Title: A metal complex of bis-(pyridyloxide) disulphide, its preparation and use as a fungicide
IPC: C07F7/00
Filed: 1960-04-29
Abstract: The invention comprises stannous chloride bis-(2-pyridyl-1-oxide) disulphide having the empirical formula SnCl2.(C5H4NOS)2, which may be prepared by reacting stannous chloride with bis-(2-pyridyl-1-oxide) disulphide in an acidic, aqueous mixture and recovering the precipitated product.  The bis-(2-pyridyl-1-oxide) disulphide may be prepared as in Specification 834,553.  The new compound may be used as a fungicide (see Group VI).ALSO:A fungicidal composition comprises stannous chloride bis-(2-pyridyl-1-oxide) disulphide having the empirical formula SnCl2(C5H4NOS)2 and an inert diluent.  The stannous chloride complex can be dispersed on an inert finely-divided solid, such as clay, talc or bentonite, and employed as a dust.  Alternatively, the complex may be applied as a spray in a liquid carrier or as a suspension in a non-solvent such as water, if necessary together with wetting agents. Carriers which are active parasiticides, herbicides and fertilizers may also be used.

Title: Improvements in trucks and wheel trains, especially intended for railroad vehicles
IPC: B61F5/38
Filed: 1936-05-29
Abstract: 475,907. Railway-vehicle axle-trucks. BUGATTI, E. May 29, 1936, No. 15253. Convention date, June 3, 1935. [Class 103 (vi)] In a railway vehicle of the kind in which some or all of the axles carried by the underframe or a truck frame are capable of lateral displacement and are so interconnected that displacement of one axle produces a corresponding opposed displacement of the other axle or axles, the interconnection is effected wholly or partly through a hydraulic transmission employing a substantially incompressible liquid. In the arrangement shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, the four axles a, b, c, d of a truck have rigidly mounted thereon pistons operating in cylinders a<1>, b<1>, c<1>, d<1> secured to the truck frame C, which is pivoted to the underframe at P. The pairs of cylinders a<1>, b<1> and c<1>, d<1> are interconnected by double conduits so that when one axle, e.g. a, is displaced say, to the left on a curve, the associated axle b is correspondingly displaced to the right. Alternatively, the cylinders a, c and b, d may be associated with each other. Further modifications are described in which the invention is applied to arrangements of three or five axles in a main or truck frame, the diameters of the cylinders being chosen to provide the requisite control of the displacement of the axles. Fig. 7 shows a practical construction in which the piston 6 and axle 1, on which the wheel 5 is loosely mounted, are slidable relatively to the main or truck frame, strap 3 of the suspension springs 4, and cylinder 7, the latter being supported by brackets 8 from the straps 3. A pair of conduits 22 render the piston and cylinder double acting, while stops are disposed on the axle or piston to limit the lateral displacement. In another construction, Fig. 8, the piston 6 is single acting and its displacements are effected by a rod 9 and roller 10 making contact with the wheel 5, which, in this case, is secured to the axle 1. Further modifications are described in which the pistons are secured to the vehicle or truck frame, while the cylinders are displaceable with the axles, and in which the pistons are replaced by flexible membranes.

Title: An improved fusible protective device for use in electric switches of small dimensions
IPC: H01H37/76
Filed: 1940-10-14
Abstract: 553,862. Thermal switches. LANDIS & GYR SOC. ANON. Oct. 14, 1940, Nos. 15257 and 15258. Convention dates, Oct. 19, 1939, and Jan. 23, 1940. [Class 38 (v)] A thermally-released switch of the fusible kind is adapted to be mounted in a thermal regulator or other switch and comprises a pin 12 held by fusible metal 15 to a bush 9 inserted in a terminal member 7, the pin normally bearing against another terminal member 6 from which it moves under the action of a spring 11 when the metal 15 fuses. This breaks the circuit leading to the switch of the thermal regulator which may have an immersion tube 1 containing a thermal element which operates a switch to regulate the temperature of a boiler. The pin 12 is fixed to a head member 10 of insulating material which slides along the bush 9 when the metal 15 fuses and which projects so as to indicate that the device has operated. In a modification the fusible metal is located inside the bush 9, and the spring 11 outside.

