Title: The Manufacture and Production of Yellow Colouring-matters from Benzoin.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1897-06-19
Granted: 1898-05-14
Abstract: 14,919. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik]. June 19. Dyes, artificial.-Yellow dyes, which yield upon chrome-mordanted wool shades fast against fulling, are produced by stirring benzoin into a solution of gallic acid, or of symmetric dioxybenzoic acid, in sulphuric acid of 66‹ BÚ., and continuing the stirring for about 24 hours. The mixture is then poured into water, and the precipitated colouring- matter is prepared as a yellow paste which resembles alizarin and is soluble in alkalies. The product obtained from dioxybenzoic acid yields greener shades than that from gallic acid.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Draught-regulating Apparatus for Furnaces.
Inventor: WEILL ALEXANDRE
Filed: 1900-05-12
Granted: 1901-04-20
Abstract: 8785. Weill, A. May 12. Dampers, operating by movement of fire-doors. Relates to apparatus for allowing the flue damper of a steam boiler or the like to close when the firedoor is opened, and for opening it again when the door is closed. The fire-door is connected to a rod a, which is attached to an arm g on a rocking shaft n. On this shaft is a cam o operating the valve v of a cataract cylinder R controlling the movement of the damper. The arm g also operates a tappet lever k to open a valve c supplying steam to a cylinder B, the lever k having pivoted on it a loose finger i resting against a stop h, so that it is only operated by the movement of the lever g in one direction. The damper is opened against a counterbalance weight by the depression of the piston in the steam cylinder B, and is kept closed by water above the piston in the cylinder R until the valve v is opened, ,the two pistons being rigidly connected by the frame shown. On opening the fire-door, the rod d moves to the right, Fig. 1. The finger i yields without moving the lever k, but the valve v is opened by the cam o. The damper then closes. On closing the door, the arm g engages the finger i, which now carries the lever k with it, and opens the valve c. The piston b is thus depressed, and the damper re-opened, the valve v opening by itself to allow the entry of water into the top of the cylinder R. The valve c is closed to steam and opeued to the atmosphere, on the completion of the downward stroke of the piston b, by a tappet m acting on the counterweighted lever l.

Abstract: 21,192. Reck, A. B. Oct. 22. Air supply, regulating.-Relates to hot-water heating-apparatus wherein steam or air is introduced into, or steam is developed in, the circulating-water in such a manner as to produce a suction effect to accelerate the motion of the water, and comprises means for regulating the admission of air to a boiler furnace. The hotwater apparatus is of the kind described in Specifications Nos. 14,473 and 14,474, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Heating]. In the apparatus shown in the Figure, the heater H, connected with the return main A, receives steam from the supply pipe D through the pipe E and valve F, and the separator tank S is connected with the main pipe B and the return pipe A and with the float chamber Q, the overflow pipe N for water, and the pipe U for the escape of steam and air. The float R governs the valve F, the rod T passing tightly through the chamber Q and through the tube X. The main escape pipe V is open to the atmosphere or is connected with a pump. The valve F controlled by the float R may be placed in the escape pipe U, and the overflow pipe N is then connected to a special return pipe. The draught regulator of the steam boiler for the heater H may, in some cases, be controlled by the float R, or, when the water is heated directly by a boiler and not by steam, the draught regulator of this boiler is governed by the float.
