Title: Manufacture of Azo Dyes.
IPC: C09B35/02
Filed: 1912-11-11
Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 25,866. Anilinfarben & Extract-Fabriken vorm. J. R. Geigy. Feb. 1, [Convention date]. Azo dyes containing one or two molecules of a monatomic phenol or a substitution product thereof (other than a hydroxy derivative) as components are converted into arylsulphonic esters by treatment with an arylsuiphochloride; the fastness to alkali of the dyes is thereby increased; in the case of wool dyes and of some cotton dyes their affinity for the fibre remains, while the majority of cotton dyes lose their affinity for cotton and become suitable for dyeing wool or silk. The following dyes are specified as parent materials: -monoazo dyes from: p-aminodiphenylamine sulphonic acid and phenol; sulphanilic acid and m-oxydiphenylamine; disazo dyes from benzidine, phenol, and 2-naphthylamine-3:6-disulphonic acid, 1-naphthol-3:6-disulphonic acid, or 2-naphthol-6 : 8- disulphonic acid; benzidine, o- or p-cresol, and 2-naphthylamine-3 6-disulphonic acid ; benzidine, m-cresol, and S-naphthol-6 :8-disulphonic acid; m-tolidine, phenol, and 1-naphthol-3:6- disulphonic acid or 1-p-sulphophenyl-3-methyl- 5-pyrazolone; benzidine monosnlphonic acid, phenol, and 1-p-sulphophenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone; diaminostilbenedisulphonic acid and phenol; the sulphochlorides of benzene, ptoluene, p-chlorbenzene, m-nitrobenzene, and naphthalene-#-sulphochloride. are specified as arylsulphochlorides. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) mentions also the disazo dye from p-phenylenediamine, phenol, and 1:8:3:6- aminonaphthol disulphonic acid, and the trisazo dye from p-phenylenediamine, phenol, 1:8.3:6-aminonaphthol disulphonic acid (acid combination), and aniline (alkaline combination), as parent materials. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Azostilbene dyes.-The above-described process may be applied to the dye arnica yellow (obtained by condensing p-nitrotoluenesulphonic acid with p-aminophenol by means of caustic alkali).

Abstract: 7686. Graham, E. A. April 1. Plates and the like, travelling.-Relates to apparatus of the type described in Specification 20,884/10, in which intermittently-displayed sheets are twice inverted and twice transferred from the back to the front of the case for each display. The transference is effected by devices which are intermittently clutched to a continuously rotating friction-roller a. Pairs of arms with channelled fingers v, w are attached to a loose spindle k provided with a spring-urged clutch for engaging a projection j at the end of the roller a. Gearing ensures the continuous drive of a pinion 15, having a cam 14, which is adapted to strike the end of a lever 11 so as to unlock the piece 13, and allow the clutch j, k to lock. A spring urges the lever-end 10 into engagement with the piece 13 and its wedgeshape causes the withdrawal of the bolt k. The shape of the wedge may be such as to throw up the lever 10 after one revolution of the drum a in conjunction with the shaft k. In operation, the ultimate and penultimate posters b are raised by engagement of their upper rods with channelled fingers v, w, and the posters are carried between the roller a and press-rollers 31. The lower rod of the ultimate poster slides along a lever 4 on to a ledge formed by the lever 2, and the poster is inverted in the display position while the lever 2 is urged towards the front of the apparatus. The clutch k is disengaged and the means for moving the posters is stopped for a short time. Afterwards, the next poster passes with its hindmost rod into the guideway z. A cam, driven by the spindle c. inclines the lever 2 still nearer to the front of the apparatus and causes the rod x<1> to be moved into the guideway z. A cam-controlled switch causes the apparatus to be illuminated only while the displayed poster is stationary.

Vehicle-window opening and closing apparatus. - Relates to operating - apparatus for sliding sashes in which the sash, when in the raised position, is moved inwards or outwards over the weather-rail, when the sash is being opened or closed respectively. When the sash 18<a> is raised, pins 20 thereon engage wedges 18 slidably mounted on the window frame and force the sash outwards over the weather rail until the pins 20 engage notches 19 in the wedges 18. If the sash is then slightly lowered, the pins 20 drag down the wedges 18 against the action of springs 22 until the rabbets on the lower rail of the sash and on the weather rail come into engagement. During this movement, the wedges are stopped by the abutments 23 which cause the disengagement of the pins 20 and notches 19, so that the wedgesreturn to their original position under the. action of the springs 22. If the sash is now slightly raised, springs 17 force the sash inwards into its proper position for being lowered. The sash is raised and lowered by an endless chain 4 secured to the lower rail of the sash and passing over chainwheels 5, 12. The wheel 12 is carried by a spindle 11 which passes through a ratchet-wheel 6 fixed in a casing 8, the cover 10 of which is rotatable and is fixed to the spindle 11. The cover 10 is provided with a handle 9, and carries a spring pawl 7 which is released by a bellcrank 16 operated by a spring press-button 14 housed in the handle 9.

After this treatment, the material may be washed and dried. Fixing may be accelerated by raising the temperature. Advantage may be taken of the heat of chemical action caused by the treatment of a large mass of material. Where steam is used, the gas may also be heated separately. Raw cotton, wood, closely woven fabrics, and substances not easily permeable may have the liquid and gas forced or drawn through in any known suitable way. In treating flannelette, sodium aluminate solutions 35-45‹ Tw. may be used followed by 50 per cent carbon dioxide at 80‹ C., or by steam and sulphur dioxide as required. According to the Provisional Specification, sulphuretted hydrogen may be used. Specification 17,814/13 also is referred to.
