Title: A New or Improved Petroleum Engine.
Inventor: ALLSOP ROBERT OWEN
Filed: 1899-03-13
Granted: 1900-02-17
Abstract: 5472. Allsopp, R. O. March 13. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-A complete cycle is composed of two or more Otto cycles, the exhaust being drawn back into the cylinder or into another cylinder with air and re-ignited. By this means the exhaust is rendered inodorous, and heavy oils can be used. A further object of the invention is to enable the power of engines, particularly those used on motor cars, to be controlled by varying the relative quantities of air and fuel admitted. A two-cylinder engine is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1. A charge is drawn into, and does work in. the small cylinder C, and the exhaust is expelled into the large cylinder G, the pressure during the suction stroke in G being kept up to that of the atmosphere by air drawn in through the valve N. By supplying fuel in excess to the cylinder C, the power of the engine is increased because a more powerful impulse is produced in the larger cylinder. The engine shown has combustion chambers of variable capacity as described in Specifications No. 26,638, A.D.1896, No. 13,092, A.D. 1897, and No 18,343, A.D. 1898. In single-cylinder engines the exhaust is forced into a reservoir and drawn back again into the cylinder with air on the fifth stroke of the cycle. Three cylinders may be employed, in the first of which the hydrogen in the fuel is burnt, in the second the carbon is converted into carbonic oxide, and in the third the carbonic oxide is burnt and exhausted.

Granted: 1900-04-14
Abstract: 25.751. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Slyck, C. H. van]. Dec. 30. Switches.-A time-switch is so arranged that a chronometer at predetermined times closes a shunt circuit through a magnet-coil which operates mechanism for opening or closing a switch. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a rotating part of a chronometer A carries adjustable springs B which strike against a fixed pin C. On escaping from C the spring B strikes against the end of a lever D, pivoted at 2, and causes the contact E to engage a contact E' and close a circuit through the coil H. The core I is drawn down and depresses the lever J, which is connected by a link K with an arm 8 pivoted at 9. A dog L on this arm engages with a ratchet-wheel fitted on the spindle of a rotating switch consisting of an insulating- disc 0 carrying conducting-pins P. When the magnet H is operated to close the circuit, a pair of the pins P engage with contacts Q, R and Q<1>, R', and are held there by a spring pin 11 engaging a notched wheel. An extension S on the core I returns the lever D to its normal position, and so breaks the magnet circuit. When the magnet is next energized, the switch is again rotated a step, and the pins 0 disengaged from the contacts.

Granted: 1900-12-22
Abstract: 2683. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Feb. 10. Dyes, artificial.-Relates to the manufacture of new monoazo and disazo dyes which dye unmordanted cotton, and consists in combining the diazo compound of alpha- or #-naphthylamine with #1-amido-alpha3-naphthol-#4-monosulphonic acid or with #1-amido-alpha3-naphthol-alpha1#4-disulphonic acid, or by combining diazo compounds (excepting those, such as the diazo compounds of dehydrothiotoluidine, acetyl-p-phenylenediamine, or the like, which are generally used for producing secondary disazo dyes for cotton) with certain derivatives of the foregoing amidonaphthol sulphonic acids of the general formula C10H4(NHR)(OH)(SO3H)X in which R means an alkyl or acidyl radicle, such as CH3, C2H5, C6H5, CH2.C6H5, CO.C6H5, CO.CH3, CH2.COOH, or the like, and X means a hydrogen atom which may be replaced by a sulpho group. The disazo dyes may be produced either by further diazotizing the said monoazo dyes produced in alkaline solution and then combining the diazoazo products with dye-stuff components, or they may be produced by first diazotizing the amidonaphthol sulphonic acids, coupling the diazo compounds with an azo dye-stuff compound, and then combining the monoazo products with a diazo compound. Examples are given in which bright red and yellowish-red dyes are so produced from diazotized alpha- or #-naphthylamine and #1-amido-alpha3-naphthol-#4-sulphonic acid ; clear red dyes are produced from diazotized #-naphthylamine and #1-acetylamido-alpha3-naphthol- #4-sulphonic acid, from diazotized xylidine and #1- benzoyl-amido-alpha3-naphthol-#4-sulphonic acid, and from diazotized #-naphthylamine and the glycine compound of #1-amido-alpha3-naphthol-#4-sulphonic acid ; and a reddish-violet dye is produced either by diazotizing the monoazo dye obtained from diazotized aniline and #1-amido-alpha3-naphthol-#4- sulphonic acid and combining the product with #1-amido-alpha3-naphthol-#4sulphonic acid, or by combining diazotized #1-amido-alpha3-naphthol-#4-sulphonic acid with #1-amido-alpha3-naphthol-#4-sulphonic acid and combining the product with diazotized aniline.

The pile of sheets then passes on to a conveyer F<1> consisting of bands 25 passing round the rollers 20, 26, 27, and 28. The top sheets are separated successively by suction cylinders S, S<1>, S<2>, and are carried by bands 44, 45, 46 to their respective receptacles C<3>, C<2>, C', and the last or remaining sheet passes on over the bands 25 to the receptacle C. Each of the suction cylinders S &c. consists of an outer perforated cylinder 31, Fig. 4, rotating by ball bearings upon a stationary tube 30 connected by a pipe 54 &c. to an exhausting-pump or fan P, or other air-exhausting apparatus. The sheets are removed from the suction cylinders and guided on to the conveyers 44 &c. by curved plates 59, 60, 61 on transverse bars 56, 57, 58. The cylinders 31 are driven by bands from the roller 20, and the rollers 48 of the bands 44, 45, 46 are driven from the roller 27. The tubes 30 are provided with guides 61 for sliding cut-off plates G, by which any of the cylinders S, S<1>, S<2> may be rendered inoperative. The plates G are operated by levers 65, 66, 67, to which they are connected by link and lever arrangements. As each pile of sheets is obtained from one of the webs, it contains sheets of equal thickness.
