Title: Improvements in Steam Jet Boiler and other Tube and Flue Cleaners.
Inventor: INGERSOLL WORTHINGTON HOOKER
Filed: 1900-05-10
Granted: 1900-06-23
Abstract: 8659. Ingersoll, W. H. May 10 Injectors. - Relates to boiler and other tube and flue cleaners in which a jet of steam is projected from a head or nozzle into the tube or flue to be cleaned. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the eggshaped head 4 is provided with internal ribs 10, as in the cleaner described in Specification No. 1368, A.D. 1900, and external spiral ribs 8 having shoulders to receive the air tube 15. High-pressure steam, passing through the blower head, heats it and causes a current of air to be induced into the tube or flue. The head 4 may be turned or moved to and fro to scrape the tube or flue, and the head may have external spiral flanges alone. In the cleaner shown in Fig. 2, the conical head B is surrounded by an air chamber D formed by the sleeve C on the plate or disc C<1>. The disc E engages with the head B, so that air is caused to pass by the channel between the plates C', E, and to be discharged at the periphery of the tube or flue and mingle with the centrally-discharged steam. By using plates C', E of varying sizes, the same head may be used to clean tubes or flues of different diameters,

Title: Improvements in Machines for Capping Bottles and other Vessels.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1900-07-06
Granted: 1900-10-20
Abstract: 12,257. Thompson, W. P., [American Stopper Co.]. July 6. Stoppering.-Relates to machines for securing bayonet-joint caps or stoppers on bottles &c. The bottle rest or table 12, Fig. 2, is adjustably clamped to the plate 13 on the pedestal 2, and is provided with adjustable arms 18, 20, between which the bottle is held. The arms are pivoted on posts 17, and the arms 20 are preferably faced with soft rubber &c. The stoppering-head 11 is carried by the spring-controlled plunger 8, and is adapted to be operated by the treadle 4 &c. The cap or stopper is placed in the chuck 26, Fig. 6, which has a vertical movement within the head 11 against the action of the spring 28, this movement being limited by the pins 23 engaging in the slots 24. In the arrangement shown, the stopper is held within the chuck by the pivoted dogs 42, which, when the stopper is pressed down on the mouth of the bottle, are caused by the adjustable spring- controlled plug 44 to grip the sides of the stopper. When the projections on the stopper have passed down the vertical portions of the bayonet-joint slots in the bottle neck, the chuck is rotated to engage the projections in the horizontal portions of the slots. This rotation is effected by the pins 31, 32 on the chuck engaging the cam surfaces 35, 36 on the head 11, Figs. 9 and 10, the head moving downward on the chuck whilst the latter presses the stopper on the bottle. On the return movement of the head 11, the plug 44 first releases the dogs 42 from the stopper, and then the chuck is returned to its normal position in the head. The vertical return movement of the chuck is effected by the spring 28, and the movement of rotation by the fixed cam 40, Fig. 2, engaging the pin 32. The head 11, Fig. 10, is provided with a spring 37, which, by engaging the pin 31, ensures the correct movement of the chuck. In a modification, the cam 35 is shaped so that the spring 37 can be dispensed with. The chuck spindle 25 is provided with ball bearings, to facilitate its rotation.

Title: Manufacture of New Rhodamine Sulphonic Acids.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1900-08-20
Granted: 1901-06-08
Abstract: 14,879. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Briining]. Aug. 20. Dyes, artificial.-New rhodamine sulphonic acids, which dye wool shades similar to chose produced by tetra-alkylrhodamines, but differ from these rhodamines by their superior dyeing power, which enables them to yield shades of any depth, are produced by sulphonating asymmetric dialkylrhodamines. Sulphonation is best effected by fuming sulphuric acid, containing 20 to 35 per cent. of anhydride, at a moderate temperature. Examples are given in which sulphonic acids are thus produced from the asymmetric diethylrhodamine obtained as described in Specification No. 4985, A.D. 1895, from the rhodamine obtained from diethylamido-oxybenzoylbenzoic acid and oamido-p-cresol, and from the similarly-obtained dimethylrhodamines.

Granted: 1901-11-23
Abstract: 585. Headley, F. H. Jan. 9. Cut-outs; switches.-Relates to a maximum and minimum cut-out, which may be used in connection with switches for motors &c. The main bridging-contact 1 is carried by an arm or frame 2, and is adapted to be held closed, against a spring 6, by a catch 7 pivoted at 17 and engaging a projection 9. The catch is adapted to be released by either of two levers 14, 15 provided with armatures facing an electromagnet 23. The levers are pivoted at 16, 17 respectively, and pressed outwards by springs fitted in the case of the electromagnet. They are also fitted with screws 26, 27, so that, when the lever 14 falls away through a failure of current, or the lever 15 is attracted by an excessive current, the catch 7 is raised to release the bridging - piece 1. This arrangement of electromagnetically - controlled catch may be used to control the arm of a controlling-switch for motors.

Actuating- mechanism. - The spools containing the pictures &c. arc operated by a train of wheels driven by a spring or weight and cord wound by a wheel on an arbor d normally locked by the engagement of a lug g<1> on a spring- pressed lever g with a notch f<1> in a cam disc f on the arbor d. Money shoots; coin action ; cointipping mechanism; coin - slit closing- devices. - The lug g<1> is released by the action of a coin inserted in a shoot h, on the end g<3> of the lever g which raises the end i<2> of a rod i into the path of the fly c<7>, a guide i<4> being provided. As the arbor d is operated by the winding - handle, the cam f acts on the lug g<1> so as to allow the coin to fall, after which it is pressed into the notch f<1>. The coin falls on to and depresses a second lever k, pivoted at k<2> and carrying a tooth n<1> to prevent another coin falling on to the lever g, so as to lift a stop j out of the path of the fly c<7> and allow the spring to unwind. When the spring &c. barrel c has made a complete rotation, a stud m on it engages a wiper k<5> so as to allow the coin to fall and then allow the stop to-engage the fly c<7>.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Barrel Filling Devices
Inventor: MEDBERY NELSON HERBERT
Filed: 1901-06-11
Granted: 1901-07-20
Abstract: 11,945. Medbery, N. H. June 11. Filling with liquids.-In racking beer or other liquid containing carbonic acid or other gases, into barrels &c., a portable device, such as that shown in Figs. 1 and 2, is used. It consists of a casing having a conical surface a' adapted to fit the bungbushing of the barrel, and provided with tubular branch connections a, b for the passage of air and liquid respectively. Fitted within the casing is a hollow valve c, having a port opening c<1>, and adapted to he rotated by the handle h. The valve is threaded exteriorly at its lower end to receive a nut n having perforated nipples e, which move in vertical guides in the casing to prevent rotation of the nut, so that, when the valve c is rotated to permit the flow of liquid, the nut n will he moved upward to compress the packing r against the bushing, thus securing the device in position. A delivery pipe p, which extends to near the opposite side of the vessel, is screwed to the end of the valve. As the liquid enters the vessel, the gases escape through the perforated nipples e and a longitudinal groove c' in the valve to the outlet pipe a. When the valve is turned to cut off the liquid, the gases pass through the nipples e, groove c<2>, recess a<4> in the casing, and aperture c<3> in the valve, to cause the liquid within the valve and the pipe p to flow into the vessel. The movement of the valve to cut off the liquid causes the downward movement of the nut n, thus automatically releasing the device from the bushing and permitting its withdrawal. In a modification, the air passages c<8>, c<3>, a<4> are replaced by an annular space communicating directly with the passages e. An adjusting-nut may be used to fit the device to any bushing, and to regulate the distance of the tube p from the opposite side of the vessel.
