Title: Manufacture and Production of New Acid Wool Dyestuffs.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
Filed: 1909-06-24
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 14,820. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. June 24. Samples furnished. Monoazo dyes are obtained by combining the diazo compounds of aminodiphenylethers or their homologues or derivatives in alkaline solution with 2-amino -8-naphthol -6-sulphonic acid or its alkyl, aryl, or aralkyl derivatives. When the products are derived from non-sulphonated aminodiphenylethers they may be afterwards sulphonated. The following components are specified : - o-aminodiphenylether sulphonic acid, oaminophenylo-, -m-, or -p-tolylether, p-aminophenylo-, -m-, or -p-tolylether, 2-aminophenyl - o-tolylether - 4 - sulphonic acid, and o-aminodiphenylether-p-sulphonic acid, on the one hand, and 2-amino-8-naphthol - 6 - sulphonic acid, and its ethyl, phenyl, and benzyl derivatives on the other hand. The products dye wool reddish brown to brown shades in an acid bath. Aminodiphenylether sulphonic acids are obtained by sulphonation or by baking the sulphates of aminodiphenylethers.

Title: Improved Means for Compensating Clock Pendulums having an Alternating Rotary Movement.
Inventor: GRIVOLAS CLAUDE
IPC: G04B17/22
Filed: 1909-07-23
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 17,212. Grivolas, C. Feb. 19, [Convention date]. Pendulums. - Torsion pendulums are compensated for changes in temperature by means of one or more tubes containing mercury, arranged in the pendulum box, so that the distribution of the oscillating mass about the axis is varied automatically by the displacement of mercury. Fig. 3 shows one form in elevation; Figs. 5 and 9 show modifications in plan and elevation respectively. Each compensator, which is like a thermometer tube, has a large bulb A at one end, which may contain a very expansible liquid in contact with a thread of mercury in the capillary tube B. The liquid in A (which, may, however, be dispensed with), by its expansion, drives the mercury into a smaller bulb D, which terminates the tube at its bentup end C, and is situated near the centre of the pendulum-box. When a number of tubes are used, they are symmetrically arranged, and may contain liquids having different coefficients of expansion, Fig. 13. The compensators may be used in conjunction with radially movable regulating-weights H, H<1>. If the expansion of the suspension-ribbon is irregular, the capillarytube B may be suitably bent, as shown, for example, in Figs. 5 and 9, so that its compensating action is correspondingly modified.

Fixed-abutment type; balancing moving parts; packing drums etc.; valve-gear.-The invention comprises improvements in rotary engines of the kind described in Specification 18,394/07. A shaft 2 carries two flanged rotors each provided with a radially-sliding vane 6, 7. The vanes are fitted with rods 19, 14 carrying counterbalancing weights 20, 15, and they are maintained in contact with the eccentric lining 38 of the casing 1 by means of long and short arms 18, 17 which carry pieces 35 working in annular grooves in the cylinder covers, Spring-pressed packing-pieces 42 are made to bear against the flanges of the rotors, and close contact between the lowest point of the rotor bodies and the lining 38 is secured by providing adjustable roller bearings 3 for the shaft 2. The vanes may, as shown in Fig. 14, ba fitted with socketed pieces 102 holding balls which run in grooves in guide members 106. A tubular cut-off valve 49, operated from an eccentric on the shaft 2 and regulated by a centrifugal governor, admits motive fluid alternately through ports 50, 51 to act on the vanes 6, 7. The fluid is admitted to the valve through a ring of ports 53, and a tight joint is secured at the upper surface of the valve by providing an opening 61 opposite to and of larger dimensions than the port 51. A port 45 conducts the exhaust fluid to a chamber 46 which may supply two rotary engines of the type shown in Fig. 12, arranged one on each side of the main engine, all the rotors being secured to the same shaft. The fluid is admitted to act on the vanes 73 through a conduit 96 and ports 97, and is exhausted through ports 98 and a conduit 99. These conduits are extended to admit fluid to the chambers on the further sides of the vanes from the ports 97, 98 in order to equalize the pressures on the two sides of the vanes.
