Abstract: 22,499. Jones, W. H., and Jones, B. H. Oct. 1. Making bottles &c.-Relates to the manufacture of aluminium or other sheet-metal bottles, or hollow-ware, of other than circular transverse section. The bottle &c. is shaped from a blank to cylindrical form by the ordinary process of drawing &c., and is formed with a neck c and an outwardly and downwardly turned rim d<1>. The bottle &c. is then filled with water or other suitable mobile and incompressible material, and the neck is closed by a plug stopper f which is secured in position by the screw g working through the crosshead h of the yoke l. The arms of the yoke are curved at o to embrace the neck, and are held in position by the sliding ring p. The vessel is then pressed between the dies A, B, Fig. 5, or between a series of such dies, which shape it to the required oval or other section. When, as in the case of water-bottles, it is desired to form a flat or concave surface on one side, the bottle is placed in the bottom die C, Fig. 8, the upper die D, having an aperture D', is placed over it, and the required surface is formed by the flat or convex die E, which is forced down through the aperture D'. Instead of filling the vessel with water &c., it may be filled with molten wax, which, when set, allows the stoppering-device f<1> to be dispensed with.

Inventor: GUY CHARLES
Filed: 1897-10-25
Granted: 1898-08-27
Abstract: 24,707. Guy, C. Oct. 25. Acetylene.-In a generator shown in section, granular carbide is dropped from a receptacle A through a slide valve E, which is opened by a gas bag M in proportion to the consumption of gas ; the carbide falls into water in a closed tank partly shown at B. The receptacle A is provided with a window a<1> and a screw cap a, and is attached to the tank B by a hinge and packing-ring at Q. The valve E is a slotted plate, moving over a similarly-slotted plate, and connected by a rod e<1> and lever G with a plate i, which is held up by a spring. The tank B is connected by tubes L, L<1> with the interior of the bag M ; this is supported adjustably at N so that it bears against the plate i. In normal working, the partly-inflated bag holds the valve in a central position such that the slots coincide and carbide falls through them. If the consumption of gas diminishes, the bag expands against the pressure of a spring e<3> and closes the valve. If it expands further, the lever G moves a spring-held lever J so that this opens the end of a tube K and releases gas from the tank B until the pressure is normal. If for any reason the bag collapses entirely, the valve is moved to the other end position and closed. The gas produced passes by a tube O to the lower end of a purifier P, containing cotton p and carbide p<1> on perforated supports, and through these to the delivery p'. The valve may be held closed by a stop h behind the lever G.

In the bearing shown in Fig. 2, conical rollers 4 run between the axle-box and sleeves 2 mounted on the axle 1. The sleeves 2 have ribs 3, and corresponding grooves are made in the rollers, which are thus prevented from moving endways. Adjustment is effected by means of the nut 8. To regulate the amount of adjustment, thin rings 9 are inserted between the nut and the end of the axle. one ring being removed each time wear has to be taken up. A thimble-shaped nut may be used with discs placed between it and the end of the axle. Dust is excluded at the inner end by the sleeve 10 and packing-rings 12, 13, and the outer end of the axle-box is closed by a cap 14. When the wheel is taken off the inner set of rollers is retained by the sleeve 10, and the outer set by a ring 15. In the bearing shown in Fig. 8, the rollers 4 are separated by thinner rollers 19. These rollers may run on the ribs 3 or on surfaces 18 formed on the ends of the sleeves. The sleeves are formed so as to overlap the rollers 19 and the reduced ends 16 of the rollers 4. To enable the rollers to be put in place, a slot is cut in each of the overhanging flanges. Dust-excluding washers are provided as in the bearing shown in Fig. 2. The invention may also be applied in connection with bearings having cylindrical rollers, in which case the adjustment is only longitudinal. The annular ribs may in some cases be formed on the bearing-cases instead of on the sleeves, or the sleeves or casing may be grooved and the rollers formed with ribs.

Granted: 1900-06-16
Abstract: 1 5 , 9 8 3 . Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Aug. 4. Dyes, artificial.-Relates to the transformation of rhodols and rhodol esters into dye-stuffs which are fast to soap, and consists in converting these compounds into ether-esters of the typeby acting upon them with alkaline or neutral alkylating reagents, preferably dialkyl sulphates. (Resorcinol) - diethylrhodol - methyl - ether - methylester is, for example, produced from diethylrhodol hydrochloride by mixing it with soda ash and dimethyl sulphate, and allowing the solid product to stand, or heating it to 90' C. for half an hour. The mass is pulverized and stirred with diluted hydrochloric acid until it is completely dissolved, and the new product is then salted out. It dyes calico treated with tannin vivid yellow-red tints fast to soap. When boiled with sodium-carbonate solution, or acted upon by soda lye, it yields diethylrhodol-hydroxyl-methyl-ether, which also dyes cotton but is less fast to soap. The same or similar dyes are produced in a similar manner from dietbylrhodol-carboxylic-methyl- or ethyl-ester, diethylrhodol-hydroxyl-methyl-ether, the corresponding dimethylrhodols, diethylrhodol-benzylether, monoethylrhodol-(hydroquinone)-diethylrhodol, and (2 : 7-dioxynaphthalene)-diethylrhodol. The diethylrhodol-benzyl-ether employed is produced from diethylrhodol hydrochloride, soda lye, and benzyl chloride. The (resorcinol)-monoethylrhodol is produced by heating p-toluenesulphofluorescein with hydrochloride of monomethylamine, zinc chloride, and quicklime at 200‹ C. The hydroquinone- and 2 : 7-dioxynaphtbalene-diethylrhodols are produced by condensing diethyl-mamido-oxybenzoylbenzoic acid with hydroquinone and 2 :7-dioxynaphthalene respectively, and sulphuric acid at 150‹ C.
