Title: Tubular valve housing having an outwardly-extending flange engageable by an inwardly-flanged internally screw-threaded connectin ring
IPC: F16K27/00
Filed: 1971-06-29
Abstract: 1392295 Pipe couplings TOWNSON & COXSON Ltd 12 June 1972 [29 June 1971] 30328/71 Heading F2G A pipe coupling between a tubular valve housing 1 having a lateral socket 5 for a valve member of the valve and a pipe (not shown) is effected by sliding an internally screw-threaded connecting ring 10 along the end portion 2 of the housing to abut an inwardly-extending flange 8 around its end against a peripheral flange 7 of the valve housing. As shown, assembly is facilitated by so dimensioning the housing 1 that no part of it extends radially sufficiently far, as to foul the connecting ring 10 as it is slidden into position, and the end portion 2 of the housing is integral with its main body. In a modification, Fig. 5 (not shown), the lateral socket (25) for the valve protrudes peripherally to some extent, and the end portion of the housing together with its flange (23) is separate from the main body, so that the end portion and the screw-threaded connecting ring can be fitted together before the end portion is mounted on the end body. In the form shown, the radial flange 3 has an outer end face 11 which contacts a gasket in turn lying against the end face of the pipe to which the housing 1 is to be coupled. The radial flange 3 and the coacting shoulder 9 of the connecting ring 10 are complete rings, extending all round the main axis of the housing. As shown, the opposite end of the housing 1 is externally tapped at 4 to provide a threaded spigot to be screwed into a pipe, but alternatively it may be internally tapped to provide a threaded socket. In the modification of Fig. 5 (not shown), the separate end portion (22) of the housing is externally threaded to be screwed into a tapped socket of the housing; alternatively the two parts can be force-fitted, brazed or welded together after the connecting ring (30) has been positioned on the end portion (22).

Housing 11, piston 32 and cylinder 31 are of plastics, and piston 32 includes a metal ring 40 which closes the circuits by connecting an axially extending contact 41 with axially spaced contacts 45, 44 and 43. Ring 40 may be long enough to switch on one lamp before switching off the adjacent lamp or may be longer so that lamps remain on once energised until the pressure falls. Lamps 53-55 are of different colours to indicate the degree of clogging of the filter element. Aperture 36 in the cylinder wall allows fluid to by-pass element 61 when piston 32 is sufficiently raised. The cylinder and its mounting form an integral unit 25 which is unscrewed from housing 11 to allow replacement of element 61. The lamp housing 65 is shown fitted into unit 25 but could be remotely located.

Title: Process for the manufacture of azodyestuffs
IPC: C09B31/08
Filed: 1933-11-03
Abstract: Disazo dyes are prepared by coupling a diazotized 2 : 4-dihalogenaniline - 6 - sulphonic acid in an acid medium with a middle component of the benzene series which couples in p-position to the amino group, rediazotizing, and coupling with a 2-acylamino-5-naphthol-7-sulphonic acid.  The middle component may be coupled in the form of its N-o -methane-sulphonic acid, and the sulpho group removed before rediazotization.  In the examples: (1) diazotized 2 : 4-dichloro-5-methylaniline-6-sulphonic acid is coupled in an acid medium with m-toluidine and the product is diazotized and coupled in a neutral or acid medium with 2 - benzoylamino - 5 - naphthol - 7 - sulphonic acid; the product gives red shades on cotton; (2) diazotized 2 : 4-dichloraniline-6-sulphonic acid is coupled with m-toluidine-o -methane-sulphonic acid, and hydrolysis is then effected with sulphuric acid; the aminoazo dye is diazotized and coupled with the mixed urea of 2 - amino - 5 - naphthol - 7 - sulphonic acid and p-aminoacetanilide; the product gives red shades on cotton; a similar product is obtained by using the symmetrical urea of 2-amino-5-naphthol-7-sulphonic acid as end component; (3) diazotized 2 : 4-dichloraniline-6-sulphonic acid is coupled with p-xylidine, and the aminoazo dye is diazotized and coupled with 2-acetylamino-5-naphthol-7-sulphonic acid; the product dyes cotton bluish-red.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 states that 2-amino-4-methylanisole or 3-amino-4-chlorotoluene may be used instead of m-toluidine in example 1, and that diazotized 2 : 4-dibromaniline-6-sulphonic acid may be used as the diazo component in example 3.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 253,477. British Enka Artificial Silk Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Naamlooze Vennootschap Nederlandsche Kunstzijdefabriek). March 5, 1926. Right to Patent relinquished. Cellulose xanthates, processes for making filaments from; alkali cellulose.-Hollow artificial textile fibres are prepared by employing a thin fluid viscose and by avoiding the usual precautions for preventing retention of gases in the fibre during the coagulation process, that is, by omitting the degasification of the viscose solution, or by employing a bath that coagulates the viscose rapidly. It is preferred to add a small quantity of a zinc salt to the coagulation bath. The thin fluid viscose mav be one that contains less than 8 per cent of cellulose, or one that is prepared from a strongly bleached cellulose, or from a soda cellulose which has been mercerized in the presence of an oxidizing agent or which has been subjected to an extended ripening process. To the viscose solution may be added pulverized solid material such as pumice powder, which promotes the separation of gas bubbles. In examples, the alkali cellulose is prepared by subjecting it to a ripening for 6 days at 24‹ C., or by adding sodium peroxide to the mercerizing lye, or by employing a cellulose that has been strongly bleached with sodium hypochlorite, and the viscose solution prepared from the resulting alkali cellulose is not subjected to the usual degasification, and to it may be added one per cent of finely-powdered pumice; or the viscose solution is prepared to contain 5 per cent of cellulose and then coagulated in a quickly-precipitating spinning-bath.

Filed: 1921-11-17
Abstract: 172,293. Bergsunds Mekaniska Verkstads Aktiebolag. Nov. 30, 1920, [Convention date]. Starting.-In means for starting an engine in either direction by means of compressed air or gas, an engine-driven valve with two conduits serving for the admission and exhaust of the compressed gas, and a hand-controlled rotary multipleway valve adjustable for running forwards or backwards, the hand-controlled valve is mounted separately from the engine-driven valve. For starting a two-stroke engine having two cylinders 5, 6 with opposed cranks, the rotary multiple-way valve 8 is adjusted by a handle 9, and the engine-driven valve 15 is connected to the cylinders by pipes 22, 23. The valve 8 has ports 11, 12, 13 for communication with an inlet 7 for compressed gas and with one of the channels 18, 19 leading to chambers 16, 17 in the valve 15. The valve 8 also has a tube 14 adapted to connect the other of the channels 18, 19 with one of two ports 28, 29 open to the atmosphere or to a low-pressure reservoir. The handle 9 is connected by a link 27 to arms 24, 25 on spindles 3, 4 carrying cams for raising starting-valves on the cylinders when the handle 9 is in either of the two extreme positions. For forward starting, the handle 9 is placed in the position shown, so that the valve port 11 is in communication with the inlet 7, the port 13 is open to the channel 18 and the chamber 16 in the valve 15, and the valve chamber 17 is connected by the channel 19 and the tube 14 to the escape port 28. For backward starting, the handle 9 is moved to the extreme left, Fig. 1, and in the central position of the handle 9 all communication through the valve 8 is cut off.
