 9. When unfiltered water is required, the lever 20 is disengaged from the lever 21, the reservoir 1 revolved, and the tube 6 allowed to hang vertically. In this position, the end of the tube 9 is inserted in a cover 24 fixed to the rings 19. In a modification, the tube 6 is flexible and is fixed to the tap by a broad washer, the reservoir in this case being fixed to the rings 19. The two forms may be combined in one and the same construction.

Title: Manufacture and Production of New Disazodyestuffs.
IPC: C09B31/02
Filed: 1911-03-24
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 7422. Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co. June 15, 1910, [Convention date]. Secondary disazo dyes are obtained by combining the diazo compounds of 5-amino-4-chlor- 2-acidylamino-1-phenolalkylethers with 1:6- or 1:7-naphthylamine sulphonic acid or a mixture of both, rediazotizing the aminoazo compound, combining with 1-naphthol-3-sulphonic acid, and splitting off the acidyl group. According to an example 5-amino-4-chlor-2-acetylamino-1-anisol and 1-naphthylamine-6-sulphonic acid are used. The products dye cotton blue shades, and may be diazotized on the fabric and developed; development with #-naphthol gives greenish-blue shades. 5-Amino-4-chlor-2-acidylamino-1-phenolethers are obtained by acidylizing 5-nitro-4-chlor-2- amino-1-phenolethers and reducing; or for example 5-amino-4-chlor-2-acetylamino-1-phenolethylether is obtained by the following process:-nitro-p-dichlorbenzene is treated with ethyl alcohol and caustic soda, the resulting 4- chlor-2-nitro-1-phenetol is reduced, and the product acetylized; it is then nitrated and the nitro compound is reduced.
