Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 15,649. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. June 29. Carboxyarylaminodianthraquinonyl compounds are obtained by condensing halogen or nitro derivatives of 1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinonyl or of 2 : 2<1>-dimethyl- 1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinonyl with salts or esters of o-aminoarylcarboxylic acids of the benzene series. According to examples :-4 : 4<1>-dicarboxyanilino- 2 : 2<1>-dimethyl-1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinonyl is obtained from 4 : 4<1>-dichlor-2 : 2<1>-dimethyl-1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinonyl and potassium anthranilate ; a dibrom- 1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinonyldianthranilic acid is obtained from 2 : 4 : 2<1> : 4<1>-tetrabrom-1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinonyl and potassium anthranilate ; nitro-2 : 2<1>-dimethyl- 1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinony is condensed with potassium anthranilate. Halogen and nitro derivatives of anthranilic acid, such as 4-chlor-2-aminobenzoic acid, 5-nitro-2-aminobenzoic acid, and 5 : 6-dichlor- 2-aminobenzoic acid, are also specified as parent materials. The Provisional Specification refers also to the use of aminoarylcarboxylic acids in general. Dianthraquinonylacridones, which are vat dyes, are obtained by treating with condensing-agents, the foregoing products derived from o-aminoarylcarboxylic acids. In some cases, further ring formation can be effected with the dianthraquinonyl compound, for example the pyranthrone ring formation described in Specification 15,478/05, and the ring formation effected by treating dianthraquinonyl with a reducing-agent; these further condensations can be effected before, after, or at the same time as the acridone ring formation. According to examples, 2 : 2<1>-dimethyl-1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinonyl-4 : 3 4<1> : 3<1>-diphenylacridone is obtained by treating 2 : 2<1>-dimetbyl-1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinonyl-4 : 4<1>-dianthranilic acid with concentrated sulphuric acid, and this product is further treated with alcoholic potash to yield the pyranthrone. The Provisional Specification also states that when products resulting from aminoarylcarboxylic acids which are not o-aminoarylcarboxylic acids are employed, vat dyes are obtained which contain these other rings but not acridone rings. All the above-described vat dyes may be sulphonated yielding wool dyes. Specifications 12,653/09 and 13,907/09 are referred to. Nitro-2 : 2<1>-dimethyl-1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinonyl is obtained by nitrating 2 : 2<1>-dimethyl-1 : 1<1>-dianthraquinonyl,

Abstract: 17,884. Lake, W. E., [Aeolian Co.]. July 27. Expression, controlling; tune-sheets. - In a device for accentuating notes in a piano-player, the wind-chest 3 is normally directly connected to the exhaust chest 1, but the direct connexion may be cut-off by a valve 23 controlled from the tracker-bar, leaving an indirect or governed connexion only. At the same time the wind-chest is connected to a chamber 29, at approximately atmospheric pressure, in order to reduce the vacuum. The tune-sheet apertures for the melody notes are slightly in advance of the ordinary apertures. An additional row of apertures is provided in the tune-sheet, and when one of these registers with a tracker duct 15, a valve 17 is operated, so admitting air to a chamber 19 and operating valves 23, 24 to close a port 25 and open a port 28. The direct connexion through the pipe 27 between the wind-chest 3 and exhaust chest 1 is thus cut off, and the wind-chest 3 is connected to a chamber 29 in connexion with the atmosphere by a bleed-hole 38. The vacuum is reduced in the wind-chest 3, which is only connected to the exhaust chest 1 through a governor 5 and pipe 4. As the tune-sheet apertures for the melody notes are cut slightly in advance of the accompaniment and additional apertures, which are in the same transverse line, a melody note is sounded before the valves 23, 24 are operated, and is therefore accentuated.
