Abstract: 15,138. Farbwerke vorm. L. Durand, Huguenin, & Co. Nov. 19, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dyes, artificial.-The condensation of gallocyanines with aromatic monamines is effected in presence of an aromatic nitrohydrocarbon. According to examples, the gallocyanine from nitrosodimethylaniline and gallic acid is condensed with aniline in presence of nitrobenzene, the gallocyanine from nitrosodiethylaniline and gallamic acid is condensed with p-toluidine in presence of dinitrobenzene, and the gallocyanine from nitrosodimethylaniline and gallamic acid is condensed with aniline in presence of trinitronaphthalene. Specification No. 21,949, A.D. 1906, is referred to. Trinitronaphthalene for use in the process is made by heating mononitronaphthalene with nitric and sulphuric acids.

Title: Improvements in Extensible Picture Frames
Inventor: WATT JAMES ANDREW
Filed: 1907-07-04
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 15,443. Watt, J. A., and Watt, A. W. July 4. Picture frames.-An extensible picture frame, which may be used for temporarily mounting a canvas in order that the effect may be observed, consists of four rails 2 connected by permanent mitre joints 3 and each divided into two sections 4, 5 of equal length. The rails slide in sheaths 6 preferably formed of light sheet metal and shaped so as to conform to the moulding of the rails. Grooves 7 in the rails contain guide-bars 8 on each of which is pivoted a pinion 10 gearing with rackbars 14, 15, which are secured by screws 20 to the two sections of each rail. The sheaths 6 are secured to corner-plates 24 at the back of the frame, the plates 24 being connected to the guide-bars 8 by bolts 23. , Thus, when the frame is extended, the sheaths 6 always occupy, a central position, and cover the ends of the two sections of each rail. The frame is clamped in its extended position by means of winged nuts 25 on the bolts 23. To the back of the frame are secured corner-plates 21 which cover the ends of the rack-bars 14, 15. On the inner sides of the rails are provided projecting metal strips 27, around which the sheaths 6 are bent and against which the edges of the picture rest. The picture may be held in position by turn-buttons 28.

Title: Improvements relating to Electrical Switches and the like
Inventor: MORRIS DAVID KING
IPC: H01H9/38

Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 21,938. Morris, D. K., and Lister, G. A. Oct. 4 Switches; cut-outs.-In switches of the type in which automatic cut-out is effected, in the event of an overload or falling of the current below a predetermined value, by the operation of a thermal element, two contacts a, mounted on a switch arm b, are connected by means of a pair of conducting elastic strips g, rigidly secured to the contactpieces and provided with catches h. The catches are adapted to engage grooves in the catch j on the screwed stem i, which is secured to the back plate d of the switch. The catch and stem may be slotted, as shown, and the two halves slightly separated to permit of the adjustment of the distance between the grooved edges by a nut k. The operating-handle e may be fixed to the contact arm, or may act independently as shown, a projection f or any other suitable provision being made to effect the required connexion between the two parts for opening or closing the switch. A spring is provided for breaking the circuit quickly. The switch is closed by the abutment of a projection m against the pieces A. In the event of an overload, the strips expand laterally and release the catch, thus allowing the switch arm to open under the influence of its spring. When the switch is of the loose-handle type, the strips expand enough to clear the abutment piece m on the handle. In the device shown in Fig. 5, the front end of the catch j is provided with a tapered recess j<1>, and the abutment piece is slotted and formed with a tapered extremity m<1>, which, on the switch being closed, is pressed into the recess j<1>, thus diminishing the breadth of contact with the pieces h of the strips. To prevent any undue heating of the contacts, they may be provided with suitable radiating surfaces; or, the thermal strips may be jacketed so that a minimum generation of heat may produce the required rise of temperature.

Patent GB-190816299-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Voltage Regulators.
Filed: 1908-07-31
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 16,299. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. July 31. Regulating; switches.-A field rheostat is divided into equal sections, each controlled by a relay, and the relays are governed by a main control magnet. The switch arms 6<a>, 6<b>, 6<c> are controlled by springs 8 so that they normally short-circuit the sections a, b, c of the field rheostat 5. The switch arms are operated by electro-magnets with differential windings. One set of windings 10 is permanently connected across the mains, and the other set 12 is connected to the mains through a switch arm 15. The switch arm 15 is controlled by two coils 18, 21 and a movable armature 37, Fig. 4. The winding 18 is connected across the mains, and the winding 21 is connected in parallel with an adjustable resistance 24. The latter circuit includes an adjustable resistance 22. If the line potential rises, the coil 18 operates the switch 15, which opens the circuit of the windings 12, thus permitting the relays to operate under the action of the windings 10. The switches 6<a>, 6<b>, 6<c> then cut out the resistance sections a, b, c simultaneously or successively. The action of the current in the coil 18 is modified by the current in the coil 21. The adjustable resistance 24 consists of a strip 25, Fig. 2, preferably bent to a zigzag shape and provided with terminal clips 26. A slotted contactpin 29 slides over the strip, to vary the effective length between the conductors 31, 32, and to regulate the current in the coil 21. The coils 18, 21 of the main control magnet, Fig. 4, are shown as two concentric windings, and the free end of the switch arm 15 is connected to a spring 17 which can be adjusted by a screw 34. The arm 15 carries a contact-screw 35, and the stud 36 supports a stationary flexible contact. The lower core 39 is adjustable on a screw 40, and the movable core 37 is provided with a copper sheath 38 to introduce a damping effect.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Indicating and Stopping Leakage from Gas Pipes.
Inventor: SCHMIDT LUDWIG
IPC: G01N7/10
Filed: 1909-03-04
Granted: 1910-03-04
Abstract: 5301. Schmidt, L., and Schmidt, H. March 4. Indicating and locating leaks. - Relates to apparatus for use in connexion with gas pipes by means of which, when the pressure is reduced due to leakage, a signal is given and the gas supply is shut off, either by a float or a spring valve actuated by an electric contact device in direct connexion with the supply pipe. The signalling and cutting-off apparatus are also capable of being operated by the escaped gases by means of apparatus depending on diffusion, occlusion, or catalysis. A spring device for shutting off the gas is shown in Fig. 2. The closing of the pipe 6 is effected by the energising of the magnet 25 which releases the pawl 44 and allows the valve 39 to close the pipe 6. In connexion with the apparatus shown in Fig. 2 is a manometer 28, so that on reduction of gas pressure mercury rises in the manometer, closes an electric circuit, operates the signal 30, rings the bell 31, and closes the valve. These operations may in addition be effected in a similar manner by the diffusion cell 34 and manometer 32, or by an occlusion or catalytic device. The occlusion device comprises a palladium wire 47, Fig. 4, which in contact with the escaped gases increases its length, and allows the lever 48 to touch the adjustable screw 50 and close the circuit. The catalytic device consists of a hollow ring 52, Fig. 5, containing mercury and covered with the catalytic agent which becomes heated on contact with the gases. A pipe 54 and receptacle 55 are in connexion with this ring, and when the ring is heated, the mercury is driven into the tube 54 and closes the circuit.
