Granted: 1902-10-16
Abstract: 23,851. Sch³ttauf, R. Nov. 25. Dark slides.-Relates to a simple method of constructing dark slides so as to secure coincidence between the supports for the sensitized surface inside the slide, and the tenons or fillets outside the slide, which fit into the back of the camera. Figs. 7 and 8 show in plan and cross-section one form of the dark slide. In this case, the supports of the sensitized surfaces of the photographic plates are transverse plates b, c, fixed at the ends of the frame a of the dark slide. The outside supports of the slide b<0>, c<0> are short plates of metal soldered on the supporting-faces of band c. Exact coincidence between the two supporting-surfaces is thus secured. In a modification, the plates b, c pass to the outside, and in this case there is a distance between the two surfaces equal to the thickness of the plates b or c. In another modification, corner pie es are used instead of the transverse plates.

Granted: 1902-02-20
Abstract: 24,468. Imray, O., [Chambers, J. A.]. Dec. 2. Glass furnaces.-Relates to the production of large glass cylinders by drawing from a body of molten metal, the cylinders being subsequently opened out to form sheets &c. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a vertically-sliding frame 15 is adapted to receive a blow-pipe 19 9 having a ball of glass on its end to form the neck 36. The pipe is lowered into the molten metal in a movable trough 3. and the neck is blown by air &c. from a reservoir 24, the air passing through pipes 23. 21, 20, and the supply being regulated by cocks 44, 37. The frame 15 is then raised by the cord 28 being wound on a drum 30 suitably driven by a motor, this movement resulting in the drawing of a glass cylinder as shown. The supply of air is increased during the drawing by the cock 37 being gradually opened by the action of a counterweight 27. A ring 13, through which water circulates, surrounds the cylinder, and serves to cool the glass. The cylinder is separated from the molten metal, and, after the removal of the blow-pipe, is transferred to a table to be cracked and opened. The trough 3 can be lowered into the heating - chamber 2 by means of a lever 5 ; the cooling-ring 13 is then removed, and the opening in the top of the chamber is closed by a cover, so as to keep the glass heated for the next drawing operation. As shown in Fig. 1, the chamber 2 is formed adjacent to the furnace 10, so that the glass can be ladled into the trough 3 as required. In another arrangement, the furnace is formed with a front extension into which the glass flows, this extension being heated by gas burners &c. enclosed in a chamber, and a refractory cylinder being provided to keep the heated gases from the drawn cylinder. Fig. 6 shows a further modification in which the glass flows from the furnace 10<11> into an extension heated by the furnace gases, and if necessary also by burners 53. The refractory cylinder 49 rests on a floating ring 51. In this arrangement, the blow-pipe 18<1> is carried by a frame 15<1> sliding on uprights 17<1>.

Patent GB-190226353-A (GB)
Title: Process for the Manufacture of Dimethyl- and Diethyl-amido Antipyrine.
Inventor: MAJERT WILHELM
Filed: 1902-11-29
Granted: 1903-11-26
Abstract: 26,353. Majert, W. Nov. 29. Dimethyl- and diethyl-1-phenyl-2 : 3-dimethyl-4- amido-5-pyrazolones are produced by reacting with halogen-acetic or halogen-propionic acids upon 1-phenyl - 2 : 3 - dimethyl - 4 - amido - 5 - pyrazolone (amido-antipyrine), whereby compounds of the constitution C11H11N2O.N(CH2.COOH)2 and C11H11N2O.N[CH(CH3)COOH]2 are obtained, and then splitting off carbon dioxide from these compounds. The process is carried out, for example, by beating the hydochloride of 1-phenyl-2 :3- dimethyl-4-amido-5-pyrazolone, or its hydrochloride, with 2¢ molecular proportions of chlor- or brom-acetic or -propionic acid and 3¢ molecular proportions of sodium carbonate, or other substance capable of fixing halogen acid, on a water bath, then on an oil bath at 120‹-130‹ C. until no more carbon dioxide is evolved, and the clear liquid is then further heated with sulphuric acid in an autoclave at 150‹-160‹ C. for 4-5 hours. Alternately, the diacetic and dipropionic acid derivatives of amido-antipyrine may be first separated by a mineral acid and common salt, and then converted into the dimethyl and diethyl compounds by heating them above their melting- points, or by boiling them with a mineral acid, or by heating them therewith under pressure. In another modification, three molecular proportions of amido antipyrine are heated with one molecular proportion of halogen-acetic or -propionic acid alone, and the resulting halogenide of amidoantipyrine is precipitated by common salt before the diacetic or dipropionic derivative is further treated to split off carbon dioxide.

