Title: Manufacture of Yellow Sulphine Dyestuffs of the Quinophthalone Series.
Filed: 1907-02-19
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 4159. Ges. fur Chemische Industrie in Basel. Dec. 24, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dyes, artificial.-Sulphine dye-stuffs are obtained by introducing sulphydrate groups into dyes of the quinophthalone series. The process claimed consists in condensing thiophthalic acids with quinoline derivatives (quinaldines). It is stated, however, that the sulphydrate groups may be introduced by the usual methods, either by direct displacement of the amino group, or through the sulphinic acid derivative or the sulphochloride by reduction. In an example, #-naphtboquinaldine is condensed with thiophthalic acid, [COOH COOH : :SH=2 2: :6]. Ordinary quinaldine or its substitution products, and dithiophthalic acid are also stated to be suitable initial materials. Condensing - agents, or diluents, may be employed. The dye-stuff melt may be powdered and used directly, or it may be purified by dissolving it in warm sodium sulphide solution, filtering, and then precipitating by means of hydrochloric acid. A paste suitable for printing is thus obtained. The dye-stuff dissolves in alkali sulphides, in alkalies in the presence of reducing-agents, and in hydrosulphite preparations, yielding orange-yellow to citron-yellow solutions. Oxidizing-agents precipitate the dye-stuff in the form of disulphide. Unmordanted cotton is dyed an orange-yellow from a sulphide bath, the colour becoming a pure yellow, fast to washing and light, on exposure to air, or on treatment with oxidizing- agents, for example, potassium chromate solution. The dye-stuff may be used in the usual way for cotton printing, and fcr dyeing and printing wool and silk. Phthalic acid sulphochloride. - Sulphophthalic acid, [COOH : COOH : S03H = 2: 3 : :6], is treated with phosphoric chloride, and the resulting sulphochloride is precipitated by means of ice water. Thiophthalicacid, [COOH :COOH :SH=2:3 :6], is obtained by reducing the sulphochloride with zinc dust. It is a yellow crystalline mass, soluble in hot water, ether, benzene, acetone, and alcohol. It forms yellow, easily soluble salts with alkali and alkaline earth metals, while the interaction of the acid and lead acetate precipitates an amorphous, yellow lead salt. Thiophthalic acid anhydride.-Ata temperature of 160-170‹ C. the free acid melts and loses water, with formation of an anhydride.

Title: A Printing and Adding Cash Till.
Inventor: HALL CHARLES GILBERT
Filed: 1908-12-31
Granted: 1909-08-19
Abstract: 14,721. Hall, C. G. Dec. 31. Typewriters and like machines. -In a till, means are provided for printing a record of transactions and for adding the amounts, the paper-feed being operated by the means for closing the till. The keys 1 each operate a pair of slides 3, 4, which are pin-and-slot geared to arms 5, 11 moving oppositely through complementary angles to set a slide 7, which carries a tooth adapted to be thus set into gear with a toothed wheel 8. The type sector is attached to the arm 9 carrying the slide 7. The key also operates a slide 15 for actuating the platen lever 16. The key depresses a pivoted plate 17 carrying a catch for the sliding bar 19, which is thrust outwards by a spring so as to open the covers of the compartments of the till, the bar 19 carrying rollers 20 engaging in anglepieces at the hinges of the covers. The coins which have been sorted on to the appropriate covers slide down to ledges overlapped by the covers, so that on pushing in the rod 19 the covers toss the coins into the compartments. The rod 19 also operates the lever 27 carrying the pawl 28 for feeding the record strip, which is guided by a frame 26 having an incline 25 to rest on the platen 54 so that in printing the paper is slackened in order to move with the platen. The ink ribbon is led over both ends of the platen-feed roller 30 and a pressure roller 56, Fig. 5, gives grip at one end of the roller 30 so as to feed the ribbon. The type sector is prevented from moving during radial movement of the slide 7 by the spring catch 10 or by being weighted. To ensure the correct movement of the slide 7 a plate 40 is pivoted to the arm 9 and has notches to engage a pin 45 on the arm 5. In the normal position, the plate 40 is held clear of the pin 45 by a pin 42 on the slide 3, so that the initial movement brings the pin 45 to the lower notch 43, the plate 40 being thrown by its spring 46 to lock the arm 5 in this position and the slide 7 in its outward position until the plate 40 is encountered by a pin on the arm 11, whereupon the arm 5 is released and the slide 7 returns to engage the toothed wheel 8. Transfer is effected by pins 22 on the slides 3 which engage pins on the adjacent wheel so as to move the slides the extent of one unit or the pins may be carried on levers pivoted on the pins 42, so as to move the arms 5, 9 in a similar manner.
