Patent GB-190628240-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Compounds and of Colouring Matters Containing Sulphur.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1906-12-11
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 28,240. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Dec. 11. Thionaphthene derivatives.-Halogen derivatives of 3-oxy-1-thionaphthene (thioindoxyl) or of its tautomeric form 3-ketodihydro-1-thionaphthene, or their homologues or derivatives, are prepared by treating the parent body with halogen or a substance evolving halogen, such as sulphuryl chloride ; the products contain halogen attached to the ring containing the sulphur atoms. In examples, the preparation of the following bodies is described : mono- and di-brom- and mono- and di-chlor-3- ketodibydro -1 - thionaphthene. 5-Chlor-3-ketodihydro-1-thionaphthene, which may be used as the parent body, can be prepared, according to the Provisional Specification, by heating 4-chlor-2- carboxy-1-phenylthioglycollic acid with caustic alkali. Treatment with water, or other saponifying agent, converts these halogen derivatives into the corresponding 2: 3-diketodihydro - 1 - thionaphthene compounds. The dihalogen compounds upon treatment with a body containing a primary amino group, such as aniline, hydrazine, or hydroxylamine, yield the corresponding derivatives, which also may be saponified. Dyes, artificial.-Colouring-matters are obtained by the condensation of the halogen derivatives, either by themselves, or in presence of indifferent solvents or diluting-agents, and with or without suitable condensing-agents. The halogen derivatives need not be isolated for this purpose, as the reaction mixture containing them may he treated to give the colouring-matter. An example is given in which a colouring-matter is obtained from the product of the reaction of sulphuryl chloride on 5-chlor-3-ketodihydro - 1 - thionaphthene. Colouring-matters are also obtained by condensing the dihalogen derivatives with 3-ketodihydro-1-thionaphthene, or with indoxyl, or homologues, analogues, or derivatives of these bodies. In an example, the dibrom derivative is condensed with acetylindoxyl; the product gives with hydrosulphite a greenish-yellow vat which dyes cotton violet. Specifications No. 22,736, A.D. 1905, and No. 26,190, A.D. 1906, are referred to.

Title: Improvements in Steam Traps.
Filed: 1907-05-07
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 10,607. Hopkinson, A. H., Kilburn, R., and Hopkinson & Co., J. May 7. Steam traps.-A steam trap, with valve actuated by an expansible fluid, is constructed to work under varying pressures and temperatures of steam. The valve is divided into two parts, the upper part a which carries the valve seat b being screwed into the steam chamber or pipe, and the lower part g carrying the valve l being connected flexibly to the upper part by the spring e held in the lugs d, f. The valve h is mounted on a sliding rod k which extends into the chamber g containing the expansible fluid, actual contact with which is prevented by the flexible tube m. The valve can be adjusted towards or away from its seat by turning the part g or the part a in the spring e. Screws p serve to lock the parts in position when adjusted. The spring e is sufficiently strong to withstand the full pressure of the steam on the valve without yielding, but yields under the forces brought into play by the differential expansion of the fluid and the parts of the trap. A cylindrical extension q may be fitted to the valve seat, thus directing the steam &c. over the chamber g and causing the valve to operate quickly. In modified constructions, the parts are connected by a pair of springs acting through yokes, or the part d is extended downwards so as to form a casing enclosing the part f and the spring.
