Abstract: 25,457. Bloxam, A. G., [Akt.-Ges. f³r Anilin-Fabrikation]. Nov. 15. Sulphuretted dyes are obtained by heating a 4-oxydiarylamine or a substitution derivative thereof (not containing nitrogen or a free hydroxyl group in the 4'-position and not containing a sulphonic group, and with the exception of the condensation product from 1 :4-dichlor-2: 6-dinitrobenzene and p-aminophenol) with sulphur in presence of a condensing-agent such as aluminium chloride, iodine, or a hydrohalogen acid or agents producing such acid, or by heating these bodies (except 4-oxydiphenylamine) with sulphur alone, or by heating these bodies with an alkali polysulphide. Solvents or diluents or catalysts may be employed, and the process may be performed under pressure. According to examples, p-oxydiphenylamine is heated with sulphur and aluminium chloride, or with sodium polysulphide; p-oxy-p<1>-methoxydiphenylamine is heated with sodium polysulphide; p-oxyphenyl-m-naphthylamine is heated with sulphur and aluminium chloride, with sulphur alone, or with sodium polysulphide. Products dyeing cotton in an alkali sulphide bath brown-red, red-brown, violet-brown, violet, violet-black, blue-black, blue-grey, violet-grey, and blue tints are thus produced. p-Oxy-p'- methyl-, p-oxy-p<1>-ethoxy, and p-oxy-p<1>-chlordiphenylamine, and p-oxyphenyl- #-naphthylamine, are also specified as parent materials.

Title: Integrator Receptor of Hertzian Waves with "Telebolometer" and Rythmograph.
Filed: 1911-12-19
Granted: 1900-01-01
Abstract: 28,635. Ducasson & Co., E. Dec. 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Bearings and distances, determining wirelessly.-A wireless ship or other station estimates its distance from another transmitting- station, which sends characteristic signals of constant intensity, by measuring the amount of energy received by means of a bolometer and galvanometer. The transmitting-station is identified by measuring the duration of the signals and the time-interval between them. For this purpose, a relay in the detector circuit controls a pair of chronometers M, N, Fig. 2. When a signal is being received, the magnet J releases the chronometer M, and when the signal ceases, a spring raises the armature, which causes a wooden piston, partially immersed in mercury, to raise the level of the mercury until it closes a circuit through the magnet K, which attracts the armature and releases the chronometer N. The two chronometers thus indicate the length of the signals and the interval between them. In order to vary the sensitiveness of the bolometer and galvanometer, change-over switches are provided so that the bolometer can be connected to the aerial circuit directly or inductively, or so that it can be shunted by a resistance, or so that a condenser can be inserted in the aerial circuit to throw it out of tune with the received waves. The galvanometer may be provided with a series of scales suitable for the different connexions of the bolometer. Fig. 3 shows a suitable switch for connecting the bolometer to the aerial inductively or directly, a bipolar change-over switch a being mounted on the same base as a single bridging-bar switch b, so that three different connexions can be established according to the positions of the two switches,

Abstract: 3873. Matthews, F. E., Strange, E. H., and Bliss, H. J. W. Feb. 15. Butadiene and homologues thereof; olefine halogenhydrins; caoutchoue substances.-Butadiene and homologues thereof are prepared by the removal of two molecular proportions of water from primary or secondary glycols, or from mixtures of both or from primarysecondary glycols. The process may he carried out directly by heating the glycol with or without a catalyst, or by the action of a dehydrating-agent such as potassium bisulphate, phosphoric acid, or an acid salt thereof, with or without heating. Indirectly, the water may be removed by subjecting the glycol to the action of two molecular proportions of hydrochloric acid, and, according to the Provisional Specification, also hydrobromic acid, and subsequently removing two molecular proportions thereof by the action of alcoholic potash, diethylaniline, soda-lime, &c. Suitable glycols are 1:4-, 2:3-, and 1:3-butylene glycols, and 3:4-hexylene glycol. The last compound gives rise to hexadiene,. which on polymerization by sodium &c. results in a caoutchouc-like compound. 1:3-Butylene glycol is prepared by the reduction of aldol. 3:4-Hexylene glycol is prepared by the reduction of hexanol (3)-one (4) with sodium amalgam.

Title: Improvements in Alternating Current Electric Commutator Motors.
IPC: H02K27/20
Filed: 1912-06-26
Abstract: 14,931. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. June 26, 1911, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Alternating-current commutator machines.- To keep constant the speed of three-phase commutator motors, repulsion motors, &c., with varying loads, or to produce predetermined speed-variations, the commutator brushes of the motor are displaced automatically through the action of the motor current, or by the torque exerted by the rotor, or by some other loadvariable. For example, the brush-rocker may be shifted by the movable core of a solenoid placed in series or in shunt with the rotor or stator windings, the movement of the core being restrained by an adjustable spring. The displacement of the brushes may be effected by the mechanical torque of the motor; the stator is then mounted so as to be capable of a limited turning movement, its rotation causing a movement of the brush-rocker. In the case of a motor driving a blower or pump, the pressure or supply height may be utilized to effect the brush-adjustment.

Abstract: 5309. Bukh, J. M. May 18, 1912, [Convention date]. Cylinders receiving liquid fuel.-In a fourstroke-cycle Diesel engine in which, at starting, a supplementary compression chamber is opened in order to allow the engine to work as an explosion engine, the supplementary chamber is formed in or above the cylinder head. The timing of the fuelpump is adjusted by the same movement of the handle p which opens the valve (not shown) controlling the supplementary chamber, this valve being controlled by the rod c. The timing of the pump is effected by shifting the roller of the pump-rod g from the path of the cam v to that of the cam u. In order to prevent the change-over from the starting to normal working from being effected except when the exhaustvalve is open, the disk n has a notch z which is held by a finger y on the exhaust-valve rod except when this rod is raised.

Inventor: WAITE FRED
IPC: B65H29/04

Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 14,213. Waite, F. June 19. Delivery apparatus.- Relates to stop-cylinder machines in which the sheets are taken by gripper chains and transferred to carrying- tapes which pass the sheets across the chain path to a second set of tapes, and consists in mounting the gripper chains 8 so that they have an approximately right-angled path, and so that the vertical portions of such path converge towards each other where they pass through the tape paths 10, 11, Fig. 1, so that the tapes 10, 11 may be brought close together, and sheets can thus pass direct from the tapes 10 to the tapes 11 withouc the use of movable bridging-devices. In a modification, Fig. 3, a fixed sheet guide or roller 17 is arranged between the two runs of chain 8, and the gaps between this and the tapes are small and the sheets can pass across the gap between the tapes 10, 11. As shown in Fig. 1, the tapes 10 are mounted in a pivoted frame 10<Î>, which is rocked to the position shown in dotted lines to give sufficient clearance to prevent the printed face of a thick sheet from contacting with the roller 11<Î> of the tapes 11. The chains 8 are driven intermittently by a wheel 5 geared to the impression cylinder 2, and the tapes 10, 11 receive motion from a chain 16 driven from the oscillating spur-wheel which actuates the impression cylinder, the tapes 10 receiving alternate movements in different directions, and the tapes 11 being driven by a ratchet clutch 11<y> in one direction only. In a modification, the tapes 11 are mounted in an oscillating frame instead of the tapes 10. As shown in Fig. 3, the tapes 10 are mounted in a frame 10<x> rocked by an oscillating bell-crank 18 which also oscillates a set of laths 10<y>, supporting the sheets clear of tapes 10 while the grippers 9 are carrying the sheets. A roller 19 carried by the frame 10<x> also assists in carrying out the same purpose.
