Abstract: 23,197. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Oct. 20. Hydrazines; pyrazolones; pyrazolone dyes.- Pyrazolones containing a free hydroxyl group are produced by condensing hydrazines obtained from o-aminophenol and its derivatives with ketonic compounds such as acetoacetic and oxalylacetic esters, dioxytartaric acid, &c. Suitable o-aminophenols are 2-amino-1-oxybenzene-4-, and-5-, sulphonic acids, 4:6-dichlor- 2-amino-1-oxybenzene hydrochloride, 4-chlor-2- amino-1-oxybenzene-6-sulphonic acid, other mono- and di-chloraminophenols and their sulphonic acids, nitro-o-aminophenols and their sulphonic acids, aminocresols and their sulphonic acids and halogen substitution derivatives, and o-aminophenolcarboxylic acids. The hydrazine obtained from 4-chlor-2-amino-1- oxybenzene-6-sulphonic acid when condensed with dioxytartaric acid gives an orange wool dye of the tartrazine type.

Title: Improvements relating to the Lubrication of Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BUTTERFIELD WILLIAM HUGHES
Filed: 1912-01-09
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 658. Butterfield, W. H. Jan. 9. Force-feed lubricators.-The lubrication of an internal-combustion engine, particularly of the two-stroke-cycle type, is effected by suction caused by changing pressure in the crank chamber. A system of connected passages in the crank-shaft, crank, connecting-rod, and gudgeon pin is open to the crank chamber through an orifice 13<a> beneath the piston. Oil is supplied by a pump or other means to a groove 2 in one of the crank-shaft bearings, and when the piston is rising the oil is sucked through the passages to lubricate the connecting-rod bearings and, through the gudgeon pin, the cylinder. On the downward stroke of the piston, a radial passage 6, Fig. 2, in the crankpin is out of register with a groove 7 in the connecting-rod 9, and the return of the oil is thus prevented. Specification 659/12, [Class 12(ii), Lubricating passages &c.], is referred to.

Title: A Process for the Fractional Separation of Paraffin and like Materials and Mixtures of such Materials with Oil.
IPC: C10G73/42
Filed: 1912-01-23
Abstract: 1810. Triester Mineraloel-Raffinerie, and Opl, K.. Aug. 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Paraffin, extracting and purifying.-Paraffin or like substances and mixtures thereof with oil are fractionally separated by cooling to a temperature a few degrees below the solidifying- point whilst agitating the material. For treating small quantities, a hand agitator is employed, the separated harder paraffin rising to the top on standing owing to air bubbles. For larger quantities, a vessel is employed having a slightly conical bottom, filled with water up to the level of a fine-mesh sieve, and fitted with a mechanical agitator, steam-coil, direct or indirect cooling-means, and an outlet tap. Paraffin crystals collect mainly at the bottom and form a layer through which the liquid portions of the mixture can be drawn off.

Abstract: 6193. Metropolitan Fare Register Co., and Bailey, A. March 12. Counters actuated by revolving mechanism. - An odometer which receives rotary movement from the wheel of the vehicle is provided with a worm gearing and ratchet driving - device adapted to transmit the forward movement of the vehicle to an eccentrically - mounted starwheel controlled by fixed pins and actuating the units wheel of the counting - mechanism. A spindle G<1> is rotated by flexible shafting from the wheel of the vehicle, and actuates a wormwheel g loosely mounted on a spindle e and having pawls pivoted thereto adapted to actuate in one direction a ratchet-wheel F fixed on the spindle e. The spindle carries an eccentric E on which is loosely mounted a star-wheel D adapted to engage teeth b<1> on the units wheel and having one of its teeth d<Î> shaped to engage between pins c<2> fixed on the casing. A complete rotation of the spindle e causes the star-wheel to advance the units wheel one step and at the same time prevents the wheels from being rotated backwards. The spindle b on which the counting-wheels are mounted are elongated to allow the wheels to be separated for the purposes of adjustment, and a spring b<2> surrounds the spindle and serves to keep the wheels in position. A depending projection a<2> on the cover prevents the casing from being closed or sealed unless the wheels are in their correct position.

