Granted: 1902-04-25
Abstract: 8523. Buckingham, R. H., and Paton, G. W. April 25. Lubricators. - In a force-feed lubricator, the valve for supplying oil to the pump is operated by the apparatus employed to work the pump. A pump B is arranged in connection with an oil reservoir A, the plunger D of the pump being reciprocated by means of a suitable connection from the engine acting on an arm E. The arm E takes around a cam disc F, and operates the same through a clutch in one direction, but is released on the return of the arm. The clutch consists of a spring-controlled curved piece G, which carries at one end a pin g engaging the arm E, and at the other end a block i located in a slot in the disc F and adapted to engage the sides of the slot to drive the disc in one direction. Motion is transmitted from the disc F to the plunger D by means of a follower H working in a cam-groove in the disc. The sleeve Q of the follower is provided with an adjustable gland T, and encircles the plunger D and drives the same by the contact of the sleeve and gland with an adjustable sleeve R and a cap U on the plunger. The arm E is provided with a number of holes for the attachment of the operating-mechanism, so that the movement thereof may be adjusted to regulate the speed of the pump. The spindle K of the disc is formed with a tapered plug L held in place by a gland and having a longitudinal passage M opening into the reservoir A. and a radial slot N, which opens and closes a port leading to the pump cylinder. The plug is so arranged that communication between the reservoir and pump is established when the plunger D is rising, and is cut off when the plunger is falling and the oil is being fed to the delivery pipe, which is provided with a non-return valve.

Title: Improvements in File-cutting Machines.
Inventor: HEYER PHILIPP
Filed: 1901-06-26
Granted: 1902-04-10
Abstract: 13,009. Heyer, P. June 26. File-cutting machines.-The machine is for making files used in the manufacture of jewellery. The blank is held in the vice 0, which can be vertically and horizontally adjusted. The cutter w is clamped to a bar e free to slide in the hollow d and normally held centrally by springs f. The bar e may be curved as shown in Fig. 6, so that it may rock slightly on its axis. The holder d is rotatably mounted on a lever b pivoted at x<2> to a slide and attached at y<2>, z<2> to a spring g of variable tension and to the treadle connecting-rod p respectively. Rubber blocks or springs c press against the base of the slide and the lever b, and normally press the cutter against the blank. The slide is connected by a rod l to an adjustable crank-pin m on the disc k rotated by a pulley and driving-belt &c. As the slide approaches the blank, the distance y<2>, y<3>, is lessened, and the spring g is less effective in opposing the spring c, and hence the blow struck on the blank becomes stronger as the cutter moves away from the point of the blank. On the return motion, the blows become weaker, and at the same time the cutter falls into the teeth previously cut by reason of the bar e, being free to slide. In a modification, the lever b is pressed up by a spiral spring, the strength of which is gradually increased by a toggle-lever which bears on the spring.

Granted: 1902-09-13
Abstract: 18,333. Lake, H. H., [Chuit, Naef, & Cie.]. Sept. 13. Ionones.-Pseudoionone is converted in large yield into a mixture of cyclic isomers, consisting principally of alpha-ionone, by agitating it for two to three hours at a low temperature (- 2‹ to - 5‹ C.) with syrupy phosphoric acid, or at the ordinary temperature with pyrophosphoric acid. The mixture is then distilled, and a yellow oil is obtained, which contains about 80 per cent. of alpha-ionone, and yields a p-toluhydrazone of melting point 132‹ C. This oil is dissolved in sodium sulphite or bisulphite solution containing caustic soda and ammonium chloride, by agitating it therewith at 100‹ C. or boiling the mixture. After freeing the solution of impurities by means of ether, it is saturated with common salt, and upon cooling all the alphaionone compound separates in white nacreous scales, which are separated and decomposed by caustic soda or the like. By distilling the mixture with steam, pure and permanently-colourless alphaionone is obtained. From the mother liquors #-ionone may be separated.
