Patent GB-190417607-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Antiseptic Preparations and Process of Producing the same
Inventor: ENDEMANN HERMAN
Filed: 1904-08-12
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 17,607. Endemann, H. Aug. 12. Resinous compounds.-Antiseptics, for use with food, for the prevention of lactic fermentation and for industrial or medicinal purposes, are obtained by oxidizing resin, a solution of resin size, made by treating resin with caustic soda, being mixed with permanganic acid at a temperature of 0‹ C. This temperature is obtained by means of crushed ice or otherwise, and is maintained for some time after the mixing process is finished. The mixture is rendered alkaline by addition of soda and is boiled, manganese peroxide being precipitated, and soda salts of acids afterwards formed obtained in solution. Addition of an acid to the evaporated solution precipitates a mixture of abietic acid, an aldehyde acid (C16H21O3) and a bibasic acid (C16H24O4). The acids may be separated either by the use of solvents such as benzene, followed by precipitation by means of petroleum ether, or by taking advantage of the different solubilities of their barium or other salts.

Abstract: 29,422. Dawson, A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Dec. 31. Counting - apparatus. -- In an electric order apparatus for ordnance, in which separate transmitters are used to transmit the range and deflection of the objective, each of the transmitters and receivers has a separate electromotor, the armature of which is connected with a counting-device. The " deflection receiver has two sets of counting- apparatus, for indicating deflections to the right or left, and the arrangement is such that the indication of one set increases in value while the other decreases. Fig. 10 shows the two sets of counting- drums, revolving simultaneously in the same direction, but having the numerals arranged in reverse orders. Shutters b, b<1> automatically come into position for hiding the indication which is not to be observed. To this end, the shutters are carried on toothed discs b<3>, b<4>, gearing with pinions b<6> on the shaft b<7>. The left-hand drum of each pair has on its edge two pins gearing with these pinions in such a way that, when the drums are turned in either direction from the zero position, movement is given to one of the pinions and shutters.

Abstract: 13,964. Corkhill, P. F. July 6. Distributing; lighting, systems of.-A time-switch is placed in series with a no-load cut-out to open the circuit of lamps, fans, or other current-consuming devices which are only required to be utilized for short periods in lavatories &c. In alternative arrangements, the lamp &c. circuits are branched and some of the branches, not provided with automatic cut-outs, are only caused to flicker momentarily by the action of the time-switch, or work constantly, uninfluenced by the time-switch. As shown in Fig. 1, the system comprises a set of lamps y in series with the time-switch q and the automatic cut-out A, a second set of lamps z<2> in series with the time-switch only, and a third set z directly across the mains through an ordinary switch z<1>. The time-switch preferably consists of a clock rotating a cam n, which is in connexion with one of the circuit terminals r and against which presses a spring o attached to the other circuit terminal p. The circuit is momentarily broken each time the spring arrives at the point n' of the cam, thus causing the circuit-breaker A to operate. The clock is provided with a movable arm on the rod t to arrest the escapement when desired.

Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 14,193. Brown, A., and Young, R. July 10. Starching clothes and the like.-In the pneumatic pressure process for impregnating or coating substances with liquids, the liquid is forced into the containing vessel under the pressure of the air exhausted therefrom. The invention is applicable generally, but dyeing and starching fabrics are specified. The vessel A containing the substance to be treated is exhausted of air by the pump B, which simultaneously forces the air into the liquidcontaining chamber C. When a suitable pressure, say four atmospheres, has been attained in the latter, communication is established through the pipe I with the vessel A, which is thereupon filled with the liquid under pressure.

Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 16,540. Case, H. W. Aug. 15. Rails, securing to sleepers ; permanent way; electric railways.-Relates to railroad sleepers and consists in a clamp for securing rails thereto, means for electrically insulating the rails from the eleepers, and in their general arrangement. Fig. 1 is a view of the permanent way showing the arrangement of the sleepers, and Figs. 2, 3, and 4 a plan and end and side elevations respectively of the clamping-means. Each of the clamping-members 8, 8<a> is provided with a hooked part 9, 11 adapted to engage the upper part of the sleeper and a part 12 engaging by its inclined edge 13 the rail flange. Placed between the rail base and the sleeper is an insulating rectangular block 6, preferably of wood, and arranged above and near the ends of this block are other insulating-blocks 7. These blocks insulate the rails 23, and make the arrangement suitable for electric railways or for railroads where electric signals are used. Blooks 6 also serve as a cushion for deadening the noise and vibration. The clamping-members are securely fixed in position by the bolts 19, 14. The sleepers are arranged in zigzag manner, being strengthened by auxiliary supports 27, and the bolts 19 are made of sufficient length to engage the clamping-members of two sleepers at the ends where they are closest together. When the zigzag arrangement is dispensed with, the sleepers are formed with a pair of notches 24, 25, Fig. 5, to receive the clamping-members and thus prevent spreading of the rails.

Abstract: 20,479. Lake, H. H., [American Ball Co.]. Oct. 10. Shearing; forging.-An apparatus for severing slugs from a heated rod 24 and compressing them into spherical balls, Fig. 25, which are afterwards ground and polished, is shown in the Figures. The edges 21 of the disk cutters 20 may be helical and act continuously, or may not extend completely round the cutters and have eccentric Cutting-parts and concentric parts for holding-up the rod 24 while the slug is being transferred by the fingers 59. to the dies 52, 53. When the cutters release the rod 24, it falls on to a spring-mounted stop 46 on a slide 47 carrying also spring fingers 80, Fig. 12, for steadying the slug. The slide 47 is reciprocated by a cam on a shaft 26, and, should the slug be too short to be gripped by the transferrerfingers 59, it is pushed out of the fingers 80-by a fixed bar 83. The cutters, which form the slugs with conical ends and thus reduce the work of the dies 52, 53, are mounted on the stationary shaft 26, driven by gearing 29, 30, and a shaft 27 in adjustable bearings 28 and geared with the shaft 26 by wheels 32 and an idle wheel 33. A wedge 85, adjusted by a screw 86, is placed between the lower bearings of the shafts 26, 27. The annularchambered rod guide 39 is heated by a gas flame directed into an opening 40, has heat-radiating gills at)its lower end, and is laterally adjustable. The slide 63 carrying the fingers 59 is operated by a cam 65 on a shaft 56 which reciprocates the lower die 53. The lower die is surrounded by an inclined shoot 70, and both dies are fitted with central, spring-retracted ejectors, which are projected as the die 53 reaches its lowest position by means of a rod 72 and a stop 74, and by means of a crossbar 76 connected to the lower die-holder. A pivoted spring ejector 89, attached to a spring- pressed slide 91, is pushed through the opening between the dies, by means of a projection 630 on the slide 63, when the slide 63 is bringing another slug to the dies.

Title: Improvements in the Electro Deposition of Zinc.
Inventor: PAWECK HEINRICH
Filed: 1907-04-12
Granted: 1908-05-12
Abstract: 8562. Paweck, H. April 12. Electrolytes; zinc, depositing.-Consists of improvements on the process for depositing zinc particularly on iron, described in Specification No. 1688, A.D. 1902. The concentration of the solution of zinc salts used is from 250 grammes per litre to saturation, and the boric acid or boron compounds added in the prior process may be used in smaller amount or omitted. The formation of basic salts is prevented by keeping the bath slightly acid by the continuous or intermittent addition of strong mineral acids with or without boric or phosphoric acid or the like. High current densities are employed. It is stated that zinc chloride requires a lower tension than the sulphate, and that a mixture of chloride and sulphate is preferable to sulphate only.
