Granted: 1899-08-26
Abstract: 22,460. Green, A. G., Meyenberg, A., and Clayton Aniline Co. Oct. 25. Dyes, artificial; mercaptans.-Relates to dyes containing sulphur of the class described in Specification No. 21,832, A.D. 1898, and consists in reacting with sulphuretted hydrogen in strongly-acid solution upon (1) p-nitrosoaniline or its alkyl derivatives ; (2) quinonimides. quinonechlorimides, or analogous quinonoid compounds; (3) p-amidophenols,p-phenylenediamine, or alkylated derivatives thereof, in presence of an oxidizing-agent; (4) such nitroso compounds as on reduction with sulphuretted hydrogen give rise to p-amidophenol, p-phenylenediamine, oralkylated derivatives thereof. The Provisional Specification refers also to the use of the corresponding nitro and azo compounds. Probably disulpho-p-amidophenol, or its analogues, are produced as intermediate compounds, and then these are converted into dithiazines by reaction with a further quantity of the initial material. Disulphydro compounds obtained by reduction of the dithiosulphonic acids described in the above mentioned Specification may therefore be used in this process. The products dye unmordanted cotton from a sodium-sulphide bath dark brown and dark blue to black shades. An example is given in which p nitrosophenol dissolved in caustic soda s lution is mixed with concentrated sulphuric acid and acted upon by a stream of sulphurettedhydrogen gas whilst being heated to 60‹ or 7u C‹., and the solution is finally boiled. The black precipitate dyes brownish black shades. In another example p-amidophenol, with the addition of sodium hypochlorite, is similarly treated. The product in this case dyes indigo-blue-black shades.

Granted: 1901-02-01
Abstract: 4669. Soc. Artistique de PublicitÚs Nouvelles. Jan. 6, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Advertising.-Advertisement discs f are loosely mounted within grooves in a spindle a, which is constantly rotated by gearing. The discs are partly cut away to permit the advertisements on the discs at the rear to be seen in succession. Each disc carries a sliding pawl i, which, when slid against a stop on the spindle, locks the disc and spindle together to effect the rotation or change of the disc. The pawls i are thus slid in succession by projections on a drum n, which is actuated by ratchet gearing. Carried on each disc is a crank lever having one arm resting against a projection on the pawl i, and, as the disc rotates, this lever is tripped by a projection 1 on the frame, thus releasing the pawl from the spindle a, and disengaging the disc. One disc is adapted to engage with the next, to bring it into position to be thus actuated and, when all are exposed, the operation is automatically repeated. In a modification, the spindle a is oscillated by a cam, a spring, and gearing, and it is provided with a longitudinal groove into which a spring pawl on the hub of the disc enters to lock it to the spindle.

Granted: 1901-10-05
Abstract: 9481. Murphy, T. M. May 7. Tanks.-Relates to a tank for storing water or other liquid under pressure. The tank A is divided by a partition A<1> into a water chamber B and an air &c. chamber C, the chambers being connected by a pipe D provided with a cock b, and also a cock a for putting the chambers into communication with the atmosphere &c. The chambers may form separate vessels, connected by suitable pipes &c. Water is supplied to the chamber B through a pipe E<1> and a valve E, and a float or other valve is arranged to control the outlet F, the valve closing before the water reaches the bottom of the tank, so as to form a seal and prevent the escape of air. In the preferred form of valve, the valve G works in a barrel formed with a seating, and to the spindle g is attached a cup-shaped part H forming an air chamber h, air being supplied from the chamber C by a pipe 1. An auxiliary pipe J leads from the chamber B to the outlet pipe F, and is employed to supply water for releasing the valve from its seat when required. In using the apparatus, the chambers B, C are supplied with air at atmospheric or suitable pressure, and water is then forced in the chamber B until the pressure in the tank is the same as the supply. The water can be used as required, and, owing to the action of the valve in retaining the air, water can be again forced into the tank without having to renew the supply of air.

Title: Improvements in or connected with the Manufacture of Seamless and Weldless Tubes or Hollow Bodies.
Inventor: MCTEAR BALFOUR FRASER
Filed: 1901-07-03
Granted: 1902-05-22
Abstract: 13,519. McTear, B. F. July 3. Rolling.-A hollow billet or metal blank is rolled to a tube or other cylindrical body of uniform thickness and diameter by a loose roll 3 inside the billet 10 and a larger external driven roll 1. The billet is maintained in place sideways and endways by side rollers 4 carried by arms 20 on shafts 21, which are connected by links and levers 25, 23 to move symmetrically as the billet is enlarged, and which can be canted vertically in opposite directions to keep the billet in the middle of the rolls. The canting movement is obtained by mounting one end of each shaft 21 in a rocking bar lever 34, loosely pivoted at its centre on the shaft 2 of the roll 1, and operated by worm gearing and a handwheel 42. The shafts 21 are rocked by worm gearing 30 operated by a hand-wheel 33. The rolls are mounted in housings 14, the upper roll being set down by screws operated by worm gearing 9 from a hand-wheel 13. The upper roll is prevented from moving endwise during rolling by a yoke 46 engaging a bracket 45, but is withdrawn to allow a billet to be placed in position or a finished tube to be removed. The roll has a conical head 44 slightly larger than the bore of the billet, and is forced through the billet before rolling commences to remove scale &c., the bracket 45 receiving the thrust from the billet. The lower roll is then driven at a high velocity to rotate the billet, and a scavenging jet of steam or air is supplied from a pipe to sweep out scale &c. detached in rolling, the upper roll being set down to effect the rolling. When the billet is rolled to the desired size, it is suddenly cooled by pouring water on it, the rolls continuing to act while in the same position to produce a black planished surface. The upper roll may be raised by means of half bearings connected by links 16 to hand-operated levers 17. The Provisional Specification refers to a third housing for supporting the upper roll at an intermediate point when rolling short billets.
