Patent GB-190511066-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Sulphur Colouring Matters
Filed: 1905-05-26
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 11,066. Meyenberg, A., Allpass, J. T., and Clayton Aniline Co. May 26. Dyes, artificial.-Sulphur dyes are obtained from 1 : 3 : 4-p-toluylene-diamine and its derivatives. In an example, the diamine is heated with sulphur in an oil-bath until evolution of sulphuretted hydrogen ceases ; the melt obtained is soluble in dilute solutions of sodium sulphide, but, when heated with, say, caustic alkali or sodium sulphide and water, gives a soluble product which in a sodium-sulphide bath dyes cotton a yellowishbrown oxidizing in air to an olive-green ; this last colour is brightened by sodium peroxide and darkened by metallic salts such as copper sulphate or sodium bichromate. In a second example, the diamine is heated with formic-acid solution ; the derivative thus obtained heated with sulphur yields a soluble melt which in sodium-sulphide solution dyes cotton a yellow colour, turned greenish by sodium peroxide and darkened by metallic salts. A greener shade is obtained by adding benzidine, or a similar substance such as tolidine or the diamine itself, to the melt in the second example. The formic acid derivative heated with sulphur and sodium sulphide gives a soluble melt, dyeing cotton a chestnut-brown which becomes yellower on treatment with sodium peroxide and chocolatebrown with-copper salts.
Patent GB-190511510-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Air Brake Systems.
Filed: 1905-06-01
Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 11,510. Lake, H. H., [Dukesmith Air Brake Co.]. June 1. Brakes. - Relates to means whereby the driver is enabled to control the engine and tender brakes independently of the train brakes in Westinghouse and similar systems. The main reservoir 1 is connected to the train-pipe 6 by the usual driver's valve 4. The engine brake cylinders 7 and auxiliary reservoir 20 are connected to the train-pipe by the usual triple valve 9. The tender brake cylinder has no separate triple valve, but is connected by a pipe 26 with the exhaust port of the triple valve 9, and is also connected by the same pipe to an additional rotary or other control valve 36, shown in sectional plan in Fig. 10. The seating of this valve has a port 32 communicating with the pipe 26, an exhaust port 35, and a port 33 communicating by a pipe 34, Fig. 1, with the branch pipe 25 connecting the engine brake cylinders 7 with the triple valve 9. The valve itself has a port 37, Fig. 10, which can be adjusted to connect both or either of the ports 32, 33 with the exhaust port 35, or to connect the ports 32, 33 to each other without connecting them to the exhaust. The handle 42 of the valve is provided with a catch 43 for engaging notches in the valve casing when the valve is in these various positions. With the valve in the last-mentioned position, the engine and tender brakes are applied at the same time as the train brakes, but are not released when the train brakes are released, owing to the blanking of the exhaust port 35. The engine and tender brakes thus remain on after the train brakes are released, and shocks due to a too early release of the engine brakes are prevented. The tender and engine brakes can be released by means of the valve 36, either while the train brakes are applied or after their release. With the valve adjusted to connect the ports 32, 33 only, the engine and train brakes are applied and released together. The brakes may be applied with less force on the engine and tender than on the train by leaving the valve 36 at the exhaust position shown in Fig. 10 during a partial application of the brakes and then moving it to the opposite position prior to a fuller application. The engine and tender brakes can be applied separately from the train brakes by means of a cock 53, Fig. 1, connecting the main reservoir with the pipe 34, preferably through a reducing-valve 54. To avoid clogging of the tender triple valve, when one is used, by condensed moisture and dirt from the pipes, a drip bag is placed in the trainpipe on the tender ; or, the tender triple valve being dispensed with, the condensation is collected at the usual drip cup at the rear of the tender.

Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 13,696. Hamilton, W., and Ferranti, Ltd. July 3. Energy meters of the inductionmotor type. The pole pieces of the shunt magnet are made very long, extending further from the coil than in previous arrangements such as that described in Specification No. 18,766, A.D. 1902, and the coil itself is made adjustable along the core, for the purpose of obtaining the requisite phase displacement and compensation for friction. The shunt and series magnets are separately arranged to give a small torque, both in the same direction, to compensate for the braking effects of the magnet poles as well as for pivot and train friction. In the meter shown in section in Fig. 2, the pole-pieces i are extended downwards from the core f and underneath the disk, the polar surfaces being arranged opposite the gaps between the three limbs of the series magnet d. This magnet is situated a little in advance of the symmetrical position as regards the direction of motion of the disk armature, and the shunt coil h is displaced in the same direction by means of set-screws o. The meter may be regulated for different frequencies by means of a resistance k in the shunt circuit, or by making the coil h in two separate parts, and either varying the distance between them, or placing iron washers between them ; or the coils may be shaped in accordance with requirements, and the pole-pieces of the shunt magnet may be partially laminated. An auxiliary starting-coil may be wound on one of the pole-pieces or over the shunt coil, and may be adjustable thereon. Shunt magnets of the form shown in Figs. 5 and 6 may be used. The invention is applicable to polyphase meters in the manner described in the above-mentioned Specification.

Granted: 1907-05-09
Abstract: 25,169. Carter, F. W. Nov. 8. Pulley - blocks ;self-sustaining gear.-Safety pulley-blocks are provided with a choke sheave which binds the cable and prevents any back movement of the load, although the hauling-rope is allowed to pass freely. The pulley-block 1 is preferably cast in a single piece having its back interior wall curved at 6 so as to lie eccentrically to the pivot bolt 3, the lower portion of the curved part 6 being nearer to the pivot bolt 3 than the upper part thereof. The part 6 is preferably convexed so as to fit into the groove of the chokesheave. The wall is continued straight upward at the part 6", and then curves round at 6<1> so as to constitute a pocket for the choke sheave. Slots 7 corresponding in contour to the back part of the pulley-block are formed in the sides. The choke sheave 8 is grooved so as to bear on the cable 5. The lifter 9 has legs, which straddle the pulley-block and have a removable bolt axle 10 passing through them, and through the slots 7 and sheave 8. The cross-piece of the lifter 9 is adapted to engage with a catch 12 formed on the pulley-block, so as to hold the lifter when raised. The lifter 9 has sufficient weight to assist the pull of the cable 5 in drawing the sheave 8 downwardly to choke the cable. The catch 12 is provided to hold the lifter in its raised position. To choke the downward pull of the cable and only permit it to pull outwardly, the lifter 9 is released from the catch 12, so that the choke sheave 8 is wedged in between the cable and the wall 6 on any downward pull of the cable 5. This operation can be supplemented by band pressure, on the lifter 9. The wall 6 may be dispensed with and the slots 7 used alone. When it is desired to break the choke by hand, the free end of the lifter is placed on the flashings 2 which are used as a fulcrum. Modifications of the lifter 9 are shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 7, in all of which the bolt 3 passes through the legs of the lifter.
