Title: The Manufacture or Production of Dye-stuffs.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD

Granted: 1898-05-28
Abstract: 15,478. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. June 29. Dyes, artificial.-Relates to dyes of the class described in Specification No. 3452, A.D. 1897. Colouring - matters of the diphenylnaphthylmethane series, which contain an amido group in the ortho position to the methane carbon, and dye wool in an acid bath greenish-blue shades fast to alkalies, are produced by the following processes :- Alkylated diamidobenzhydrols, for example, the tetramethyl compound, are condensed with such a-naphthylamine sulphonic acids as in combination with diazo compounds yield azo products containing the azo group in the ortho position to the amido group, for example, a1a2- and a,a3-naphthionic acids, and a1-naphthylamine-a3#4- and a2#4- disulphonic acids. The leuco sulphonic acid thus produced is converted into a leuco sulphinic-sulphonic acid by diazotizing it and treating the diazo compound with sulphurous acid and copper powder. The sulphinic-sulphonic acid is separated and the sulphinic group is oxidized by means of sodium hypochlorite or the like to the corresponding sulphonic group ; the solution of the leuco sulphonic acid is oxidized by lead peroxide in the usual manner to the dye stuff sulphonic acid, which is precipitated by common salt.

Title: Improvements in Steam Engines.
Inventor: LENTZ HUGO
Filed: 1899-01-26
Granted: 1899-11-18
Abstract: 1875. Lentz, H. Jan. 26. Compound engines; valves and valve gear.-The trunk piston E, reciprocating the connecting-rod D, has valve-controlled openings 7 and 8 which place the chambers 5 and 6 in communication, and open the chamber 6 to exhaust, respectively. When the piston is nearest the crank 1, steam is admitted to the chamber 5 by the valve 15, rotated from an eccentric on the shaft 2, and the chamber 6 exhausts to the closed crank chamber 3 and pipe 4. When the piston is in the position shown in Fig. 1, the inlet port 16 is closed, and the extension 11 of the connecting-rod shifts the pivoted valve 9 to open the port 7 and close the passage 8 so that steam from the chamber 5 expands in the chamber 6, and operating on the maximum area of the piston E drives it back. By removing the valve 15 the engine works non-expansively.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Acetylene Gas Lamps.
Inventor: HAWS JOHN R
Filed: 1899-03-02
Granted: 1899-12-30
Abstract: 4560. Haws, J. R., [Haws, R. C.]. March 2. Acetylene lamps. -In table and other lamps, the carbide e is raised by a spring c to compensate for the consumption and discharge the residue into the base a, of which the vertical part is made with concentric walls to form, in conjunction with water and a tube i depending from the detachable water chamber h, a liquid seal. A gas chamber j, attached by bayonet joints k to a flange m on the water chamber, has small holes n near its lower end, through which water passes to the interior of the chamber j, and thence flows through a hole p in the tube o to the carbide. Should the gas be generated more quickly than it is consumed, the water is forced back through the holes n, through which the gas itself escapes in the event of the pressure becoming excessive.

The joints are made by expanding the extremities of the pipes, applying flanges or unions having rounded shoulders which abut against the backs of the extremities or lips, and inserting between the latter a washer of hard metal or alloy, formed with concave faces to receive the rounded lips of the expanded tube ends. Separate rings with rounded shoulders may be employed. The flanges may have annular edges to prevent horizontal displacement. A union joint effected by means of a sleeve is also described in the Specification. A duplex key shown in Figs. 11 and 12 is adapted to hold the male members of the union while the female member is turned.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus and Method for the Preparation of Artificial Human Milk.
Inventor: BLACKLER HENRY JOHN
Filed: 1899-09-18
Granted: 1900-07-07
Abstract: 18,798. Blackler, H. J., and Burgess, W. T. Sept. 18. Milk, treating to produce artificial human milk.- Relates to domestic apparatus for removing a portion of the casein and adding additional milk sugar or other substances to milk. A graduated vessel A is filled with milk up to the zero mark, and is allowed to stand until the cream has risen. Separated milk is then drawn off by means of a bent tube e, which is secured by a stopper d in a neck c and which can be turned downwards when desired, until the reading in the vessel A is 6. A vessel G, graduated so that the zero mark indicates the amount of milk sugar required to convert the whole of the milk in the vessel A, and the graduations show the additional amounts required to compensate for the sugar withdrawn with the separated milk, is then filled to the mark 6 and emptied into the vessel A, which is then filled to the zero mark with water or with medicated water or barley water, gelatine water, lime water, white of egg and water, &c. After stirring, the milk is ready for use. This arrangement permits of variable amounts of casein &c. being removed or added. The vessel A is provided with a lid as shown. In a modification, the tube e is replaced by a siphon, the descending limb of which reaches to the division 6. The milk sugar may be weighed by having weights graduated to correspond with the graduations on the vessel G.

