Title: Manufacture of Black Azodyestuffs for Cotton.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1900-07-16
Granted: 1901-06-08
Abstract: 12,804. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister Lucius, & Br³ning]. July 16. Dyes, artificial.-Black azo dye-stuffs for cotton are produced by first diazotizing a p -amido - benzene - azo - alpha - naphthylamine sulphonic acid, obtained from diazotized p-nitraniline or diazotized p-amido-acetanilide on the one hand, and an alpha-naphthylamine sulphonic acid capable of combining in the 4th position on the other hand, and subsequent reduction or hydrolysis, with one molecular proportion of nitrous acid, and then combining the amido-diazoazo product, which is diazotized in the benzene nucleus only, with one molecular proportion of amidonaphthol sulphonic acid-G in alkaline solution. Suitable alpha-naphthylamine sulphonic acids for use in the process are the 1 : 6- and 1 : 7 acids, or the technical mixture of them, and the 1 : 2- and 1 : 8- acids. Deep-black trisazo dye-stuffs are obtained by acting upon the foregoing disazo dyes with one molecular proportion of nitrous acid, and combining the diazo product with one molecular proportion of a metadiamine, such as m-phenylenediamine, m-toluylenediamine, or m-xylylenediamine. The same trisazo dyes are produced by first diazotizing a p-amidobenzene-azo-alpha-naphthylamine sulphonic acid with one molecular proportion of nitrous acid and then combining the amidodiazo product in alkaline solution with one molecular proportion of a chrysoidine obtained from one molecular proportion of diazotized amidonaphthol sulphonic acid-G and one molecular proportion of a metadiamine. The disazo dyes above described are converted into insoluble and faster deep-black dyes by diazotizing them upon the fibre and coupling them with dye-stuff components.

Granted: 1902-03-08
Abstract: 5049. Farmers' Co., and Wood, A. March 9. Sifting cotton seeds.- Relates to sifting mechanism combined with apparatus for cleaning and removing fibre from cottonseed. The seed is fed from a hopper by a roller A upon a pair of superposed sieves a<1> and a<2> mounted in a frame supported on rollers a<4>, a<4> and driven by a connecticg-rod a<3> from a crank on the main shaft of the machine. The seed having been separated from the coarse and the fine impurities, is discharged by a shoot 1 into the feed hopper 11 of a polishing cylinder c. The seed and lint fall upon a drum h covered with wire brushes which acting in conjunction with a series of fixed plates 13 separate the seeds from the lint. The seeds fall down the plates 13 to be collected. The lint is removed from the drum h by a revolving cylinder with brushes j, and is carried along the passage p to an ordinary condensing cylinder k from the surface of which it is removed by a plate k<1>. The lint passes from the plate k<1> into a box l<1> in connection with which is a compression block m which compresses the lint to any desired shape within the collecting box. The block m is forced backwards by a spring or weighted lever m<1> and is forced forwards to compress the lint by a cam lever m<2> operated by pins 15 on the condensing cylinder k. A modified form of machine is described in which a rotary sieve is employed for preliminarily cleaning the seed.