IPC: D06B23/02
Filed: 1960-05-02
Abstract: 902,546. Spreading or smoothing paper &c. RODNEY HUNT MACHINE CO. May 2, 1960, No. 15309/60. Class 96. [Also in Group XIII] A roll for spreading or smoothing paper &c. has, e.g. a bowed central metal tube or spindle 12 plugged at each end by a metal plate 18 from which projects a gudgeon pin 22 so that the roll may be turned to any desired position, in which it is then clamped. A flexible, resilient sleeve 14 surrounds and floats about the metal tube 12, pressure of water, oil or air, &c., as a film between the sleeve and the tube allowing the sleeve to turn freely around the tube. The pressure is generated by a pump 34, the fluid passing through a hollow gudgeon pin 22 and through openings 36 in the tube 12. Fluid leaking from the spaces between the tube 12 and the ends of the sleeve 14 is caught in enclosures 42 from which it may be re-circulated. If the sleeve 14 stops turning, any consequent surge of fluid may pass into further enclosures 44 from which it drains back via passages 56.

Title: Manufacture of glacial acetic acid from dilute acetic acids
IPC: C07C51/487
Filed: 1929-05-21
Abstract: 312,173. I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.- Ges. May 18, 1928, [Convention date]. Right to Patent relinquished. Acetic acid is obtained from its aqueous solutions by first partially concentrating (to about 60 per cent) and then adding a substance, such as urea or other amide, p-toluidine, or an alkali acetate, which forms an addition compound with acetic acid, removing the remaining water by distillation or crystallization, and then decomposing the addition compound by heating to obtain the acid. The preliminary concentration is effected by cooling to -26‹ C. while stirring, precautions being taken to avoid supercooling, for which purpose ice crystals may be added. The ice crystals are separated, and may be washed or pressed to recover adhering acid. In the examples, (1) acetic acid of 20 per cent is run into acetic acid of 60 per cent, with stirring, at -26‹ C., the ice crystals being washed with 20 per cent acid; the 60 per cent acid thus obtained is treated with urea and cooled, with stirring, to about 0‹ C. and below: the addition compound is separated centrifugally at -17‹ C. and the acid is recovered by heating in a vacuum, the urea being then dissolved in the mother-liquor, concentrated until the solution contains acetic acid of 60 per cent, and used in the next operation; (2) acetic is concentrated to 60 per cent as above, the ice crystals being pressed to recover the adhering acid, leaving a solid block of ice; anhydrous potassium acetate is added to the 60 per cent acid and the mixture is cooled to -24‹ C. with stirring; potassium acid acetate with 2 molecules of acetic acid separates, and is heated in a vacuum to recover the acid; the mother-liguor contains potassium acetate and 38 per cent acid, and is returned to the process for the production of 60 per cent acid.

Abstract: 634,803. Air compressors. INGERSOLLRAND CO., and BAKER, C. S. June 16, 1947, No. 15807. [Class 8(i)] A two stage compressor system having means to unload the compressor on reaching a predetermined pressure in a reservoir and also when the compressor stops, comprises low pressure and high pressure cylinders 10, 11 with an inter-stage cooler B, delivering compressed gas to a receiver C. At a predetermined pressure in the receiver C a valve F operates a supply pressure gas to operate a piston 19 of an unloader valve D to cut off the intake to the cylinders 10. A valve G connected between the inlet and outlet of the intercooler 13 operates on cessation of gas flow in the intercooler to unload pressure in the intercooler and inlet manifold of the cylinder 11. A valve H in the high pressure inlet manifold is operated upon the reduction of pressure therein to hold open the inlet valve to the cylinder 11 and open the manifold to atmospheric pressure. When the compressor stops a valve K subjected to the pressure existing in the inlet manifold and the inlet to the intercooler B, connects pressure gas from the reservoir C to operate the unloader D. When the pressure in the reservoir C falls or when the compressor restarts the valves K, D, G, H operate slowly to unload the compressor.
