Title: The Manufacture of Para-amidoxylyl-para-oxyphenylamine and analogous Compounds and of Dyestuffs therefrom.
Filed: 1903-02-04
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 2617. Levinstein, I., Mensching, C., and Levinstein, Ltd. Feb.4. p-Amidoxylyl-p-oxyphenylamine.-This new body, of the constitution is obtained by the oxidation of p-amidophenol with p-xylidine. The two bodies are dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid, cooled to 0‹ C., and vigorously agitated with sodium bichromate. To the resulting indophenol, sodium-sulphide solution is added, the mixture is heated, and the chromium hydrate is filtered off. The new body is precipitated by sodium bicarbonate and salt, and forms a gray powder soluble in dilute acids, caustic soda, and alcohol, but difficultly soluble in water and benzene. p - Amido - xylyl - p-oxy - m-chlorphenylamine; pamido-xylyl-p-oxyphenylamine; p-amidotolyl-p-oxym-chlorphenylamine.-These bodies are obtained by using, instead of pure p-xylidine in the above process, mixtures of o-toluidine, p-xylidine, and , o-chlor-p-amidophenol. Dyes, artificial.-The p-amidoxylyl-p-oxyphenylamine is treated with sodium sulphide and sulphur, and the mixture is evaporated until its boiling point rises to 120‹ C., and the melt is maintained at that temperature for 24 hours. The leuco compound formed is dissolved in water, and the dyestuff precipitated by passing a current of air. It forms a dark blue-black powder insoluble in water, and dyes unmordanted cotton bright blue shades fast to light, alkalies, and acids. If the body from which the dye is obtained is prepared from a mixture, redder shades are obtained, but, if from a chloro-compound, green shades are obtained.

Title: Improved Means for Lubricating Cross-head Pins of Reciprocating Parts.
Inventor: CARLSSON CARL AXEL VICTOR
Filed: 1903-02-19
Granted: 1903-03-26
Abstract: 3944. Carlsson, C. A. V., and Bohman, C. E. Feb. 19. Lubricating crossheads. The lubricating. device, Fig. 1, supplied from a fixed lubricator, as, for instance, a visible feed, and carried on the crosshead, injects intermittently the supply to the pin of the crosshead. The oil from the feeder descends the fixed nozzle d, and is driven through the extension j by air compressed by the piston c in the side chamber g, fitted with the valve L, the piston being actuated by the reciprocation of the crosshead to which the funnel A is also attached. The extension j discharges into the funnel-shaped cover l from which the lubricant is taken to the crosshead pin. The lubricant is retained in the extension j, until it is discharged by the air pressure. To prevent oil from escaping from the mouth of the funnel A on the down-stroke of the engine, a double-pointed deflector is placed at the bottom of the funnel l so that oil may pass from above but. be deflected when passing from below. In addition, a ball check-valve may be placed in the passage leading to the part to be lubricated.

Granted: 1904-01-28
Abstract: 9390. Poppenburg, J., von der. April 25. Secondary batteries.-Consists of improvements in the electrodes described in Specification No. 16,408, A,D. 1900. A conducting-grating a, provided with curved or bent projecting ends d is inserted in a frame, made in one piece preferably, or of as few pieces as possible, with non-conducting lateral portions e of material such as vulcanized rubber, so that the projections d come opposite grooves, holes, or recesses g, Fig. 4, in the frame. For this purpose, the frame is placed on a flat support h of glass or the like, and an aluminium or other suitable plate i fitted exactly in the frame so as just to reach to the recesses &c. as shown. The curved projections d are then flattened, separately or all together, thus locking the grid in its frame without the necessity of supports &c. as hitherto. The active material is then applied to both sides of the grid, and supported by transverse or longitudinal non-conducting bars connected to the frame in a suitable manner or by other, means. The upper part of the grid a, which lies in recesses in the frame, is covered by slides s to prevent access of the electrolyte to it. The electrodes may be bent or curved either after casting, or during the casting process. The grating may have free ends m, Fig. 7, which, after insertion into recesses n in the upper part of the frame, are soldered to a transverse part o, shown in dotted lines.

