Granted: 1899-08-12
Abstract: 23,435. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Nov. 7. Antiseptics. - Alkylglycollphenol esters, which are basic compounds forming soluble, inodorous, non-poisonous salts of strong antiseptic power, are produced by first acting upon a phenol with a halogen substituted acid halide, and thea reacting upon the halogen acidyl-phenol ester thus obtained with a secondary amine. An example is given in which a mixture of guaiacol and monochloracetic acid in pyridine is heated with phosphorus oxychloride on a water bath, and the product is poured into water. The chloracetyl-guaiacol thus obtained is mixed with diethylamine, aud the reaction is moderated by cooling with ice. The gelatinous product is treated with dilute soda and extracted with ether, and the diethylglycocoll-guaiacol thus obtained is converted into its hydrobromide. In a similar manner the following glycocollphenol esters are produced, viz. :-di-isobutylglycocollguaiacol, diethyl-glycocoll-o-m- and p-cresol, and diethylglycocollphenol, and their salts, such as the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hyriodide, or picrate.

Abstract: 17,631. Richard, C. B., and Cahen, F. Aug. 31. Gases, mixtures of, obtaining. - Acetylene is produced by the contact of calcium carbide with water, and as produced is mixed with other gases obtained electrically, so as to modify the properties of the acetylene. For this purpose, the carbide is contained in a cartridge A, formed of a number of double e sleeves, having zinc a on the outside and copper a' on the inside, a cup a', formed of copper on the outside and zinc on the inside, connecting each pair of sleeves. A central perforated copper tube b passes through all the cups, the lower end being covered by a perforated chamber a<4>, while the upper has a perforated insulating- stopper b<1> by which the cartridge is suspended by a hook hanging from the cover of a carbide generator. The water used is acidulated with hydrochloric acid. In use, an electric current is generated, the zinc and the copper acting as electrodes, and this current acts on the air which is injected into the generator, on the water, and on the acetylene in such a way that the required mixture, containing acetylene, carbonic acid, ammonia, and hydrogen, is obtained.

Abstract: 14,161. Croil, T. March 5, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Motor road vehicles. - Relates to motor vehicles of the kind in which the front wheels are driven positively, while the axle is permitted to swing freely for the purpose o f steering, or in which steering and rear wheels are all driven, Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal central section through the vehicle, and Fig. 3 a view of the forward end. In this, the front axle 7 is connected with the fifth wheel 26, so that it can be swung by the action of the steering-pinion 27, mounted on the steering- shaft. On the axle 7 are mounted freely the wheels 9, which are furnished with internallytoothed rings 37 gearing with driving-pinions on the two-part shaft 35, 35<1>. The two parts of the shaft 35, 35<1> are connected by balance gear 40, and are carried on bearings on the axle 7. The balance gear 40 is driven by bevel-wheels, one of which is concentric with the fifth wheel 26 and derives motion from the longitudinal shaft 22, which is driven by suitable change-speed gear seen at the rear of the vehicle. In the example shown, the shaft 22 also drives the rear wheels, acting directly on the balance-gear ; except as regards the means for swinging the axle, the rear wheels are driven in a similar manner to the front wheels.

Title: Improvements in Lamp Chimneys
Inventor: JUERGENS JULIUS FRIEDRICH CHAR
Filed: 1900-12-18
Granted: 1901-11-02
Abstract: 23,167. J³rgens, J. F. C. Dec. 18. Regenerative oil lamps.- The heating of the air supply before it impinges upon the flame is effected by causing the air to pass between the walls of a double chimney. In the argand lamp shown in Fig. 1, the outer air supply enters at b, and is heated while descending between the outer wall a and the inner wall c. d of the chimney, the lower end of the wall d being so shaped, and cut off at such a level, that the heated air impinges upon the flame at the base of the luminous zone. The parts d, e are easily detachable from the part c, which may be of metal, and the lower part d is made bulbous when a flame spreader is centrally mounted in the burner. The central draught of unheated air is retarded by a perforated disc i. the ascent of air to the flame around the outer wick-tube is practically prevented by the insertion of a thimble h, and the transmission of heat to the burner is prevented by the use of a non-conducting sleeve or washer g.
Patent GB-190101003-A (GB)
Title: A Machine for Manufacturing Chenille.
Inventor: MILLS BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD
Filed: 1901-01-15
Granted: 1901-12-07
Abstract: 1003. Mills, B. J. B., [Bergeron, J. B.]. Jan. 15. Chenille. - Relates to a machine for simultaneously making two or more strands or lengths of cylindrical chenille. Fig. 3 shows diagrammatically the principal parts of the machine. Silk &c. thread on bobbins b carried by a rotating flyer a is wound round warp threads e and thin steel bars c passing through the centre of the flyer. Other warp threads f pass round the pulleys g and join the threads e, while the steel bands c pass outwards over guide-pulleys. The threads f, e are secured to rotating spindles i. An endless band cuts the pile threads between the pulleys g. The pile threads are taken up and twisted between the warps e,f. The flyers a are rotated by an endless cord m passing over a pulley on the shaft o. The carriage supporting the spindles i is moved outwards by clamping it to one part of an endless cord u, u<1> passing over a grooved cone pulley v on the shaft x and also guided to pass over a pulley 34 on the shaft 12. The spindles i are rotated by an endless band r, r' passing over a pulley q on the shaft o and round guide-pulleys s, and round a vertical pulley at the extreme left-hand end of the machine. The means for rotating the spindles i are thus independent of the motion of the carriage. The warp threads e, f are drawn from reels 3 and are guided by pulleys 4, g and guides 6. The endless steel bands c pass several times round pulleys y and over grooved pulleys z on the shaft x and a shaft at the left of the machine. The endless cutting-band passes round pulleys 10, continually sharpened by a pair of grinding- wheels 13 driven from the shaft o by a band 15. The main shaft 18 drives the shaft o by a halfcrossed belt 19 and the shaft o drives the shaft x through change - gear 38, 39. The belt 19 is tightened by means of a pulley on a bell-crank lever 21 held in place by a catch 29. When the carriage gets near the end of its travel to the left, it makes an electric contact and rings an alarm bell ; when it has almost completed its motion, it makes another contact and energizes a magnet 28 and disengages the catch 29, which allows the lever 21 to stop and so stops the machine. When a warp breaks or gives out, bent wire rods, supported by the chenilles, fall on to a cross-bar 26 and make a contact and so energize the magnet 28. Copper fingers press on the thread on the spools b, and, when the thread is exhausted, the fingers make contact with the spool and energizes the magnet 28. When the lever 21 falls, it breaks a contact 30, 31.
