Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of New Sulphurised Dyestuffs.
Inventor: NAEF ERNEST EUGENE
Filed: 1903-12-07
Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 26,700. Nsef, E. E., and Levinstein, I. Dec. 7. Dyes, artificial.-p-Nitrosophenol orp-nitroso-ocresol or an analogous or homologous body is condensed with an aminosulphonic acid of the benzene or naphthalene series which has its p-position to the amino group unoccupied. The dark solution obtained is treated with aqueous sodium carbonate, the reaction product filtered off, and then either transformed directly into a sulphurized dye-stuff by heating with sodium sulphide and sulphur, or first reduced by means of a solution of sodium sulphide, and the leuco indophenol formed precipitated and separated and then transformed into the sulphurized dye-stuff by heating with sodium sulphide and sulphur. In either case, the dye-stuff is separated from the melt by treatment with a mineral acid or with an air current. The products obtained dye unmordanted cotton bright greenish-blue shades fast to acids and light. In an example, the temperatures and quantities are given for treating p-nitrosophenol with naphthylamine sulphonic acid 1À6, as well as the quantities and temperatures for the subsequent reactions.

Granted: 1904-05-19
Abstract: 830. Marx, E., and Heuer, P. Jan. 12. Variable-speed gearing for use with machinery, vehicles, and the like. The shaft C, Fig. 1, is to be driven at a variable speed, and the hollow shaft A surrounding it is driven at a constant speed by means of a belt on the pulley P. The conical pulley N is formed in one piece with the pulley P, and is geared, by means of a crossed belt T passing over guide-pulleys V, with a similar conical pulley S on a hollow shaft U also on the shaft C. Pinions D, M are formed on, or secured to, the shafts A, U respectively, and gear with pinions E, L on shafts H, K ; pinions F, J are respectively secured to the pinions E, L, and gear, on opposite sides, with a toothed wheel 0 keyed to the shaft C. The shafts H, K are carried in a casing G which is capable of rotation. The speed is varied by shifting the belt T along the pulleys N, S by moving the guide-pulleys in a direction parallel to the shaft C. In a modification, the constant-speed shaft A. Fig. 4, is supported at one end in, and is free to rotate in, the variable-speed shaft C ; the pulleys N, S are carried by parallel shafts, the pulley S being rotated at a constant speed by means of the belt R ; and the pulley N forms a housing for the gearing D, E, F, M, L, J, 0 arranged as shown in Fig. 1. The belt T is moved along the conical pulleys to vary the speed. The planetwheels E, L may be arranged on a common axis of rotation with the driving-wheels J, F to dispense with a second driving-wheel and axis of rotation.

Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 22,493. Samuel, J., and Foley, J. S. Oct. 19. Money and cash boxes &c.-Children put their pennies or half-pennies at home into one side or the other of an automatic sweet-delivering machine, which serves to store the money as a money box does. The framework consists of the front plate h, two portions of which are made of glass so that the sweets can be seen from the outside, connected to end-plates, the framing being completed by the back, top, and bottom plates. The apparatus is divided into two parts, the delivery chamber and the storing-chamber, by a plate which is pierced by large holes for the sweets or other granulated articles to drop through into the drawers. The coin drops vertically down the conduit p on to the end q of the lever r, releases the catch in the lever from a recess in the side face of the drawer, and, the drawer then being opened, the lever is free to swing and the penny or other coin drops into the storage chamber. The drawers are made with a portion of their ends cut away, and as the drawer is pulled out one of the flanges of a lever enters this cutaway portion, thus closing the opening f for the sweets.

Title: Improvements in Electricity Meters
Inventor: ANDREWS JOSEPH DEVONPORT FINNE
Filed: 1905-04-19
Granted: 1906-04-12
Abstract: 8391. Andrews, J. D. F. April 19. Quantity meters, electrolytic. A closed vessel containing an electrolyte and solid metal electrodes is mounted in bearings so that the variations in the weight of the electrodes produce movements of the vessel. The vessel is constructed preferably in the form of a glass cylinder B with ebonite ends, and having a pivot or knife-edge on each end. The electrodes are preferably of copper and arranged one on each side. The movement and thus the electricity consumed may be indicated by a pointer G and scale. The current is reversed at intervals, a record being made of the reversals. This may be effected automatically by providing contact-stops J connected to an electro-magnet, which operates a reversing-switch and also changes the connexion of the stops at each reversal. The current-reversing device may be connected to a counter or controlled by a coin-freed apparatus. The Provisional Specification describes several methods of utilizing movements produced by electrolysis for measuring purposes. A wheel or other article, partly or wholly of conducting-material, may be placed between the electrodes, and either moved about a point near or at its centre of gravity, or depressed or raised in opposition to gravity or spring power, by the electrolytic effect upon it or upon the electrodes or both. The deposit on one electrode may be arranged to fall therefrom on to a suspended medium, or upon one side of a wheel or balanced medium, thereby turning such medium. The moving medium may surround or contain the electrodes and in some cases the electrolyte also, or the electrodes may be suspended from a moving medium, such as a balance beam. A wheel may be suspended by flexible fibres wound round its axle so that the rotation of the wheel winds or unwinds the fibres ; the raising or lowering of the wheel may be made to indicate the number of revolutions.
