Title: Improvements relating to Terpene-alcohols and to Artificial Perfumes.
Inventor: WETTER JASPER
Filed: 1903-02-14
Granted: 1904-01-28
Abstract: 3543. Wetter, J., [Heine & Co.]. Feb. 14. Terpene alcohols.-Relates to the manufacture of a rose-scented alcohol C10HO18, which may be used as a base for artificial perfumes, and consists in treating linalool, coriandrol, nerol, lavendol, aurantiol, and like unsaturated fatty terpene alcohols of the formula C10H18O, which boil at 195‹-200‹ C. and yield citrals on oxidation with chromic acid, or geraniol, or acetic or other esters of these alcohols, or essential oils containing these alcohols or their esters, or myrcene, linaloene, or other unsaturated fatty hydrocarbons of the formula C10H16, which yield linalools on hydration, with glacial acetic or other organic acids and sulphuric or other mineral acid, or substances, like acid sulphates, or zinc, aluminium or iron chlorides, which act in the same way as mineral acids. Organic acids, such as formic or acetic acid, may be used alone, either with or without the aid of pressure or the addition of acetates, such as sodium acetate, or else acetic or other fatty anhydride or aromatic anhydrides, such as phthalic anhydride, may be employed, with or without the aid of pressure, or the addition of acetates or other organic salts. The product is saponified with caustic alkali, the oil rectified by means of steam, and fractionated in vacuo. The higher boiling fraction which contains terpineol, geraniol, and the new alcohol, is treated with phthalic anhydride or anhydrides of other dibasic acids, thereby converting the primary terpene alcohols into phthalic esters. The esters are then converted into sodium salts by treating with dilute sodium carbonate, extracted with ether, re-precipitated by sulphuric acid, and saponified with potash, and the alcohols precipitated by water are rectified in vacuo, or with steam. The geraniol is removed by adding anhydrous calcium chloride with which it forms a compound insoluble in petroleum ether, and the new alcohol which remains is rectified or fractionated in vacuo or steam after removing the excess of petroleum ether. The product of the reaction of linalool &c. and acetic and sulphuric acids &c. may be treated directly with phthalic anhydride, as above, instead of first fractionating and then saponifying it. The new alcohol boils at 226‹ C. at ordinary pressure, has a specific gravity of 0À882 at 15‹ C., and is optically inactive or slightly dextro-rotatory. The alcohol may be dissolved in water, alcohol, essential or other fatty oil, or other solvents in making perfumes, or else added to other perfumes. For artificial oil of roses, a useful base consists of geraniol, citronellol, citral, phenylethyl alcohol, the new alcohol, and its acetate, while for artificial mignonette scent a useful base consists of benzyl alcohol, geraniol, and the new alcohol.

Title: Improvements in Means for Transmitting Motive Power
Inventor: EASTWOOD ARTHUR CLARKE
Filed: 1903-06-30
Granted: 1903-08-06
Abstract: 14,599. Eastwood, A. C. June 30. Motors, controlling.-Relates to an electrical device to be placed intermediate to a uniformlyrotating synchronous electric motor, or an internal combustion engine, and a shaft to be driven at various speeds. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the motor A is geared by means of the belt a to the field-magnet frame B of an electrical machine, the armature C of which is free to rotate, and is mounted upon the shaft D to be driven, the power being taken from a pulley d. The armature has two commutators c', c<3> and two independent series of windings c, c<1>, Fig. 6, each connected to a commutator. By preference the armature windings have different numbers of turns, so that they may, by any form of controller, be opposed to each other, or used separately, or added together to produce an increase of speed in the driven shaft. The field winding is preferably connected inshunt to the brush terminals of one of the commutators, and an adjustable resistince c<4> is placed in the circuit to facilitate a finer adjustment of the speed by altering the strength of the magnetic field. The current is supplied to the field winding through rings c<5>. In other arrangements, the current for the field winding may be derived from storage batteries, or from the same source as the motor A, or an external source may be employed in conjunction with the two armature windings. In operation, the armature is pulled round after the rotating field-magnet winding B; small variations in speed are obtained by means of the resistance c<4>, and larger variations by altering the method of connecting the armature windings.

Title: Improvement in Metal Sawing Machines
Inventor: WHITLEY ERNEST WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-07-13
Granted: 1903-10-08
Abstract: 15,432. Whitley, E. W. July 13. Sawing.-For sawing girders &c., two reciprocating or circular saws g, g', Fig. 1, are used, which are drawn nearly together by weights n, n<1> or springs &c., and are then both moved in the same direction to complete the cut. The saw-frames e, e' are reciprocated by the connecting-rods j, j<1> along the parallel-spindle guides d, d' secured to the swinging-arms b, b<1>. The frames carry tappets w, w<1>, one of which, when the saws are nearly touching, depresses the lever v or v<1> of the sleeve t or t<1>. Each sleeve has a spiral end, and, on being rotated, moves outwards, engages a boss x, x<1> on one of the arms b, b<1>, and forces the corresponding saw back, leaving the other to finish the cut. Either the tappets w, w<1> or the levers v, v<1> are adjustable. The sleeves may be replaced by a sliding rod of sufficient length to keep the saws apart, and one weight n, n' may be heavier than the other, so as to move both frames in the same direction to finish the cut. One saw may be cutting while the other is on the return stroke, the connecting-rods j, j<1> may be connected to the ends of a centrally-pivoted lever instead of to separate cranks, and the saw frames e, e<1> may be reciprocated on parallel guides which are moved towards each other by feed-screws, ratchet-wheels, and pawls on the frames, one of the ratchet-wheels being thrown out of gear with its feed-screw when the saws are near to each other, and the corresponding saw-frame forced back by the other frame, which is finishing the cut.

