Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Intermediate Products and Colouring Matters therefrom.
Filed: 1899-02-03
Granted: 1900-02-03
Abstract: 2468. Read Holliday & Sons, Turner, J., Dean, H., and Turner, J. Feb. 3. Amidosulphonic acids of phenols and carboxylic acids are produced by boiling p-nitrophenol, o-nitrophenol, o-nitrosalicylic acid, p-nitrosalicylic acid, and m-nitrobenzoic acid with several times their weight of sodium bisulphite. The solution is then acidified, boiled to drive off sulphurous acid, and allowed to cool, whereupon the amidosulphonic acid separates out. Dyes, artificial.-The above-mentioned amidosulphonic acids of phenols and carboxylic acids are converted into azo dyes which combine with metallic mordants on the fibre and yield shades which offer considerable resistance to milling and light. For example :-Amidosalicylic acid is diazotized and combined with alpha-naphthylamine, and the product is again diazotized and combined with #-naphthol disulphonic acid-R, alpha-naphthol sulphonic acid-N.W, or 1 : 8 : 3 : 6-amidonaphthol disulphonic acid. (2) Diazotized amidosalicylic acid is combined with m - toluylenediamine or m-phenylenediamine in alkaline or acid solution. (3) Diazotized amidosalicylic acid is combined with 1 : 8 : 3 : 6-amidonaphthol disulphonic acid in alkaline solution.

The pattern-reading point is formed on a carriage C' sliding on a bar C<2> which swings over the semicircular pittern board B. The movements of the carriage C' along the bar C' are transmitted by a cord passing through the hollow pivots of the arms C<3> to a clip F sliding in bars D, D', and by it to the selector plate K, and the movements of the bar C<2> by a toothed segment, vertical shaft, horizontal pulley, and band tn a second clip G and selector plate Q. The two sets of selector needles, plates, &c. are precisely similar ; those connected with the carriage C' will be described. The needles are supported at their upper ends by a bar I', and at their lower ends pass through holes in the bar D and rest on the plate K as shown by dots in Fig. 6. On the plate K being moved from its central position, one of the needles I falls through the hole K', and one of the end needles I<4>, according to the direction of motion of the plate K, falls through one of the slots K<2>. The clip F is opened by the engagement of the bar M with one of the jaws, and the, plate K is then returned to its central position by a forked lever engaging a pin on the plate and actuated by a helical cam on the main shaft L. Corresponding to the two sets of selector needles are two sets of punches P<3>, P<4>, Fig. 5, sliding in boxes P<2> and having punch plates P, P<1>. Referring to the punches P<3>, there are half as many punches as needles I, and, in addition, two corresponding to the two needles I'. They are operated by slides R guided in a box S and connected by cords R' to the needles. The slides connected to the needles I<4> operate separate punches ; the other slides are in pairs, each of which operates one punch, and is connected to a pair of needles equidistant from the hole K<1>. Surrounding the block S is a vertically-reciprocating frame V carrying bars V<1> pressed inwards towards the block S. When the frame V descends, the bevel edges of the bars V<1> pass under the shoulders r of the slides which are raised, but engage the shoulders of those which are lowered, so causing them to operate the corresponding punches. The birs I<1>, N', and M, the frame V, and the plate W by which the punches are raised are connected to bars J reciprocated by cams on the shaft L. To ensure the holes K<1> always registering with needles after movement of the selector plates, an adjusting-finger X is oscillated into engagement with teeth on the plates. Or, according to the Provisional Specification. catches engage with similar teeth on the bar C' and pattern board. A catch is provided to retain the carriage C' in position after movement.
