Title: Manufacture and Production of New Dyestuffs of the Oxazine Series and of New Leuco Compounds.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: C09B19/00
Filed: 1910-08-29
Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 20,096. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Aug. 29. Samples furnished. Oxazines are obtained by condensing p-nitrosophenol or its homologues, quinonechlorimide or p-oxyazo compounds obtained from phenol and its homologues, for instance, benzeneazophenol, with pyrogallol derivatives, such as gallic acid and its esters, amide, or anilide, or pyrogallol sulphonic acid, or by oxidizing a mixture of p-aminophenol or its homologues and the pyrogallol derivatives in molecular proportions. According to examples, nitrosophenol is condensed with gallamic acid in presence of concentrated sulphuric acid, and quinone chlorimide is condensed similarly with gallic acid. These products give reddish-violet shades with chrome mordants. Reducing-agents, such as hydrosulphites, convert the dyes into their leuco compounds. The Provisional Specification refers also to the use of substitution derivatives of pnitrosophenol, and to derivatives of p-aminophenol.
Patent GB-191022702-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Money Changing and Coin Issuing Machines.
Filed: 1910-09-30
Granted: 1911-10-30
Abstract: 22,702. Union Special - Maschinenfabrik Ges. Feb. 21, [Convention date]. Cash registers with operating-means; differential mechanism; keyboards.-A key-set leveroperated money-changing and coin-issuing machine, in which the keys are arranged in echelon, is provided with key-bars having projections arranged at one or both ends thereof and differentially disposed in order that the required digit or digits may be transmitted to the drum-indicators according to the key-bar depressed. At the completion of a registration, a cross-bar is actuated to return the parts to the norml position; the bar is then uncoupled to allow it to return to its initial position under the action of a spring. A key-bar, when depressed by its key, lifts a pawl 15 out of a notch 16 in a segment-lever 6, which is thereupon rocked by a spring until the bar 4 thereon engages the projection 3 of the depressed key-bar. The lever 6 at the same time actuates a segment 7, which in turn communicates its movement to drum indicators 11. When the amount of a transaction has been registered, a shaft 18 is rocked, and is adapted to pull a rack-bar 20 to the left in Fig. 1. During this movement, the rack-bar is held out of engagement with a segment 24 by means of a nose 28 on the bar passing over the top of a projection 23 on the casing. The rack-bar, in its lowest position, is rocked about its pivot by means of a spring 22 which has its point of application displaced relatively to the pivot, so that on the return movement of the rack-bar, the nose passes under the projection and the bar actuates the segment 24 and a cross-bar 38 connected therewith to return the parts to the normal position. As soon as the rack-bar is brought out of engagement with the segment 24, a spring 26 returns the cross-bar to its initial position. In a modification, the key-bars are provided with projections at both ends, and are adapted to actuate the units and tens segments of the indicating-wheels. In this case ninety-nine keys are provided, and all the projections at one end of a series of key-bars are in alinement, while at the other end they range by steps from 0 to 9.