Patent GB-190412471-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Safety Valves.
Inventor: ROSS ROBERT LIGHTON
Filed: 1904-06-02
Granted: 1905-04-06
Abstract: 12,471. Ross, R. L., and Walthew, E. J. June 2. Safety-valves ; noise, preventing. - Relates to safety-valves of the type described in Specification No. 22,218, A.D. 1902, in which the escaping steam acts upon a plate or secondary area, its movements being communicated to the valve spindle and assisting in opening the valve. The plate and casing are constructed tu act as a muffling-device. In connection with the spring, a special arrangement of ball-and-socket joints is used to prevent the spring from buckling. Bearing upon or formed in one with the valve a, Fig. 1, which may be of any type, is a spindle c, guided in a sleeve d secured to the casing A. In Fig. 1, the valve is provided with an overhanging lip a', to increase the lifting- action. A rounded enlargement c<1> of the spindle fits into a ball-cup c<2>. The lower extremity of the sleeve d is rounded off at d<1> to fit the ball-cup d<2>. A helical spring e is disposed between the ball-cups. A plate or secondary area f is situated at the top of the valve casing, and is screwed to a cap g. The cap fits over the spindle and rests upon the upper face of the sleeve-support h<1>. The plate is constructed with slots f<1> in its upper edge, the cap g being similarly slotted at its lower edge, so that both may be secured to the spindle by a cottar i. The plate is perforated at intervals around its lower edges f<2> to allow the steam to escape, while small perforations in the upper part of the sleeve-support h<1> allow the steam to get below the cap by way of grooves f<3> cut in its wall. The perforations in the plate cause it to act as a muffling-device. In a modification, shown in Fig. 9, the upper part of the casing is fashioned as a valve seat and the plate is bedded thereon. The cap has perforated flanges f<6>, f<7>, and also four fins f<8>, each covering one-eighth of the inner part of the lower flange of the plate f<x>. The larger perforations f<5> in this flange are arranged in four groups, each occupying half a quadrant. By turning the cap relatively to the secondary area, any proportion of the perforations can be cut out and the sensitiveness of the valve varied. Part of the escaping steam passes into the annular chamber A', and thence through the perforations f<11>, the muffling-effect being thereby increased. In a special arrangement of ball-and-socket joints at the end of the spring in safety-valves, the distance between the centres of oscillation is less than the distance between the plates which compress the spring. This object may be attained by arranging the annular sockets so that they are concave towards the spring. It is claimed that the spring is elongated most when its axis coincides with the axis of the spindle, and will, therefore, have a natural tendency to keep in alignment.

Title: Improvements relating to the Decanting of Beer and like Liquids under Pressure
Inventor: SELLENSCHEIDT CARL
Filed: 1904-10-11
Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 21,888. Sellenscheidt, C. Oct. 11. Bottling.-In an apparatus for bottling beer and like liquids, involving the use of a perforated plug cock f; which is oscillated so as to make its ports register with those in a fixed head e leading to the reservoir a, the bottle is finally opened to the atmosphere to suitable ports whereby, on the removal of the bottle from the filling head, the discharge of the liquid remaining in the filling- tube n is facilitated. The bottle, during its oscillation, is fastened on to a rubber sleeve m on a plug l by segmental prongs h, Fig. 3, which are mounted so as to be capable of both vertical and horizontal motion, and a spoon p, mounted on the lever which actuates the oscillating plug cock f, is provided, against which the bottle is gripped. The bottle, after being opened to the atmosphere, is oscillated and brought into connection with the gas in the upper portion of the reservoir a through an annular space inside the sleeve m, ports s, r, and a vertical pipe q, Fig. 3. Further oscillation of the bottle opens ports which admit the liquid to the bottle, and carry away the displaced air. During the return oscillation, the pressure in the bottle is relieved by the port s registering with an air port in the fixed head, and, when the bottle is in the position for removal, the liquid-supply pipe n is also open to the atmosphere, and the liquid therein discharged into the bottle. The reservoir a comprises several suitably-connected cylinders, each of which may be provided with a filling- apparatus, made readily detachable to facilitate cleaning. A portion y' of the reservoir is of glass to enable the contents to be inspected, and a float z is provided to control the level of the liquid.
