Abstract: 10,166. Menier, H. E. May 19, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Disc mills. - The substances to be treated, preferably in a viscous or pasty condition, are forced by a pump, or other similar appliance, through the hollow vertical shaft f supporting the upper concave rotary stone b, and pass between this stone and the lower concave stone a, being discharged into an annular trough h. The stone a, supported by a vertical shaft c in a ball-and-socket bearing d, is oscillated by a cam motion of the part e, or the shaft c may have a conical motion imparted to it by suitable mechanism. The weight of the stone b and its shaft f, which is capable of vertical movement in its bearing g, is carried by the stone a, and the grinding-pressure thus produced may be augmented by springs, or weights acting on the shaft f. The grinding-surfaces may be plane, the oscillatory movement of the lower stone being then replaced by a rectilinear reciprocating motion. The stone a may constitute the upper stone, being suspended by its bearing d. The stone a may be formed with annular portions rotating at different speeds. The framing may be made hollow to allow of the circulation of a heating or cooling medium.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Dyeing of Textile Fibres or Fabrics.
Inventor: WILD CHARLES EMILE
Filed: 1904-07-26
Granted: 1905-07-26
Abstract: 16,503. Wild, C. E. July 26. Dyeing.-In aniline-black dyeing of textile fibres or fabrics of wool, cotton, silk, &c., a permanent colour is obtained, without rotting or tenderine the materials, by subjecting the materials to strong currents of air after dyeing, preferably first in an open and then in a closed circuit. The material, preferably direct from the machine in the "gray "state," is first immersed in an aqueous dye bath containing aniline salt, aniline oil, acetic acid, sodium chlorate, copper sulphate and acetate, and sal ammoniac, in which the latter two substances are, and the acetic acid may be, in larger proportions than usual. The material may be previously boiled to remove impurities. After being dyed, the material is weathered or aged as usual and then oxidized. The material, moved about by any convenient means to give the air complete access, is subjected in an appropriate apparatus to strong currents of air at a temperature of about 103‹-105‹ F., and then, as soon as it is dry, the apparatus is closed, and the material subjected to a current of air in a closed circuit at a temperature of about 78‹-98‹ F. Before the conclusion of the oxidizing operation, a jet or current of steam or water vapour is preferably passed through the material to accelerate the oxidation. It is stated that in this way a deep permanent and uniform coloration is obtained and a small percentage only of cold chrome liquor is required.
