Abstract: 17,003. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Aug. 3. Pyrimidines.- Relates to the preparation of 2-thio-, or oxy-, 4 6-imino- or oxy-pyrimidines and their 5-mono- or dialkyl derivatives. Malonitrile or its alkyl derivatives is condensed with thiourea by means of alkaline condensing agents, such as alkali alcoholates or amides, 2-thio-4 : 6- diiminopyrimidine or its 5-alkylated derivatives being produced. By saponifying-agents, such as sulphuric acid, the imino groups are replaced by oxy groups, and by oxidizing-agents, such as nitric or nitrous acid, the thio group may then be replaced by oxygen. These operations may be performed in reverse order, barbituric acid being obtained as the final product in either case. The intermediate product in the former case is a 2-thio-4 : 6-dioxypyrimidine, and in the latter case a 2-oxy-4 6-diiminopyrimidine.

Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 28,232. Hoare, F. H. Dec. 23. War games.-A military war game is played on a board or other surface, marked with squares, with a number of pieces of wood, cardboard, &c. shaped to stand on edge, each representing three ramparts of a fortification, behind which are placed other pieces representing infantry. In addition, there are discs to represent the "general staff," and other discs to represent cavalry. Each player is provided with a toy gun, and the game is played by moving the different pieces from square to square until the guns are within a certain number of squares of the forts &c., when they are discharged, either simultaneously or alternately. The bombardment continues until a certain number of men are down, or until a halt is called for moves to be made, the ultimate object of the game being to put all the opponent's forts and men out of action, or to capture his " general staff." The rules provide for the moving of the cavalry at twice the rate of the infantry at certain times, and for rebuilding the forts or replacing men when certain advantages are won. Rivers, bridges, hills, &c. may be marked on the board, and further regulations for negotiating them may be arranged between the players. The nomenclature of the parts may be such as to make the game illustrate a naval engagement.

Abstract: 1156. Kunz, O. Jan. 20. Dyeing.-In a machine for dyeing hanks, particularly silk yarns, means are provided for agitating the skeins and extending them so that tangling is avoided. In order to place the skins over the rollers a, which rotate alternately in opposite directions, the hand wheel y is rotated so that pinions e, meshing with the racks z on the fixed pillars l, raise the bracket carrying the rollers a. At the same time, the rotation of rollers v on the same shaft x, winding up the cords t, raises the rail s on the pillars l more rapidly, so that, the tappets m engaging with the tappets m', the bars e, which run between rollers j, k, are lifted and, while the whole device is lifted clear of the vat f, the rods b approach the rollers a. The skeins are then placed over the rollers a and rods b and the wheel y reversed, so that, the device descending, the skeins enter the dye bath as shown, the weight of the rods b exerting the necessary tension. The machine is then started, the skeins being oscillated at the same time by means of the eccentric o and link p engaging the pin r. The lateral swing is shown by the dotted lines. After dyeing, the apparatus is again lifted and fresh skeins substituted.

Title: Improvements in Trippers for Conveyors.
Inventor: ROBINS THOMAS
Filed: 1905-05-22
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 10,690. Robins, T., and Baldwin, C. K. May 22. Conveyers; shoots. - Relates to discharging- devices for band conveyers, and comprises means whereby an intermittent discharge, or an automatic delivery at predetermined points, may be obtained independently of the operation of the conveyer. The endless band C passes round pulleys D, E on a carriage A running on rails B and carrying a hopper F leading into shoots G, on each side of the conveyer belt, delivering into openings K in troughs J. These troughs close the ends of the shoots during the travel of the carriage and, by storing the delivered material in the shoots, obviate the stoppage of the carrier band. In a modification this storage is effected by closing the lower ends of the shoots by means of guide-rails and hinged doors as shown in Fig. 4. The carriage is driven in either direction by bevel-wheels b, c and worm gearing from the pulley E. The lever j engages adjustable stops l fixed on the rails B and causes a clutch member i to be put into contact with either of the bevel-wheels b, c, so as to obtain a reversible motion. When the stop m engages the fork n the clutch member is held in an inoperative position. Specification No. 26,341, A.D. 1903, is referred to.

Title: Mechanical Contrivance for Preventing the Skidding of Motor Cars.
Inventor: STERNE EMILE
Filed: 1905-06-07
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 11,965. SternÚ, E. June 10, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to means for preventing skidding of motor-cars when the motion of the vehicle is checked or its direction abruptly changed. Fig. 3 shows a plan of the arrangement in which toothed sectors i, fixed to the swivelling axles, concentrically with the pivots d, are engaged by pinions n loosely mounted on axes carried by brackets j fixed to the frame or to the top parts of the springs g. The direction of the axes is such that they would, if prolonged, cross each other at a point in the middle of the rear axle. The effect of changing the direction of the vehicle abruptly, or of checking its motion when the weight is not symmetrically divided over the two sides of the longitudinal axis of the car, is to incline the frame relatively to the front axle, so that the pinion on the side depressed binds in its sector, thereby locking the steering - wheels against steering movements, so as to prevent side-slipping.

Abstract: 24,986. Evans, J., Evans, W., and Evans, J. O., [trading as Evans & Sons, J.], and Brindley, J. Dec. 2. Plunger pumps; actuating - mechanism; pump stroke, varying suction reservoirs.-In high-speed multiple-plunger pumps, the plungers 1 are actuated by means of a swashplate mechanism 13 from an electric or like motor 33. The angle of tilt of the swash plate, and therefore the stroke of the pump, can be varied while the pump is in motion by raising or lowering a rod 32, which is connected at its lower end to a link 26 attached to a sliding block 24 to which the shaft 14 is pivoted. The rod 32, which passes through a hole in the centre of the driving-shaft, rotates with the mechanism and is connected by a ball-bearing coupling 34 to the external actuating - levers shown. The shaft 14 is balanced by a weight attached to a block 25 similar to the block 24 on the opposite side of the axis. In order to prevent the pump barrel from drying out, the suction pipe 10 is arranged to open at the level of the delivery valves 5, and a vacuum chamber 9 is placed above it. The actuating - mechanism is enclosed in a casing 44, which may contain lubricant, and three small pumps 47 are provided, one for pumping oil over the moving parts, one for exhausting air from the suction chamber 9, and the other for compressing air for the air vessel. In some cases, the shaft 14 may be rigidly attached to the swash plate 13, in which case the plungers would be actuated by cam-surfaces, or the shaft may be kept vertical and the disk attached at an angle.

In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the end of the bag is provided with a cloth &c. strip X which extends across the two side flaps B when the end of the bag is opened out to form the well-known diamond fold. The closing of the end of the bag is completed by folding the side flaps B about the lines B' and the end flaps C about the lines C'. The strip X then forms a flattened tube which tends to close under internal pressure but allows a filling - tube D, Fig. 3, to be inserted. The filling-tube may have ribs D<1> to facilitate the escape of the air which is forced through the fabric X as the bag is filled. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, which shows a finished bag before it has been turned inside-out, the strip X of cloth. is omitted, the self-closing aperture being formed by turning inwards a corner E before the seam G is made. To avoid waste of material due to the large overlap H, either of the arrangements shown in Figs. 7 and 8 or Figs. 9 and 10 may be adopted. Figs. 5 and 6 show a modified bag which is particularly applicable for containing cement. In this case, the self-closing opening is formed by a piece F sewn to the bag.
