Inventor: ZANDER CHARLES GUSTAV
Filed: 1904-12-12
Granted: 1905-12-07
Abstract: 27,023. Zander, C. G. Dec. 12. Drawings to Specification. Producing coloured photographs.-A colour scheme for use in any process of photo-mechanical colour reproduction is based on the use of the four fundamental monochromatic constituents of white light which approximate to magenta red, lemon yellow, emerald green, and ultra marine blue. The red and green and the yellow and blue form two pairs of complementary colours, and by printing produce black. The limits for allowable variation in the spectral colours are wave-lengths between 6000 and 5600, x 10<-7> mm. for the yellow, 5500 and 5000 for the green, 4900 and 4200 for the blue, and for the red the hue complementary to the chosen green. In the colour records taken through filters on colour-sensitive plates, there should be overlapping in the green and red records of the D and G lines, and in the yellow and blue records in the region of the E, b lines. The mixing areas of the colour scheme, the overlapping, and the result in the pro duction of spectrum colours are illustrated by diagrams in the Specification.

Title: Improvements in Dyeing Machines.
Inventor: WATERS DANIEL FRANCIS
Filed: 1905-01-07
Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 360. Waters, D. F. Jan. 7. Dyeing.-Hanks are bung on parallel rotatable sticks, which preferably have recesses between their angles and are supported in a movable frame hung in a wooden vat. The vat has a false floor 6 which provides passages 7, 8 through which the liquor has free access to the heating-coil 10 and a perforated pipe 11. Steam or other heating- medium is supplied through a pipe 13 controlled by a valve 14. Cross-bars 71, having eye-bolts 75 for lifting, rest upon the sides 2 of the vat and carry by metal straps 72 the side bars 50 of the yarn frame. These side bars are connected by end bars 52, 53, and, when the machine is required for yarn which must be stretched during dyeing, hangers 54, 55 are provided carrying lower side bars 57 which may be adjustably secured, e.g. by pins 60 inserted in apertures 61, 62 in the hangers. The upper yarn sticks 63 are rotated by a bar 66 acting through pawls 67 on ratchet-wheels 65, all mounted between the parallel plates of the side bar 50. The bar 66 may be reciprocated on the bolts 68 by means of a hand lever 43 fulcrumed on a bracket 47 secured to the side bar 50, but is shown connected by a detachable rod 40 to an eccentric 38, so that the sticks are automatically rotated step by step, in definite relation with the continuous rotation of the liquor-circulating wheel 18. These automatic means may be dispensed with. The wheel 18 rotates in the direction indicated in the chamber 15, formed by the partition 16 carried against cleats 17 attached to the side walls 2, and is stated to circulate the liquid uniformly in a stream the full width of the vat over the top of the partition 16, the upward flow in the chamber 15 being also aided by convection from the heating- coil 7. The wheel 18 consists of a number of blades 21, radiating from, and parallel to, its axis and secured at their opposite ends to the flanged heads 23, respectively provided with alined shafts rotating in stuffing-boxes in the side walls 2. One of these shafts carries fast and loose pulleys for driving, and also a pinion 34 engaging with the gear-wheel 35 that carries the eccentric 38. A cover 82 has battens 83 which rest on flanges 81 on the bracket 47 and straps 72. The sticks 63 are preferably of square cross-section with concave recesses 77, preferably their whole length, but sticks of other polygonal cross-sections, such as triangular, with similar recesses, may be used. The angles of any of the sticks used engage the yarn, and thus the yarns are rotated in the liquor so as to be uniformly dyed.

