Patent GB-190002368-A (GB)
Title: An Automatic Sheet Separating Attachment for Paper Receiving Machines.
Inventor: MORRISON LEWIS EDWIN
Filed: 1900-02-06
Granted: 1900-03-31
Abstract: 2368. Morrison, L. E. Feb. 6. Feeding sheets.-Means for separating sheets from the bottom of a pile. The pile of sheets B<1> is placed on a table B carried by links 20, 21 pivoted to the frame 10, 22 and reciprocated by a cam 17 engaging an arm 23 fixed to the table. On the shaft 14 is a gear-wheel 16 which through gears 41, 38, 37 drives a suction roller 36, which, when the table B moves the sheets up over the roller, takes hold of the lower one, temporarily, and separates it from the rest of the pile. As the pile of sheets moves over the roller 36, the front ends of the greater part of the sheets ride on and are supported by inclined projections on fingers 44 attached to an extension 13 of the framing. The pile B<1> engages spring-pressed fingers or cushions 46 pivoted at 47. The suction roller has radial perforations communicating with its hollow shaft, or central bore, which is connected by a pipe 32 to an air pump 25. The piston of the pump 25 is moved in one direction by a spring, and in the other by a cam 18 engaging a finger 28 projecting from the piston-rod. The roller 36 may be driven by a toothed segment oscillated by a crank on the shaft 14.

Abstract: 9922. Sanderson, W. B. May 30. Bottles; coppers ; stopper-keys &c.-The bottle a, for containing aÙrated or gas-charged liquids, is formed with a supplementary neck or spout c, which is fitted with a washer g, and is closed by the internal stopper h. The ordinary neck b<1> is screw-threaded to receive the screw stopper, which, in the form shown in Fig. 1, is provided on its cylindrical lower end with a washer k adapted to seat on the conical shoulder j of the neck. The bottle is opened by screwing down the stopper until it displaces the stopper h. The screw stopper, Fig. 1, can be withdrawn from the neck. In a modification, the washer k is replaced by a flat washer, adapted to seat against a square shoulder, and beneath the washer is placed a split spring ring, which prevents the withdrawal of the stopper. This locking-ring, and the analogous ring or catch s, Fig. 3, can, by means of a pair of forceps specially shaped for the purpose, be pressed into a groove in the stopper, to permit the withdrawal of the stopper The washer r, Fig. 3, is of double conical form, and is placed under the head f of the stopper. Stops are provided to prevent the rotation of the washer r on the stopper, and to prevent overscrewing of the stopper. The Provisional Specification also states that the stopper h may close a horizontal seat formed in the neck beneath the spout c, the screw stopper being adapted to hold the stopper h on the seat against the internal pressure.

Granted: 1902-07-17
Abstract: 17,455. Doman, W., and Bullas, S. W. Aug. 31. Acetylene.-Relates to acetylene - generating apparatus of the "water "to carbide" type. The apparatus comprises a number of generators G<1>, G<2>, G<3>, G<4>, connected together in series and supplied with water from a tank T through a cock wc controlled by the gasholder bell B, as shown in Fig. 1. These generators are divided into two sets, capable of being worked independently, by providing cocks at gc, wc<2>, and wc<3> for cutting out either set at will. As shown in Fig. 2, each generator consists of a cylinder G, containing a number of shallow perforated carbide trays t, arranged on a common support at a distance apart much greater than the depth of a tray, so as to facilitate the separation of the lime produced in the reaction. The incoming water is directed down the sides of the cylinder by a rim or flanges D. At each descent of the gasholder bell, water is supplied to one of the generators in quantity sufficient to submerge one of the carbide trays, and, when one generator becomes full, it overflows into the next. The gas generated passes off through a water seal or washer WS, provided with a safety escape V, and thence into the gas-holder H, from which it is supplied through a purifier P to the service pipes.
Patent GB-190120201-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Flavopurpurine.
Filed: 1901-10-09
Granted: 1902-10-09
Abstract: 20,201. Wise, W. L., [Iljinskij, M., and Wedekind & Co., R.]. Oct. 9. Dyes, artificial; oxyanthraquinones.-Consists in a process for separating oxyanthraquinone dyes, viz., pure flavopurpurin, alone or mixed with isopurpurin and alizarin, from non-dyeing oxyanthraquinones, especially anthraflavic acid, isoanthraflavic acid, and mono-oxyanthraquinone, which is based upon the observation that, while the lime lakes of the dyes are insoluble in the presence of an excess of alkali, the lakes of the non-dyeing constituents are soluble. The process is carried out by acting upon the finished dye-stuffs, the finished sodium or potassium melt, the lime melt, or a mixed alkali and lime melt, with caustic alkali and lime in the proportions, respectively, of not less than 100 per cent. and 40 per cent. of the whole amount of oxyanthraquinones present. The lime melts of the dyeing-constituents are thereby completely separated, and the alkali salts of the non-dyeing constituents are obtained in solution. The latter are recovered for further use upon acidifying the alkaline solution, or their sodium salts are obtained by concentrating the filtrate from the lime lake to 20‹ BÚ., if necessary, and crystallizing out. Instead of using lime in the main process, other alkaline earths, such as barium and strontium oxides, nr a salt of one of these metals, may be used. The Provisional Specification also states that magnesia, or oxides of aluminium, chromium, or iron, or a salt of one of these oxides may be used. The process may also be based on the insolubility of the sodium salt of anthraflavic acid in caustic soda lye of 10‹ to 20‹ BÚ., the sodium salt of pure anthraflavic acid being separated by dissolving the finished sodium melts of flavopurpurin of commerce, or mixtures thereof with other dyeing oxyanthraquinones, in water to a strength of 10‹ to 20‹ BÚ., or in caustic soda lye and evaporating down to 10‹ to 20‹ BÚ.

Inventor: MCLELLAN WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-03-19
Granted: 1903-03-19
Abstract: 6760. McLellan, W. March 19. Clip and sleeve joints; joint-making packing; packing, securing in joints of unspecified type.- Relates to the production of fluid-tight joints between cylindrical bodies intended to be co-axial, and is applicable among other things to the making of water-tight joints between electrical cables and tubular projections of fuse boxes, junction boxes, insulators, and the like through which they pass. A strip of joint-making material a, Fig. 1, such as tape, is so wound upon the adjacent portions of two cylindrical bodies b, c located in a cap or sleeve d as to overlap them both. The free end of the strip a is passed through a slot e in the sleeve d, so that the winding can be effected by turning the sleeve d. When the two bodies b<1>, c, Fig. 4, are of different diameters, the tape a is first doubled lengthwise and wound around the smaller body b<1> until the combined diameter is equal to that of the body c, when the cap d is placed in position and the winding is completed as before. Figs. 5 and 7 show forms of caps d with eccentric openings r engaged with flanges k on one of the cylindrical bodies b, the object being to prevent displacement of the tape a. Joints to prevent leakage of steam, gases, or liquids may be of this construction and, by employing strip lead and securing the inside end of the tape, the construction could be used for joints subjected to high pressures. The invention also serves to align the axes of two cylindrical or prismatic bodies, and may be used in cases where it is only desired to centre approximately the adjacent ends of two bodies having rough external surfaces.
