Granted: 1907-10-07
Abstract: 17,773. Rouxeville, E. A. L. Aug. 7, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cements.-Relates to the treatment of terpenes with sulphuric or nitric acid or with sulphur chloride, with the object of producing a rubber substitute or the like suitable for electric insulation. When dealing with oil of turpentine, to 100 parts of this are slowly added 30-80 parts of concentrated sulphuric acid, the mixture being agitated and cooled meanwhile. The mixture is allowed to stand, heated if necessary, and, after cooling, boiled with two or three times its volume of water and again allowed to stand. The dark viscid layer is decanted and neutralized with an alkali, and the yellow emulsion formed is precipitated, if necessary, by means of alum or a weak acid, and the product dried by heating to 125‹ C. It may be further purified by solvents, or by distillation, and may be treated with zinc chloride, alum, tannic acid, or sulphur, for example in the form of sulphur chloride. By treating the oil of turpentine more thoroughly, or by adding resin or rubber, previous to the treatment, a product resembling resin is obtained. If desired, the reaction may be commenced with sulphuric acid and finished with nitric acid or sulphur chloride. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also the manufacture of a guttapercha or caoutchouc substitute from volatile oils, resins, gums, certain heavy oils, certain tars, and nearly all the solid or liquid hydrocarbons, natural or artificial, and their derivatives and compounds. The process comprises five operations, namely: (1), the transformation proper, by means of sulphuric acid or other "oxidizing means," (2) the separation of the product by distillation, decantation, &c., (3) the washing and refining by means of water, weak acids, or alcohol, or by solution or distillation, (4) the treatment of the product with heat, zinc chloride, alum, tannin, sulphur, &c., and (5) vulcanization. The product is used as a varnish, bird-lime, glue, or glaze. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Motor Controllers.
Inventor: SCHATTNER ERNEST
Filed: 1907-04-16
Granted: 1908-05-18
Abstract: 8842. Schattner, E. April 16. Switches.-In a motor starter of the type in which the resistance in the motor circuit is cut ' out by causing mercury to short-circuit the resistance contacts, the resistance conductor is mounted on a hollow member adapted to be immersed in the mercury and provided with a restricted opening so that the mercury flows into it at a definite rate. A cylindrical vessel a, Fig. 1, of iron or the like is approximately half filled with mercury b, in which floats a hollow cylinder c of insulating - material, such as porcelain, round which is wound the resistance wire d. A rod f attached to the top of the cylinder c carries at its upper end the plunger g of a solenoid, which when energized sucks in the plunger and immerses the resistance cylinder c in the mercury, thereby causing the latter successively to short-circuit the turns of the resistance wire d. The rate of cutting out is regulated by the vent holes e in the top and bottom of the cylinder c. The rod f may be connected to the plunger g by levers so as to increase the movement of the resistance cylinder. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the resistance cylinder is hand-operated against the action of a spring m, and is held in its final position by an electro-magnet o holding an armature n on the handle k. Upon failure of current in the electromagnet, the resistance cylinder is returned to the #off' position by the spring m. In a modification, the resistance cylinder is fixed and the mercurycontaining vessel is movable up and down ; or, both the cylinder and the veesel may be fixed, and the level of the mercury altered by raising or lowering a reservoir containing mercury and connected by a flexible tube to the lower end of the vessel.
