Granted: 1915-06-10
Abstract: 16,905. Knoll & Co. Aug. 1, 1912, [Convention date]. Carboxylates. - Acidyl-celluloses soluble in acetone are prepared by heating the corresponding insoluble esters with glacial acetic acid and in the absence of acetic anhydride or water. Catalysts may be present, and it is preferred to carry out the process in the presence of suitable organic materials, such as aloohol, glycerine, acetines, and oxy-acid esters', and these added substances may serve as filling materials for the product. When starting with the primary acidylating-solutions containing acetic anhydride, the latter is removed according to the present process by the addition of a suitable substance other than water, such as alcohol or glycerine. In examples, the finished acetate is heated with glacial acetic acid, with or without the addition of methylamine sulphate, or alcohol or monacetine ; the primary acetylating-solution containing a mildly-acting catalyst, such as a mixture of methylamine bisulphate and sulphate, or the latter alone, or sodium ethyl sulphate is heated after the addition of alcohol or glycerine; the primary acetylating prepared with the aid' of sulphuric acid as catalyst is treated with potassium acetate, and heated after the addition of alcohol or glycerine.

Abstract: 15,389. Vickers, and Pratt, H. B. June 26. Anchoring. - In mooring-apparatus for air-ships in which the mooring- cable is attached to the nose of the air-ship, the pull is transmitted direct to the parallel part of the air-ship frame by cords which pass over pulleys on the tapered part of the air-ship frame, so as to prevent a tensile force in the curved longitudinal frames from being produced. The tension cords d, Fig. 1, pass over pulleys e on the curved part of the air-ship frame and are connected to a sleeve a which can slide within a fixed tube b in the framework. The pull of the mooring-cable c is transmitted to the sleeve a and the cords d through two springs f, g, between which is a piston-like member l. The springs are contained in tubes h, i coupled together by a nut j and supported by cords o. The spring f bears upon a seating h<1>, which fits against a flange a<1> within the sleeve a.

Title: Improvements in Flushing Valves.
Inventor: CHESWRIGHT LEONARD KEITH
IPC: E03D3/04
Filed: 1914-06-29
Granted: 1915-06-29
Abstract: 15,502. Cheswright, L. K. June 29. Valves closing after predetermined interval or flow.-Relates to flushing-valves of the kind in which the closing of the valve controlling the discharge is effected by the leakage of water into a chamber containing a piston which is connected by a spindle with the valve. According to the present invention, the spindle 9 connecting the piston 15 and the discharge valve 10 is made water-tight in the partition 8 by a stuffing-box 21, and a flap valve 7 controls the passage of water from the chamber 5 to the chamber 2 when the valve 10 is opened by depressing the plunger or head 14 on the top of the spindle 9. For adjusting the gland 20 of the stuffing-box, the spindle 9 is provided with a washer 25 having projections 26 adapted to engage slots in the top of the gland. By depressing the plunger 14 sufficiently and then rotating it, the gland can be tightened or loosened. The plunger 14 is preferably made detachable from the spindle, which is then formed with flats to receive a suitable tool for depressing and turning the spindle. A stuffing- box may be fitted around the plunger 14. For dealing with water which may leak past the piston 15, the spindle 9 is made hollow with radial openings 27, Fig. 4, at the top and is fitted at the lower end with a check valve 31 which allows the water to pass into the space below the valve 10. The water for returning the piston 15 to its normal position passes from the chamber 2 to the chamber 5 through ducts 16, 17 controlled by a set-screw 18, the duct 16 being of larger diameter than the duct 17. The valve 10 preferably consists of a shallow cup filled with more or less compressible material 12 which engages the raised seat 13.
