Patent GB-137187-A (GB)
Title: A device for lifting motor-cycles and the like on to their stands
IPC: B62H1/00
Filed: 1919-03-22
Abstract: 137,187. Quick, W. G. M., and Troward & Co., R. March 22, 1919. Supports. - A motor-cycle is raised on to the rear-wheel stand a by means of a hand-lever b fulcrumed on a bolt c carried by a plate d pivoted to the hub. The plate d is secured by a clip f, Fig. 3, to the leg a of the stand. The lever b can be swung outwards from the pivot bolt c against a spring c<1> so as to clear a catch or abutment e mounted on the plate. In the operative position, the lever b rests against the rounded edge of the ca,tch e, which supports it from falling. In operation, the stand a is let down into the position shown in Fig. 4, and the lever b is first pushed forward until it rides over the rounded edge of the catch e and engages with the flat portion, as shown in Fig. 3. It is then pulled forward to lever the machine up on to the stand. Specifications 2479/97, 3545/99, and 13364/15 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of phosphorus oxychloride
IPC: C01B25/10
Filed: 1933-03-09
Abstract: Phosphorus oxychloride is obtained by reacting an alkaline earth metal metaphosphate with chlorine in the presence of a carbonaceous reducing agent at a temperature of 500--750 DEG  C., say at least 650 DEG  C. and/or by preparing an intimate reaction mixture of an alkaline earth metal metaphosphate and carbon by heating together a mixture of tribasic alkaline earth metal othophosphate with ammonium mono-, di- or tri-orthophosphate and coal, and subsequently treating the mixture with chlorine at a raised temperature.  Ammonia is evolved in the preliminary step of producing alkaline earth metal meta phosphate and if the initial orthophosphate (e.g. calcium phosphate) contains silica and fluorine compounds as impurities these combine with part of the ammonia evolved to form volatile compounds such as ammonium fluoride and silico-fluoride.  The ammonium and tribasic alkaline earth metal ortho-phosphates may be ground together but preferably the ortho-phosphate is added in a finely divided state to a concentrated solution or melt of ammonium phosphate which is then evaporated to dryness.  The coal may be mixed with the product which has been evaporated to dryness or with the finely divided ortho-phosphate which is added to the concentrated solution or melt. The employment of a highly coking coal is preferred.  The mixture of ortho-phosphate ammonium phosphate and coal may be granulated prior to carbonization.  A slight excess of carbon is preferably employed.

Title: Process for the preliminary treatment of keratin-containing materials to be dyed
IPC: D06L4/24
Filed: 1966-02-21
Abstract: Keratinous materials, e.g. wool, hair, feathers or hides, are exposed to the action of chlorine dioxide until the cuticular scales of the material are opened or partially decomposed without injuring the cortex or roots and subsequently dyed with e.g. acid, disperse, reactive, oxidation vat or natural vegetable dyes.

Abstract: 310,832. Carpmael, A., (I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.-Ges.). Jan. 28, 1928. Divided on 310,825. Hydrogenated oxydiphenyls are obtained by heating 4: 4<1>-dioxydiphenylcyclohexane, or a homologue thereof, alone or with a catalyst, such as an acid or an acidic or easily dissociating salt. The starting material may be made by the process of Specification 310,825. The products are generally mixtures of tetra- and hexa-hydrogenated oxydiphenyls, the tetra compounds predominating when working under mild conditions, e.g. without any catalyst. In examples, (1) 4: 4<1>. dioxydiphenylcyclohexane is distilled in vacuo, the phenol formed by the decomposition is removed from the distillate, and the product is purified by steam distillation or by recrystallization from water or benzine; a tetrahydro-4-oxydiphenyl is obtained; (2) 4: 4'-dioxydiphenylcyclohexane is heated with zinc chloride; phenol distils off, and the residue is extracted with hydrochloric acid, to remove the zinc chloride, and then dissolved in caustic soda, or acidifying hexahydro-4-oxydiphenyl is obtained; (3) the same product is obtained by passing dry hydrochloric acid gas through melted 4 : 4<1>-dioxydiphenylcyclohexane; and (4) 4 : 4<1>-dioxy-3 : 3'-dimethyldiphenyl-methylcyclohexane (from o-cresol and technical methylcyclohexanone) is distilled in vacuo; the product is a mixture of isomeric hydrogenated oxydimethyldiphenyls. The products are intermediates for the production of dyestuffs and pharmaceutical products.
