Granted: 1904-08-11
Abstract: 2638. Muirhead, J. A. Feb. 3. Plug cocks; vent- ing-cocks.- Relates to a racking - tap specially adapted for preventing loss of the liquor. The plug f is made with two passages g, h and a groove i, and the socket is pro- vided with an inlet b, an outlet c, an air vent e, and a bye-pass d, con- nected by a pipe t to the annular space l. The shank is covered with an india-rubber sleeve o to make a liquid- tight joint at the buughole. When the cock is open, as shown, the liquor passes down the central passage and the extension piece n, and the air escapes through holes r to an opening m. As soon as the liquor begins to escape through this opening, the cock is turned off in one direction so as to connect the bye-pass d and the inner space c to the vent hole e by means of the groove i, or in the other direction so as to connect the bye-pass and the passage c through the plug, thereby permitting the liquor in the space c to flow out into the barrel as the tap is withdrawn. By regulating the distance of the holes r from the top of the barrel, the quantity of liquid contained in the passage e can be made to fill the barrel completely.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Machines for Aspirating Sifting and Delivering Chaff.
Inventor: BAMFORD JOSEPH
Filed: 1904-02-11
Granted: 1904-12-15
Abstract: 3448. Bamford, J. Feb. 11. Sifting chaff.-C h a f f - cutters are combined with apparatus for aspirating, sifting, and delivering chaff, consisting of one or more screens over which the chaff is carried by conveyers, and a fan adapted to extract the dust from underneath or from the interior of the screen or screens. The apparatus may also be used independently of the chaff-cutter. The chaff from a chaff-cutter A, Fig. 1, is delivered by the hopper a to the elevator b, which carries it over the fine sieve c' through which the dust is drawn by the fan d and blown away through the pipe g. The chaff then passes over the coarse sieve c<2>, through which the chaff falls, the cavings passing on to the screw conveyer e, by which they are carried to the feed-web f of the chaffcutter. The conveyer may be of the kind shown in Fig. 4, in which inclined bars h<1>, h<2>, furnished with prongs l, receive a reciprocating motion from the cranksj, k, so as to move forward along the sieves, but to be lifted off them for the backward movement ; or a screw conveyer may be used, in which case the sieves c<1> c' are made trough-shaped. In another modification two conveyers may be used, the chaff being carried over the chaff sieve by one, and the chaff and dust, which pass through, falling into the second and being worked by it over the dust sieve. A special conveyer is shown in Fig. 9. In this the chaff falls on to the chaff sieve c<2> and is carried over it by one edge of the slats or brushes b<6>, and then falls on to the table t or the dust screen c<1> over which it is conveyed by the other edges of the same slats or brushes. In another modification, the screen has a cylindrical shape c<3>, Fig. 12, and the conveyer consists of slats or brushes b<6> revolving round it. The screens may be either fixed or may receive a reciprocating motion, and either of them may be dispensed with. The Provisional Specification states that, by replacing the dust screen c', Fig. 1, by a chaff screen, the chaff may be delivered where desired by means of the pipe g.

Abstract: 7898. Ransome, J. E., Eyre, F. J., and Lambert, T. April 5. Lawn-mowers.-The sliding plate for discharging the cut grass is traversed across the collecting-box by means of a rotating screw or cam intermittently or continuously driven from some moving part of the machine. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement. The screwed sbaft c<1> passes through a nut on the vertical sliding plate, and is rotated in either direction by the gearing shown, either of the pinions d, e being clutched to it by means of the clutch g and lever g<1>. When the plate reaches either end of the box a, it comes into contact with a stop g<3> on a rod g<2> and throws the clutch out of engagement. The pinion d is rotated by means of a chain-wheel d' fixed to it. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement in which a double screw c is continuously rotated in the same direction. The nut b<1> consists of a plain cylinder provided with a forked button b<2> fitted with a lever b<3>, which is moved by pivoted bell-crank tappets operated by cords fixed to levers pivoted on the handles. The screw c has a plain part at either end, on which the nut b<1> remains until the forked button b<2> is turned into engagement with one of the threads of the screw. Instead of using a button, the nut may be made in halves, each half fitting one of the threads. Fig. 9 shows a third arrangement, in which the slide is moved by a long lever j pivoted at j<1> and carrying a roller engaging with a continuously rotating double cam c. The movement of the slide may be made intermittent by providing circular grooves at the ends of the short cam c, the roller being caused to enter the oblique grooves by means of tappets. In motor machines, the screw or cam may be driven from the engine. Specification No. 21,049, A.D. 1900, is referred to.

