Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Colouring Matters Containing Sulphur.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1902-07-12
Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 15,600. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. July 12. Dyes, artificial.-Relates to the production from methylene violet or its analogues of colouring- matters which directly dye cotton, from a bath containing sodium sulphide, bluish or bluish-violet shades. Sulphur monochloride is added to a solution of methylene violet in fuming sulphuric acid, and the mixture is warmed until all the methylene violet has been converted. The melt is then poured on ice and rendered slightly alkaline with ammonia, and the colouring-matter which separates out is washed and dried. The colouring-matter so produced may be dissolved in hot sodinm sulphide, sulphur being then added and the mass dried by raising the temperature. The mass can then be used for dyeing directly, but preferably it is dissolved in hot water, filtered, and the colouring- matter precipitated by blowing air through it. In a modification of the latter process, less sulphur is used, and the melt is boiled and stirred under a reflux apparatus until the original colouring- matter disappears, the dye being separated as before.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Alternating Current Dynamo-electric Apparatus.
Inventor: WINTER GABRIEL
IPC: H02K27/04
Filed: 1902-10-24
Granted: 1903-10-24
Abstract: 23,288. Winter, G., and Eichberg, F. Oct. 24. Dynamos; motors; dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling.-Relates to alternating-current generators, motors, &c. formed of a stator having a bi-phase or polyphase winding and a rotor having a normal continuous-current commutator winding and brushes located in one axis ; or the rotor may have a polyphase or multi-axial construction and the stator a single-phase or mono-axial construction, in which case the exciting-currents are supplied through the commutator. In the former case, the rotor and the stator phase-windings S, P, which have the same or approximately the same field axis x-x, are subjected to any desired potentials E', E<2> of equal periodicity, either direct or through series resistances, while the magnetic field component which effects the torque is produced by the second or other stator phase-winding M, producing a magnetic field with its axis y-y at right-angles to the axis x-x, by means of alternating currents of equal periodicity introduced externally. This winding may be placed on the rotor instead of on the stator. It is thereby possible to alter the difference of potentials applied to the windings having the same axis, or to alter the magnetic field. With motors, the speed may thus be varied with any load, and with generators any desired voltage of the same phase of periodicity as the magnetic field may be obtained with any speed independently of the load. The stator phase-winding having the same or practically the same axis as the rotor is connected in series with the rotor by altering the position of the brushes, so that the currents passing through this series produce ampere windings of approximately equal strength but opposite in direction. The desired effect is produced in this case either by varying the applied potential or independently thereof by altering the magnetic field. The number of stator and rotor windings may be equal, the windings corresponding to like phases being connected in series, so that the currents produce ampÞre windings of approximately equal strength but opposite in direction, and by means of a separate polyphase winding on the stator or the rotor a magnetic field is produced which at, any moment is at right-angles, or approximately so, to the axis of the opposed ampere windings. , One of the two windings having the same axis may be short - circuited through any desired resistances. The magnetic field may be excited by a winding or windings connected in series with the armature. In a modification, the winding M is abolished, the external current being supplied to the windings P or S on the axis y-y.

Granted: 1904-12-23
Abstract: 20,703. Lightowler, G. W., and Keighley, W. Sept.26. Yarns, warping and beaming.-In machines for warping and beaming yarns, the variable friction gear for driving and varying the speed of the warping mill or swift is arranged in such a way that the swift can be thrown out of gear with it, and the same gear put into action to drive the warp beam. The driving-pulleys 4 are mounted on a loose sleeve 3 on the swift shaft 2, and the sleeve is connected by gearing 6 to a shaft 8 upon which the friction disc 9 is fixed. A wheel 12, driven by frictional contact with the face of the disc 9, is adjustably mounted on a shaft 13, and may be adjusted radially in relation to the disc 9 by a forked hand-rod 15, which is fixed in any one position by a stop pin 16. The swift shaft 2 is driven from the shaft 13 by bevel-wheels 20, 21, of which the latter may be moved along the shaft 13 to put it into and out of gear, and is retained in either position by a pivoted forked arm 22 engaging in either of two annular grooves 23 in the boss 24 of the wheel 21. The warp-beam driving-shaft 33 is driven from the shaft 13 by means of spur-wheels 37, 36, bevel-wheels 35, 34, and spur-wheels 31. The shaft carrying the wheel 36, 35 may be moved longitudinally to throw the wheels 35, 34 into and out of gear, and is retained in either position by a forked arm 38 engaging either of two annular grooves 39, 40. To ensure the same uniformity in the winding of the warp on to the beam as that in which the yarn is wound on to the swift, the beam driving-shaft 33 is traversed longitudinally while the warp is being wound on the beam, by means of a forked arm 50 engaging an annular groove 53 in the boss 54 of the wheel 37, and fixed to the end of a screw 52 which is driven by a sprocket-wheel 55, thrown into and out of gear with the screw by a clutch 56. The wheel 55 is driven by a chain from a sprocket-wheel 58 on a shaft 60, which in turn is driven by a sprocket-wheel 61 from a sprocketwheel on the traversing-screw of the swift carriage.
