Abstract: 12,195. Spence, W. L. June 12. Air-heating stoves. -Relates to airheating furnaces or stoves, in w h i c h the products of combustion are mixed with fresh air before being led away for utilization for drying animal or vegetable matters, grain, timber, or sand moulds, or for other purposes. With the construction of stove shown in Fig. 1, air under pressure is supplied at P to the air box A below the cylindrical fire-pot F, in which fuel is burnt on the grate G. The walls of the fire-pot are formed with channels H, through which air is conducted from the box A to mix with and consume the products of combustion as they pass to the annular combustion chamber R. To cool down the mixture before it passes away through the dust-collector S to the outlet 0, an additional supply of cold air is delivered through openings J. By means of a slide valve V, operated as shown, more or less of the cold air may be discharged through the ejector E directly to the outlet. The action of the ejector is to draw the hot gases from the stove. The cover may be raised and lowered to serve as a damper, being provided with slotted projections engaging pins which support it when raised as shown. When lowered it entirely closes the top of the fire-pot and the passages H. The fire-pot may be in one piece with the lining of the outer casing, the annular space R being then replaced by a series of corresponding passages. Fig. 5 shows a modified construction, in which the fire-pot is annular and the combustion chamber central. Fig. 4 shows another form in plan, with the cover removed. In this case the combustion chamber is at the side of the fire-pot. According to the Provisional Specification, when applying such stoves for drying moulds, they may be removably connected to a fixed cold-air duct by means of stand pipes placed at intervals, and the heated air may be conveyed by short flexible or jointed pipes.

Abstract: 11,358. Willcox, B., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. June 3. Dyes, artificial.-Relates to new indoxyl derivatives and indigoes. (1) Halogen substituted indoxyls are produced by acting upon indoxyl, or bodies such as indoxylic acid which are easily transformed into indoxyl, with halogens in neutral or acid solution or suspension. The products are yellow to greenish-yellow bodies difficultly soluble in water or acids, and they are converted into indigo dyes both on and off the fibre. Examples are given in which brom-indoxyl produced from indoxyl, or the indoxyl melt of Specification No. 9291, A.D. 1894, in hydrochloric acid by the action of bromine ; brom-indoxyl is produced in neutral solution by the action of bromine on indoxyl ; and chlor-indoxyl is produced by the action of calcium hypochlorite on indoxyl in presence of acetic acid. (2) A brom-indigo is produced by acting on brom-indoxyl with oxidizing-agents, and also by treatment with hot hydrochloric acid, boiling with alcoholic sodium acetate, or heating with organic bases such as pyridine, diethylaniline, or aniline. When chlor- or iodo-indoxyl are similarly treated, they are converted into ordinary indigo. (3) A new bromindigo, or a leuco compound thereof, is produced by acting upon a mixture of brom-indoxyl and indoxyl in equimolecular proportions with an aqueous solution of caustic alkali, and blowing air through the solution. The brom-indigoes obtained as above described sublime, yielding deep violet powders. They differ from ordinary indigo in dyeing cotton more violet or redder shades.
