Patent GB-190326132-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture and Production of New Azo-dyestuffs.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1903-11-30
Granted: 1904-09-08
Abstract: 26,132. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Nov. 30. Dyes, artificial.-Relates to the process described in Specification No. 18,569, A.D. 1902. Azo dyes are prepared by combining a, alpha3-amidonaphthol with diazotized o-amidophenolsulphonic acids, such as o-amidopbenol-p-chloro-o sulphonic acid, oamido-o-cresol-p-sulphonic acid (OH : CH3 : SO3H : NH2 # 1 : 2 : 4 : 6), o-amido-m-cresol-p-sulphonic acid, (OH : CH3 : SO3H : NH2 # 1 : 3 : 4 : 6), and o-amidophenol-p-sulphonic acid, in an acid solution. Dyes dyeing wool violet or violet-red in an acid bath, and turning black by subsequent treatment with oxidizing chromium compounds, are obtained. For example, diazotized o-amidophenol-p-sulphonic acid is stirred into an aqueous solution of a, a3- amidonaphtholhydrochloride and the free mineral acid neutralized with sodium acetate. After stirring for some hours, the mixture is heated on a water bath, made alkaline with sodium carbonate, and the dye is precipitated with common salt, filtered off, and dried.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Making Corkscrews.
Inventor: TIMSON ARTHUR FRANK
Filed: 1903-12-28
Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 28,483. Timson, A. F. Dec. 28. Bending; wire.-Corkscrews are ejected from the grooved mandrels on which they are wound, by a positive rotation of the latter, to ensure the clearing of the mandrel in case of breakage of a corkscrew. The grooved mandrel 9, Fig. 4, is concentric with a twisting-head 2, screwed into a shaft 4, slidable in bearings 3, and driven by a feathered pinion 7. A pinion 10 and rotary head 13 are secured to the end of the shaft 4 by a split disc 11, and screws 15 clamp a split bush 14, Fig. 3, against the end 8 of the mandrel. The main shaft 21 carries oppositely-set intermittent gears 22, 23, engaging spur-wheeels 24, 25, keyed respectively to the other spur-wheels 27, 28, loose on a shaft 26. Each of the gears 22, 23 has a projection 29, Fig. 3, a recess 31, and a locking-surface 34. The spur-wheels 24, 25 each have a locking-face 33 terminating in projections 30, 32 and the number of teeth is such that each turns a complete revolution during alternate half revolutions of the shaft 21.
Patent GB-190403420-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Straight Air Automatically Acting Brakes for Trolley or Single Cars.
Inventor: ALLISON CHARLES ARTHUR
Filed: 1904-02-11
Granted: 1904-03-24
Abstract: 3420. Allison, C. A., [Levy, A. B.]. Feb. 11. Brakes.-An airbrake system is specially arranged for use on single cars, and is provided with means whereby, upon a break occurring in the system, the brake is applied and held set. When the parts are in the position of full release, as shown in the drawing, air supplied to a pipe b from a pump E, passes by a port a<14> in a rotary slide valve a<13>, into a port a<3> in the casing of the controlling- valve A. This port communicates by a port a' with a pipe a, by which the air is conducted to a governing-valve B, where it passes through a passage b<14>, into a chamber b<16>, and a valve-controlled pipe F. The pressure is then equal in all parts of the system. To apply the brakes under ordinary circumstances, the handle is moved round so that a port a<15> connects ports a<2>, a<5>, and as the latter communicates with a pipe a<7> open to the atmosphere, the pressure in the pipe a is reduced, and the piston of the valve B is moved to the left. The stem of the piston is connected, however, to the upper member b<2> of a double slide valve, and as soon as ports b<8>, b<6> coincide, shoulders b<11 >engaging a yoke b<9> attached to the lower member b<3>, cause this member also to move bringing the ports b<8>, b<6> into communication with the pipe d of the brake-cylinder, so that air in the pipe F and chamber b<16> will be discharged into this cylinder, and the valve c' will be opened against its spring to replenish the supply from the reservoir and the pump E. To make an emergency stop, the handle is thrown to the emergency position, when the port t a' is connected with both the ports a<5>, a<6>, and the piston valve being thrown violently to the left. the larger port b<7> in the member b<3> is brought into communication with the pipe d, thereby effecting rapid application of the brakes. A valve f<1> is maintained open by its spring so long as the pressure in the reservoir and pipe lines are substantially equal. Should a break occur in any part of the system other than the reservoir, the pressure in the reservoir would immediately close the valve f<1>, thereby maintaining the reservoir pressure and keeping the valve c<1> closed, so that the brakes are automatically set. A port containing a spring valve a<16>, is also provided in the rotary slide valve for the purpose of admitting air to the pipe a to check the motion of the piston of the valve B, when the handle has been turned to the lap position. The spindle of the valve A has a tenon adapted to connect the spindle with a slot a<12> in the rotary slide valve.

Title: Improved Absorbent Non Combustible Material for Burning Hydrocarbon and other Liquid Fuels.
Inventor: GALLOWAY WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-09-19
Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 20,138. Galloway, W. Sept. 19. Porous blocks for liquid combustibles. - An absorbent material for burning and storage of hydrocarbons and other liquid fuels is obtained by treating slagwool to remove its impurities. The slagwool is strongly heated in a pan provided with rotating vanes, when the impurities become separated from the useful material. The contents of the pan may be slaked with a small quantity of oil, which condenses on the mass as it cools. The roasted and slaked material is passed over screens of different meshes to remove the various impurities. The finer portion of the slagwool passes through the meshes along with the grit and is recovered by agitating water in a sieve, when the heavier gritty portions sink through the gauze bottom. The material is put in the burner and connections are made to supply it with oil.

Abstract: 3818. Hefflin, W. Feb. 23. Brakes.-Brake mechanism, particularly for road wagons, is provided with a sliding locking-dog which can be moved into and out of its operative position simultaneously with the brake mechanism. The brake shoes 40 are carried on a rod 39, which is connected by links 37, 38 to a pin on the brake lever 13, by which pin the brake lever is pivoted to a plate 10 secured to the reach pole 7. A dog 24 in the brake lever is normally held in engagement with a ratchet 11 on the plate 10 by a spring 26. To apply the brake, the rear end of the brake lever is grasped by the band, and the plate 32 pressed inwardly to cause the bevelled end of the pin 29 to engage the inclined wall of a passage 28 through the dog and so retract the dog from the ratchet 11. The lever is then rotated about its pivot to apply the brakes, and the plate 32 released, which permits the dog again to engage the ratchet and hold the brake shoes on the wheels. The shoes are normally held away from the wheels by a spring 41.

Title: Improvements in Direct Driven Fans for Automabile Cooling Systems.
Inventor: WINTON ALEXANDER
Filed: 1906-05-03
Granted: 1907-03-28
Abstract: 10,422. Winton, A., and Anderson, H. B. May 3. Fans.-The shaft of the cooling-fan is driven by toothed gearing from the engine shaft, and the motion is transmitted to the loosely-mounted fan through spring-operated friction surfaces which permit a limited amount of slip at starting. In Fig. 3, the fan is shown loosely mounted between two fixed collars 10, 17 on the shaft 5, and is forced into engagement with the collar 10 by an expanding spiral spring surrounding the boss. A fibre disk 22 may be interposed between the fan and the friction disk. The fan is mounted at the rear of the radiator and is preferably provided with a hood. The blades force the air in the direction of the arrow, and the pressure of the air on the blades increases the friction between the driving-surfaces.
