Abstract: 12,836. Wells, C. L. Oct. 24, A.D. 1896, [date claimed under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Buildings and structures, subaqueous; water supply.-Ditches and canals are constructed in the vicinity of volcanoes to guide lava and the like to centres or stations of transport. The heat is drawn off into appropriate receptacles, and transported to industrial establishments and buildings. Accumulators are also provided in these stations for gases and minerals which are liberated by volcanic emanations and eruptions. Tubes are sunk so as to tap hot and cold water springs, and to conduct the water to suitable stations.

Title: Improvements in Controlling Devices for Electric Motors.
Inventor: SEE HORACE
Filed: 1897-12-14
Granted: 1898-04-23
Abstract: 29,597. Lake, H. H., [See, H.]. Dec. 14. Steering-gear; electric steering, supplying current8 for.-Relates to a device for controlling electric motors and especially adapted to the controlling of a ship's rudder. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement by which a definite movement of the handle H produces a corresponding definite movement of the rudder 33 through the agency of the motor. The switch arm G operated by the handle H carries contact-plates I, J with insulating-backing and connected to the conductors 12, 10 as shown. Fitted in the path of these contacts are spring contacts E, e, &c. and F,f, &c., these being connected by conductors 9, 11 with the mains 2, 3. When the arm is moved in one direction, contact is successively made between the contact J and the spring contacts, and in the reverse direction the contact I engages with its series of contacts. Each time contact is made a current flows through one or other of the solenoids 15 or 16, lifting its core and rotating the wheel 23 through one tooth by means of one of the pawls 19, 20. This moves the rack 24, breaking contact between a finger 30 and a contact 26 on the rack, and making contact between the rack and the finger which is carried by a nut on the armature shaft. At the same time the rod 38 is rocked by the action of the energized solenoid, contact being made between 44 and 45, and 50 and 51, or between 46 and 47, and 48 and 49. A current is thus set up through the armature coils of the motor, its direction depending upon the movement of the arm 38. The armature now rotates and the finger 30 is carried again on to the contact 26, when a circuit is completed through the solenoids 13 and 14 and the arm 38 rocked into its normal position. An electromagnet brake m operated by the magnet 59 may assist the stoppage of the motor. The switch arm G is fitted with a spring bolt which locks it in position, while a spring connection with the handle prevents the contact-plates from resting on the spring contacts. The hub of the switch handle is in two parts 0, P connected by springs T. On turning the handle the arm is held locked until the bolt is drawn by its head from the recess a. The spring T then gives a quick movement until the bolt reaches the next recess. The current is thus sent as a series of impulses when the switch is moved over several contacts.

Title: Improvements in the Construction of Metallic Fencing.
Inventor: MILLER GEORGE
Filed: 1897-12-17
Granted: 1898-10-22
Abstract: 29,939. Miller, G., [trading as Miller & Sons, W.]. Dec. 17. Fencing.-Relates to vertical bar fencing capable of adjusting itself to the inclination of the ground. The verticals B, b, of angle or other section, pass freely through holes in horizontals A, which are attached to end posts c. Projections b<2> are formed on the bars b below the upper and above the lower horizontal bar, in order to hold them in place. The bars B with foot plates b<3> have projections b<2> below the lower bar, and cottars b<1> are passed through them above the upper bar. The fence is erected in place by first assembling the parts A and b, and then pushing through the bars B from below and securing them by the cottars b<1>. The projections b<2> are formed by punching out tongues from the metal of the bars, as in Fig. 3, or by means of rivets, pins, or bolts.

Granted: 1898-12-10
Abstract: 501. Tjerneld, G. Jan. 7. Driving-gear for boat propellers. - A railway velocipede is described, but the invention is stated to be applicable to boats. The pinions c, d,f are slidably mounted on the driving-shaft a and connected to it by ratchets so that the first two can turn it in one direction and the last in the opposite direction. Only one of the pinions c, d turns the shaft at one time, and they gear with racks k, h on the pivoted hand-lever i. When the pinion a is driven by the rack k, the pinion d runs free on the shaft, and when the stroke of the lever i is reversed the pinion d drives, and the pinion c is free. The shaft is driven in the opposite direction by sliding the pinions until the rack h gears with the pinion f and the rack k is free. All the pinions are thrown out of gear by placing the lever i in one of its extreme positions.

Granted: 1899-07-29
Abstract: 20,063. Willcox, B., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Sept. 21. Dyes, artificial, which yield yellowish shades upon leather and upon tannin-mordanted cotton, and intermediate products related thereto are produced by the following processes :-An aldehyde, such as formaldehyde or benzaldehyde, is condensed with a m-diamine, or with a m-diamine and a primary amine, and the intermediate products thus obtained are further treated with primary aromatic amines. The following examples are given, viz. :-(1) Equimolecular proportions of formaldehyde and m-toluylenediamine are stirred together in water, and the product which separates is filtered off, pressed, and dried. (2) Formaldehyde and two molecular proportions of m-toluylenediamine are heated together with caustic-soda lye and alcohol upon a water bath, and after distilling off the alcohol the oil which remains is washed. (3) The product obtained by the process (1) above is converted into another by heating it with p-toluidine and its hydrochloride. The mixture is then treated with caustic soda, and the toluidine is distilled off with steam. (4) Other intermediate compounds are produced by employing benzaldehyde in place of formaldehyde in processes (1) and (3). (5) Colouring-matters are produced by heating these intermediate products with p-toluidine and its hydrochloride at 120‹- 160‹ C., and, after getting rid of the toluidine, the dye is precipitated by means of sodium nitrate. A similar colouring-matter is produced by treating tetramidoditolylmethane, described in Specification No. 17,971, A.D. 1889, with #-naphthylamine and its hydrochloride. In the foregoing operations m-phenylenediamine may be used in place of m-toluylenediamine.