Title: Improvements in Steam Engines.
Inventor: DALLEY EDWIN
Filed: 1900-04-06
Granted: 1901-02-23
Abstract: 6419. Dalley, E. April 6. Stop gear.-Consists in means for stopping the engine in case it runs above or below its normal speed, or if any of the ropes or belts transmitting the power from the engine break or become defective. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus in side elevation. The governor rod A is connected with the rod A<1>, by which the valve gear is regulated, through the medium of a tripping-device at D. When any extreme movement of the rod A occurs, the lever H strikes against one or other of the stops J or I and releases the connection between the rods A and A<1>, thereby, owing to the action of the weight W, causing the steaming-valves to close and remain closed. Also across the face of the driving-pulley L is disposed a bar K, which, on being struck by the rope or belt, releases a catch Q, and allows the weight W<1> to move the stop J so as to act on the lever H with the same result as before.

Granted: 1900-11-17
Abstract: 16,380. Thompson, W. P., [Vereinigte Maschinenfabrik Augsburg & Maschinenbauaktiengesellschaft N³rnberg, A. G.]. Sept. 14. Weirs.-Relates to a weir which can be easily opened against the action of alluvium, ice, or similar material, a sectional elevation being shown in Fig. 1. Extending completely across the top of the weirwall is a beam d, on which rests a roller a, constructed of strong iron plates or the like, of radius about equal to the height of the normal water level b above the beam d. The ends of the roller rest in quadrants q, and apertures in the end-faces allow water to pass in or out of the roller. Towards each end of the roller a chain-wheel i is mounted and is rotated from a motor t, by means of the chain k passing round the wheels i, l, m and having its ends fixed in the ground. Rotation of the wheel i effects an engagement between a toothed ring on the roller and an inclined rack e and so raises the roller to the dotted position a<1>. In a modification, the rack is horizontal.

Title: Improvements in the Formation and Closing of Tins for Condensed Milk, Cream, Butter and other Foods, Chemicals, Paints, and other articles requiring to be kept Air-tight and Liquid-tight.
Inventor: WILKINSON ROBERT HOUGHTON
Filed: 1902-05-02
Granted: 1903-02-26
Abstract: 10,178. Wilkinson, R. H. May 2. Grant of Patent refused. Metal, sheet, seaming and joining. - Relates to the formation and closing of tins and boxes for containing milk, cream, butter, and other food, chemicals, paints, and other articles required to be kept airtight. The upper edge of the tin is flared, and the lid c, which is spun in grooves and formed with a peripheral channel, is placed over the edge, so that the tin and its cover are in contact for, say, an eighth of an inch. The edge cf the lid is then bent round in an ordinary machine and compressed so that eventually a vertical fivefold thickness is produced. A joint-making material, preferably such as is not soluble in the contents of the tin, is provided. When soluble, it is desirable to wet the joint after the first bending has been done and to spin in order to obtain the final compression. Among the jointing materials may be mentioned collodion, solutions of alkaline silicate, india-rubber, glucose with or without glue, casein, plaster of Paris, and so on.
