Patent GB-190607617-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in, and the Manufacture of Discharging Pastes for use in, the Discharging of Dyed Textile Fibre.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1906-03-29
Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 7617. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. March 29. Dyeing. - In a discharging - paste containing formaldehyde-sulphoxylate or -hydrosulphite, an organic ammonium base or salt thereof is used instead of certain metals or metallic compounds, as described in Specifications Nos. 12,169 and 15,524, A.D. 1905. The compounds available are, among others, tetraalkylammonium, trimetbylphenylammonium, trimethyltolylammonium, and dimethylphenylbenzylammonium chlorides, trimethyltolylammonium iodide, dimethylphenylbenzylammonium hydroxide, methylene violet 3 RA, rhodamine Bextra, thionine blue GO, methylene blue, BG and NN, induline scarlet, safranine T extra, janus blue G, janus green B and G, and nile blue. For example, rongalite C is dissolved in gum - thickening at about 50‹ C. and an aqueous solution of dimethylphenylbenzylammonium chloride, or the free base, or of induline scarlet, is added. The goods are printed with this paste, dried, steamed for five minutes in a Mather- Platt apparatus and then washed. Although it is preferred to add the organic ammonium compound to the discharging-paste, the material cm be padded first with a solution of the said compound and then be treated with the paste containing the formaldehyde compound. Thus, the material is padded with an aqueous solution of dimethylbenzylammonium chloride, dried, and then printed with a paste of rongalite C and gum-thickening. Another example describes the preparation of an azo-dye in the cotton fibre from #-naphthol and alpha-naphthylamine, induline scarlet being added to the second bath. The material is then washed, soaped, printed with a paste containing rongalite C, and steamed as before. To prepare a coloured discharge there is added to an aqueous solution of auramine G, acetine J and gum-thickening, with stirring and after warming, aniline, a solution of tannin, alcohol and rongalite C. The mixture is warmed until the rongalite C is dissolved, and then cooled and to it is added dimetbylphenylbenzylammonium chloride. After being printed, dried and steamed as before the goods are treated with a solution of tartar emetic and washed. Amongst other dyes dischargeable by the pastes described are alpha-naphthylamine bordeaux, p-nitraniline red, chloranisidine orange and chrysoidine bistre.

Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 10,269. Thornton-Pickard Manufacturing Co., and Booth, W. May 3. Clinometers. - A distance finder or gauge is used in combination with a photographic viewfinder without a separate sighting or levelling device. The end of the weighted plumb D passes over a scale E, preferably in the same plane as the surface of the view-finder B or alternatively slightly curved. The indications on the scale correspond to distances of the ground line of the image when this ground line is brought to coincide with the edge of the finder. Such an arrangement is useful in determining the amount of tilt necessary for the back of the camera to preserve the perpendicularity of vertical lines in architectural subjects This is accomplished by the addition of a second angular scale.

Granted: 1908-10-30
Abstract: 23,930. Evans, T. F., and McGregor, R. Oct. 30. Moulding; hammer's, power.-In a turn-over table sand-moulding machine, the flask 31 is mounted on armsf, vertically movable on and rotatable about a pillar j, and the sand is rammed by a tup g frictionally lifted and allowed to fall, this ramming- mechanism being mounted on an arm also rotatable about the pillar y. The.'tup 'g has connected to it a wooden board h, and is lifted by a chain o connected to a'drum p loose on a shaft q; this shaft is driven through toothed gearing from a belt-pulley u and carries a friction clutch z, which is moved on the shaft by two pivoted arms 1 provided with a handle 2. A spring 4 normally keeps the clutch in engagement, and a pivoted arm 5 with a cam-surface engages the handle 2 to throw the clutch out, while a projection 7 on the drum actuates the arm 5 and so puts the clutch in and out, thus causing the tup to reciprocate. The chain o passes over a guide-wheel w and through a slot in the tup, thus preventing the tup from turning. A catch 9 operated by a handle 11 serves to hold up the tup when desired. A collar 14 connected to the arms f rests on a collar 1'5 on the pillar; and a counterweighted arm 18, passing through a slot 19 in the pillar with lateral extensions, engages the collar 15 and is lifted by a lever 23 from a handle 26. The collar 14 is firt lifted by this arm and then turned partly in the lateral extension of the slot. A table c adjustable in height receives the completed mould. The ramming-mechanism may be operated by fluid pressure.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Preparation of Secretions from the Thyroid or other Organs.
Inventor: HOENNICKE ERNST
Filed: 1907-12-06
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 27,023. Hoennicke, E. Dec. 17, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Albumens.-Extracts from thyroid glands or other organs made by maceration in salt solution and containing the active secretions are freed from dissolved cell albumen. The cell albumen may be coagulated and thus removed from the solution by heating gradually to about 80 to 85 degrees C. and then slowly cooling, or by heating to blood heat for a considerable period. In the latter case, or in the cold, coagulation is accelerated or produced by shaking, ur by the addition of more cellular or other easily coagulated albumen, or of blood, ferments, inorganic colloids, or of materials such as carbon which produce a surface action. In the cold, the cell albumen may be coagulated and removed by treatment with carbonic-acid gas, or by passing an electric current through the liquid. A similar effect may be obtained by filtering the solution through a layer of coagulated cellular albumen. A modified process consists in coagulating the albumen in the exterior layers of the gland by drying, or by dipping in alcohol or boiling water, and then placing the gland in salt solution so that the active secretion may diffuse through this outer layer, cellular albumen being retained.

Title: Improvements in Detonator Apparatus for Signalling on Railways.
Filed: 1907-12-20
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 2 8,134. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Healey, G. Dec. 20. Detonator apparatus.-In a detonator apparatus in which the detonators are carried to the rail by an endless chain, one link of the chain carries a tooth k to engage a fixed abutment l when the chain has performed a complete cycle, and this locks the apparatus against further movement until released by hand when the apparatus requires recharging. The links d carrying the detonators e are enlarged to engage in notches in the driving and driven wheels. The driven wheel c has teeth g engaging a pawl t to prevent backward motion. The wheel c is operated either by hand-actuation of the spindle i, or by means of the slider o reciprocated from the signal cabin. For the latter mode of actuation, the driving-wheel b has fixed to it a toothed wheel with the teeth removed at two parts diametrically opposite. The rack o has teeth for a part of its length only, and carries a pawl r for engaging teeth on the wheel b. The apparatus is shown with a detonator on the rail. To remove this, the slider is moved, and the wheel b is driven by the pawl r to bring the rack and spur-wheel into engagement to complete one quarter-revolution of the wheel b. In this new position, the detonator is off the rail, and the pawls g prevent the return of the cabin lever to its normal position. To put another detonator on the rail, the hand-lever and the slider o are moved to complete their stroke, and this brings the plain arc of the spur-wheel opposite the slider o, which can then be replaced without moving the wheels.