Title: Process of and Apparatus for the Diffusion and Extraction of Saccharine Juices
Inventor: NAUDET LEON
Filed: 1904-02-05
Granted: 1905-02-04
Abstract: 2928. Naudet, L. Feb. 6, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Raw sugar, ob- taining. - Consists of a forced-circu- lation diffusion process and appa- ratus. The battery of diffusers n, (n-1 ), &c, Fig. 1, is divided into two parts, for example, one part comprising the (n-1)<th> to the (n-x)<th> dif- fuser, the other part comprising the nth and the (n+1)<th> diffusers. A vat q termed the compensator is connected by the suction pipe o to the centrifugal pump p, of which the forcing-pipe R is connected to the head of each dif- fuser through valves rand pipes f. The compensator q is also connected by a pipe u with the juice-conduit J of the battery, so that juice passes from the diffuser (n-1) into the compensator q, from which it is forced by the pump into the re-heaters S. The juice then passes partly to the measuring-vat m, and partly to the diffuser n, which it heats or forces to about 80‹ C., thence passing to the diffuser (n + 1) to mash the contents, and then into the juice conduit J to heat the last diffuser, which has been mashed at about 80‹ C. The usual juice-valves j, circulation-valves c, and water- valves e are provided for each diffuser, and a water conduit E, the ordinary circulation of the juice from one diffuser to the next being from, say, the diffuser n-3 through the foot-pipe an-3. the caloriser or steam heater kn-3, the circulation pipe bn-3, the juice valve jn-2, which is closed to the juice-conduit J, the circulation valve cn-2, the water-valve en-2, which is closed to the water conduit E, the head pipe dn-2, the diffuser n-2, and so on. The juice proceeding to the carbonata- tion is taken from the compensator q, which also maintains a constant velocity of juice in the battery because of the fairly constant level maintained in it by the valve Z, Fig. 2, auto- matically controlled by the float y, which also renders the discharge level constant. The com- pensator q, always containing a bulk of juice, maintains a uniform temperature of juice, accele- rates the drawing-off, and retards the mashing- operation. Auxiliary saccharine juices are added to the extracted juice in the compensator q to raise the density to a value equal to, or greater than, the density of the natural juice, to obtain the maximum yield of sugar, and obviate the exhaustion of the slices, or the production of exosmose during the forcing or heating of a diffuser. Slow mashing is facilitated by providing a conduit W, Fig. 1, directly connecting the bottom of the compensator q with each diffuser at its middle height, to distribute the slices more uni- formly. A perforated plate X, Fig. 2, is provided in the compensator q over the entrance pipe u to free the juice from pulp.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Railway Waggon and other Classes of Weighing Instruments
Inventor: FINNEY THOMAS
Filed: 1904-03-17
Granted: 1904-09-22
Abstract: 6501. Finney, T. March 17. Relieving-mechanism for railway-wagon, lorry, and cart weighbridges and other platform weighing-machines is arranged so as to minimize the power required to operate it. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, a shaft B, operated by a handlever A, carries a grooved or other chain-wheel C connected by a chain E to chain-wheel on a shaft B<1>. A shaft B<2>, connected by toothed gearing F, F<1> to the shaft B', carries a pinion which gears with the larger part of a segmental wheel G having one part of its circumference of larger radius than the other. The wheel G is mounted on a shaft B<3>. Its smaller part gears with a sliding rack I carrying, in a shackle or other support at its upper end, the bearing of the steelyard J. The shafts B ... B<3> are mounted in plummer-block or other bearings on a base-plate M. A bearing L on the steelyard is connected by a swivel and link R to the end T of a lever 0, which is supported at its other end N by chains P wound on the boss of the pinion gearing with the segment G. A bearing Q on the lever 0 is connected by a link R to the end S of the weighbridge lever. In this arrangement, as the lever A is turned to a vertical position both ends of the lever 0 are lowered simultaneously, and vice versÔ. Either end of the lever 0 may be supported in fixed bearings. In one form, the chains P are dispensed with, and, in the other, the steelyard J is mounted in fixed bearings, and the parts I, G are dispensed with. In another modification, the end S is connected direct to the link K, and the parts 0, P, N, R are dispensed with. Fig. 4 shows the invention as applied to a dial machine. An arm U on the rack I extends through a slot in the link K, which in this case is pivoted to a pawl W adapted to engage a cross-bar Z in a forked link 1<A> connected to the end 2<A> of the dial lever 3<A>, To disengage the dial mechanism, the handle A is first pressed down so as to lift the rack I and link K, and allow the pawl W to fall backwards. The handle A is then turned to a vertical position to relieve the weigh-bridge. As the link K falls, the pawl W engages a block 5<A> and is thrown forward, so that, when the lever A is depressed again, the pawl slides back into engagement with the crossbar Z.

Granted: 1905-03-09
Abstract: 10,249. Carolan, E. A., [General Electric Co.]. May 4. Vacuum tubes.-In vapour electric apparatus, the arc is started by means of the sudden generation of vapour within the volatile electrode and the consequent disruption of its surface. This may be produced by the passage of a current through mercury contained in a narrow tube 5, the mouth of which is just below the surface of the mercury cathode 4 of the lamp or rectifier 1. The tube 5 is of insulating material, such as fused quartz, or of metal, enamelled inside and outside, and the current flows from a leading- in wire 6, passing through its lower closed end, to the main leading-in wire 7. The formation of the main arc may be assisted by a filament 8 depending from the anode 3, which is of iron, graphite, or like material. A cut-out 9 opens the starting- circuit when the main current flows. In a modification, the tube 5 is open at both ends and the leading-in wire 6 passe, through it near its upper end. The tube 5 may be supported by the leading- in wire 6, which is covered, except at its end, with enamel or a vitreous coating.
