Title: Manufacture of New Derivatives of Isovaleramide.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1901-06-28
Granted: 1902-05-01
Abstract: 13,205. Imray, O., [Liebrecht, A.]. June 28. Medicinal preparations.-Dialkylated amides of isovaleric and bromisovaleric acids, which have therapeutic properties, are produced by acting with secondary amines upon isovaleric acid, its anbydride, ester, amide, or acid chloride, or the corresponding derivatives of bromisovaleric acid, or upon ordinary officinal valerianic acid. For example, isovalerdiethyl-amide, which has an odour like that of peppermint, and distils over at 205‹- 208‹ C., is produced by heating isovalerate of diethylamine for 6 hours at 230‹ C. in a closed vessel. The product is treated with sodium carbonate and shaken with ether, and after evaporating the ethereal solution the residue is distilled. In another example, bromisovalerdiethylamide is produced by dropping bromisovalerylbromide into cooled diethylamine.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Pneumatic Tyres for Cycles, Motor Cars and other Vehicles.
Inventor: MITCHELL FRANK
Filed: 1901-12-24
Granted: 1902-12-18
Abstract: 26,331. Mitchell, F. Dec. 24. Building wheels; tyres, pneumatic; felloea or rims.-Relates to pneumatic tyres of the type shown in Fig. 5, in which the whole internal space is filled with small airtight rubber or rubber - and - fabric chambers a containing air under pressure, so that, when one chamber becomes punctured, the others expand to fill up the space. The chambers are arranged in sets, and each set is contained in a closed cylindrical bag f, preferably composed of canvas cut on the bias, the bags being placed end to end within a cover g of any ordinary form. To arrange the chambers within the bag, the bag, with one end closed and the other open, is suspended within the apparatus c shown in Fig. 4, and the chambers a, after being hermetically sealed when filled with air at about atmospheric pressure, are placed in the bag with a weight e' on top. Air is then pumped in through the pump d, until the chambers are compressed into the bag sufficiently to allow its sides to be first pressed together by screwing in the screw c', and afterwards made fast to one another. To allow the filled bags to be inserted easily into the tyre, the main part j, Fig. 7, of the rim has a recess J<1> into which fits a rib J<4> on a detachable split part j<3>, and, after the bags have been placed within the tyre and the split part of the rim has been sprung into position on the main part, the ends of the split part are hooked or otherwise locked together. In modifications, the chambers may be first enclosed in a light canvas bag, which is drawn under pressure into a smaller stronger bag ; the canvas bags may be in the form of a continuous tube ; the bags may be inserted in the ordinary air tube, which may have an ordinary inflating-valve; the bags may be placed between the ordinary air tube k, Fig. 11, and the outer cover g, and the air tube may be inflated. According to the Provisional Specification, the apparatus for compressing the chambers communicates, through a tube and a hole in the rim, with an airtight tube in the tyre, and the chambers under pressure are forced from the compressing-apparatus along the tube into position, the tube in the tyre and the hole in the rim being finally closed.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Supplying Aerated Liquids.
Filed: 1902-01-09
Granted: 1903-01-08
Abstract: 600. Idris, T. H. W., and Idris & Co. Jan. 9. Measured quantities, delivering.-Relates to apparatus for drawing off aerated liquids, in which the seating of a valve, which controls the supply of the liquid, is withdrawn from the valve to open it, the same movement also closing the snifting- openings for the escape of gas from the liquid. Fig. 2 shows the invention in connection with an intermediate measuring-vessel G, the discharge from which is controlled by a separate valve J. The cylinder M, which contains the main valve Q and its seating, is raised and lowered by a screw E. The valve J can slide for a short distance on the end of the hollow spindle H, being pressed down by a spring. The snifting is controlled by a valve P, which is raised to a certain point by the spring V. The handle C being turned, the valve J is first closed ; then the valve P is closed, and finally the valve Q is opened, as shown. The liquid then flows into the intermediate vessel through the openings R, S in the hollow spindle H, until an equilibrium of pressure is established. The reversal of the handle C then successively closes the valve Q, opens the valve P,_and opens the valve J. Fig. 3 shows another modification similar to that shown in Fig. 2. except that it is operated by a togglelink 0, Fig. 4, to depress the cylinder E, and that there is no separate snifting valve, but the snifting opening M is closed by the lower part of the cylinder E.

Abstract: 26,584. Bentley, W. Dec. 2. Motor road vehicles.-As shown in plan in Fig. 1, the front steering-axle is divided into two parts b, each capable of turning about a vertical pivot c and supported at the inner ends on guides d carried by the vehicle. The axles are adjusted by a lever f, which may be operated either directly or through gearing. Accompanying this steering-gear, there may be means for unclutching the rear wheel on the inside of the curve automatically when the front steering - wheels are deflected. For this purpose, rods o, o are connected to the ends of the lever f, which rods have at their hinder ends, as shown in Fig. 3, forks with cam-shaped projections p capable of acting on the clutch levers n pivoted at u, as shown in Fig. 2.

Title: A Process of and Apparatus for the Generation of Electric Energy.
Inventor: KEYZER HERMAN JACOB
Filed: 1904-02-16
Granted: 1904-04-21
Abstract: 3913. Ke zer, H. J. Feb. 16. Primary batteries.-Consists in a process for obtaining electrical energy direct from carbon, preferably in the form of gases containing hydrocarbons. A vessel a, Fig. 1, preferably of iron, with partitions b, also of iron, in conducting connection with the vessel, carries a series of verticallyrecessed electrodes d, preferably of carbon, the flanged heads of which are all in contact. A support o of insulating-material carries a porous plate c, although if this is of porceiain, the support o may be dispensed with, and a ring of lead e is cast on this plate to clamp all the carbon electrodes, the ring being connected to a terminal p. A ring of fibre f, or other insulating-material, rests on the lead and carries an airtight cover g, which avoids the formation of sparks and the danger of explosion. An electrolyte consisting of a saturated solution of potassium or sodium hydrate or carbonate, or of earth alkalies, with a quantity of a metallic salt, preferably ferrous or ferric chloride, is fed by a tube k to the electrodes d by way of communications v. A gas, such as Dowson gas, or other gas containing carbon as hydrocarbons, such as that from anthracite or other coal, mixed with air or oxygen up to about 95 per cent., is admitted to the recessed electrodes d under a pressure of 3-12 cms. of mercury by way of a pipe h, the entering gas being sufficiently hot to boil the alkali solution, and so render any special heating of the electrolyte unnecessary. The vapours resulting are carried off by a pipe m, and condensed steam is returned into a funnel n which supplies electrolyte.
