Granted: 1901-10-12
Abstract: 16,724. Rawlinson, J. Sept. 19. Sawing; boring and drilling; workholding devices. - Relates to a system of spring stops for use in boring, drilling, sawing, and other machines, by which the material to be operated upon can be readily brought into o a series of prearranged positions. The device is described with reference to a chain mortising-machine. The stops consist of studs B, C, D which are pressed up by springs through the table A on which the work I is supported. The table is grooved underneath to allow free movement of the springs and studs. The end of the wood I is first placed against the stud B, and a mortise is cut by feeding down the chain cutter b. The wood is then passed over the stud B, which is thereby depressed, and pushed against the second stop C, and so on. Recesses may be cut in the table A, to allow mortises to be cut right through the wood.

Granted: 1902-10-02
Abstract: 21,879. Johnson, G. W., [Kalle & Co.]. Oct. 30. Dyes, artificial.-Dyes containing sulphur, which are entirely soluble in water and dye cotton bluegreen black shades, are produced by melting with sulphur and sodium sulphide, to which caustic alkali or glycerin has been added, mixtures in molecular proportions of diphenylamine derivatives which are obtained by the action of dioitrochlorobenzene (Cl : NO2 : NO2 = 1 : 2: 4) on p-phenylenediamine or its sulphonic acid, on the one hand, and on p-amidosalicylic acid or p-amidophenol on the other hand. In the examples given, the mixtures are heated in an oil bath to 120‹ C., and then dried in an oven at 150‹ C. The molecular mixtures of the diphenylamine derivatives above-mentioned may be produced by reducing an azo dye obtained by the combination of diazotized nitraniline or its o-sulphonic acid with salicylic acid or phenol, and then condensing the mixed reduction products with two molecular proportions of dinitrochlorobenzene in the presence of sodium acetate or the like.

Granted: 1904-06-09
Abstract: 17,524. Rockwell, A. F. Aug. 12. Clutches. -Relates to a free - wbeel clutch mechanism for bicycles, and other vehicles, which, if desired, may be arranged to form a support for the pedals during free-wheeling. When the chainring is turned in a forward direction, a cone D, provided with a driving-sleeve having a quick-pitch screw-thread D', draws a clutch sleeve K into engagement with the interior of the conical hub F. In free-wheeling, or on turning the chain-ring backwards, the continued forward rotation of the hub moves the clutch sleeve out of engagement, leaving the hub free to rotate independently of the pedals. A spring L ensures the action of the clutch. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, a support tor the pedals is provided during " coast- "ing." For this purpose, the fixed cone C has a tapering projection adapted to be engaged by the clutch sleeve when the hub is free, so that the pedals throagh the driving and clutch sleeves, become locked to the fixed cone and are thus prevented from turning further backwards. When the cone C has a lever M connecting it to the frame, the cone may be allowed a certain amount of play upon the spindle, and a spring or the like may be disposed between the lever and the frame.
