Patent GB-190706106-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture of Vat Dyestuffs.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1907-03-13
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 6106. Imray, O., [Society of Chemical Industry in Basle]. March 13. Dyes, artificial.-Vat dye-stuffs,which dye cotton intense violet to heliotrope tints of satisfactory fastness, are prepared by treating indirubin (the condensation product of indoxyl with isatin) with halogens, particularly bromine, in the presence of an indifferent solvent or diluent, preferably nitrobenzene. In examples, indirubin, nitrobenzene, and bromine are well mixed and allowed to remain for 24 hours, then heated for 3-4 hours in an oil bath the temperature of which is 130-140‹ C., and finally filtered and washed. The colour and other properties of the product can be varied slightly by varying the proportion of bromine used.
Patent GB-190707086-A (GB)
Title: Gas Turbine
Inventor: STEFFENS FRANZ
Filed: 1907-03-25
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 7086. Steffens, F. March 25. Elastic-fluid turbines. - In an explosion turbine, a double-acting piston reciprocates within the turbine rotor and so compresses gas into an explosion chamber, which is contained within the piston itself and is cooled by water sprayed from outside. Fig. 1 shows the piston 2 arranged to revolve with the rotor, and caused to reciprocate at the eame time by lugs 11 engaging slots 20 in the fixed casing. Gas enters through the hollow shaft 13 on the suction stroke and is compressed on the return stroke into the explosion chamber 1. Compression is aided by the rams 5. A sparking plug 16 and the necessary check valves are provided. The ignition circuit is completed through insulated parts on the lugs 11 and in the slots 2U. The rotor and piston are partly cut away so that water can be spurted through nozzles 9, Fig. 2, on to the explosion chamber. The chamber may also carry grooves, ribs, or wire-gauze 6 to assist the evaporation. Above the valve 8 through which the exploded gases are discharged is a shield 7 arranged to collect water. This water is vaporized and loads the gases as they rush out. Wipers are arranged to actuate the rod of the valve 8, and the times of explosion and discharge may be varied relatively. The opposite sides of the piston are connected by a by-pass 18 controlled by a valve on the rod 17. If the conditions of working are such that only part of the gas is required for the explosion chamber, the by-pass may be opened at the corresponding point in the stroke to allow the remaining gas to pass to the opposite suction side. The latch that actuates the valve-rod 17 may be set at will. In order to facilitate starting, additional wipers may be arranged to actuate the discharge valve 8 when half compression is reached. Fig. 1 shows two lugs 11 on the piston, and two helical guiding-slots 20 crossing one another, but modifications are possible, and are desirable when the turbine is run at high speeds. The intersections of the slots may be avoided by using a single lug and slot, or by the arrangement shown in Fig. 6 in wbich the lugs 11 work in siogle spire slots at different radial distances from the axis. Ball-bearing rings 23 may be fitted to run in the slots ; overhanging plates 25 keep them in position ; the slots and the casing containing them arc preferably made in sections. The piston with inclined faces 27, as shown in Fig. 6, gives better compression.

Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 14,845. Simeons, F., and Mainzer, J. June 27. Ornamenting metal surfaces; gilding and silvering.- Metal foil of the kind described in Specification N o. 14,185, A.D. 1907, is prepared by the machine shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1. A solution pipe 6 and air pipe 7 communicate wit h a spraying- nozzle 5 as controlled by a lever 8. The pieces of foil to be coated are placed with their edges overlapping on the supporting band P, and are carried up through the chamber 1 to receive a coating of spray, which strikes downward at an acute angle to prevent puckering of the foil. Surplus spray is carried away at 4, and any vapour produced escapes at A. The band then passes over a perforated pipe 10 supplied with compressed air to blow against the band P, thereby slightly raising the now connected metal band M, which is supported and dried by an air current from a hot plate 21. The band P passes round guide rollers, as shown, and is dried at 14. An auxiliary paper band H may be interposed as the band P and metal foil pass together over a further drying-plate 16, to prevent adhesion, and the finished foil is either wound up with the bands at 18 or separated and cut into sheets at S.

