Title: Improvements in Disinfecting Apparatus for use in connection with Flushing Cisterns.
Inventor: BURTON WALTER
IPC: E03D9/03
Filed: 1910-10-20
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 24,302. Burton, W. Oct. 20. Fixed-chamber apparatus.-Relates to measuring-apparatus for delivering disinfectant to water-waste preventers, operated by a float, the object being to deliver the disinfectant near the end of the flush. When the cistern is discharged, the float h descends, the spindle d falls, closing the valve e and opening the valve f, and the contents of the chamber c pass into the basin. Air is admitted to the chamber by a hole i and a valve g, which is opened at the same time as the valve f. The device is supported in the cistern by the pipe a connecting it with the container. In a modified form, the float is carried by a lever pivoted to an arm at one side of the chamber.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of New Caoutchouc Substances.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: C08F36/04
Filed: 1911-01-16
Granted: 1912-01-16
Abstract: 1125. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Jan. 16. Caoutchouc.-Caoutchouc substances are produced by treating butadiene or its homologues, or hydrocarbons which are substitution products of butadiene, with alkali or alkaline-earth metals, or mixtures, alloys, or amalgams thereof, or with ammonium amalgam. The reaction is accelerated by application of heat. Suitable parent hydrocarbons are butadiene, isoprenc, and alpha-methyl-, alpha:alpha-dimethyl-, #:gamma-dimethyl-, alpha-phenyl-gamma-methyl-, #-isobutyl-, and #-n-propyl-, butadienes. The products differ from the known synthetic caoutchouc compounds in the behaviour of their nitrosites and ozonides. Specifications 15,254/10, 17,734/10, and 25,850/10 are referred to. #-Isobutyl-, and #-n-propyl-, butadienes are prepared by the same method as that by which isoprene is produced according to Specifications 12,206/09, 24,298/09, and 8100/10, the parent materials being hexahydroisobutyl- and hexahydro-n-propyl-phenol, respectively. Hexahydroisobutyl- and hexahydro-n-propylphenol are prepared by conducting the vapours of isobutyl- and n-propyl-phenol respectively, together with excess of hydrogen, over heated nickel. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 24,790/10.

Patent GB-191104889-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Clocks.
Inventor: FERY CHARLES
IPC: G04C3/04
Filed: 1911-02-27
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 4889. FÚry, C. March 1, 1910, [Convention date]. Electric clocks.-In an electric clock in which an impulse independent of the voltage of the battery, is given to the pendulum or balance at each semi-vibration by means of a spring, the pendulum &c. receives its impulse immediately after it has passed the mid-point of its swing and thereafter oscillates freely. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a spring H, forming part of a battery-circuit, normally rests against a stop V. When the spring is depressed by the contact of a roller a on the pendulum with a projection b, the circuit is closed through the armature D of an electro-magnet E or an equivalent device, whereupon the spring is bent and imparts a momentary impulse to the pendulum. Clock-hands may be driven by means of a pawl-bearing lever connected to the armature and actuating a ratchet-wheel k, and the clock may be used as a transmitter by providing a contact on the minute-wheel of the train or on the spring H. The roller a may be replaced by a fixed member made of agate, polished steel, &c. An arrangement is described in which a balance is used instead of a pendulum. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following. A pendulum A, Fig. 1<a>, receives impulses from a weighted arm C, acting through an intermediate lever B. When the pendulum is passing its vertical position, a roller a which it carries depresses the lever B so that the end h bears on a contact m and closes the battery circuit. The armature D of an electro-magnet E is thereupon attracted, allowing the weighted end m of the lever C to move through a limited distance and impart an impulse to the pendulum. A small weight h on the lever B brings it to rest on a stop i, thereby breaking the circuit. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement in which impulses are imparted by means of a spring n interposed between a lever B and a lever D which carries coils o surrounding the poles of a magnet F. The pendulum is included in the battery circuit, electric contact being made between a roller a on the pendulum and a finger b on the lever B. A further modification is shown in Fig. 4, in which an impulse-giving spring H normally rests against the end of the armature D of an electro-magnet E, but when the armature is attracted on the closing of the circuit at contacts a, b, the end q of the spring follows the armature, and an impulse is thus imparted to the pendulum. When the roller on the pendulum conducts the current, the pivot may be connected to the pendulum-rod by a very weak spiral spring or a light blade spring through which the current passes. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
