Title: Improvements in Transmitting Mechanisms.
Inventor: LENTZ HUGO
Filed: 1906-05-22
Granted: 1907-05-02
Abstract: 11,989. Lentz, H., and Bellens, C. Sept. 8, 1905, [date applied for under Patents. Act, 1901]. Valve-gear; eccentrics. - Relates to an arrangement for producing a d i s - placement of eccentrics of locomotives, steam-engines, &c. by the direct contact of toothed or screw-threaded members. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the bar c is provided with h groups of teeth e<1> ... e<4> respectively engaging similar teeth of the parts f<1> .. f<4> it is desired to displace, and teeth d engaging with the operating-bar a. A movement of the bar a displaces the bar c and the parts f<1> .... f<4> in the direction of their length. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement for operating an eccentric mounted upon a stud 7 of the counter-crank 7 of a locomotive. By means of a groove-and-feather connexion, the sleeve 8 can slide longitudinally as well as rotate with the stud 6. It is connected at one end to the sleeve 14 by circular grooves 13, and at the other end to the sheave 10 of the eccentric by oblique teeth 11. The sleeve 14 and the operating-bar 4 are formed either as a rack and pinion or as a worm and wheel, so that, when the bar 4 is respectively displaced or rotated, the sleeves 14, 8 are caused to slide longitudinally. By this means the eccentric rotates in its plane to alter the distribution to the cylinders, eventually reversing the engine. As the sleeve 14 does not rotate with the crank stud 6, the valve-gear is not influenced by the rise and fall of the bar 4 with the frame of the locomotive. To protect the parts from dust, an injection pipe opens into the casing and conducts a current of air produced by an apparatus mounted on the engine. In the compact form shown in Fig. 7, the operating-bar is formed with an endless screw 29 adapted to operate the movable sleeve 30. The teeth 31 of the sleeve 30 are notched at 34 to engage with the screw-threads 33 of the socket piece 32. When the sleeve 30 is moved, it carries with it an inner piece 35 connected to it by annular projections 37 and provided with oblique teeth 36 to displace the eccentric sheave. In an arrangement applied to a steam-engine, the eccentrics are mounted on toothed sleeves which are displaced along the length of the distributing-shaft by the movement of a rack-bar.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Motor-driven Clocks, Electrically Controlled.
Inventor: PARSONS ISAAC HARDY
Filed: 1907-09-20
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 20,878. Parsons, I. H., and Ball, A. E. J. Sept. 20. Electric clocks; systems of clocks.-Each secondary clock is driven for short periods by a motor, the duration of such periods being less than that of the periodical intervals of the electric currents from the master clock. The motor may be of any type that conveniently produces a slow motion ; or, as shown in Fig. 1, an electrically - driven pendulum A may be employed the energy of which is maintained by means of an electromagnet D, the armature E of which imparts an impulse by engaging a pallet C on the crutch B every time the swing has diminished sufficiently for a toggle 0 to depress a notched block P and.close the circuit of the electro-magnet through contacts R, R', R'. A pawl I on the pendulum drives a wheel F on a worm spindle G which drives the minute-wheel H. After a current has been received from the master clock, the pawl I drives the wheel F until it falls into a space F<3> from which a tooth has been omitted, the pawl then swinging idly with the pendulum until the next current is received and energizes the electro-magnet N, N'.. The armature M being attracted, the arm M' lifts a pivoted catch L, permitting a second pawl K pivoted to the crutch to drop, as shown, so that it engages a pin F<2> on a second disk F<1> on the worm spindle, and, as the pendulum swings, rotates that spindle, permitting the pawl I to continue driving for another, period. During this movement, the pin F<2> lifts the notched extremity of the pawl K so that its arm K<2> is again engaged by the catch L, the arm M having fallen to a stop N'. In a modification the electro-magnet is adapted to raise a movable tooth to bridge the gap in the wheel F when the current is received from the master clock. In a further modification, Fig. 3, the pin F<2> is carried by the wheel F and is adapted to raise the pawl K to mask the pawl I until the current from the master clock energizes the electro-magnet N which withdraws a catch M', permitting the masking pawl to drop into the inoperative position. The pendulum A may be periodically re-energized by means of a gravity lever acting oii an impulse pallet, as described in Specifications No. 24,620; A.D. 1904, and No. 919, A.D. 1907; the lever is restored by an eleatro-magnet; the contact's being arranged as described in Specification No. 27,445, A.D. 1906. Fig. 7 shows an alternative arrangement for maintaining the swing of the pendulum. The pendulum carries the armature of an electromagnet and also a pivoted link O<2>, which is connected to it by a spring O<3> and works around a platform P on a pivoted piece R, as shown by the arrows. When the swing diminishes sufficiently, the lug O' engages a shoulder P<1> and tilts the piece R, closing through contacts R<1>, R<2> the circuit of the energizing-electromagnet.

Title: Improvements relating to Processes for Dyeing Acetyl-cellulose or Fabrics made from the same.
Inventor: WETTER JASPER
Filed: 1907-11-02
Granted: 1908-11-02
Abstract: 24,284. Wetter, J., [Knoll & Co.]. Nov 2. Dyeing acetylcellulose and products prepared therefrom, such as filaments, artificial threads, or fabrics, is rendered possible by preliminary "treatment of the materials with an organic substance or an aqueous solution thereof. Suitable organic substances, such as amines, phenols, and their derivatives, which the acetylcellulose can withdraw from dilute aqueous solutions, may be used, when " dissolved " in the material, for the formation of azo dyes, aniline black, &c. on the fibre. Suitable treatment before dyeing as usual in aqueous solutions of such dyes as methylene blue, malachite green, fuchsine, safranine, anthracene dyes, and vat dyes, is to lay the acetylcellulose in dilute alcohol or acetic acid, ether, or soap solutions. Concentrated alcohols do not act so well as the aqueous solutions. Upon removal, the material is wrung out, mixed with water if necessary, and then dyed. In using amines or phenols, these may be set free from their salts by the action of suitable bases or acids. In some cases, the salts alone may be used. Salts of dye-stuffs may be used also with suitable acids or alkalis. In examples. acetylcellose is impregnated (1) with aqueous aniline solution to give aniline black by subsequent treatment with an aqueous solution of potassium bichromate and hydrochloric acid, or, after diazotization, aniline yellow and soudan I with aniline and sodium #-naphtholate respectively ; or (2) with p-nitraniline, aminoazobenzene, alpha- and #-naphthylamine, naphthionic acid, benzidine. and dianisidine followed by diazotization and coupling with #-naphthol to give in the fibre nitraniline red, soudan III, alpha-naphthylamine bordeaux, azo turkey red, fast red, and reddish-brown, and reddish violet dyes, respectively. Nitraniline red and alpha-naphthylamine bordeaux are also produced by treating the material with #-naphthol and subsequently with diazotized p-nitraniline and alpha-naphthylamine. Azo-chromine is obtained by impregnating with p-aminophenol, diazotizing, and coupling with pyrogallol, and bismarck brown from m-phenylenediamine as usual.