Abstract: 17,192. Strasser, L. Aug. 5. Chromo-gelatine processes; printing; negatives for photo-mechanical printing, producing.-Relates to a pigment process which allows visible copying, which yields right-side pictures without a double transfer, and which can be employed in printing and other reproducing processes. Paper sensitized with citrate of iron and ammonium is exposed under a negative, and is then brought into contact with a pigment paper impregnated with a chromate, giving a reduction in the exposed part of the first copy. A coating of gelatine and alum is included in the sensitized paper so that both layers will adhere, and they are developed in hot water. The sensitized paper may, however, be coated with dextrin or the like, so that the films are easily separated again, the pigment paper being brought into contact with transfer paper or with another correspondingly-prepared support, and then developed in the usual way. Alternative sensitizing-ingredients are detailed, or pigment plates with mercury and silver may be used. For preparing printing- plates, the sensitive paper is exposed, and brought into contact with the chromated gelatine layer of the printing-plate, and after a short interval again removed. Accelerating-solutions for the process may contain sodium acetate or potassium rhodanate, or, in the case of the mercury or silver plates, sodium chloride, sodium and potassium cyanides, or iron perchloride.

Abstract: 2406. Crossley, W. J., and Atkinson, J. [Jan. 31. Gas and like engines, governing in. The gas valve is closed by a spring, and , opened by a rod acting through another spring only when air is admitted to a dash-pot on its stem by means of a small valve under the control of the governor. The Provisional Specification states that the invention is to some extent a modification of that described in Specification No. 13,500, A.D. 1903. Fig. 4 shows the gas valve R surrounding the stem of the admission valve 0 and carrying a piston U working in a cylinder, to which the valve.K controls the admission of air. A collar Z on the valve 0 tends to open the valve R through the spring X and to close it by acting through the cushioning- spring W and piston U. In a modification, the gas valve is independent of the admission valve ; it is opened by an adjustable tappet acting through a spring. The valve K may be a beat valve which is pressed open by a spring and is drawn on to its seat by the vacuum when it is nearly closed by the governor, to prevent a wasteful non-combustible charge being admitted. The gas enters late when it is throttled and always provides a rich mixture near the igniter.

Abstract: 10,228. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. May 1. Chlorbenzimidazoles.-Relates to the production of amidines of the general formulawhere R represents hydrogen, alkyl, or aryl, and gamma represents hydrogen or chlorine. The amidines derived from as-trichlordiaminobenzene and v-tetrachlordiaminobenzene are particularly useful. The amidines are produced by reducing the o-nitroacylamino. or o-nitroalkylacylamino-derivatives of tri- or tetra-chlorbenzene. A mixture of the amidine and diamino compounds is usually obtained. The diamino compounds with or without previous separation are converted into the amidines by heating either alone or with a dehydrating- agent. The amidines obtained from non-alkylnitroacylamino compounds may be converted into alkylated derivatives isomeric with those obtained from the nitroalkylacylamino compounds, by treating tbeir alkali compounds with an agent such as methyl chloride. The following are suitable parent materials for use in the above process: 1-formyl- or acetyl-amino-2-nitro-3 : 4 : 6-trichlorbenzene (obtained by nitrating formyl-or acetyl-trichloranilide), 1-methylformylamino-2-nitro-3 : 4 : 6-trichlorbenzene, 1-ethylacetylamino-2-nitro-3 : 4 : 6-trichlorbenzene, and 1-ethyl- or benzyl-acetylamino- or benzoylamino-2-nitro 3 : 4 : 5 : 6-tetrachlorbenzene.
