Granted: 1900-05-12
Abstract: 18,409. Poirrier, A. F. Sept. 12. Dyes, artificial.-Substantive black dyes are produced by first acting upon a simple aromatic substance, such as phenol, cresol, or aniline, with commercial sulphur chloride, heating the mixture to about 150‹-180‹ C. after the evolution of hydrochloric acid has ceased, and then adding a more complex polyamido or amidohydroxy compound, such as p-phenylenediamine, p-amidophenol, or diamido-oxydiphenylamine, and heating the mixture to about 200‹ C. The product, which is insoluble in water or acids, is rendered soluble by heating it with sodium sulphide to dryness at 200 C. The shades produced by these dyes are rendered more intense by subsequent oxidation by the air or by other oxidizing-agents.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Rotatory Vessels with Means for Charging thereto and Discharging therefrom Liquids or Finely Divided Materials.
Inventor: WUENSCH ALOIS
Filed: 1901-10-11
Granted: 1902-09-04
Abstract: 20,370. W³nsch, A. Oct. 11. Drying.-Relates to the supply and discharge of liquids or finely-powdered materials to or from rotary vessels while in motion, the use of internal scoops or buckets, such as are described in Specifications Nos. 6477 and 21,947, A.D. 1894, being dispensed with. (These Specifications relate to steamheated cylinders for drying textile fabrics and paper.) The rotary vessel is preferably provided with a straight and crossed belt or other reversing- device. A semicircular pipe r, Fig. 1, communicates at o with the interior of the cylinder, and is open at its further end v. A collecting-channel or trough s receives the liquid &c. discharged from the cylinder, or, if the direction of rotation is reversed, liquid can be fed into the cylinder from the trough. If a flexible tube is employed, its direction can be reversed instead of reversing the movement of the drum. Fig. 5 shows a device which enables the flexible hose r to be reversed without stopping the drum. The end of the hose is gripped by an arm b extending from a toothed wheel c journalled on the shaft a. A stop f is of such a nature as to hold the arm b against movement unless pressure is exerted on it. The pinion c gears with a toothed wheel d, which it normally drives idly. By placing the hand crank e on the shaft of the wheel d and turning it, the arm b can be swung over relatively to the drum until it is arrested by the other stop, the hose r being thus reversed. The shaft a is hollow. In the modified construction shown in Fig. 3, the drum is built up of overlapping flat tubular sections r, through which the liquid &c. can be introduced or discharged. The apparatus may be applied to colouring, tanning, or washing in the leathermaking industry.

Patent GB-190208386-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Copying Presses.
Inventor: KOKEN ERNEST EDWARD
Filed: 1902-04-10
Granted: 1902-05-15
Abstract: 8386. Koken, E. E. April 10. Copying-presses. -Relates to hydraulic presses, and consists of means whereby the initial movement of the platen, before pressure is applied, is rapidly effected. Fig. 3 shows a vertical section of the press. The fixed platen c is carried by standards b fixed on a base a. The movable platen s is guided vertically by the standards b, and is attached to the upper end of the rod q of a piston p moving in a cylinder k. The cylinder k is bolted to the base a, and its flange l forms a cover for the reservoir d containing the oil or liquid. The cylinder k also presses upon and holds in place the removable cover of a valve chamber e, into which a valve g opens from the reservoir d. A valve opens from the chamber e into the cylinder k. A passage u leads from the chamber e to a cylinder t having a piston v operated by a lever y fulcrumed in a block z fixed on one of the standards b. The end of the lever rests in the recess 9 of the block, and a spring 10 presses the end of the lever upwards, to prevent rattling of the lever. The end of the lever y is connected by a rod 2 to a crank on a short shaft having a hand-lever for operating it. The lever y engages the underside of the platen s, and, when it is first operated, it raises the platen and with it the piston p. The further operation of the lever and the piston v forces the liquid into the cylinder k and forces up the piston p to effect the pressure. A passage 11 leads from the upper part of the cylinder k into the reservoir d. To remove the pressure and permit the platen s &c. to descend, a passage 17 communicating with the lower part of the cylinder k is opened into the passage 11 by means of a plug or cock 14 having an operating- handle. To prevent undue pressure, a safety-valve 27, pressed by a spring 31, closes a passage from the chamber e to the reservoir d, and opens it when the pressure is sufficient to overcome the force of the spring. A passage 12 is made from the cylinder k into the passage 11, so that, when the piston p is raised above the passage 12, the liquid passes through and the piston cannot be further raised. In the glands r, w of the cylinders k, tare formed recesses 21, 22, from which passages 20, 23 are made for return of liquid to the cylinder k.

Title: Improvements in Electric Arc Lamps for Constant Potential Circuits.
Inventor: CAROLAN EDGAR ALFRED
Filed: 1902-12-16
Granted: 1903-11-26
Abstract: 27,770. Carolan, E. A., [General Electric Co.J. Dec. 16. Arc lamps.-An enclosing casing for the compensating and steadying resistances, adapted to dissipate heat readily, is described with reference to a construction of constant current differential clutch lamps and constant-potential lamps, the lamps being also provided with a special form of switch and with means for attaching the globe or globes. The hood A<1>, Fig. 1, of the lamp case carries a plate a<1>, with central tube C, to which is fixed a heatradiator E, the mechanism being surrounded by the shell P. The outer globe Q is hung from the holder Q<1> on the radiator, and the inner globe H has a plate F supported by the tube C and separated by an insulating-plate 17 from the ring G, in which is a circuitous channel for the passage of gases into the outer globe. The resistance case B has a cap 23 fitting over the neck of the lamp hood, whereby leads may pass through passages in the casting 20 to the resistance coils 31 contained in vertical insulating and heat-resisting tubes 27, secured to the shell 26 and positioned by projecting ribs thereon. There is an outer shell 40, fastened to the flange 25, and an annular cap 30, the parts being cooled by air circulation upwards through the perforations in the flange, and through the central flue, into which ribs 35 extend. There are lugs 37 on the arms 41, carrying an insulator 38 for suspension, and a screw 43 and cross-bar 44 for securing the case to the lamp. In the case of a constant-current lamp, current passes from the terminal a, Fig. 7, by the lead 1 to the plate w of a switch, which has two moving segmentsw<1> mounted on the insulating-block w<2>, and contacting with fixed plates x, x<1>. Thence it goes either through the tube C, trolley g, carbons N, 0, series coil p<1> with its shunt rheostat q, steadying resistance 5, and line adjustable resistance 11 to the terminal b, or through the shunt coil g<1> to the lead 34, and then as before. When the switch is thrown over so that the segment w contacts with the plate x<1>, the arc circuit is broken, and current passes through the compensating and steadying resistances 31, 5 to the terminal b. The shunt and series coils operate a rocking armature s, pivoted to the piece m and lifting the upper carbon by the rod l and clutch R. When the shunt armature and rod r<1> are in their highest position, the bridge-piece t makes contact with terminals u, u<1>, whereupon the arc is short-circuited by the lead 16, segment w<1>, plate x<1>, and the compensating-resistance 31. In the constant-potential lamp, where there is no cutout or compensating-resistance, the steadying- resistance only is placed in the top case, and in either type the adjustable portions of the compensating and steadying-resistances are accessibly placed in the lamp case.