Abstract: 26,574. Carolan, E. A., [General Electric Co.]. Dec. 2. Moulding. - Relates to an apparatus, primarily intended for washing and so renovating foundry sand, but applicable also for washing other materials. The sand is delivered into a hopper 13, Figs. 3 and 4, by a belt conveyer 12. Water from a pipe 15 enters the hopper at the same time, and the mixed sand and water pass by a spout 16 into an inclined rotating cylinder 2, which rests on rollers 3. One roller axle 6 is driven through gearing from an electric motor 4. The cylinder 2 has internal radial vanes 10, which taper towards the upper end of the cylinder. The water escapes through the opening 9 in the cover of the lower end of the cylinder, while the sand is carried upwards by the vanes 10, and slides from the vanes into an inclined trough 18. The sand is fed along the trough 18 by a screw 20 mounted on a spindle 21 which is driven by a chain from the spindle 6, and is discharged through a spout 24 either directly into the drying-oven or on to a conveyer 25. Unburned clay and molasses water aud, in some cases, silica are added to the washed and dried sand.

Filed: 1902-12-08
Granted: 1903-12-08
Abstract: 27,016. Allison, C. A. [Kern, S. M.]. Dec. 8. Telemeters ; telescopes.-A telescope B is fixed to a bed-plate A, the rear edge of which forms a base line for trigonometrical observations. A second telescope B<2> is pivoted to the base A and geared to a pointer and scale, which, when the telescopes are simultaneously directed to a distant object, indicates the range. The frame b<2> to which the telescope B<2> is fixed carries a nut which engages with a screw b<4> operated by a nut E. The other end of this screw b<4> is differentially threaded, and engages with a pivoted sector c, the other end of which engages with a pinion on the axis of the indicator. Back-lash is automatically taken up by a spring d<9>. In this way the movement of the telescope B<2> is magnified so much that the pointer may make several circuits of the dial in taking a range. A figure on the sector c showing through an opening in the dial indicates the number of the concentric scale on which the range must be read off. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the mounting. The table A is mounted upon a horizontal axle A<1> carried by a standard f, the lower end of which is supported in a cup-and-ball bearing f<2>. A quadrangular frame g', fitted with four levelling-screws g<3>, is clamped to the standard f. For adjusting, the table A is fitted with a pendent quadrant a<4>, which engages with a worm on a horizontal shaft mounted at the lower end of an arm f<10> on the shaft A. The rotation of the instrument about a vertical axis is effected by a worm and quadrant f<7>.

Title: Improvements relating to Dynamo Electric Machines
Inventor: PARSONS CHARLES ALGERNON
Filed: 1903-05-30
Granted: 1904-05-26
Abstract: 12,408. Parsons, C. A., and Stoney, G. G. May 30. Field magnets.-Consists in obtaining in continuous-current dynamos, by means of fixed windings, a practically fixed line of commutation at all loads without sparking, and an increase in the allowable ampÞre turns per inch of the armature. The field magnets a are wound with shunt coils b, b<1>, and have pole-pieces c, c'. A fixed series winding is placed around the armature space d, and consists of two coils e, f in series with the armature, embedded in open slots 1 to 48 where they occupy the polar faces, and carried by grooved non-magnetic segments i and cylindrical extensions thereof between and outside the polar faces. Fig. 3 shows the winding, the right-hand spiral being a plan of the lower half, and the left-hand spiral an inverted plan of the upper half. The coil e lies nearer to the armature in the slots than the second coil f, which lies parallel with it, but takes a different path as indicated. Any other winding, such as a drum winding, giving the same result, may be used. An arrangement for a fourpole dynamo is also described. In this case, the winding consists of four spirals of a single conductor, the central line of each spiral being half way between the adjacent pole-pieces. The conductor is made up of strips of copper placed side by side. Fixed series windings may also be applied to dynamos with horse-shoe magnets. The ampÞre turns in the fixed coil exceed those on the armature, and this excess annuls the distortion of the field, and also provides a sufficient counter electromotive force between the coils of the armature when at the position for commutation, so as to balance the self-induction of commutation when it takes place. The conductors are preferably placed in open slots, but the slots may be closed with iron or in tunnels. In this case, the thickness of iron must be small. The polar plane of the fixed series coil may be coincident with the plane of commutation at no load, or placed at an angle thereto. Armatures, mounting. The coils e, fare divided horizontally at x-x, Fig. 1, the upper half fitting in the half pole-pieces c, c<1>, and supported by the brass connecting-piece k and lateral extensions. To remove the armature, the field magnet a with the shunt coils b is first removed, the line of separation being indicated by the dotted line y-y, the binding-screws l, m, Fig. 3, connecting the upper and lower parts of the coils, are loosened, and the upper part of the coils with the piece k and lateral extensions is lifted out by means of the eye-bolt n.
