Abstract: 7424. Marmuse, M. March 28. Oscillating-vane type of pump for compressing air for use with incandescent gas burners. The pump shown in Figs. 8 and 9 consists of a curved tube m of which the ends are respectively connected by pipes o, p and o', p<1> with chambers q, q<1> fitted with inlet valves r and outlet valves r'. When the tube m is oscillated about the shaft n, the liquid in the tube expels air through one or other of the valves r<1>, and draws air in through the valve r of the opposite chamber q or q<1>. The valves r, r' may be replaced by the hydraulic apparatus shown in Fig. 10, in which a piston s is substituted for the tube m to facilitate description. Upon the ascent of the piston s, air is drawn through the tubes x, u, and the water in the chamber o' rises in and seals the tube u<1>. The descent of the piston forces the air through the tubes u, x<1> to the storage chamber y, and causes water from the chamber o to rise in and seal the tube x. A high pressure may be obtained by using several apparatus in series.

Title: The Manufacture and Production of New Mordant-dyeing Colouring-matters.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1898-05-09
Granted: 1899-03-11
Abstract: 10,597. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. May 9. Dyes, artificial.-New mordant-dyeing colouring- matters are produced by acting with phenols upon the intermediate compound which is formed in preparing naphthazarin by the action of sulphuric acid, or fuming sulphuric acid, with or without a reducing- agent, upon 1 : 5-dinitronaphthalene. The process is conveniently carried out by stirring the naphthazarin melt, prepared in the usual manner, with a phenol at the ordinary or at a raised temperature for about 24 hours. The mixture is then poured into water, and the colouring-mattar is isolated by methods which vary with the phenol employed. Examples are given in which colouring-matters are obtained from the said naphthazarin intermediate product and phenol, picric acid, alpha-naphthol, and #-naphthol sulphuric acid (Shaeffer). These colouring-matters yield, respectively, greenishblack, bluish-black, greyish-blue, and greenishblack shades upon chrome-mordanted wool. Other phenols may be employed, such as phenol-carboxylic acids, halogen-phenols, dialkyl-amidophenols, resorcinol, pyrogallol, alpha- and #-naphthol and their sulphuric and carboxylic acids, dioxynaphthalenes, nitronaphthols, &c.

Abstract: 19,896. Stevenson, A. W. Sept. 20. Cutting-machines for paper, cardboard, &c.-In cutting piles of cardboard, paper, &c. to size by means of an ordinary guillotine machine, one side of each pile is trimmed and then the back-gauge is set to the size required and the opposite sides are cut. In order that both sides of a pile may be cut successively, a movable gauge plate F is mounted in front of the gauge E. The plate F being lifted, one side of the pile is cut, then the plate is lowered, the pile pressed against it, and the other side cut. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the plate F is guided on the gauge E by pins working in slots, and is supported by a weight on the end of a chain H, passing over the sprocket-wheel L. The wheel L slides on the square shaft M, and is moved thereon by the arm I so that it maintains its position relatively to the gauge. The shaft M is turned, to raise and lower the plate F, by a cord passing over a pulley thereon and connected with a treadle. In a modification, the plate F is pivoted to the gauge E. Two gauges with movable plates may be provided so that all four sides of a pile may be cut without lifting it from the table.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Distributing Mechanism of Steam and other Fluid Pressure Engines.
Inventor: BONJOUR CLAUDE
Filed: 1899-08-05
Granted: 1900-02-17
Abstract: 16,086. Bonjour, C. Aug. 5. Valve gear.-Relates to gear in which the distributing-valve is worked by a compound or differential movement, of which one constituent is invariable and the other is capable of being regulated under the control of a governor. Fig. 7 shows one form of the invention in side elevation. The valve is worked in this arrangement by a rod r, which is connected to a short crank on a spindle k supported at the free end of a lever a and furnished with a slide j. The lever a is oscillated about a pivot g by a fixed eccentric through the medium of a rod e, and on it is pivoted a floating lever b. One end of the lever b is connected by the rod f to the variable eccentric, which is controlled by the governor, and the other end is made to engage with the slide or arm j whereby movement is transmitted to the rod r. This rod is connected to the slide-blocks in a pair of slides s, t, by one of which the main valve is actuated. In one form of the invention, a similar double slide arrangement is employed on the lever a ; and, in another modification, it is done away with and a cam is employed instead of an eccentric. Modifications are also described, in which toothed wheels and sectors gearing together are employed instead of such slides. Another modification is shown in Fig. 14. This form of the gear is for use with helicoidal ports and valve edges, and is designed so as to combine an invariable reciprocation of the valve with a regulable rotary adjustment. The valve spindle 7 is reciprocated by the eccentricrod e, and is angularly adjusted by an arm 6 connected to an arm 4 turning on the pivot z and rigidly attached to the slide 3. This slide engages with a similar slide 1 turning about the pivot 2. The slide 1 is actuated by a connection at d to the expansion eccentric-rod f and rocking lever b.
