Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Changing Shuttles of Looms when the Weft is Exhausted.
Inventor: BAKER WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1899-09-09
Granted: 1899-11-11
Abstract: 18,234. Baker, W. H., and Kip, F. E. Sept. 9. Loom shuttle-changing mechanism.-The filled shuttles s are stored in a receptacle 9 on a stationary part, and, when the weft fails in the shuttle which is in operation, the lowest of the series is transferred to the lay 3 by a troughshaped transferrer 10, actuated by a bell-crank lever 11 and rod 16, and is held there by it until it has been thrown to the other side of the loom. At the same time the shuttle box 12, which is open at the bottom and mounted upon a shaft 13, is swung to one side by the arm 18 and rod 17 in such a manner as to eject the used shuttle into a suitable receptacle 29. Both rods 16, 17 are operated by a lever 15, which carries at its other end an electromagnet 28 and pivoted armature lever 26. The electromagnet is connected by means of suitable contact-pieces to a circuit through the shuttle, but normally a break is maintained by the pressure of the weft upon a spring finger on the bobbin. When the weft is nearly exhausted, the finger is allowed to make contact with a ring on the bobbin and thus to complete the circuit, which causes the armature lever to be brought into engagement with the cam-actuated lever 24. The filled shuttles may be held in the receptacle 9, and fed to the transferrer 10 as required, by two pairs of hooks 43, 43<x>, connected by links 44 and operated by a spring and a projection 45 on the transferrer.

Title: Manufacture of Green-blue Colouring Matters.
Filed: 1899-10-23
Granted: 1900-08-11
Abstract: 21,155. Abel, C. D., [Actiengesellschaft f³r Anilin Fabrikation]. Oct. 23. Dyes, artificial.-Green-blue dyes of the triphenylmethane series are produced by first transforming the leuco bases obtained by the action of tetra-alkyldiamidobenzhydrols on o-toluidine, as described in Specification No. 8959, A.D. 1899, into the corresponding oxyleuco bases by diazotization and heating. The yield is quantitative. The oxyleuco bases are next sulphonated, for example, by treatment with fuming sulphuric acid, containing 10 per cent. of SO3 at 30‹-40‹ C., and the sulphonic acid is isolated by conversion into its calcium and sodium salts, precipitating the latter by common salt, and then precipitating the acid by acetic or sulphuric acid. Finally, the oxyleuco sulphonic acid is oxidized by lead peroxide and sulphuric acid, and the dye - stuff produced is precipitated by common salt. Alternatively, the oxidation of the leuco compound may precede sulphonation.
