Patent GB-189918661-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Gate or Door Hangings or Hinge Devices and Catches.
Inventor: IRVING ROBERT JAMES
Filed: 1899-09-15
Granted: 1900-08-04
Abstract: 18,661. Irving, R. J. Sept. 15. Gate and door fastenings.-Relates to an arrangement by which a driver can open and close a gate without alighting from his vehicle. The invention is also applicable to doors. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the bottom hinge is of the ordinary type. The top hinge consists of a pivot B mounted on the end of a bracket A fixed to the gate. This pivot works in a V-shaped slot F in a bracket fixed to the gatepost. Below C is a piece G with similar V slot, through which the pivot B also passes. The piece G is mounted on the end of a pivoted lever I. This lever can be pulled from either side by cords, the ends of which are supported on posts so as to be easily reached by the driver without alighting. When the lever I is pulled to one side, the piece G forces the pivot B to one end of the slot F, and thus tilts the gate, so that it opens away from the approaching vehicle. The movement of the pivot B in the slot F as the gate opens raises the latch end of the gate, and allows it to swing open and rest on a footstep to prevent it from being accidentally closed. The pulling of the second cord causes the gate to close, the latch 0, Fig. 9, which has sloping wings P and a central recess Q, riding over a pin M on the gatepost till the pin enters the recess. The latch has slots with wide ends O<1> engaging pivots N on the gate so that the latch may turn on either pivot separately. In a modification, the ordinary hinge is at the top, and the opening and closing hinge at the bottom.

The two parts of the nut are normally held together by the tapered sides of the recess 34, and correct relative position is secured by a horizontal lug on one engaging a corresponding recess in the other. In the opposing faces of the split nut are formed inclined grooves, in which engage wedges 41 hanging from a collar 40 which can be lifted by means of a lever 45, 46, thus separating the two halves of the nut to allow rapid adjustment of the screw. The part 45 of the lever 45, 46 can be turned up into the position shown in dotted lines, where it is held by a spring pin 48. The metal casing which contains the nut, gearing, &c., is mounted on the top of a wooden standard. The part of it to the left of the centre line 4 and above the centre line of the crank spindle 32, is detachable, and is secured to the other part by tapered cups 13, 14 surrounding flanged holes, through which pass the spindle 32 and the screw 19.

Title: The Manufacture of New Azo Colouring Matters.
Filed: 1901-07-04
Granted: 1902-06-05
Abstract: 13,619. Levinstein, I., Mensching, C., and Levinstein, Ltd. July 4. Dyes, artificial.-Consists in the production of azo dyes from 6-nitro-2-amido-1-methylbenzene-4- sulphonic acid. (1) The diazo derivative of the foregoing nitrotoluidine sulphonic acid is combined with an amine, phenol, or amidophenol, of the benzene or naphthalene series, or with a sulphonic or carboxylic acid thereof. For example, a yellow dye for wool, which, when chromed, is fast to light, scouring, and milling, is produced by combination of the said diazo compound with salicylic acid. (2) Disazo dyes are produced by combining the diazo derivative of nitrotoluidine sulphonic acid with a middle component capable of forming a true amidoazo compound, diazotizing this product, and combining it with one of the dye-stuff components mentioned under (1) above. For example, the diazo compound of nitrotoluidine sulphonic acid, alpha-naphthylamine, and R-salt are converted by this process into a violet-black dye for wool, which on chroming gives darker and bluer shades. (3) The diazotized nitrotoluidine sulphonic acid is combined with an equimolecular proportion of an amidonaphthol sulphonic acid capable of combining with two molecular proportions of a diazo compound, and the resulting intermediate product is combined with another diazo compound ; or two molecular proportions of the intermediate product are combined with a tetrazo compound ; or one molecular proportion of the intermediate product and one molecular proportion of a dye-stuff component are combined with a tetrazo compound. For example, amidonaphthol disulphonic acid-H is combined first in acid solution with diazotized nitrotoluidine sulphonic acid, and then in alkaline solution with aniline, whereby a deep blue-black dye for wool is obtained. When the compound of diazotized nitrotoluidine sulphonic acid and amidonaphthol disulphonic acid-H is combined with the intermediate diazo compound obtained from benzidine and salicylic acid, a bright green dye for unmordanted cotton results.