Title: Improvements in Stamping and Embossing Devices.
Inventor: MALSCH JULIUS
IPC: B26B11/00
Filed: 1912-08-12
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 18,530. Malsch, J. Aug. 14, 1911, [Convention date]. Sealing.-A hand-stamp for sealing, embossing, &c. consists of a pivoted stamp or seal which normally is enclosed by a cover but which can be brought into operative position by moving a slide. The stamp is preferably combined with a flat article such as a pocket knife. As shown, a stamp m is pivoted to a slide l which can move in a slot in the casing of a pocket knife, and in its normal position, shown in Fig. 1, the stamp lies parallel with the plane of the knife blades and is closed by a cover c, which is fitted with an ink pad d, and may be provided with a closing-spring. To bring the stamp to the operative position shown in Fig. 2, a second slide g is pushed forward by means of a stud f; an inclined front of the slide g acts on a pin h to raise the cover e, and further movement of the slide g advances the slide l, and the stamp is turned about its pivot. The parts are returned to normal position by pushing back the slide g, which first of all turns the stamp m about its pivot. The cover e is returned to normal position by a pin i on the slide l acting on projections k of the cover. There is a lost motion between the slides g, l due to the motion of the pin p on the slide g in a slot in the slide l. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a modification in which the slides g and l are combined, and the pivotal motion of the stamp m is obtained by causing pivot lugs of the stamp to engage projections formed in the front end of the guides in which the slides g, l move. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 4842. Hambloch, A., and Gelleri, S. Feb. 25. Alkali carbonates and sulphates; ammonia.- Silicates containing alkalies, such as felspars, are burnt alone or with an alkaline earth or its carbonate, such as limestone, with or without the addition of a sulphate, such as alunite, and the product is heated under high pressure with ammonium carbonate. The mass is then extracted with water, a solution of alkali carbonate or sulphate being obtained. The residue may be burnt to produce a portland cement. The ammonia set free in the pressure treatment is reconverted into ammonia carbonate, for instance by the carbon dioxide liberated in the calcination, and used again. If crude alkali salts are required, the burnt silicate mixture is heated with carbonic acid instead of ammonium carbonate.

Abstract: 11,308. Wiseman, J. Sept. 12. Winding - machines; tension arrangements; driving - arrangements. -Cops or pirns are wound upon bare spindles by means of a faller wire d connected by arms to a shaft e oscillated by a bracket s, which is reciprocated by a heart cam f along a copping rail q, the position of which is adjusted to build the cop by means of a doubleinclined plate u, which is moved by screw and ratchet gearing w operated from the cam shaft. The spindles are driven from a shaft k, which, during the descent of the faller wire, is disconnected from its driving - clutch and braked so that a binding-layer is wound. The cam shaft is driven by belt gearing from a pulley h connected with the driving - pulley, which is loose on the shaft k and drives it through pins k<6> engaging with holes in a disk g secured to the driving- pulley and with similar holes in a disk k<4> fast on the shaft. When the faller wire reaches the top of the cop chase, a cam y on the cam shaft operates a slide z<1> which moves an arm z<3> to withdraw the clutch pins k<6> and engage a brake cone k<8> with a fixed cone k<9>, thus stopping the shaft k, which is connected by gearing with the tin rollers, until the faller wire has moved to the bottom of the chase, whereupon the clutch pins are again engaged and the brake released. In forming the cops, a few layers of yarn are first wound on the spindles and the machine stopped. The faller wire is then lowered the top roller is rotated by hand, and paste is applied to the wound yarn so that, when the paste is dry, a firm support is pro vided for the body of the cop. Before reaching the fallers, the yarn passes over a tension rod carried by balanced levers.
