Patent GB-190122762-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Colouring Matter of the Anthracene Series.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1901-11-11
Granted: 1902-10-09
Abstract: 22,762. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Nov. 11. Dyes, artificial.-A mixture of blue colouring- matters of the anthracene series, in the form of their hydro or leuco compounds, is produced by fusing #-amidoanthraquinone with caustic alkali in the absence of air. An example is given in which caustic potash is employed and the fusion is carried out at 200‹-250‹ C. The product is dissolved in water, and the colouring-matters are precipitated by a current of air. They are separated into two products A and B, by reducing them by means of a solution of caustic soda and sodium hydrosulphite at about 60‹-70‹ C. and allowing the solution to cool and stand for some hours, whereupon the hydro compound of A separates in crystalline form. It is converted into A by suspending it in water and passing a current of air. The product B is also precipitated by passing a current of air through the original mother liquor from which the hydro compound of A was separated. Both products A and B are converted into yellow products by the process described in example 3 of Specification No. 3239, A.D. 1901. A colouring-matter which consists almost entirely of the product A is produced by fusing #-amidoanthraquinone with caustic alkali and a solid oxidizing-agent such as potassium ritrate ultimately at 250‹ C., and then boiling the mixture up with water in the presence of air. When the fusion is carried out in presence of a reducing-agent, such as ethyl alcohol, at about 140‹-150‹ C., the product B is chiefly obtained. Reference is also made to the process of producing yellow colouring-matters described in Specification No. 24,354, A.D. 1901.

Patent GB-190203576-A (GB)
Title: Lubricating Apparatus.
Inventor: LIDDLE JOHN
Filed: 1902-02-12
Granted: 1903-03-12
Abstract: 3576. Liddle, J., [Force Feed Lubricating Co.]. Feb. 12. Lubricators.-Relates to lubricating-apparatus for feeding solid oil or grease, which may be compounded with graphite, to the cylinders and valves of engines and pumps. The lubricant is forced out of a cylinder by means of a piston operated by fluid pumped from a reservoir, the pump being actuated from some moving part of the engine &c. A number of pumps may be employed to operate various pistons, or some of the pumps may be employed to force oil from a reservoir to parts to be lubricated. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the reservoir is divided into two parts, one for containing oil and the other part for containing actuating-fluid. Six pumps are shown, four of which are employed for pumping oil, and two for forcing fluid to the chambers containing the lubricant. The plunger 1, Figs. 1 and 4, of each pump is provided with a yoke 2, adapted to receive a screw 3 carrying a block for adjusting the stroke of the pump plunger, A shaft 6 carries a casing 7 having external and internal ratchet teeth. A lever 10, connected to a moving part of the engine, drives a disc carrying pawls adapted to engage the internal teeth of the casing 7. The external teeth are engaged by a pawl 12 to prevent backward motion of the shaft 6. The shaft carries a disc 13 provided with a crank pin, which engages a yoke 17 on a rocking member mounted on a shaft 15. This member has a number of arms to engage the yokes on the pump plungers. A sight-feed glass is arranged in connection with each pump and is connected to a three-way cock on the supply pipe. The amount of feed is gauged by the quantity sucked into the glass. Should the glass become full, the threeway cock is turned so as to cut off the supply and open the glass to the atmosphere. The gauges may be arranged in connection with the reservoir, in which case the supply may be cut off by depressing a spring-controlled valve rod to close the openings or passage to the gauge glass. The rod is hollow and open at the top, so that the gauge glasses are opened to the atmosphere when the supply is cut off. Each of the luhricating- chambers, as shown in Fig. 1, is provided with a racked piston interposed between the actuating- fluid and the lubricant. In one chamber, a safety valve is shown which is actuated by a collar on the piston-rod to relieve the pressure when the piston is at the end of its stroke. In the other chamber, the piston-rod is hollow, and is provided with openings to relieve the pressure when the piston reaches the end of its up-stroke. The chambers are connected with the reservoir by pipes provided with valves, so that, by pulling down the piston, the actuating-fluid may be returned to the reservoir. Where a single lubricant chamber and pump are employed, the piston may be formed without a rod, in which case it is returned by removing the cap of the chamber and forcing it down. The reservoir is of the same size as the lubricant chamber.
