The head b is provided with air-outlet passages f, and with a second washer d adapted to form a tight joint with the mouth of the vessel being filled. The tube p is connected by the links and levers o<2>, o<1>, o, m, k to the treadle l, which also actuates the bottle &c. rest g through the rod g'. In operation, the treadle is first depressed, so raising the filling-tube and lowering the rest, to enable the vessel h to be placed in position, after which the treadle is released, so allowing the spring x to raise the vessel and lower the filling- tube into the filling position. The valve q is opened when its stem q' strikes the bottom of the vessel, the filling-tube extending nearly to the bottom of the vessel, and so preventing frothing. A second depression of the treadle permits the removal of the filled vessel. The treadle mechanism may be arranged to operate in the reverse manner to that shown. A stand g<2> on the rest g is adapted to receive the vessel while the cover is being closed. The tube p may be dispensed with, the pipe s being connected to the head b and provided with a stop cock. The head may also be connected to the tube p, and either the tube and head, or the rest g, may be immovable. The valve q may be arranged at the lower end of the tube p.

Patent GB-189922285-A (GB)
Title: The Manufacture and Production of New Derivatives of Quinine-carbonic Acid.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1899-11-07
Granted: 1900-09-08
Abstract: 22,285. Johnson, J. Y., [Vereinigte Chininfabriken Zimmer & Co.]. Nov. 7. Medicinal preparations, which resemble the quinine derivatives described in Specification No. 4991, A.D. 1896, in possessing no taste, and also possess the antipyretic antineuralgic properties of their phenolic constituents, are prepared as follows:- (1) The phenol ether of quinine-carbonic acid, CO(OC20H23N2O)(OC6H5), for example, is produced by heating quinine, or one of its salts, with phenol carbonate, with or without the addition of a solvent. The mixture is dissolved in benzene, and the new product is extracted therefrom by a dilute acid, and then precipitated by an alkali. It forms salts with acids, for example, with salicylic acid. Other phenol ethers of quinine-carbonic acid, such as the pyrocatechol ether, p-ethylamidophenol ether, p-nitrophenol ether, and the thymol ether, are prepared in a similar manner. (2) The derivatives of the amide of quinine-carbonic acid are prepared in two ways, viz. : - by the action of quinine, or its salts, upon substituted isocyanates, or upon substituted carbonic chlorides. For example, (a) the anilide of quinine-carbonic acid (phenyl-carbamic ether of quinine) CO(OC2OH23N2 O)(NH.C6H5), is produced by heating anhydrous quinine with phenyl isucyanate at 190‹ C.; and (b) the phenetidide of quinine-carbonic acid (p-ethoxyphenyl-carbamic ether of quinine), CO (OC20H23N3O)(NH.C6H4OC2H5) is produced by first adding a molecular proportion of phosgene in benzene to two molecular proportions of phenetidine in benzene, whereby p-ethoxyphenyl-carbamic chloride is formed, then filtering off the latter, and adding to the filtrate two molecular proportions of quinine. Quinine hydrochloride separates, and the phenetidide is then taken up with dilute acid and precipitated by ammonia. The phenetidide of cinchonidine-carbonic acid is produced in the same manner.

Title: Improvements in Triple Valves for Air Brakes for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-04-20
Granted: 1900-08-25
Abstract: 7359. Johnson, G. W., [Mann, W. B.]. April 20. Brakes, pneumatic-pressure. Relates particularly to quick-action triple valves for air brakes. Fig. 1 shows the parts in position for release. The train-pipe T communicates with both sides of the piston C by means of the passage T' and the valvecontrolled channel T<2>. respectively, while a large port b leads to the brake cylinder, which exhausts through a restricted aperture a<1>. The auxiliary reservoir is connected with the valve chamber by ducts a<3>, which are connected by one or more small ports a<5> to the passage a<2> and port a<4> leading to the brake cylinder. For a service stop, the pipe T is vented slightly, and the excess of pressure in the channel T<2> forces the piston C against the spring stop E, first closing the port a' and then, when the pin p reaches the end of the slot d, the valve D, the stem of which is fitted in the piston-rod C', uncovers the port a<5> and allows a limited quantity of air to enter the brake cylinder. Directly the pressure in the auxiliary reservoir falls below that in the pipe T, the piston c returns, releasing the valve D, which closes the port a<5> by means of the spring c<1>, but the slide valve B does not move owing to the lost motion of the parts. A larger quantity of air is vented from the pipe T for an emergency stop, and this causes a rapid movement of the piston U to the left, opening communication between the ports a and b by means of the slide B, thus allowing a large quantity of air to escape to the brake cylinder. At the same time, the valve D is drawn out of the passage a<2> and allows a rush of air from the auxiliary reservoir to the brake cylinder. Should a coupling break, the valve S closes and prevents air from escaping from the brake cylinder. Release is effected by pumping up the tram-pipe, causing the piston C to move to the right and cause the valve B to shut communication between the ports a and b and to uncover the exhaust port a<1>, while the graduating-valve D cuts off connection between the brake cylinder and auxiliary reservoir, the pressure in the latter being almost immediately equalized with that in the train-pipe.

The feedwater enters by the pipe D to the inductor E. The return pipe G is provided with the deflecting cap H. In another arrangement, the pipe B is taken down internally through the water, and the return pipe from the tank C has its orifice formed as an annular sleeve around the down pipe B.
