Abstract: 9744. Kalle & Co. May 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Samples furnished. Azo dyes are obtained by diazotizing and combining with a dye component the 2-amino-5- naphthol-1-sulphonic acid described in Specification 9743/10, or by combining diazo componnds with this acid or its acidyl derivatives. The acid may be combined with diazo compounds in acid or alkaline solution ; in the former case the sulphonic group is split off, dyes derived from 2-amino-5- naphthol resulting ; in the latter case coupling takes place in the 6 - position. According to examples there are specified :-a yellow-red dye from the acid and diazotized aniline ; a red-violet dye from the acid and tetrazotized benzidine ; this dye on diazotization on the fibre and development with #-naphthol, gives a blue tinged with red ; from diazotized aminoazobenzene sulphonic acid and the acid, a dye giving red shades tinged with blue on cotton and wool. The acidyl, for instance, acetyl, benzoyl, and urea, derivatives of the acid give bluer shades ; p-toluidine, xylidine, cumidine, and alpha- and #-naphthylamine are specified as diazo components. The urea derivative gives with simple diazo compounds, monoazo and primary disazo dyes. Specification 3615/00 is also referred to. Acetyl, benzoyl, and urea derivatives of the aminonaphthol sulphonic acid are obtained by treatment with acetic anhydride, benzoyl chloride, and phosgene respectively.

Abstract: 27,435. Hipkins, W. E., and Brown, A. W. Nov. 25. Computing-apparatus.-Relates to a machine for computing multiples or percentages of a weight, or of articles of a certain weight, and consists in balancing by means of a supplementary beam the poise-carrier of the steelyard, whereby the weight acting on the steelyard is that only of the article or articles placed on the poise-carrier. The platform b is coupled as usual to the steelyard g by means of an intermediate lever d and rods c, f. The poisecarrier n supporting a pan q hangs from one end of a supplementary beam j and is balanced by a weight u. The beam is carried on a trolly h which may be adjusted along guides i to bring the poise-carrier to any part of the steelyard. Assuming the graduations of the steelyard to be in dozens, one dozen articles are placed in the pan q, and, by adjusting the poise - carrier to equilibrium, the number of similar articles on the platform b may be read off. By using a multiplicity of index scales on the steelyard, computations in different standards may be made. An additional weighing- beam may be used for obtaining weighings independently of, or in conjunction with, the computations.

Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 3688. North, O. D. Feb. 14. Fixed - abutment type, piston having ouiwardly - sliding vanes. The piston vanes are pressed outwards into contact with the walls of the working chamber by the working fluid, which is conducted to the piston-vane pockets by ports in the rotor and the end walls of the stator. Throughout the major part of a revolution, the vanes are pressed upon by fluid conducted from the high-pressure port of the engine or pump, but when a vane is passing the low-pressure port, i.e. the exhaust of an engine or the suction of a pump, and in order to put the vane in equilibrium while being moved inwards by the cam-surface of the working-chamber, the vane is pressed upon by fluid taken from the low-pressure port. Fig. 3 shows a suitable arrangement of ports for a non-reversing pump. The pockets o communicate with long ports m, which are open to the delivery ports g, except when a vane is passing one of the inlet ports f, and then the pocket in which that vane slides communicates with a short port n and so receives pressure fluid from the port f. The concentric parts such as h, i of the walls of the working chamber are connected by eccentric portions which extend across the inlet and outlet ports. In the pump shown in Fig. 4, there are three sets of concentric parts h, d, i of the walls of the working chamber. An outlet is placed at the end of the largest part h, and a second outlet at the end of the intermediate part d. A more regular discharge is obtained in this way. Other arrangements of the ports for admitting steam behind the vanes adapted for reversing-pumps are described.
