Granted: 1902-07-17
Abstract: 15,535. LefÚvre, A. L. F. July 31. Compound and multiple-expansion engines; cycles or systems of working; valves and valve gear.- Relates to single-acting compound steam engines with four cylinders disposed radially around and working on a single crank. Fig. 1 shows a central vertical section through the engine, and Fig. 3 a partial vertical section on the line a ... a. The engine has four cylinders A, B, C, D, of which A, B, C are of equal diameter, and D is of larger diameter than the others, the several cylinders being cast in one piece with the engine frame and crank chamber. Each cylinder has a slide valve working in an adjacent valve-chest, those for the three cylinders A, B, C being worked by the eccentric x, and that for the cylinder D being worked by the eccentric y. In addition to the above valves, a controlling or interrupting valve working in a transverse casing 3 is provided. As shown in detail in Fig. 3, this valve has three piston heads E, F, G, for controlling the communication between a number of ports and passages connected with the several valve-chests and cylinders. By various adjustments of the controlling-valve, one or other of the following systems of working can be set up, viz.:-(1) Direct admission of steam to the cylinder A, expansion of the steam from the cylinder A in the cylinders B, C, and final expansion of the steam from the cylinders B, C in the cylinder D ; (2) direct admission of steam to the cylinders A, B, and expansion of steam therefrom in the cylinders C, D ; (3) direct admission of steam to the three cylinders A, B, C, and expansion of the steam from these cylinders in the cylinder D. The eccentrics x, y are disposed at 180‹ apart, and are mounted loosely on the crank shaft so that they can be driven by epicyclic toothed gearing 23, 27, Q, R. In this gear the wheel 23 is carried by a stationary sleeve, and the wheels are so proportioned that the eccentrics run in the opposite direction to the crank shaft, but at the same speed. By an arm 25 the stationary wheel 23 can be adjusted suitably for reversing or regulating the grade of expansion.

Patent GB-190224427-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of New Derivatives of the Anthracene Series.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1902-11-07
Granted: 1903-08-20
Abstract: 24,427. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Nov. 7. Dyes, artificial; o-oxy-alpha-alphylamidoanthraquinones and their sulphonic acids.-New derivatives of the anthracene series, probably oxazines, are obtained by treating alpha-alphylamidoanthraquinones containing a hydroxy group in ortho position to the alphylamido group, and derivatives thereof, with oxidizing-agents such as chromic acid, manganese dioxide, fuming sulphuric acid,lead peroxide, mercuric oxide, and the like, and nitro compounds or similarly-acting bodies, such as azobenzene &c., which may be used with or without oxygencarriers, such as ferrous chloride. The new derivative obtained from 1-phenlyamido-2-oxyanthraquinone for example, is produced according to the formula :- The o-oxy-alpha-alphylamidoanthraquinones employed are prepared by condensing the corresponding alpha-nitro - o - hydroxy compounds with primary aromatic amines, the nitro group being thus replaced by the alphylamido group. Examples are given in which the following bodies are oxidized : - 1-phenylamido-2-oxyanthraquinone, obtained by condensing 1-nitro - 2 - oxyanthraquinone with aniline ; 1-phenylamido-2-oxy-3- nitroanthraquinone, obtained by condensing 1-3- dinitro-2-oxyanthraquinone with aniline ; 1-paratolylamido-2-4-dioxyanthraquinone, obtained by condensing alpha-nitro-xanthopurpurin with p-toluidine ; 1-phenylamido - 2 - 4 - dioxyanthraquinone ; and 1-5-diphenylamido - 2 - 4 - 6-8-tetraoxyanthraquinone. If sulphuric anhydride or fuming sulphuric acid is used as the oxidizing-agent, sulphonation takes place at the same time, producing oxazine sulphonic acids. The condensation of nitroxyanthraquinones with amines and the oxidation of the resulting compounds to oxazine derivatives can be performed in a single operation, as for example, by boiling aniline and alpha-nitroxanthopurpurin. The sulphonation of the new derivatives is effected by heating them, for example, to 50‹- 60‹ C. with fuming sulphuric (5 per cent. SO3 ), until a test portion dissolves without residue in hot water. The dye-stuff sulphonic acids yield violet to green fast shades on unmordanted or chromated wool.

Granted: 1903-05-07
Abstract: 2480. Woehler, H. G., and Woehler, F. Feb. 2. Sale apparatus for newspapers at 1 or 5 cents. Storage.-The newspapers are contained in compartments C, Fig. 4, formed by vertical partitions dropped into slots s in plates w on the casing, and are retained therein by hinged drop-doors G, G<1> and a shutter D, which is curved to slide in circular grooves in the plates. The three shortest compartments have a common dropdoor G' hinged by its lowest edge. Delivery-mechanism. -The shutter D is pulled up by a rope 10, to set free each small drop-door in succession and give three stages of opening to the large one. Actuating-mechanism.-The rope 10 from the shutter is connected to a fusee 8, Figs. 1 and 4, which is turned in the direction of the arrow by giving rotation between stops 15, 15<1> to a crankhandle 9 acting through a pawl 7 on the hub 3<1> of a cam 3, Fig. 16, and a three-toothed ratchet pinion 8<11>, Fig. 15. The step 31 of the hub 3 pushes down a lever 29 against the pull of a spring 30, so that, when the crank-handle is released, it is returned to the lower stop 15. A check-pawl 32 preventing reversal of the fuses is applied by the weight of a vertically-guided bar 40 acting through a lever 39. By lifting the bar which lifts an arm 41 under a pin 42 on the driving-pawl, the check-pawl is allowed to disengage itself and the driving-pawl is directly disengaged. Coin action.-Normally the play of the crankhandle is checked because the turned end 6 of the pawl arm encounters catches in a notch 14, Fig. 1, on a branch 13 of a detent 12 held down by a spring 24, but the cam 3 turning with the crankhandle lifts the detent clear of the pawl if a coin has been dropped down the shoot 2 which leads it into the gap between a flat part of the cam and a rigid finger 12<1> at the end of the detent. The coin is stopped in the gap by a lug 25 on a slide 16 in a guiding-strap 17, and, normally, one-cent coins are stopped, but, by putting a lever 19 to a catch 23, the slide is retained in a position at which it passes one-cent pieces but stops five-cent pieces. Coin-discharging mechanism. - After the first hump of the cam has lifted the detent clear of the ratchet gear, the shoulder 5, Fig. 1, rolls the coin over the lug 25 on the gauging-slide, and it falls into a box 26. Coin-slit closing devices ; displaying "empty" notices.-When the shutter D, Fig. 4. uncovers the last compartment, it strikes a short lever f, which shifts an " empty " notice a over the coin insertion slot A. Filling goods receptacles.-The top L, Fig. 4, of the casing being raised, the pawls of the actuating- mechanism are disengaged as previously described, to let the shutter D return by its own weight, while each of the shoot drop-doors is picked up by hand or hook.
