Title: Improvements in Safety Acetylene Lamps.
Inventor: BOND EDWARD SAMUEL
Filed: 1899-07-26
Granted: 1899-11-11
Abstract: 15,336. Bond, E. S. July 26. Acetylene lamps; miners' and like safety lamps.-Relates to acetylene lamps, which are specially designed for use in mines as safety lamps or as naked or unprotected lamps, but which may also be used in other places. The body of the lamp consists of two main parts, the water reservoir 4 and the carbide container 4<a>, the two being connected by a bayonet or other joint. The carbide is placed in a holder 9, which may be lined with asbestos 9<a>. The burner is carried on a central tube 10 communicating with the gas holder through a cock 12, which also controls the water supply. The gas and water passages 15 and 13 respectively are so arranged that the former may remain open after the latter is shut, as shown in Fig. 3<B>, so that the gas generated after the water is cut off may be consumed. The water passes down a pipe 17, up an outer pipe 18, and escapes through perforations 19. A perforated disc 20 rests on the carbide, and receives any water deposited by the gas in the upper part of the holder, and also distributes the water supply from the perforations 19. Figs. 2<A> and 2<B> show another method of supplying water to the carbide holder 9. 26 are perforations in a tubular ring connected to the hollow boss by tubular arms 27. Perforations 19<a> are provided between the arms. Several pairs of concentric pipes may be used to prevent the gas from pressing back the water. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, annular spaces are provided between the various pipes, but they may be made to fit one another closely, and have helical groovescut in the outer surfaces for the passage of water.

Title: Improvements in Machines for the Manufacture of Confectioners' and Bakers' Goods.
Inventor: HEILMANN JOHN C
Filed: 1900-05-29
Granted: 1900-08-11
Abstract: 9876. Heilmann, J. C. May 29. Moulding dough, confectionery, &c.-Relates to a machine for delivering measured quantities of dough or like plastic material, and rolling it into balls or the like. The material is fed from a receiver 8, to which it is supplied from a hopper 7, through an opening 15 by means of a screw 16. A measuring-device, consisting of a sleeve 26 sliding on an adjustable stud on a plunger 24, is arranged in front of the opening 15. The sleeve is operated by means of the lever 53 and cam 52, or other gearing. A rotating knife 30 cuts off the projecting piece, which, when the sleeve slides back, falls into a hopper 28. The knife dips into a water tank 56. The cut-off mass of material falls from the hopper 28 between grooved rollers 33 and 29 and a grooved piece 31, by which it is moulded, in the form shown in the Figures, into a ball. The balls are delivered on to a screen 58, to allow water carried on from the knife 30 to drain off. To prevent adherence to the roller or pulley 29, flour or the like may be dropped on to it from a receptacle 34 having a perforated bottom. The receiver 8 is fitted with a pipe 61, through which water or other liquid squeezed from the mass may flow.

Patent GB-190016566-A (GB)
Title: The Manufacture and Production of New Intermediate Products related to the Indigo Group, and of New Indigo Colouring Matters and Indigo therefrom
Inventor: WILLCOX Benjamin
Filed: 1900-09-17
Granted: 1901-07-20
Abstract: 16,566. Willcox, B., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Sept. 17. Anthranilodiacetic acid, which appears to have the constitution C6H4(COOH)N(CH2COOH)2, is produced by heating anthranilic acid with two molecular proportions of monohaloid acetic acid, or phenylglycocoll - o - carboxylic acid with one molecular proportion of monohaloid acetic acid. The reaction is carried out in aqueous solution in presence of sodium carbonate, and the acid produced is precipitated by addition of dilute sulphuric acid. The new acid is soluble in hot water, and its solution has an intensely-blue fluorescence. Dyes, artificial. - Anthranilodiacetic acid is converted into indoxyl acetic acid by treatment with condensing-agents, such as boiling aqueous alkalies or alkaline earths, sodium acetate, zinc chloride, or sulphuric acid. When acetic anhydride is used, acetyl-indoxyl-acetic acid is formed, and this is converted into indoxyl-acetic acid upon saponifying it with warm sodium - carbonate solution. The aqueous solution of indoxyl-acetic acid has an intensely-green fluorescence. When anthranilodia cetic acid, or its dry salts, are heated with solid caustic alkali at about 200‹ C., and the melt is acidified by cold dilute mineral acid, a compound which is regarded as indoxyl-aceticcarboxylic acid is produced. The foregoing indoxyl derivatives are readily oxidized in alkaline, neutral, or acid solution to indigo-diacetic acid. Indoxyl itself is obtained if the dry salts of anthranilodiacetic acid are heated with caustic alkalies, with or without addition of quicklime, at 280‹-330‹ C , and indigo itself is obtained from the indoxyl in the usual manner by blowing air through its aqueous solution. If a temperature of only 200‹-280‹ C. is used in the foregoing fusion, the indigo colouring-matter finally obtained consists in part of dimethyl-indigo, and some melts yield a slightly-s oluble dye, which is probably indigomonoacetic acid or methyl - indigo - monoacetic acid.

Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving Ribbons and other Goods
Inventor: FISCHER WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-10-10
Granted: 1901-08-24
Abstract: 18,039. Fischer, W. Oct. 10. Swivel looms ; forming selvages ; picking-motions; take-up motions.-In looms intended especially for weaving ribbons and other narrow goods, the weft thread x<2> is supplied from a bobbin g at the back, and is drawn into the shed in loop form by a shuttle thread x<3>, which binds the loops to the selvage thread x<1>, as shown in Fig. 18. A finger R on the swinging lay D holds the thread x<2> at the other edge, and the amount of thread let off is regulated by a spring gripping-lever H, which is caused to release it at intervals by a pin h<4> on the lay striking against an incline h<3> at the end of the lever. The thread x<2>, after passing through the gripping-device h, h<1>, passes over a roller g<2> and through a glass eye carried by a tension spring g<4>. The shuttle K, Fig. 18, has an opening to receive a bobbin L, Fig. 12, provided with an extension L<1> and a spring-pressed spindle l<2>. It is operated by rack and pinion gearing from a sliding rack M, Fig. 6, connected by two links N, N<1> with the pin o of a toothed wheel 0, to which motion is imparted by a vertically-sliding rack P. This rack is operated by a lever P<2>, Fig. 2, which is connected at its other end by a link P<3> to a crank P<4> on the shaft d<4>. The shuttle boxes have raceways on both sides of the reed and connected with the lay. The take-up motion is actuated by a pawl f and lever f<1>, connected by a bell-crank lever f<3> and links f<2>, f<5> to the lay.

Granted: 1901-03-16
Abstract: 1206. Thompson, A. H. Jan. 18. Extinguishing oil lamps. -Lamp s and lanterns fitted with the gimbalmounted reservoirs described in Specification No. 1074, A.D. 1893, are provided with means for automatically extinguishing the flames when the lamps or lanterns are accidentally or purposely tilted. In " locked " lamps, Fig. 4, such as are used in cotton warehouses, and in other lamps or lanterns where the conditions permit, the outer casing j is carried up sufficiently high to pass over and extinguish the flame when the gimbalmounted reservoir a swings therein upon the lamp being tilted. In other lamps, an extinguisher b, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, weighted at its inner end f, is pivoted to the burner at c, and is normally held in its open or inoperative position by the pressure upon its outer end h of the chimney e, which is carried by a holder i fitting over the outer casing j. When the chimney and holder are either removed by band or become detached through the lamp being tilted or upset, the weighted end f of the extinguisher b falls over and extinguishes the flame, the burner itself remaining vertical, as shown in Fig. 2, in the event of the lamp being overturned.
