Inventor: LEE ALEXANDER GEORGE
Filed: 1900-12-17
Granted: 1901-12-14
Abstract: 23,019. Lee, A. G. Dec. 17. Clothes-hanging apparatus; towel racks.-Racks for trousers, towels, fabrics, or the like consist of a frame a pivoted to brackets c, which are secured to a backing d adapted for suspension, or directly to a door &c. From the sides of the rack are suspended, by links i, clips or plates f, in which the articles are held, or over which they are placed. The clips preferably consist of plates pivoted together at one end g and secured at the other end by a ring h. The rack, which is normally turned to the vertical position, as shown in Fig. 2, is held in this position by weighted or spring catches, which are moved aside by the frame when this is turned to the vertical position, and which then automatically move back to retain it, and is held in the horizontal position, as shown in Fig. 1, by suitably-covered stops which engage with the rear ends of the frame. The links i are of different lengths, to permit the clips to range one behind the other. Modifications of the frame, and of the arrangement of the brackets are described.

Title: Improvements in Systems of Regulation for Flash-boilers
Inventor: THOMSON ELIHU
Filed: 1902-03-24
Granted: 1902-06-25
Abstract: 7175. Thomson, E. March 24. Instantaneous generators ; feedwater, supplying and controlling.-Relates to a system or method of operating a flash boiler, such as for a motor road vehicle, at high temperatures, and consists in forcing water into the boiler and maintaining it continuously under a pressure sufficient to overcome the tendency for the water to pass into the spheroidal state. The boiler 1 is connected to the engine 4 through the throttle valve 6, and is supplied with water at a pressure of about 500 or 600 lbs. by the feed-pump 2. The pump 2 is preferably driven from the engine, and the effective stroke of the pump is varied by varying the length of the piston stroke or by bye-passing a certain amount of water. The piston-rod is connected to the frame 10 through the rubber buffers 12, and the operating-eccentric 9 is also connected to the frame 10, to fnrnish a variable stroke. Fig. 2 shows a bye-pass regulator for the pump. The bye-pass valve 18 is spring-pressed, and when the pressure in the feed-pipe 13 exceeds a certain maximum the valve 18 opens and permits water to return to the suction pump. A suitable heating-device for the boiler is employed, a hydrocarbon burner 19 and fuel tank 22 being shown in Fig. 1.

Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 774. Eltz, V. Jan. 12. Heating by electricity.-Air i s heated to a desired temperature by an electric current passed through a coil c. The cover e of the heating- chamber a has a notch with two terminals f, g in the electric circuit. The circuit between these terminals is made and broken to regulate the temperature by a piston k carried by a stem h on a float i operated by liquid in a tube q inside the chamber a. The descent of the piston k below the terminals is prevented by projections s. A cover p with a handle is provided, A spring interrupter may be used to open and close the circuit sharply. In this case, a long float, half immersed in the liquid, is used, and the piston k carries a rod and a button normally below a spring which does not yield until a certain pressure is applied to its upper or under side. In a modification, the piston k is operated by an electromagnet arranged in a shunt circuit, two terminals in which are arranged in the path of the float in the tube q. In another modification, as the temperature rises, additional resistances are placed in circuit, the piston k sliding in contact with a continuous contact at one side and a series of contacts at the other side. The contacts may be adjusted to vary the temperature.

Granted: 1904-02-04
Abstract: 8575. Lake, H. H., [Oehler, K.]. April 15. Dyes, artificial.-Consists in making unit primary mordant disazo dyes by causing diazotized nitro-oamidophenols, or their derivatives containing at least one nitro group, to react in alkaline solution upon the monoazo dye-stuffs which result from combining diazo compounds of the benzene or naphthalene series with 2 : 5-amidonaphthol-7- sulphonic acid in an acid solution. The following derivatives of o-amidophenol are suitable :- picramic acid, chloronitroamidophenol, the sulphonic and carboxylic derivatives, and corresponding derivatives of cresol. Examples are given in which (1) The monoazo dye produced from a diazotized #-naphthalamine-3: 6-disulphonic acid and 2 : 5-amidonaphthol-7-sulphonic acid is combined with the diazo compound of picramic acid. (2) The monoazo dye produced from diazotized p-nitraniline-o-sulphonic acid and the amidonaphthol-sulphonic acid is combined with the diazo compound of picramic acid. (3) The diazo compound of nitro - amido - oxybenzoic acid, [NO2: NH2 : OH: COOH = 6 : 2 : 1 : 4], is combined with the monoazo dye prepared from diazotized p-nitraniline-o-sulphonic acid. Further instances are added in which the diazo compound is produced from picramic acid, and the monoazo dye from sulphanilic acid, dichloraniline [NH2 : Cl : Cl = 1 : 2 : 5], alpha-naphthylamine, or. #-naphthylamine; in which the diazo compound is produced from p-nitro-o-amidophenol and the monoazo dye from p-nitraniline-o-sulphonic acid ; the diazo compound from nitro-amido-oxybenzoic acid as above, and the monoazo dye from alpha-naphthylamine ; and the diazo compound from o-o-nitroamido-phenol-p-sulphonic acid and the mono-azo dye from p-chlor-o-nitraniline, or #-naphthylamine. With wool, these various disazo dyes yield dark claret red, dark granate, blackish violet, and blackish brown colours from an acid bath, and on treating the materials with chromium mordants subsequently, reddish and bluish black to full black shades are produced, which are fast to light, acids, alkalies, and milling.
