Abstract: 26,134. McGinn, P. J. Nov. 30. Wheels with aircompressing appliances.- In means for inflating a pneumatic tyre by the rotation of the wheel, a curved pump barrel 1 is attached to the spokes by means of clips 4 and is connected to the valve 23 by a metal or other tube 22. The piston-rod 5 has an arm 6 projecting at right-angles, to which is connected the end of a bent lever B pivoted near the hub at 9. The other end of the lever B is pivoted in the slotted end of a lever A which is pivoted on a plate secured to the spokes. A rocking catch 13, pivoted in eye-bolts 11 which are secured to the fork by clips 12, is normally held out of action by means of a wire 14 or other connection to a suitable handle. When lowered, the piece 13 engages the end 15 of the lever A causing the piston to be withdrawn from the barrel 1. In the next half revolution of the wheel, the piston is driven home by the projection 6 engaging the catch 13 which is ultimately raised, to allow the end of the pump to pass, by means of an inclined surface 18 bearing against a notch 19 formed on the catch. To allow the passage of the piston-rod projection, an arched piece 20 is fitted in two of the spokes on the one side. The motion of the catch 13 is limited by means of a projection 24 on the bolt 11 engaging the fork.

Acetylene.-In an apparatus for generating acetylene, the water or other liquid is supplied from the tank A in which the gas bell B sits to the carbide holder M through a pipe O and cock Q operated by the bell by means of a chain S and a weighted lever R. The pipe O branches within the retort J containing the carbide holder M, and distributes water &c. to perforated channels N on the edges of the holder. The retort J is closed by a cover K and screw clamp &c. L, and communicates with the bell B through a pipe T which is covered by a cap U having perforated branches V under the water level to lead the generated gas through the water &c. The cap U acts also as a water-seal to the retort J, and allows of the retort being opened while the bell contains gas. The gas outlet pipe X is covered with wire gauze &c., and may enter an external vessel W from which accumulated water from the gas may be withdrawn whenever necessary. The service pipe d is fitted to a purifier Z containing any suitable purifying-material in perforated trays strung on a rod depending from the screw cap Z<1>. The gas, when to be used for cooking &c. instead of lighting, may be drawn off at a service pipe on a carburetter e which contains strips of any suitable absorbent material hung on cross-ribs and is fitted with a petroleum inlet and outlet. The gas then passes from the pipe X either through the vessel W and the purifier Z or through the vessel W only to the carburetter, or it might be directly to the carburetter. The vessel W may be dispensed with. It is stated that the purifier Z, water seal U, vessel W, and carburetter e may be applied to generators of types other than that shown in Figs. 1 and 3.

Abstract: 13,489. Schnelle, F. O. June 15, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Separating granular and pulverulent materials.-The granular materials are fed from the hopper A on to a cone B, below which is a system of concentric conical receptacles D, E having outlets leading to boxes I, II, respectively. The cone B is carried by the hopper A, which is supported on grooved or corrugated rollers L carried by a ring R, one of the rollers being driven by a pulley P so that the hopper receives a shaking motion as it rotates. The ring R is supported on insulating columns S and connected to one terminal of an influence electric machine, the other terminal of which, as well as the receptacle E, may be put to earth. An electric field is thus created between the rounded rim of the cone B and the surrounding parts of the receiving hoppers, the particles which are less susceptible to electrification being received in the inner hopper D and the others in the outer hopper E. Or the hopper A and cone B may be supported by a glass column and the cone connected to one pole of the machine, a shaking motion being imparted to the cone by means of the glass support. Or a fixed cone B, of sufficient inclination to ensure the descent of the materials, may be used.

Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 25,901. Imray, O., (Society of Chemical Industry in Basle]. Nov. 28. Dyes, artificial.-Brown azo dyes, capable of being developed by chroming, are produced by combining an o-diazophenol derivative with a derivative of 1 : 2 : 4-, or 1 : 2 : 6-triamidobenzene of the general formula R-NH-C6H2(X)(NH2)2, where R is a radicle of the benzene or naphthalene series and X is hydrogen,-SO3H or -COOH. The triamido benzene derivatives are obtained by condensing bases of the benzene or naphthalene series, or their sulphonic or carboxylic acid derivatives, with 1 : 2 : 4-chlordinitrobenzene, or with dinitrochlorbenzene sulphonic, or carboxylic acid (NO2 : NO2 : Cl : SO3H or COO H # 1 : 3 : 4 : 5, or # 2 : 6 : 1 : 4), and reducing the products. The formation of the dye occurs in part even in mineral acid solutions, but better in acetic acid or sodium carbonate solution. In examples are coupled together, diazotized picramic acid and the diamidodiphenylamine sulphonate obtained from dinitrochlorbenzene sulphonic acid (NO2 : NO2 : Cl : SO3H = 2 : 6 : 1 : 4), and aniline ; diazotized picramic acid and the diamido diphenylamine sulphonic acid obtained from 1 : 3 : 4-dinitrochlorbenzene and p-sulphanilic acid ; diazotized nitroamidophenol (NO2 : NH2 : OH = 1 :3 : 4), and the diamidodiphenylamine sulphonic acid obtained from dinitrochlorbenzene sulphonic acid (NO2 : NO2 : Cl : SO3H = 2 : 4 : 1 : 6) and aniline; diazotized amidophenol sulphonic acid (NH2 : OH : SO3H = 2 : 1 : 4) and the diamidodiphenylamine derivative obtained from sulphanilic acid as described above ; diazotized sodium naphthionate and symmetrical diamidodiphenylamine sulphonic acid ; diazotized amidophenol sulphonic acid and the diamidophenylnaphthionic acid, obtained from 1 : 3 : 4-dinitrochlorbenzene and sodium 1 : 4-naphthionate.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Manufacturing Fibrous or Silky Candy and the like.
Inventor: MOVILLE JAMES LOUIS DE
Filed: 1904-12-22
Granted: 1905-09-14
Abstract: 28,162. Moville, J. L. de, [Morrison, W. J., and Wharton, J. C.]. Dec. 22. Moulding confectionery.-In an electrically-operated machine for producing fibrous or silky candy, means are provided by which the heating-apparatus is only brought into operation during the action of the machine. A compressed-air sprayer may be used for supplying colouring or flavouring materials to the finished candy. Fig. 1 shows an elevation of the machine, Fig. 3 a section through the switch, and Fig. 6 a diagram of the connections. The rotary pan a is constructed with discs d, e separated by a band c having moderately large perforations. The upper disc d carries a conical feeding-hopper f open at the top. The electric heating-appliance consists of a fine flat strip of suitable resisting-material, made into a helix or other form of close mesh to prevent the passage of unmelted particles of sugar. Instead of a simple circular helical resistance, a number of segmental helical resistances may be used. The leads from the heating-appliance are connected to rings k, l on the spindle m, which is driven by any suitable motor n. Preferably, a single switch o controls the motor and the heating-apparatus, a rheostat q being used to regulate the amount of current passing through the latter. The switch spindle 14 is connected to the sleeve 13 by a spring 15 so that the arms 11, 12 are caused to move from one set of contacts to the next only when the spindle has been turned sufficiently to raise the tension of the spring to the point at which it overcomes the friction between the brushes of the arms 11, 12 and the contacts. The pair of switch arms 12 are insulated from the three arms 11.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Rheostats.
Filed: 1905-04-13
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 7919. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. April 13. Switches.-A switch for regulating the separate excitation of a dynamo or motor consists of a single set of rheostat studs, traversed by two independent contact-arms respectively connected to the field windings of the excited and exciting machines. The preferred form, shown in Fig. 1, consists of a soapstone or other insulating-base 1 carrying a ring of studs 2 and two concentric continuous metal rings 3, 4, respectively traversed by brushes 8, 11 and connected to terminals 14, 13, whence run wires to the respective fields 19, 18, Fig. 2, of the excited and exciting machines. By means of handles 6, 11', the brushes can be turned independently, but cannot pass each other, as the ends are made to overlap. In other cases, this restriction may be dispensed with. A raised portion 16 of the ring 3 prevents the brush arm 8 from passing beyond the last stud 2, Fig. 1. The other arm 11 can pass on to a dead stud 23 by travelling up an inclined part on that immediately preceding, as shown in Fig. 3, the increased effort required calling the operator's attention. The binding-post 13 serves as a stop for this arm. A switch 21, Fig. 2, is placed in circuit with the excited field. Starting with both brushes on the first stud, current passes from the exciting-armature 17 to the binding-post 12, in connexion with the last of the rheostat studs, and then divides between the fields 19, 18, the former carrying much the greater proportion, so that coarser regulation is effected by moving the arm 8 and finer regulation by the arm 11.
