Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Azo Colouring Matters and Intermediate Products relating thereto.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1902-03-18
Granted: 1903-01-22
Abstract: 6615. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. March 18. Dyes, artificial.-1-Hydroxy-2- diazonaphthalene compounds are produced from the diazotized derivatives of 2-naphthylamine which contain a negative substituent, such as chlorine, bromine, a nitro group, or a sulpho group, in the position 1, and may also contain other halogen atoms, or nitro or sulpho groups, by acting upon these compounds in aqueous solution, or suspension with bodies which bind mineral acids, such, for example, as carbonates, bicarbonates, calcium hydroxide, or the like. By this process the negative group in the position 1 is exchanged for hydroxyl. The following compounds are mentioned as suitable for the process :- 1 chlor-, 1-brom-, and 1-nitro-2-naphthylamine, 2-naphthylamine-1-sulphonic acid, 1- chlor-2-naphthylamine- 5-, 6-, and 7-sulphonic acid, 1-chlor- 6-brom-, 1 : 6- dibromo-, 1 : 5- and 1 : 8-dinitro- 2-naphthylamine, and 2-naphthylamine-1 : 5-, 1-, 6-, and 1 : 7-disulphonic acids. The diazonaphthol compounds thus produced combine with dye-stuff components, for example, alpha-naphthylamine, #-naphthol, 2 : 7- dihydroxynaphthalene, resorcin, m-hydroxydiphenylamine, m-phenylenediamine, 1 : 8- amidonaphthol- 4-, 5-, and 3 : 6- sulphonic acids. The soluble azo dyes thus produced dye unmordanted wool red-brown, brown, brown-violet, or blue shades, which on subsequent treatment with copper salts become red-violet, violet, or blue, or with chromates or chromium salts become blackish-violet, bluish, blue-black, or blackish-green, and are also thereby rendered very fast. Examples are given in which 1-chlor- 2-naphthylamine 5-sulphonic acid and 2-naphthylamine-1 : 5-disulphonic acid are, respectively, diazotized and treated with excess of sodium carbonate, and the diazonaphthol compound thus produced is combined with #-naphthol. The Provisional Specification mentions also other dyestuff components which may be used for making the dyes.

Patent GB-190207469-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Depilating Skins and Furs
Inventor: BILLAUD ANDRE
Filed: 1902-03-27
Granted: 1903-01-22
Abstract: 7469. Billaud, A. March 27. Furs.-Relates to machines for removing from furs the long and stiff hairs known as dog-hairs, while leaving the soft hair untouched. The skin is carried by an apron, which passes over the edge of a bar d and round the rollers c, e, b. All these parts, as well as the rotary brush w which smooths back the soft hair on the upper side of the sharply-folded skin, are carried by a frame comprising arms k, which are reciprocated by means of cams n acting on rollers p. When the frame or carriage k moves towards the left, the rotary brush w<1> rises under the action of levers x, y and cam z, and smooths back the soft hair on the underside of the bar d, leaving the strong and coarse hairs projecting. The brush w<1>then retreats, and the frame kmoves towards the right, the coarse hairs being sheared off between the helically-bladed knife 12 and the fixed blade 14. The feed of the apron is effected by means of worm-and-wheel gearing from a ratchet-wheel carried by the frame k, and co-operating with a pawl, which is rocked by the reciprocation of the frame k, owing to a linkwork connection with a fixed point on the frame of the machine. The shaft o is driven from the main driving-shaft r through toothed gearing t, u. The brushes are driven by belts, that which drives the brush w<1> being tensioned by a spring-pressed jockey pulley which can yield to allow the brush to move towards and from the skin. The knife 12 can be adjusted relatively to the blade 14 by means of sliding bearings and screw threaded adjustment rods. A hand-lever controls the movement of a jockey pulley, which can tighten or slacken the belt which drives the knife 12, which can thus be set in motion or stopped, as required. A clutch is provided for the feed-roller e of the apron, which can be adjusted by hand independently of the step-by-step ratchet gearing.

Title: New Process of Ornamenting Surfaces of Metal
Inventor: HAEUSERMANN THEODOR
Filed: 1902-10-21
Granted: 1903-01-08
Abstract: 22,915. Hõusermann, T. Oct. 21. Drawings to Specification. Dials.-Raised black or bright metal lettering is obtained on a dull silver ground. The whole surface of the metal, which may be brass, may first be rendered dull by etching. Parts may be electroplated with copper, gold, or nickel through openings in ebonite protecting-plates. The whole surface is then coated centrifugally with a chromeglue solution, dried, exposed to light below a negative, developed in an ordinary manner, and heated over a flame to produce a dark-brown resist. The surface is etched for about five minutes in a solution of 14‹ BÚ., containing equal parts of potassium bichromate and sulphuric acid at 66‹ BÚ., with movement and stirring. The surface is then rinsed by spraying, and sponged. A dull etched surface is obtained on the parts not protected by the resist. These parts are thinly coppered in an acid bath, and silvered, electrolytically, the silver ground being thus obtained. The resist is then removed in caustic soda solution, leaving the parts protected by it as bright metal raised above the silver ground. The surface may then be treated with copper carbonate or other substance to blacken or colour the raised metal, silver or gold parts being unaffected. Finally it may be varnished.

Abstract: 5947. Horsnaill, E. W. March 14. Measured quantities, delivering.-A machine for measuring out definite quantities of liquids or seeds or other granular material, or for dividing a quantity of seed &c. into any desired number of equal parts, consists of a drum B, Fig. 2, mounted on journals C so as to receive the grain &c. from the hoppers G and, on rotation by means of a handle H, to deliver it to the funnel J. The measuring- devices consist of two cylinders D, D<1> fitted with pistons d, d', which are connected to a common crosshead E. The sectional area of the cylinder D is ten times that of the cylinder D<1>. The capacities of the cylinders may be regulated, so as to alter the quantity of material delivered by each, without altering their relative capacities. This is effected by raising the pistons d, d' by means of the slotted arm O, Fig. 1, which is pivoted at m to a plate N, and may be held in any position by a thumb-screw o in a curved slot n. A scale 2, 3, 4 ... 19, 20, traversed by the pointed end of the arm O, enables the operator to set the pistons one-half, one-third, &c. of the distance up the measuring-cylinders. To divide a quantity of seed &c. into any number of equal parts, the seed is placed in the large cylinder D, Fig. 2, and the piston d is raised until the level of the seed reaches the top of the cylinder. A thumb-screw, which is loosened to enable the crosshead E to rise, is now tightened, and the seed &c. is emptied from the machine. The arm O is now adjusted to a suitable scale division, and the seed is divided by measuring it out as described above.
