Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 1472. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Jan. 19. Dyes, artificial.-Dye-stuffs of the thioindigo series are obtained from alkyloxy- or alkylthioderivatives of phenylthioglycollic-o-carboxylic acid by (1) heating with a bisulphite or thiosulphate, (2) heating with sulphur or a nitrohydrocarbon with or without diluents, or (3) oxidation of the oxythionaphthene derivatives obtained from these bodies. In examples, the production of dye-stuffs is described from the 5-methylthio-, 4-ethylthio, 4-methylthio-, 5-methoxy-, 4-ethoxy-, 5-ethoxy-, and 4-methoxyderivatives. Alkylthioph,enylthioglycollic-o-carboxylic acids.- Acetaminoanthranilic acids are diazotized, the diazo solution is heated with potassium xanthogenate and sodium carbonate, and the product is treated with sodium chloracetate and alkali ; the resulting acetaminophenylthioglycollic-o-carboxylic acid is hydrolyzed, and the product is diazotized ; the diazo-solution is treated with xanthogenate, and the xanthogenate derivative is treated with alkylizing-agents, such as sodium methylsulphate or ethylsulphate. In examples, 5-acetamino- and 4-acetamino-2-aminobenzoic acids are used as the starting material ; the latter body is obtained by oxidation of 2-nitro-4-acetaminotoluene and subsequent reduction. Aminoacetylanthranilic acids may be used as the starting material ; in this case, the alkylthio group is first formed, and then the group -SCH2COOH ; or nitroaminobenzoic acids may be employed. Alkylotryphenylthioglycollic-o-carboxylic acids are obtained from oxyanthranilic acids by acetylizing, alkylizing, hydrolyzing, and diazotizing, then treating with xanthogenate, and finally with chloracetate. In an example, the 5-methoxy compound is prepared. In another example, m-amino-pcresol is acetylized, and the ethyl ether is then prepared and is oxidized to 4-ethoxy-2-acetaminobenzoic acid ; this is then converted into 4-ethoxyphenylthioglycollic-o-carboxylic acid. Allcyloxy- and alkyl-thio-naphthenecarboxylic acids are obtained by treating with alkali the alkyloxy- and alkyl-thio derivatives described above ; they are converted into the corresponding oxythionaphthenes by treatment with acid. These oxytbionaphthenes and the carboxylic acids yield nitroso derivatives upon treatment with nitrous acid.

Bleaching; dyeing; washing. - A machine for bleaching, dyeing, scouring, and similarly treating spun or manufactured fibrous materials, for example slubbings, slivers, warps, felt, lace, and woven or knitted fabrics, consists particularly in a perforated rotary drum in a liquor vat. The liquor is drawn through the coils during and after winding on the drum. The drum b is mounted in stuffing-boxes c at each end of the vat a, and one or both ends communicate through its hollow shafts and pipes d<1>, 4 with the suction sides of a centrifugal pump d. One shaft k is provided with fast and loose pulleys e, f. The perforations are preferably formed in a helical groove in the drum b. They may decrease in size -or number towards the pump d to render the suction uniform along the whole length of the drum. Screw plugs are provided to close the perforations up to the edge of the material according to its width. In operation, the material to be treated is passed from a beam m, over a stretcher o, under one or more guide-rollers p in the liquor, and is then rolled on the drum b, the pump d being set in motion. When the whole of the material is wound on the drum, the end is hooked on arms l provided at the ends of the drum so as to retain the material in position while the rotation of the drum and circulation of the liquor is continued. When the treatment is complete, the liquor is run off through a valve formed by an overflow pipe q, perforated and screw-threaded at the bottom to screw into a seating or outlet v. After dyeing, water is run into the vat a and allowed to overflow through this pipe q. Finally the end of the material is taken off the arms l, and the material is run on to a batching-roller s. For dyeing, a dye-mixing vessel v is provided, of which the bottom is connected with the suction pipe d<1> of the pump d. A valve, preferably of the construction described above, serves to regulate the flow of dye to the pump. The delivery side of the pump is connected by a pipe y with a perforated pipe z in the vat a, and may have a branch furnished with a tap 3 to convey boiling water from the vat a to the mixing-vessel v. There may be provided, also : (1) a lid for the vat a, for example of the revolving type t ; (2) steam-pipes u for boiling the liquor in the vat ; (3) fan or propeller blades 5, to assist in drawing the liquor through the material, and set at an angle on a shaft which runs in the axis of the drum b and is coupled with the shaft of the pump d. The shaft is run in the opposite sense to that of the drum.

Abstract: 11,811. Dogilbert, F. May 21. Typewriters and like machines; platen presses.-Relates to printing- apparatus having a single type which is more particularly applicable to the preparation of matrix sheets for the reproduction of music. The device consists of a solenoid a having a core b which acts through a spring i on a rod c secured to the type-carrier d. The type e is held by a chuck f on the type-carrier d. The tension of the spring i can be adjusted by means of a but h secured to a rod g which may be turned by means of a bead p. The impression is effected by making and breaking the circuit of the solenoid a by means of a pedal or hand-operated device. The type is inked by rollers k carried by levers l which are rocked by the typecarrier d. A pedal s<1>, Fig. 2, depresses a lever t<2> which makes the circuit of the solenoid through two contact-pieces u, u<1>. An electro-magnet t in the circuit attracts the lever t<2> and prevents the breaking of the circuit when the pedal is released. The circuit is broken by an automatic interrupter z, comprising two blades hinged together and connected by a spring z'. As the core b descends, the interrupter leaves a terminal 1 and makes contact with a terminal 2. The current then paeses through an electro-magnet w, which attracts the lever w<2> carrying the contact-piece u<1> and breaks the circuit. When the pedal rises, a hook x restores the lever w<2> to its original position and a spring v raises the lever t<2>. In a modification, the connexions are so arranged that the type strikes repeatedly as long as the pedal is depressed.
