Patent GB-256916-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in capstans or winches
IPC: B61J3/04
Filed: 1925-11-13
Abstract: 256,916. Leroux, P. E. Aug. 11, 1925, [Convention date]. Capstans; winches; driving-gear; tensionregulating.-A winch or capstan is driven by a motor either at a relatively high speed through gears or at various lower speeds proportioned one to the other in two different directions by a reciprocating motion which is transformed into motion through a circular arc, the length of which can be determined at will. The motor 5, Fig. 3, drives a vertical shaft 11 through double reduction worm gearing. A gear B loosely mounted on the shaft 11 can be connected thereto by a clutch 15, the actuating rod of which extends through the top of the casing. The gear 13 engages a gear 21 formed integral with the conical drum 22, Fig. 4, the hub 23 of which carries a ring 24 turning on a hollow vertical shaft 25 containing lubricating oil. The winding drum 28 is kept in place on the cone 22 by a nut 30 acting through a ball bearing 31. The upper part of the drum forms a brake pulley 34 on which acts a brake band 103. A crank pin 37 on the worm wheel 10 is connected by a rod 38, Fig. 6, to a pivoted member 40 carrying opposed pawls 42, 43 which engage ratchet wheels 44, 45 having opposed teeth keyed to the shaft 46. A pinion 47 on the lower end of the shaft gears with a toothed wheel 21 formed integral with the cone 22. A vertical shaft 48 which can be turned from outside the casing carries a gear 50 engaging a toothed sector 51 which turns freely on the hub of the ratchet wheels 44, 45 and is integral with a member forming screens 52, 53. These screens can be placed between the teeth of the ratchets and the pawls 42, 43, and also two opposeed retaining pawls. A gear 64, Fig. 12, on the shaft 48 engages a rack 65, the rod 66 of which is constrained to move horizontally and works through an arm 68 integral with the fork of the, clutch 15. When the clutch is disengaged, the rod can pass freely through a circular aperture in the arm, but when the clutch is engaged, a reduced part of the rod is engaged by a narrow passage in the arm, and the movement of the rod is prevented. In this position of the rod, the screens are between the pawls and ratchets, and rotation of the shaft 46 cannot take place. The cable 73 passes round one of the guide rollers 71, 72 which are carried on hollow axles 74, Fig. 11, forming oil reservoirs and having elongated bases 76 slidable in slots 77 in the base. The bases are separated by a spring 79, the tension of which can be regulated. Pivoted levers 84, 85 connect the bases to rods 88, 89 having pin-and-slot connections with a bell-crank lever on a shaft controlling a valve in the supply pipe of the motor. As soon as the tension of the cable becomes abnormal, the distance between the rollers 71, 72 decreases, and the valve closes. The edges 2 of the base are bent up to facilitate the dragging of the machine over the ground. Alternatively the machine may be mounted on wheels.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture and production of substitution products of dibenzopyrenequinones
IPC: C09B3/54
Filed: 1928-10-08
Abstract: 324,964. Johnson, J. Y., (I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.-Ges.). Oct. 8, 1928. Samples furnished. Dibenzpyrenequinones.-Substitution products of 3 : 4 : 8 : 9 - dibenzpyrene-5 : 10 - quinone are obtained either by replacing the nitro groups in mononitro-3 : 4 : 8 : 9-dibenzpyrene 5 : 10-quinones directly by halogen atoms in the absence of any diluting medium or in the presence of an organic diluent, or by reducing the nitro groups to amino groups and replacing the latter by monovalent radicles, such as cyano, thiocyano, mercapto and hydroxy groups, by means of the diazo reaction. In replacing the nitro groups by halogen atoms, further halogen atoms may enter the molecule. The products containing hydroxy groups can be etherified, for example with dimethyl sulphate or with esters' of p-toluenesulphonic acid, such as the methyl, ethyl, ethylene, chlorethylene, and phenyl esters. In examples, (1) mononitro-3 :4 : 8 : 9- dibenzpyrene-5 :10-quinone, obtained by nitrating in nitrobenzene, is boiled with benzoyl chloride; the monochlor derivative obtained dyes cotton in yellow shades, (2) the mononitro derivative of example 1 is treated with chlorine in trichlorbenzene at a raised temperature; a dichlor derivative is obtained which dyes cotton in clear yellow shades with a reddish tinge, (3) monoamino - 3 : 4 : 8 : 9 - dibenzpyrene - 5 : 10-quinone, obtained by reducing the nitro compound, is diazotized and treated with potassium iodide; the monoiodo derivative obtained dyes cotton in yellow shades, while similar dyestuffs may be obtained by using cuprous chloride or bromide instead of potassium iodide, (4) monoamino-3 : 4 : 8 : 9-dibenzpyrene-5 : 10-quinone is diazotized and the diazo solution warmed; the resulting monohydroxy derivative differs from the monohydroxy- 3 : 4 : 8 : 9 - dibenzpyrene-5 : 10-quinone hitherto known, and has little affinity for vegetable fibres, (5) the monohydroxy-3 : 4 : 8 : 9-dibenzpyrene-5 : 10-quinone obtained according to the preceding example is methylated by means of p-toluenesulphonic methylester; the product dyes cotton in orange shades, and (6) monoamino-3 : 4 : 8 : 9- dibenzpyrene-5 : 10-quinone is diazotized and treated with potassium thiocyanate or cuprous cyanide, the resulting thiocyano and cyano derivatives dye cotton in red-yellow and golden orange shades respectively.