Patent GB-190508555-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Shaft Furnaces for Smelting, Cement Burning, and other purposes.
Inventor: TIMM FRIEDRICH CARL WILHELM
Filed: 1905-04-20
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 8555. Timm, F. C. W. April 20. Blast furnaces; linings; charging and discharging. - To protect the fireproof lining of blast and like furnaces for reducing, smelting, cintering, &c., an inner lining is provided, which may be made to descend gradually with the charge. In the furnace shown, the lining A is enclosed in a metal casing B, and an inner lining E of fireproof material, or of the material under treatment, is built up in blocks. A layer of these blocks is first built, and the charge is introduced until it reaches to the level of the top of the layer. Another layer is then built and material again introduced, the process being repeated until the top layer is reached. As the charge descends with the working of the furnace, the inner lining E moves with it, and additional layers of blocks are added as required between a ring J supported on brackets L at the mouth, and the outer lining A. The charge, in separate layers or mixed, is thrown on an upper bell M at the mouth, from which it is fed on to a second bell N and into the furnace, by alternately raising and lowering the bells by means of chains R. The waste gases escape through an outlet Q carried by supports P from the brackets L. In order to permit of access of air through the inner lining E, hand or machine tools are inserted through tuyeres C, by means of which holes are made in the lining as it descends with the charge. Cooling-boxes H are provided below the tuyeres to solidify the charge near the openings thus made in the lining E, in order that the outer lining A may be protected. As the charge becomes finished, it is withdrawn through doors G by lowering a ram F, the solid crust on the surface of the charge being held by spindles S screwed through holes D, or by other means. Instead of the lining E being made of bloeks, an annular templet may be provided, the material for the lining being placed in the space between the templet and the outer lining A. The inner lining may be made of easily reducible ores mixed with silicious matter and powdered coke, and a silicide of iron of high percentage may be obtained, the inner lining permitting the use of a blast rich in oxygen. The outer lining A may be replaced by a water jacket, in which case the charge is drawn off in a molten state, and the inner lining E need not pass through the furnace so rapidly, but may be clamped in the lower part of the furnace, and allowed to descend occasionally with the charge.

Title: Improvements in Variable-speed Driving Gear for Cycles and Mechanically Propelled Vehicles.
Filed: 1905-06-07
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 11,917. Birmingham Small Arms Co., and Pougher, C. F. June 7. Variable-speed gearing ; clutches ; shaft couplings. -In a three-speed gear for motor and other cycles &c., having features similar to the variable-speed gear described in Specification No. 8460, A.D. 1905, two eccentric and two concentric intergearing elements are adapted to be more or less locked together or allowed to run entirely free. An eccentric i carrying the driving-pinion j also carries clutch teeth m<1>, m<2>. For the low speed, the teeth m<2> engage stationary teeth n<1>, the teeth m<1> being entirely disengaged from the teeth j<1> upon the pinion, so that the hub is driven through a concentric ring k, an eccentric ring p, and a ring h preferably secured to the hub by means of ribs. On the eccentric and clutch teeth being moved towards the right into the position shown, the pinion is locked to the ring k and an intermediate speed results, while, when the eccentric is moved still farther until teeth q engage teeth q<2>, the ring p becomes locked and the gear turns as a whole to give the high speed. The boss b of the chainwheel is connected to the driving-pinion by means of a floating ring b<5>, which, provided on both faces with T or other shaped studs b<7> to engage radial grooves in the two parts, is thus free to slide independently, but must rotate with the boss and pinion. For changing the gear, an externally screw-threaded bifurcated slide g, passing through slots e<1> in a stationary cone, is operated by a nut f turned by a rack f<2>. The slide has an inner part-collar piece which is terminally flanged to engage an eccentric bearing-block o and a groove m<4> in the eccentric i, the block being pressed against the flange by a spring r. A ring n carrying the teeth n' is prevented from turning by a wing engaging the edges of the slide, a spring n<4> being interposed to press the ring against a shoulder c<1> upon the axle. To facilitate the engagement of the clutches, the teeth q, m<1> are cut upon rings which are provided with tongues to enter gaps of greater width upon external flanges of the eccentric parts o, i, split wires s, s<1> preventing lateral displacement of the rings. A plate t upon the part k and a plate t<1> carried by the ring h prevent displacement of the gear rings.
