Title: Manufacture and Production of New Anthracene Derivatives.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1909-05-20
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 11,931. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. May 20. Samples furnished. Anthraisothiazoles which are either dyes or intermediate products for the production of dyes are obtained by treating anthraquinone-a-mercaptans with ammonia and sulphur, preferably in the form of polysulpbides. Instead of the mercaptans compounds yielding these by the action of polysulphides, may be used, for instance, alpha-halogen derivatives, a-sulpbonic acids, a-rhodanides or, according to the Provisional Specification, a-xanthogenates. In the case of the rhodanides, they may be heated with ammonia alone. The following products are specified :-1-anthraisothiazole, 1 : 5- anthradiisothiazole, 4- and 5-amino-1-anthraisothiazole, 2-methyl-1-anthraisothiazole, and 4-amino- 1-anthraisothiazole - 8 - sulphonic acid ; the lastmentioned compound dyes wool yellow shades.

Abstract: 3486. Horton, R. Aug. 11. Catches, gravity; multiple fastenings for boxes &c. - The sides and ends of a folding packing-case or the like are connected together by engaging U-members 6, 7, Fig. 4, the latter of which carries two or more superposed pivoted catches 10, 11 forming a double-detent arrangement; the upper catch may be secured by a padlock to the side or other part of the case. The catches have inclined edges 11<a>, 9 operating in conjunction with an inclined edge formed on the member 6, so that any inwardlydirected pressure applied to the member 7 causes the catches &c. to wedge together, thus preventing any actual displacement of the ends of the crate in an inward direction. The top of the crate is attached as follows. A metal plate 12, slotted as shown in Fig. 2, is secured to the inner face of each side, and the top is provided with projections-shown as bolts 13 with enlarged heads 14-adapted to be engaged in the slots by a suitable sliding movement. One end of the crate is left open, while the lid is being thus placed in position. According to a modified construction, shown in Fig. 5, for attaching the lid, a locking-bar 19 sliding in guides 21 is mounted near the upper inner face of each side, projections 20 being attached to the top. One end of the locking-bar is cranked at 22 to form a handle accessible from the outside through a slot 23. The bar is formed with bayonet-slots 24 as in the previous construction. To lock the top, the bar is moved to the left and the top placed in position with its projections lying in the open parts of the slots; moving the bar to the right then effects the fastening.
