Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Camphene.
Filed: 1906-09-24
Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 21,180. Goldsmith, J. N., and British Xylonite Co. Sept. 24. Camphene is prepared by heating pinene hydrochloride with a salt, or salts, of naphthol or other phenols in non-aqueous solution, e.g. in alcohol, benzene, nitrobenzene, and the phenols themselves, in a reflux apparatus, or under pressure. The use of alkali phenates in the " dry " way without an independent solvent is excepted. Sodium, calcium, barium, strontium, magnesium, and lead salts of the cresols and naphthols are suitable, or a mixture that will produce one or other of the above salts may be used, for example, #-naphthol and quicklime, sodium carbonate, or lead oxide. The independent solvent may be dispensed with, and instead certain of the phenol salts may be employed in a " dry " state, containing so little water as to be solid at ordinary temperatures. In this case, the liberated phenols act as the solvent. A mixture of zinc chloride, #-naphthol, alcohol, and pinene hydrochloride is effective. Cresote may be used in place of a single phenol.

Title: Improvements in Adjustable Supports.
Inventor: OLIVER WILLIAM BRADFORD
Filed: 1906-11-12
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 25,490. Oliver, W. B. Nov. 12. Stands.-Relates to an adjustable support specially applicable for telephone instruments, and having self-contained spring-actuated balancing-mechanism, as well as an automatic friction brake the holding effect of which increases with the load, whereby the support as a whole is retained at any inclination, and the article carried retained in an upright or other predetermined position. The support described is fitted for a telephone transmitter and receiver. The members of the stand comprise the main standard 25 and the inner tube 16, both pivoted at the upper end to the supporting-element 34. The inner tube 16 is pivoted at 12 to the cam-plates 6, while the lower end of the standard 25 moves on their cam-surfaces 10. The link 16 passes upwards through fixed washers 37, 39, the upper washer 37 having a slightly elongated hole to allow for lateral play. The coiled spring 44 extends between the fixed washer 39 and the loose slotted washer 41 at the end of a sleeve 45 which is adjusted in position by the screw nut 48. As the standard is tilted, the link 16 moves relatively to the standard, and the increasing compression of the spring balances the support. The longitudinal adjustment of the sleeve permits the proper tension to be exerted upon the spring according to the weight carried. The standard 25 is connected to the cam-plate 6 by the shoe 18, Fig. VIII, having bent inner flanges 19, and a hole 20 for the passage of the link 16. The friction between the shoe and the cam also partly compensates for the weight supported. The bottom of the standard 24, Fig. IX, has projections 28 engaging the slots 21, 22 of the shoe 18, and the wedge lugs 29 resting on the shoe allow for the slight tilting movement of the standard on the shoe which is necessary. The telephone device mounted on the support comprises a switch box 34, receiver hook 50, and the transmitter casing 51. The transmitter is horizontally pivoted to the stem 53, which itself rotates in the vertical post 54. In order that the wires may not become twisted, a stop 56, Fig. X, engages with a screw stud 55 on the post 54, preventing the head from making a complete revolution in either direction. The wires 2 pass through the box 34, link 16, and the base support 1.