Title: Fluid-pressure actuated control apparatus
IPC: F22D11/00
Filed: 1958-09-09
Abstract: 840,216. Controlling fluid-pressure engines; engine valve gear. YOUNG, D. H. Sept. 9, 1958, No. 28907/58. Classes 122 (2) and 122 (4). [Also in Group XXVIII] In fluid-pressure engine comprising a piston 5 mounted within a cylinder 1 on a rod 4 and operated in one direction by pressurized fluid, the movement of the piston, on the fluid-pressure stroke, is controlled by forcing an hydraulic fluid into a reservoir 10 through a valve 13, and a valve 9 is arranged to be automatically operated at each end of the stroke of the piston so as to control the supply of pressure fluid to the cylinder 1. As shown applied to a pump (see Group XXVIII) for dispensing lubricant, the reservoir 10 surrounds the pump cylinder 2 (the piston 6 of which is mounted on the rod 4) and is in communication with the cylinder 1 via a non-return valve 26 and the valve 13 which is manually adjustable. In operation, pressurized fluid, such as steam, is fed through a port 7 and, with the piston in the position shown, is exhausted through the valve 9 (more particularly described in Specification 840,217) to a steam trap 22. The piston then moves downwardly under the action of a spring 24 and thereby draws into the cylinder 1 through the valve 26 hydraulic fluid contained in the reservoir until at the end of the stroke a control-shaft 16 closes the valve 9. The pressurized fluid then acts on the piston and moves the latter against the action of the spring and the resistance of the hydraulic fluid passing through passages 11, 12 back into the reservoir at a rate controlled by the valve 13 ; the control-shaft 16 serves to open the valve 9 at the end of the stroke. In a modification, instead of the fluidpressure acting directly on the piston 5 it may act against another piston connected to the latter piston by a rod, with the interposition of an intermediate piston. The spring 24, if desired, may be replaced by arranging for the pressurized fluid, which moves the piston upwards, to also move it downwardly. The piston-rod 4 may be adapted to open or close the blow-off valve of a steam boiler.

Title: Improvements in or relating to processes of producing butyl alcohol by fermentation
IPC: C12P7/28
Filed: 1934-10-11
Abstract: Acetone together with butyl and ethyl alcohols are obtained by fermentation of soluble carbohydrate mashes containing degraded protein (including ammonia) by means of bacteria of the clostridium saccharo-acetobutylicum group which are characterized by an orange to red or brown coloration, and ability to produce high yields of the solvents from mashes of at least 6 per cent sugar concentration at 24-40 DEG  C., the acidity during fermentation being so controlled that the final acidity due to the bacterial action is pH 5-6,2.  The bacteria may be isolated by known methods, especially plating in solid media, as described in Specification 437,121, from various materials such as soil, rotten wood, grain, corn stalks, or river mud.  Full particulars are given of the morphological and biochemical characteristics of the bacteria, and of two strains called Clostridium saccharoacetobutylicum beta and gamma.  The mash may contain a small proportion of undegraded protein, and the acidity may be controlled by adding initially calcium, barium or iron carbonate enough to neutralize initial acidity and leave 3-10 per cent of the weight of the sugar in excess.  The mixture is not stirred, as it is not intended to neutralize all the acid formed. Alternatively any alkaline material may be added continuously semi-continuously so as to produce the same pH value as would be effected by the above method.  Examples are given of the use of the beta bacteria of the sixth generation with a 6 per cent mash and of the gamma bacteria with mashes varying from 5 to 6,5 per cent, the yields calculated in the sugar varying from 31,5 to 33,8 per cent.  Specification 415,311 also is referred to.