Title: An Improvement in Controlling Switches for Electric Trains
Filed: 1907-07-19
Granted: 1907-09-12
Abstract: 16,582. Siemens-Schuckertwerke Ges. July 28, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Switches.-Relates to a locking-arrangement for electric-train controllers of the kind in which a spring c tends to return the controller drum b to the 'off' position. As long as the driver's hand rests upon the handle g, the drum remains locked in any position against the return movement by the consequent depression of the handle bringing a rigid bar i into engagement with one of a set of stops k. When the driver's hand is removed, a spring h lifts the handle, and the drum is unlocked and returned to the 'off ' position. The teeth are ratchet-shaped, to allow the bar i to ride over them during the forward movement. To make the contact drum return more quickly, it may be provided with a snapaction device, while the end of the spring c is connected to the shaft d, between which and the drum a certain amount of play is allowed.

Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 27,985. Brown, J. A. Dec. 19. Sewing-machine feed.-A reverse-feed mechanism is described which may be fitted to any underneathfeed type of machine, and may be brought into operation while the machine is running. A segment I is mounted upon a spindle K in a bearing fixed to the arm B, and is connected to the pendent arm E' of the strap E of an eccentric D mounted on the top shaft C. An arm O is mounted on the feed-traverse shaft F, and on the arm is fixed a bolt P having a cone-shaped head Q, Fig. 3, which carries a lever R to the end of which a die S is attached. The die slides on a projection J of the segment. A second conical headed bolt U mounted on a lug T, carries a bell-crank lever V provided with an enlarged end, in the circular recess of which is fitted a slotted block which receives the lever R. The shorter arm of the bell-crank lever is connected to a treadle. For regulating the length of the stitch, a shaft 1 carried in the arm, is provided with a circular block 3 having a cam-shaped recess 4, and the enlarged end of the lever V bears against one of the sides of the recess. A stitchregulator lever 6 is mounted on the end of a shaft 1, and is provided with a spring catch 7 adapted to engage with the notches of a stitchgauge plate 9. The turning of the arm 6 causes the lever V, and consequently the die S, to be moved nearer to, or further away from the pivot of the segment I, thereby altering the amount of the feed which may be reversed from the treadle by depressing the bell-crank lever V and causing the die S to move over to the other side of the spindle K, the lever V being at the same time moved to the other side of the cam-recess 4. The segment and lever may also be connected either with the feed-traverse or the feed-rising shaft.

Abstract: 6982. Coffey, B. H. Aug. 22, 1908, [Convention date]. Vertically-driven rock-breakers.-Relates to subaqueous rock-breakers of the type in which a weight reciprocating in an air space strikes a rockbreaking chisel. A vertical caisson 1, guided between uprights on a hull 8, is divided by a diaphragm 10 into an upper space open to the atmosphere and a lower space containing a heavy reciprocating weight 17. At the lower end of the caisson is a mouthpiece, suspended by chains 31 and guiding a rock-breaking chisel 3. Water is excluded from the caisson by air compressed in an apparatus 12, arranged to deliver an excess quantity which escapes by openings 16 in the mouthpiece and clears away sand overlying the rock. The weight 17 is lifted by a rod 20, passing through a stuffing-box in the diaphragm and provided with a barbed end engaging a bell clutch 27 connected to tackle wound on a drum 23 ; the clutch is released by a lever 28 when the weight has been lifted. The weight is guided by rings 18 formed with air passages 19. To lift the caisson when moving it to a new position, the weight 17 is lifted to engage the diaphragm 10 ; the mouthpiece is then supported by the chains 31, and the chisel by its head 22. The mouthpiece may be in one piece with the caisson. The chisel may be guided by the caisson walls. The aircompressing apparatus may be replaced by a gasgenerating apparatus ; and the air may be heated to keep the moving parts warm.
