Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 25,226. Metropolitan Amalgamated Railway Carriage and Wagon Co., and Morgan, A. E. Nov. 21. Vans with removable bodies.-In order to lessen the amount of handling in transporting meat from cold stores to shops, the meat is placed in a special van body which can be carried either on a railway truck or on a road wagon. Two of the bodies A, B, Fig. 1, are adapted to be carried by a railway truck and to fit inside an angle-iron framework 9 on the truck. The bodies are secured by chains 10, 11, 12, hooks 20, 25, and right and left handed screws and nuts 29, 30. On slackening the chains and undoing the hooks, the bodies can be lifted off by means of a crane and transferred to a float constructed with a low body 43, Fig. 3, to receive the removable van body A, and with sides 40 and a canopy 41 flush with the body A. The body A is secured by engaging the rings 28 with hooks 44. The rear of the body A is fitted with doors 4 opening to the sides and with a flap or tailboard opening downwards. The inside of the body A is fitted with a number of bars 55, Fig. 8, from which the meat is hung. These bars run on rails 45, 46, 52, 53 at the centre and sides of the van. The rails and the wheels on the ends of the bars 55 are toothed to prevent the bars from getting jammed. A windlass 62, worked by bevel gear 67 and a shaft 66 connected by worm gear to a handle at the side of the van, may be provided to facilitate lifting the meat on to the bars 55.

Inventor: WARD FRANK HERBERT HOARE
Filed: 1904-12-09
Granted: 1905-01-12
Abstract: 26,890. Ward, F. H. H., Ward, W. F. Hoare-, and BlÚriot, L. Dec. 9. Acetylene l a m p s ; carriage lamps.-A motor-car lamp is made with two or more acetylene generators connected to one another and to the burnerf through three purifyiug-chambers b so that the excess of gas generated by the one in use accumulates in the free spaces in the other. The water reservoir u is removable and forms a cover for the calcium carbide receiver p. Water reaches the carbide through holes x at the bottom of the reservoir extension tube v and then through holes t in the tube s, and the supply is controlled by a valve which is raised and lowered by turning the hand-wheel 9. The gas generated passes through the perforations t in the tube s, and through the passage k to the purifying-chamber band thence to the burner. If the pressure becomes very consider able, the gas can escape into the atmosphere through the reservoir in use by the holes 2 in the top, to which it is conducted by the funnel 10.
Patent GB-190500996-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Rotary Engines.
Inventor: RUSSO CHARLES
Filed: 1905-01-18
Granted: 1905-08-24
Abstract: 996. Russo, C., and Griffin, G. F. Jan. 18. Annular - chamber type.-The rotary engine described is reversible, and may use the steam expansively if required. The cylindrical stationary case 1 has end covers bored to receive the driving- shaft 4, which at one end is solid, but into the other end of which extends a crank-shaft 7 which is rigidly held against rotation. Upon the crankpin 10 is loosely mounted a sleeve provided with blades 11, 12 which extend through slots in the shaft 4. Four packed pistons 19, 20, 21, 22 revolve within the casing, each piston having a recess 25, with which one of the blades engages, and a recess 24 for the reception of a spring-pressed detent 14 which prevents the piston with which it engages from moving until it receives a blow from an adjacent piston, when, by virtue of the end of the detent being inclined, it is forced out of the recess 25 and allows the piston to pass. To reverse the engine, the four-way valve 28 is turned through ninety degrees so that the pipe 26 or 27 that was admission becomes exhaust ; also the detent 14 is rotated through 180 degrees so as to present inclined face to the approving edges of the pistons. The arrow shows the direction of rotation when steam is admitted by the pipe 27 and exhausted through the pipe 26. An engine suitable for expansive working is shown in Fig. 4, in which the pipes 26, 21 each lead to two passages 31, 32. These passages are controlled by valves 35, and are arranged so that the passages 32 are closed by the pistons when in the position shown. The nearer these two passages are to the detent 14, the higher the rate of expansion. If the valves 35 are moved so as to open the passages 31, the engine will work non expansively like that shown in Fig. 1. The exhaust from the engine described may be employed to drive another engine of larger capacity, or two engines in series, to produce compound working.

In place of the bevelgearing, the disks E, E<1> may be connected by levers, wires, or the like so that the disks are rotated in opposite directions.
Patent GB-190515524-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Discharging Dyed Materials and in Pastes to be employed therein.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1905-07-28
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 15,524. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. July 28, Dyeing.-A nitrite is added to discharging-pastes prepared according to Specification No. 12,169, A.D. 1905. The said pastes contain a formaldehyde-sulphoxylate or a formaldehyde-hydrosulphite and a metal, or metallic oxide or salt. Their alkalinity renders them unsuitable for discharging colours from animal fibres and also limits the colouring-matters that can be used with them for coloured discharges. According to the present invention, a paste is obtained which is only weakly alkaline or even neutral but which gives effective discharges. Iron salts are preferred, especially the chloride or sulphate. It is also preferred to add turkey red oil and an alkali citrate to the paste to prevent precipitation of any metallic compound on the material. Both free acid and free alkali are to be avoided. For example, a mixture of starch and gum tragacanth thickening and of " Rongalite " C., B.A.S.F." is slightly warmed to effect solution and then cooled and suitable proportions of turkeyred oil and iron citrate and sodium nitrite solutions are added. The dyed goods are printed with the resultant paste, and after steaming for a few minutes they are treated with dilute sulphuric or hydrochloric acid with or without oxalic acid. The goods are then washed and soaped. Treatment with chlorine is unnecessary. The iron citrate solution can be prepared from suitable proportions of iron chloride, water, crystallized sodium citrate, and glycerine. Instead of adding a nitrite to the paste, the dyed material may be treated with a solution of nitrite, and then the paste without the nitrite is printed on. This process is stated to give good results in discharging, for example, grounds of alpha-naphthylamine bordeaux, p-nitraniline red, chloranisidine orange, o-nitrotoluidine yellow, dianisidine black, or chrysoidine bistre and the like. To effect coloured dis harges, basic colouring- matters may be dissolved in phenol or aniline or the like and added to the aforesaid discharging- pastes together with the requisite tanuin. Any iron present can be entirely removed by finally passing the material through a luke-warm oxalic acid bath. Gallocyanine colouring-matters, such as " New Violet," can be used without the addition of a mordant.
