Title: The Manufacture or Production of New Dye-stuffs of the Diphenylnaphthylmethane Series.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1899-04-12
Granted: 1900-02-17
Abstract: 7709. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. April 12. Dyes, artificial.-New blue dye-stuffs, which dye wool in an acid bath without a mordant, are produced by sulphonating the basic dyes which are obtained as described in Specification No. 23,392, A.D. 1893, by condensing tetraalkyldiamidobenzophenones with p-alkyloxyphenyl-alpha-naphthylamines in presence of phosphorus oxychloride. The sulphonation is effected, for example, by means of fuming sulphuric acid containing 13 per cent. of free SO3, the mixture being made between 0‹ and 10‹ C., and stirring continued at the ordinary temperature until a sample is soluble in ammonia. The dye-stuff is then separated by pouring the mixture on ice, heating to 50‹ or 60‹ C., and neutralizing with sodium carbonate, whereby the sodium salt of the sulphonic acid is precipitated.

Title: Improved Means for Lubricating Cranks.
Inventor: MACDONALD JOHN KING
Filed: 1899-08-23
Granted: 1899-10-07
Abstract: 17,092. Macdonald, J. K., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Aug. 23. Lubricating cranks. In the case of rapidlymoving cranks, in highspeed sewing-machines for instance, centrifugal force tends to throw off the lubricant. To obviate this, the spherical portion c of the crank is cut away at the sides and the end of the connecting-rod d and its cap d<1> are made to embrace it, forming channels e at the sides in which the lubricant is retained. The channels e are connected by grooves f in the end of the connecting-rod and in the cap. When the crank is in motion, centrifugal force causes the lubricant to circulate.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Spraying Paint, Ink, and other Pigments.
Inventor: BURDICK CHARLES LAURENCE
Filed: 1899-09-09
Granted: 1900-07-07
Abstract: 18,265. Burdick, C. L. Sept. 9. Painting.-Relates to spray producers for applying paint, ink, and other pigments. Fig. 1 shows an apparatus for small work. The handle a and the part d carrying the nozzle and the reservoir f, 7 are screwed on to the central part b, in which the air valve c is mounted. A pin valve g, which controls the pigment supply, is closed by the spring hand opened by the forked lever i when the thumb-piece t is drawn back. A link u, also connected to the thumb-piece t, acts on the spindle of the air valve c when the piece t is depressed, so that the air and liquid supplies are separately controlled. An annular cam q, with a lug projecting through the casing, can be adjusted to hold up the lever i, in order that the spring h may not close the valve g too tightly, and the valve g can also be adjusted by the collar n. The air passes from the valve casing to the nozzle by the passage 5, and a packing 9 together with a flexible diaphragm v excludes liquid from the air valve. The reservoir 7 is connected by a screw or bayonet-joint. In the form shown in Fig. 4 for coarser work, the pipes 10, 11 are connected to the air and paint reservoirs and form the handle. A stud on the sleeve 22 carrying the paint valve g is connected by a link 24 to the air valve, and is provided with an adjustable stop 25 to regulate the opening ; the valves in this instance can thus be also separately actuated. A separate reservoir 7 with a valve 17 in its stem can be attached and the paint tube is then closed by a plug, the stoppers 21, 15 being removed for these attachments.

Title: The Manufacture and Production of New Sulphonic Acids and of Colouring Matters therefrom.
Inventor: OEHLER K
Filed: 1900-12-07
Granted: 1901-12-07
Abstract: 22,297. Lake, H. H., [Oehler, K.]. Dec. 7. Sulphonic - diazo -phenol - and - naphthol-sulphonic acids of the general formula in which X represents a benzene or naphthalene residue, are produced by acting upon the diazo compounds of amidophenols or amidonaphthols or their sulphonic or carboxylic acids with an alkaline sulphite. An example is given in which #1- sulphonic-diazo-alpha4-naphthol-#3-sulphonic acid is produced by adding to diazotized #1-alpha4-amidonaphthol- #3-sulphonic acid mixed with sodium-acetate solution a solution of sodium bisulphite. When the diazo compound has disappeared, the new product is precipitated by common salt. Dyes, artificial.-Monazo dyes are produced by acting on the foregoing sulphonic-diazo derivatives with a diazo compound, for example, diazotized aniline, or diazotized dehydrothiotoluidine, whereby a light-red dye for wool and a corinth dye for unmordanted cotton are respectively obtained. Disazo dyes result when a tetrazotized diamine is combined with two molecular proportions of the same or of two different sulphonic-diazo derivatives, or with one molecular proportion of a sulphonic-diazo derivative, and one molecular proportion of an amine or phenol, or a sulphonic or carboxylic acid thereof. For example, a blue dye is obtained when tetrazotized benzidine is combined with #1-sulphonic-diazo-alpha4-naphthol #3- sulphonic acid ; and an indigo blue dye results when tetrazotized dianisidine is combined with both alpha1 - sulphonic-diazo-alpha3- naphthol -#4- sulphonic acid and alpha1alpha4-amido-naphthol-#2#3-disulphonic a cid. In other cases violet to blue and bluish-black dyes are produced.
