Patent GB-190323926-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Driving Mechanism for Bicycles and the like.
Inventor: WARMINGTON EDWARD JAMES
Filed: 1903-11-04
Granted: 1904-09-22
Abstract: 23,926. Warmington, E. J. Nov. 4. Clutches; brakes.-In driving-mechanism for bicycles &c., pressure in the down-stroke upon the pedals J attached to levers I causes rollers K, L to engage the inner and outer peripheries of flanges M upon discs A, B, the former of which carries the chain-wheel D, while relaxation of all pressure enables a spring or rubber pad 0 to remove the rollers out of engagement with the flange, and the wheel runs free. Stops R limit the backward motion of the levers I, so that, by applying pressure to the pedals and keeping the feet stationary, the rollers connected with the forward pedal are brought into contact with the flange and now act as a brake. The discs are mounted upon a hollow spindle E through which passes a spindle F carrying a pair of cranks G, H. During the upward stroke of each pedal, the slight backward movement of the lever throws the corresponding rollers out of contact with the flange, the driving being meanwhile effected by the rollers connected with the other pedal. If desired, both rollers may be arranged above the pivot of the lever, or only one roller may be used, or two rollers may be adapted to engage the sides of an annular groove in each disc.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Indophenols.
Filed: 1904-12-16
Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 27,499. Abel, C. D., [Akt.-Ges. f³r Anilin Fabrikation]. Dec. 16. Indophenols.-Consists in using acetyl-p-phenylene diamine instead of p-phenylenediamine, for the preparation of indophenols. Acetyl-p-phenylenediamine or a derivative thereof, such as a chlorderivative, together with a phenol, the p-position of which (relatively to the OH group) is free, is oxidized in alkaline solution, by sodium hypochlorite, potassium ferricyanide, or the like, in the usual manner. The indophenol is obtained as a sodium salt, or in the free state. It can be reduced to its leuco compound by, for instance, sodium sulphide ; and the acetyl group can be eliminated by treatment with sodium sulphide at a raised temperature. In the examples, acetyl-p-phenylene diamine and o-cresol or phenol are oxidized by sodium hypochlorite. Other phenols may be used, such as o- or m-chlorphenol, or a chlor-o- or m cresol. These indophenols or their leuco compounds are suitable for making sulphurized dye-stuffs.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Filtering Apparatus.
Inventor: VIAL LOUIS EMILE
Filed: 1904-12-27
Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 28,470. Vial, L. E. Dec. 27. Pressure filters.-The apparatus consists of a cylindrical receptacle 1, Fig. 1, through holes 11 in the cover of which filtering-tubes 12 are passed. The tubes are of cloth or similar material, fixed at the upper end to sockets 14, Fig. 5, which fit tightly into the holes in the cover. The cloth is kept distended by a perforated tube 17, through which passes a rod 16 carrying the base plug 15 of the tube. An annular rim 18 is attached to the cover, and supports cross-bars 19 on which are pivoted lugs 20, which can be brought over the rods 16 so as to hold these tubes down in position during the filtering operation. The liquid, flowing preferably from above the apparatus, enters under pressure by the pipe 4 and aperture 3, and after filtering through the tubes passes out through the holes 11. During part of the operation, clarified liquid may be drawn off through cocks inserted in small holes 13 in the cover, the liquid having been filtered in passing through the accumulated sediment. To clean the filtering-tubes, they are reciprocated vertically. Sediment is withdrawn through the outlet 6, the discharge being sometimes assisted by an agitating-screw 10 fixed on an axis 9 passing vertically through the filter. Coiled springs or other devices may be used instead of the tube 17 to stretch the filter cloths.
