Patent GB-189705234-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Type-writing Machines.
Inventor: UHLIG RICHARD WILLIAM
Filed: 1897-02-26
Granted: 1897-04-24
Abstract: 5234. Uhlig, R. W. Feb. 26. Type - writers having the type arranged in three circles on a cylinder have the keys 5 pivoted in grooves a, b, c and provided with cam surfaces o n t h e operating ends and also catches f o r lifting plates 24. The cams act on two pivoted segments 22, 23, half on one segment and half on the other. The throw of each cam produces a different movement on the segment. The segments are returned by the spring 24<a>; rack levers 19, always in gear, move the spurwheel 13, which, carrying a sectoral rack 14, operates he long pinion 15 on the type-wheel shaft. A positive locking action is produced by a flyer. Two keys are employed for raising the typewheel to the level of the capital and figure circles. The segments 24 are connected to plates 26 by rods 28, and, through these, act to lock and restore the segments 22,23; other rods 106 are also operated by the motion of plates 26, and these act to feed the inking-ribbon by means of levers 104 and pawls 105 which act on ratchet-wheels 101, one wheel being thrown out of gear whilst the other is in gear. The paper carriage C is moved by a strap 64 attached to a spring drum carrying also an alarm bell which is operated by a spring click and stop on the carriage. The spacing is operated by double dogs 78, 80 acting on the rack 79. The dogs are carried by a pivoted lever 75 controlled by a spring 76 and operated by a cross-bar 117 by all the keys, including the spacing-key 83, and also by a release lever 87. The paper is fed between rollers 38, 37 capable of operation by hand, or automatically, at the end of a line. A margin stop is also provided which actuates the line feed, or can be separately operated. The printing is effected by a spring hammer rod 33 having a removable face 34. The hammer rod 33 is struck by a hammer 90 on a lever locked by a catch lever 92 and pin 93. The hammer lever is pivoted at 89 and has a spring heel 100 acted upon by a pin 98 on the lever 97, forming an extension of the spacing-lever. The lever first depresses the spring 100 and then releases the detent 92, 93, when the hammer is free to strike. The type-cylinder is formed of a light cylinder 118 having rings of type set on its periphery, and being secured through its web 119 by bolts 121 to a flange on the shaft.
Patent GB-189714376-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture of Sulphonic Acids of Guaiacol and of Creosote and of Metallic Salts of these Sulphonic Acids.
Inventor: IMRAY HAROLD
Filed: 1897-06-14
Granted: 1898-04-02
Abstract: 14,376. Imray, H., [Hoffmann-La Roche & Co., F.]. June 14. Medicinal preparations.-Two sulphonic acids of guaiacol are separately prepared by acting upon solid or melted guaiacol with concentrated sulphuric acid at 70‹-80‹ C. and at 150‹-160‹ C., respectively. The acids are obtained in the free state in aqueous solution by preparing their barium salts and decomposing these with dilute sulphuric acid. Crystalline salts are obtained by acting upon carbonates of the metals with aqueous solutions of these sulphonic acids, or by double decomposition of their barium salts, and concentrating the solutions thus produced. The salts are easily soluble, nearly tasteless, have no caustic action on mucous membranes, and are therefore suitable for use in medicine. By similar treatment of creosote with concentrated sulphuric acid at 55‹-60‹C., and at 150‹-160‹ C., respectively, two creosote sulphonic acids are obtained. These are only stable in aqueous solution. They yield salts in the same manner as the guaiacol sulphonic acids, and have similar properties.

Title: An Improvement in the Manufacture of Globes and Shades for Electric and other Lamps.
Inventor: DUNLAP FOREST WILLIAM
Filed: 1897-11-04
Granted: 1898-10-08
Abstract: 25,647. Dunlap, F. W. Nov. 4. Shaping; welding.-Relates to lamp shades and globes for electric and other lamps. A slender rod a, of glass of circular or other suitable section, is coiled while in a plastic state upon a heated mandrel, whereby the temperature of the glass is maintained at such a point that the closelyjuxtaposed convolutions a<1>, a<2> a<3>, &c. coalesce or become welded together, the extent to which they are so united being just sufficient to constitute a rigid structure without materially impairing the lens-like properties of the rod. To overcome the difficulty of withdrawing the mandrel from bulbous globes or shades, the latter may either be formed in two parts, which are subsequently welded before a blowpipe flame, or the mandrel may be constructed and removed in sections. When the globes or shades are made in sections, glass rods of different colours may be used.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Colouring-Matters of the Anthraquinone Series, and Intermediate Products relating thereto.
Inventor: WILLCOX Benjamin
Filed: 1899-04-17
Granted: 1900-02-24
Abstract: 8051. Willcox, B., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. April 17. Bromo- and chloro- .1 : 4<1>- diamido-anthraquinones are prepared as follows :-(1) Dibromo- 1 : 4<1>-diamido - anthraquinone is produced by stirring bromine with 1 : 4'-diamidoanthraqninone, suspended in glacial acetic acid or other suitable solvent, at the ordinary temperature for about 24 hours. The product, which is a brick-red powder, is collected, and it may be re-crystallized from toluene. (2) Tetrabromo- 1 : 4<1>-diamidoanthraquinone is produced by dissolving 1 :4'-diamidoanthraquinone in boiling glacial acetic acid, and adding bromine, and boiling as long as hydrobromic acid is evolved. The product separates as a brown powder on cooling. (3) A mixture of tetrachloro- 1 : 4<1>-diamidoanthraquinone (called product A) and another chlorinated derivative (called product B) is produced by passing chlorine through a mixture of 1 : 4<1>-diamidoanthraquinone and glacial acetic acid at the ordinary temperature as long as hydrochloric acid is evolved. The product A, which is a brick-red precipitate, is then filtered off, and the product B is precipitated from the filtrate as a yellow powder by addition of water. If chlorine is passed through the mixture until complete or almost complete solution is effected, the chlorinated derivative obtained is almost entirely the product B. Dyes, artificial, which dye mordanted and unmordanted animal fibre bright blue to blue-green shades fast to fulling and light, are produced by acting upon the above halogen derivatives of 1 : 4'-diamidoanthraquinone with aromatic amines, and then sulphonating the products. Examples are given in which tetrabromo- 1 : 4<1>-diamidoanthraquinone is melted with aniline, p- or o-toluidine, p-phenylenediamine, benzidine, or alpha- or #- naphthylamine : and in which the tetra-chlorinated product A above mentioned is melted with p-toluidine. The products thus obtained are separated from unacted-upon amine, and they are then sulphonated, for example, by treatment with concentrated sulphuric acid at ordinary or moderately-elevated temperatures. The mixtures are poured into water, and the dye-stuff is salted out of the solution.
