Granted: 1907-10-17
Abstract: 4235. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin and Soda Fabrik]. Feb. 20. Dyes, artificial.-Red colouring-matters in which three anthraquinone groups are joined together by nitrogen atoms, are obtained by condensing 1-aminoanthraquinone or its derivatives with a #-#-dihalogen anthraquinone which contains the halogen atoms in different rings. The dihalogen bodies referred to may be prepared from the corresponding diamino bodies according to Sandmeyer's reaction, or in other ways. In an example, one molecular proportion of 2 : 6-dichloranthraquinone and two molecular proportions of 1-aminoanthraquinone are heated with sodium acetate, cuprous chloride, and excess of nitrobenzene. The colouring-matter is filtered and washed, and may be obtained in a finely divided state by dissolving in sulphuric acid and precipitating with water. In other examples, 2 :7-dibromanthraquinone and 1 : 5-diaminoanthraquinones respectively are used. Specification No. 10,326, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Furnaces &c.], is referred to.

Granted: 1908-12-31
Abstract: 130. Doehler, H. H. Jan. 5, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Casting.-Machines for charging under pressure, of the type in which a pump cylinder is immersed in the melting - pot, have this cylinder formed with an extension i, Fig. 2, which supports the plunger g when withdrawn from the cylinder by narrow ridges f, reducing the liability to soldering- up by the molten metal. The channels thus left at the sides of the plunger serve for the free admission of metal to the bore of the cylinder, but dross from above is prevented from entering by the part g<3>, Fig. 1, of the plunger end. The operating- lever m<2> is pivoted above the surface of the molten metal in an extension of the cylinder casting, and is reduced in thickness at its end to pass into a recess cut into the end of the plunger, which is enlarged to take a head m, which has a rolling action on the sides of the slot, resulting in continual axial pressure on both forward and return strokes. A pivot connexion is thus dispensed with, and easy removal of the plunger is provided for without emptying the melting-pot. The pivoted mould frame n has a single clamping-tongue r centrally arranged with regard to the nozzle n<2> and engaged by a bolt t, Fig. 7, slidable and rotatable about a stud s<1> by a lever t'. The mould parts u, v are closed and opened automatically as the mould is turned into and out of casting position, by linkage from the handle q.

Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 8039. Tucker, C. G. April 10. Moulding biscuits. - A machine for cutting and p a n - ning biscuits comprises continuously moving dough and pan conveyers and a vertically reciprocating cutting-head which moves horizontally in the same direction as the d o u g h conveyer during the cutting action in a manner described in Specification No. 8038, A.D. 1908. The sheet of dough passes from rollers 70, 71 on to a conveyer band 10, which carries it under the cutting- head 72 and transfers the biscuits over a knife-edge 55 on to pans carried by a conveyer 39. The speeds of the conveyers 10, 39 are jointly adjustable, while the speed of the conveyer 39 can be separately adjusted, in order to vary the distance between the rows of biscuits deposited on the pans. When the space between the pans approaches the knife-edge 55, the conveyer 39 receives an accelerated motion of adjustable duration by means of an expansion core on the driving-shaft, and at the same time the knife-edge is lifted a variable distance for a variable period by means of a cam, which is radially and circumferentially adjustable on a disk 42, and acts on a slide 48 connected to the knife-edge by adjustable links. A brush above the knife-edge presses on the biscuits and prevents them from turning over or being disfigured.

Abstract: 14,049. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Kloss. M. July 2. Field magnets; commutators.-A coil of one or more turns is wound round the shaft of a continuous-current or alternating-current machine and supplied with a suitable current for the purpose of destroying the magnetism in the shaft due, for instance, to unsymmetry in the main field or to the connexions of the field poles forming a complete turn round the shaft ; the production of eddy-currents in the bearings is thereby prevented. The coil may be connected across the terminals of the machine with an adjustable resistance in its circuit, or it may be connected across a portion of the shunt field winding, or to a secondary battery, or it may be placed in series with the field windings, or in series with the commutating pole windings. In the case of rotating field magnets, the slip-ring connexions and the brushes may be so arranged that the shaft magnetization is partly neutralized. Fig. 2 shows the one effective turn a of the field winding passing round the shaft b and connected to slip-rings c, c<1>, on which bear brushes e, e' joined to the supply conductors d, d<1>. The currents flowing in the slip-rings in the direction of the single arrow-heads tend to neutralize the magnetizing effect of the turn a, the tendency varying according to the position of the field magnet. Another arrangement consists in taking a permanent extra turn e<2>, Fig. 4, round the shaft in the opposite direction to the turn a, or in passing one of the conductors d, d<1>, Fig. 5, round the shaft before connecting it to the brush.

Abstract: 15,089. Cody, R. D. July 16. Vapour lamps and burners. - An i n c a n - descent vapour lamp, intended chiefly for use with petroleum, is constructed so that a portion of the gaseous mixture is by-passed to provide a flame to heat the vaporizing and superheating chambers. At starting, the cup 16 is filled with a combustible which is ignited. When the chamber 9 has been sufficiently heated, petroleum is admitted by opening the valve 11. The vaporized oil passes through the passages 8 to the superheating chamber 5, whence it passes to the valve 18 by the pipe 17. Issuing from this valve it flows into the tube 19 and then into the chamber 2, where the air and vapour are mixed before passing into the burner tubes 4. A portion of the gaseous mixture passes down the tube 6 to the openings 7, where it is ignited and serves to heat both the vaporizing- chamber 9 and the superheating-chamber 5 which are filled with metal botings. A shield 22 is provided to protect the flame at 7 when the light is turned low. The invention is applicable to all cases where liquid hydrocarbons are vaporized to produce a Bunsen flame.
