Patent GB-190602797-A (GB)
Title: Manufacture of Pure Bordeaux-red Sulphurised Dyestuffs.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1906-02-05
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 2797. Imray, 0., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Feb. 5. Dyes, artificial.-Bordeaux-red sulphurized dyestuffs are prepared by heating saffraninones of the fatty series with sulphur and an alkali sulphide. The saffraninones are described as prepared from monoalkyl-m toluylenediamine and such substitution derivatives of p-aminophenol as o-chlor-paminophenol, p-amino-o-cresol, p-aminosalicylic acid, p-aminophenol-o-sulphonic acid. For example, sodium nitrosophenol is made just acid to Congo red with hydrochloric, or sulphuric, acid, and is then mixed with a solution, partly neutralized with sodium carbonate, of monoethyl-mtoluylenediamine base and hydrochloric acid ; indophenol separates out, but without removing it sodium carbonate is added, and heat is applied until the blue tint changes to red. The filtered residue is boiled with sodium carbonate, and then with dilute hydrochloric acid, and then ethosaffraninone hydrochloride crystallizes out on cooling. From p-aminophenol the indophenol is produced by oxidation. Ethosaffraninone is heated with sodium sulphide and sulphur at a reflux condenser until no further increase in dye-stuff occurs. This dye dyes cotton pure bordeaux, and becomes a pure violet when treated on the fibre with copper salts. Metho-, benzylo-, and other saffraniuones yield similar products. Specification No. 14,836, A.D. 1900, is referred to.

Title: Improvements in the Disintegration of Amorphous Bodies, and in the Subsequent Treatment thereof
Inventor: ACHESON EDWARD GOODRICH
Filed: 1907-04-03
Granted: 1907-07-11
Abstract: 7776. Acheson, E. G. Dec. 31, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Carbon.-Amorphous bodies such as graphite, lamp-black, precipitated alumina, siloxicon and amorphous carbide of silicon, are disintegrated and " deflocculated " by mixing them with a solution having effects thereon similar to tannin, and grinding the mass, the " deflocculated " particles' being afterwards separated by decantation. The powdered material is moistened with a solution of gallotanic acid, catechu, extract of straw, or the like and the mass worked in a mortar or pug-mill and afterwards ground in any suitable mill. When a specially pure, fine, and uniform product is desired, the ground material is diluted with water or other liquid and the fine disintegrated particles floated off. The disintegrated and deflocculated" particles may be recovered from the liquid by adding a flocculating agent, such as muriatic acid or a solution of alum, which causes them to flocculate and settle ; in this manner amorphous bodies may be separated from crystalline and other bodies. The disintegrated amorphous bodies may be dried and moulded into articles with or without the aid of heat, and will remain suspended in water so that they can be used as lubricants.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Metallization of Vitreous, Porcelain, Earthenware and the like Surfaces so that Metal or Metallic Alloy may be Electrolytically Deposited upon such Surfaces.
Inventor: MARINO QUENTIN
Filed: 1907-08-03
Granted: 1908-11-03
Abstract: 17,743. Marino, Q. Aug. 3. Ornamenting pottery surfaces.-Vitreous, porcelain, earthenware, or like surfaces are metallized by first roughening the surface, for instance, by means of the sand blast, emery, or hydrofluoric acid, and then applying a solution in hydrofluoric acid of the precipitate produced by adding cuprous oxide to silver-nitrate solution. The silver and copper in the solution are then reduced to the metallic state on the surface by applying a finely divided metal such as zinc or a mixture of metals.; when dry, the metallic surface may be rubbed briskly with a brush, and it is then ready to receive an electrodeposit of gold, silver, nickel, copper, or other metal or alloy. When parts only of the surface are to receive a deposit, for instance when ornamenting a surface, those parts alone are roughened and the solution removed from the smooth parts, say by wiping with a cloth.

Abstract: 27,395. McKechnie, J., and Vickers, Sons, &. Maxim. Dec. 11. Speed indicators; modifying scale of readings &c. - The indicator is of the type in which the shaft, the speed of which is to be determined, drives the pointer intermittently against the action of a spring, the position of the pointer depending upon the number of impulses given in a given time by an interrupted disk to the connecting - mechanism. The shaft, the speed of which is to be determined, drives the interrupted disk D through bevel-wheels H, the disk D being in frictional contact with the wheel E, the periphery of which is made of leather, rubber, or other elastic material, and actuates the pointer B through the gearing F, G, giving the spindle b a slower movement than the shaft. The wheel G is provided with a drum g, to which the spring I is attached by a flexible connexion i; the spring being adjusted by the screw j. The wheels E, F are carried on the shaft K, which has adjustable bearings k compensating for the slight wear in the working- surfaces. The disk D being interrupted for one third of its circumference, drives the pointer for two thirds of its revolution and the spring retracts it for the other third. A point is reached at which the rates are equal so that the pointer will remain practically steady. The train of wheels has the effect of reducing the force exerted by the spring, and diminishes the wear of the wheels. Various methods are shown of connecting the flexible connexion i to the drum g by means of cams, all of which allow of determining the speed of the shaft in either direction of turning. For low - speed indicators, the intermediate gear may be omitted.
