Title: Manufacture and Production of New Anthracene Compounds.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: C09B1/28
Filed: 1910-11-12
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 26,336. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Nov. 12. Oxyalkylaminoanthraquinones and derivatives thereof are obtained by treating alpha-aminoanthraquinones or derivatives thereof with ethylene oxide or its homologues or derivatives such as propylene oxide or glycide. The products may be converted by sulphonation into wool dyes; when the products are derived from aminoanthraquinone sulphonic acids they are themselves wool dyes. According to an example, 1:4-diaminoanthraquinone is treated with ethylene oxide in presence of nitrobenzene and acetic acid, and the product is sulphonated, giving a blue dye. 1:5-Diaminoanthraquinone, 1-aminoanthraquinone, 1-amino-4-oxyanthraquinone, and p-diaminoanthrarufin disulphonic acid, are also specified as parent materials. Specification 11,930/09 is referred to.

Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 28,371. Lundin, B. Aug. 17, [Convention date]. Counters for checks, coins, &c.-Apparatus in which projections on a track convey the coins from a supply shoot to a counting-device is provided with two tracks placed side by side to carry different-sized coins, and is arranged with a longitudinal projection between them. As shown in Fig. 1, the coins project beyond the outer edges of the tracks 20, 21, and are limited in their lateral movement by the longitudinal projection 23 and the ledges 25. The coins, as they move along with the track, actuate a starwheel 26 which is connected to an ordinary counter. The different sizes of coins may be counted by means of a single track, in which case the track is divided by two longitudinal partitions, and is provided with adjustable stops placed opposite each tenth compartment or projection on each portion of the track. The stops are adapted to be brought one at a time into the operative position to actuate the counter. To enable a single shoot to be used for the two tracks, a rotatable flap 41 is provided therein, such that in one position it closes the smaller shoot while in the other position, shown in Fig. 4, it forms a partition and closes the larger shoot.

Granted: 1912-07-08
Abstract: 11,080. Hart, J. A. May 8. [Cognate .4pplication, 11,081/11.] Aspirating-apparatus, injector.-In apparatus for compressing gases by means of a stream of gas at high pressure, of the type in which the gas is compressed in stages, a portion of the compressed gas being led off at each stage to form an impelling stream for the previous stage, or to receive energy from the stream at the previous stage, the entering gases are introduced into the stream at a direction as nearly parallel to it as possible. The compressed gases can be utilized for driving turbines &c., in refrigerating-machines, in vacuum brakes, &c. Figs. 3 and 4 show two sections at right-angles of a form of apparatus designed to produce a small stream of gas at comparatively high pressure. The nozzles by which the impelling gases enter the stream are marked 19 and the branches by which the gases are withdrawn to form impelling streams for the previous stages are marked 18. The original impelling stream enters by the pipe 25. Part of the stream produced thereby issues through the orifice 56 and the remainder passes by the branch 17 to the second nozzle 19. The portions of gas detached at the different stages to form driving streams pass through the branches 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10. Gas issuing from the pipe 10 through the nozzle 20 draws atmospheric air into the pipe 1. Superfluous air passes out through the branch 29. Another form is described in which a small stream of air induces a large stream at low pressure, and a method is described of combining the two so as to produce an intermediate result. Fig. 6 is a cross-section of the apparatus showing the disposition of two consecutive passages 18. Fig. 13 shows an arrangement by which the exhaust from a gas-engine 31 passes to an injector apparatus 9 of the type described to compress the charge. In another form the injector is used to assist in drawing scavenging-air through the cylinder.

Dobbies.-In dobbies wherein two lag barrels are placed into and out of contact with the indicating-feelers by a third controlling-mechanism, the driving-lever d is provided with a catch e, which engages a catch-wheel b on the lengthened shaft a' of the lag barrel, so that the lag barrel may still be rotated when it is lowered into inoperative position. The shaft a' is, in addition, driven. in the usual manner when its lag barrel is in operative position. The shaft a' is provided with a chain-wheel carrying a chain having cam-links f and plain links f', so that, when a cam-link is presented in position, it acts on a projection e<1> on the catch e and raises the catch out of action, the shaft a' and its lag barrel then remaining stationary. A pegged lag chain may replace the chain f, f<1>. The arrangement for rotating the barrel when in inoperative position may be applied to either the inside or the outside lag barrel. By means of cords h<4>, h<2> and levers h<3>, h, the weaver can raise the catch e out of action, to enable the lag barrel to be reversed if required.

Abstract: 8015. Lyall, W. A., and Davis, H. April 3. Anemometers.-A cylindrical casing a with an entrance opening a<2> is formed with peripheral ports c, through which the air escapes after encountering the vanes d of a wheel which is mounted on a shaft c and rotated by the air against the action of a spiral spring n, a pointer g being mounted on the end of the shaft c. A cone is fitted inside the casing a to guide the air to the ports c. A cone-shaped ring d<1> is fitted outside the casing so as to be capable of being slidden over the ports c to reduce their area and thus increase the range of the instrument. The range may also be varied by means for altering the pitch of the wheel-vanes. A magnetic damping - device consists of a ferrotype disk i with its periphery between the poles of a permanent magnet j. Another damping- device shown in Figs. 3 and 4 comprises a hollow casting o rotating with the spindle e and having within it two ribs q. A movable diaphragm r is freely pivoted within the casting o. The relative movements of the casting and the movable diaphragm produce movements of air through the narrow clearances.
