Abstract: 14,103. Rice, W. P. July 8. Malting. - A mal thouse, shown in plan in Fig. 1, comprises a germinating room 9, a drying room 10, a cooling room 11, and a furnace room 12. The germinating and drying rooms are filled with stationary or movable malting and drying units 14, 15, formed of racks of shelves. Cool air from the chamber 11 is drawn through the germinating room by a fan 26, and is caused by doors 28, and by air-spaces in the side walls of the units, to pass through or over the grain. Hot air from the furnace chamber is drawn through one of the doors 22 into the drying room by a fan 29 at the opposite corner. By using the other door and fan, the direction of the air is reversed to obviate the turning of the malt during drying. The shelves of the units are formed of series of perforated trays 39, Fig. 5, joined by ropes 45 and travelling in tracks 42. To remove the grain, the shelves are passed from one unit to another over a bridge track 56. Openings are formed in the track, through which the backs of the trays fall on to guide-rails 61. The grain falls into conveyers 48, Fig. 1, is raised by elevators 52, and distributed either to the germinating units or to the drying units, by conveyers 49. The shelves are loaded as they are returned, an adjustable levelling plate being attached in front of the unit. In a modified form of unit, the trays are removable laterally, and air openings are made in the opposite side walls between each alternate or each third shelf, or the trays are made imperforate and the side walls perforated.

Title: Process for the Manufacture of New Sulphur Dye-stuff Compounds.
Filed: 1906-04-03
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 8066. Chemisch Fabriken vorm. Weiler-ter Meer. Feb. 26, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dyes, artificial.-Sulphur dye-stuffs, when treated with quantities of alkali sulphides varying with the dye used, yield compounds which do not give the reactions of free sulphides. Thus silver and copper are not blackened. The compounds are decomposed in the cold by concentrated alkalies or acids, but with dilute alkalies or alkaline salts heat is required. The following dyes are mentioned as especially suitable for use, namely : auronal black, sulphur black, sulphur black T extra, thiophenol black, immedial black, katigen black, vidal black, and immedial indon. When applied to printing, the products are mixed with dilute caustic alkalies or alkali salts and the usual additions such as thickening hygroscopic substances. The fabrics after being printed are steamed to decompose the dye compounds. An addition of sulphur to the dye-stuff before printing increases the intensity and fastness of the colours.
