Title: Improvements in and relating to Sulphur Dyes.
Inventor: OEHLER K
Filed: 1904-05-30
Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 12,270. Lake, H. H., [Oehler, K.]. May 30. Dinitrophenylchloro-oxytolylamine is obtained by the condensation of dinitrochlorobenzene (Cl : NO2 : NO2 # 1 : 2 : 4) with amidochloro-o-cresol (OH : CH3 : NH2 : Cl # 1 : 2 : 4 : 6). The condensation is effected, in the presence of sodium acetate, by boiling, in dilute alcohol solution, for about four hours in a vessel having a reflux condenser. The dinitrophenylchloro-oxytolylamine separates as a reddish precipitate and is filtered off and dried. It is difficultly soluble in water, and melts at 139‹-140‹ C. Dyes, artificial.-Sodium sulphide, sulphur, and water are melted together and dinitrophenylchlorooxytolylamine is added at 80‹-90‹ C. The whole is heated for about twenty hours, in a vessel provided with a reflux condenser, at a temperature not exceeding 125‹ C., after which the melt is evaporated to dryness at 105‹-110‹ C. It dyes cotton fast dark-blue shades from a sodium sulphide bath.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Adapting Breech Loading Guns for Practice with Miniature Ammunition.
Inventor: REID JOHN WATT
Filed: 1904-06-30
Granted: 1904-08-04
Abstract: 14,753. Reid, J. W. June 30. Ordnance, adapting for miniature - ammunition practice.-Consists or improvements in the inventions described in Specifications Nos. 2568 and 12,852, A.D. 1899. The breech end of the aiming- tube a is screwed into a disc b locked by an interrupted thread b<1> to the breech-screw of the gun ; the forward end of the tube is centered in the gun chamber by three arms q, with gun-metal tips q<1>, pivoted to a sleeve r on the tube, and formed with pinions q<2> in gear with a worm s, which is rotated on the tube a, by a pinion u driven by a shaft v passing through the breech-disc b. The breech-screw d of the aiming-tube is operated by the handle i, and, when unlocked, is withdrawn by a rearward sliding motion of the carrier e, on two pins projecting from the face of the disc b or tube a, to one of which pins it is hinged ; a stud working in a bayonet groove in the hinge pin allows the carrier and breech-screw to be turned out of line with the bore. A swinging arm pivoted to the rear face of the disc b interposes itself by gravity between the breech-screw d and the end of the tube a, so that the breech cannot be closed unless the disc b is interlocked vith the breech-screw of the gun, when the arm swings clear.

Title: Improvements in Electrical Fire Alarms or Thermo-indicators.
Inventor: CYON CASIMIR
Filed: 1904-07-01
Granted: 1905-06-29
Abstract: 14,847. Cyon, C. July 1. Alarms, fire and temperature.-Consists of a spiral spring a, Fig. 1, formed by welding together two metals of different coefficients of expansion, carried by a pivot b mounted on a graduated disc f on which is rotatably secured a contact-carrying piece h by an arm d, a disc n, and a bow spring. The piece h also carries an arm g electrically connected to the arm d by a platinum contact-strip k. An increase of temperature causes the arm c, carried by the pivot b, to revolve and, by striking the piece h, to break the circuit. The apparatus may be arranged to complete the circuit. Two coiled springs may be employed, one of which is rendered less sensitive to alterations of temperature by enclosing it in a cap as shown in Fig. 3. The current enters at the arm e and leaves by the arm l carried from the former by the insulating-piece h. The arm d is placed in front of the arm e bearing the contact-piece k, and the circuit is broken when the latter arm overtakes the former. The progress of the arm d may be arrested at a predetermined temperature by a stop g<1> carried on the disc f, the setting being effected by turning the disc until a pointer on the bracket m shows the temperature required. The disc is fixed in position by a setscrew. Figs. 5 and 6 show an alternative contactdevice in which any predetermined limit of temperature is signalled without the difference of temperature to be indicated being reached between the springs. The lever d in this form acts as a stop for a segment p mounted on a pivot o carried by the insulating-piece h. The segment carries a contact-piece r so that, when it is stopped by the lever d, the piece r opens or closes the circuit at the approach of the lever e and arm l, which carry contact-springs s, k. The stop g<1> is adjusted as before.

Abstract: 15,906. Dammond, W. H., and Graham, D. A. Aug. 3. Switches employed in an automatic electric railway signalling-sy-tem, wbich may be modified for control by an operator, and in which are employed track circuits and insulated track rails by means of which miniature or whistle signals on the train are given or the brakes applied and steam cut off. Just before the entrance to a block section, short insulated rails i, i<1> are formed in one track rail for actuating 'distant' signals, and a similar short insulated rail m is included in the other rail for actuating 'home' signals on the train. Track batteries e', f<1> energize track relays a<1>, b respectively, the armature of the relay a<1> controlling the circuit of the relay b, the armature of which controls through insulated contacts c, d the partial circuits through batteries h, g,to the rails i, and the rails p<1> &c. i<1>, m, respectively. Each train is provided with a pair of insulated wheels W,X to run upon the track, and with, an uninsulated pair of wheels Y. Circuits lead from the wheels Y to the train apparatus, and also from contact-brushes W<1>, X<1> on the wheels W, X to the trai apparatus. An electric generator AA on the train is provided for the train apparatus, which also comprises four electro-magnetic electric switches with armatures A, B, C, D forming multiple circuit-closers. The armatures of two electro-magnets aa, bb in the train apparatus give miniature indicating-signals by their movements, and may also actuate the brakes, cut off steam, or sound whistle signals. The armatures A, B, Fig. 2, refer to ' distant' signal indications, and the armatures C, D to ' home' indications, and uuder ordinary safety conditions, with the wheels W, X, Y on the track rails p, q, the armatures A, C are retained in the normal raised position by the energized coils E, G and the armatures B, D are in the lower position. The raised armatures A, C also close through insulated contacts P<1>, K<1> circuits through a coil bb, the contacts bridging circuit-breakers P K. An armature dd, is thus raised, and brings a. coloured disk ii before a. window ff. The various circuits closed by a passing train are described in the Specification.
