Title: Improved Means and Appliances for Concentrating Solutions and Obtaining and Conveying Salts
Inventor: HARGREAVES JAMES
Filed: 1905-05-20
Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 10,560. Hargreaves, J. May 20. Evaporating salts; vaporizing by air currents; liquids, circulating, agitating, &c.-Solutions are evaporated in a tank divided into a heating- compartment 11 and a settling-chamber 12 by means of a partition 10, and provided with means 5 for lifting the heated liquid in thin films into contact with a current of air. The crystals collect in the compartment 12 and are removed by jets of liquid 22. Baffle-plates 14 are employed to prevent crystals from setting in the compartment 11. Jets 17 of fluid are used to break any scum or crust which may form on the surface of the liquid. The pump 18 is steam-jacketed to prevent the separation of crystals in it. The circulation of the liquid may be aided by a jet 19. The thinfilm device 5 consists, in the preferred form, of cords arranged crosswise so that any crystals which are formed may be rubbed off.
Patent GB-190510936-A (GB)
Title: Machines for Corking Bottles, Jars and the like.
Inventor: GILCHRIST RAYMOND BEARDSLEY
Filed: 1905-05-25
Granted: 1905-08-17
Abstract: 10,936. Gilchrist, R. B. May 25. Corking. - Relates to a corking-machine comprising a bottle holder, a cork compressor, and a cork driver, all operated by a single hand-lever. The machine is provided at its front end with a socket 23, in which a cork may be compressed by a compressor 29 working in guides 28 and mounted by a pin 31 on a slide 32. The slide 32 is operated to compress a cork by a roller 43 on the hand-lever 40 entering a cam-slot in the slide, and, during the further movement of the lever 40, the roller passes out of the slot, and the compressor is held in closed position by the part 45 of the lever engaging a stud 46 on the slide during the operation of the cork driver. The bottle holder comprises a pair of jaws 48, 49, respectively pivoted to the frame by the vertical arms of a staple 50 detachably connected to the frame by pins 53. To ensure simultaneous equidistant shift about their pivots, the jaws are connected by a pin 56 ; they are normally held closed by a spring 57, and are spread to receive a bottle by rollers 63 mounted on the pin 31 engaging cam-surfaces on arms 61 formed at the front end of the jaws. The force of the spring 57 is thus applied to assist the cork-compressing operation until the jaws engage the neck of a bottle. Each arm 61 is so formed at its forward end that it tends to hold the operating means in its foremost position, so causing the force of the spring to hold the compressor slide and the hand-lever in normal positions, Figs. 1 and 4. The lower end of the pin 31 is bent horizontally to support the arms 61 against vertical strain during the driving of a cork. If it is desired to remove the bottle holder from the frame, a pin is inserted into a hole, so as to relieve one of the jaws from spring pressure. The cork-driving mechanism comprises a plunger 70 mounted in a slide 71 formed with gear teeth 72 adapted to engage a wheel 73 on the lever shaft 41. The wheel 73 is only threaded throughout a portion of its circumference, so that it only operates the cork driver after the operation of the cork compressor and bottle holder.
Patent GB-190519199-A (GB)
Title: The Manufacture and Production of Anthracene Derivatives.
Filed: 1905-09-22
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 19,199. Badische Anilin and Soda Fabrik. Jan. 3, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dianthraquinonylamine is produced by allowing 2-amidoanthraquinone, or 2-chloranthraquinone to act respectively on 1-chloranthraquinone, or 1-amidoanthraquinone in solution or suspension, and in the presence of a suitable condensing-agent. In an example, 2-chloranthraquinone is heated with 1 - amidoanthraquinone and naphthalene, anhydrous sodium acetate and cuprous chloride being added. On cooling, the naphthalene is extracted by toluene, leaving small crystals having a metallic lustre. Dyes, artificial.-Dyes which dye unmordanted wool brown-red shades are produced by sulphonating the above-described dianthraquinonylamine by fuming sulphuric acid, with or without the addition of boric acid.
Patent GB-190522331-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Production of Stable Dyeings.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1905-11-01
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 22,331. Johnson, J. Y., [Badishe Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Nov. 1. Dyeing.-Even, stable dyeings are stated to be obtained with the colours of the indanthrene series and other vat dyes of the anthracene series, e.g. indanthrene S and C, flavanthrene, melanthrene, fuscanthrene, cyananthrene, and violanthrene, without the use of special apparatus. The cotton or other textile material or fibre, after bleaching or extraction with boiling water, is padded or printed with a paste of the dye or mixture of dyes, and is afterwards treated with a solution or suspension of an alkaline reducing - agent, such as hydrosulphite (hyposulphite), tin hydrate, or ferrous hydrate. The goods are then washed, acidified, and finished. The mechanically attached dye is apparently reduced by this second treatment to the hydro compound, and is then fixed to the material. By way of example, this process can be carried out as follows :-A very fine paste is made by slow and thorough mixing of any one of the dyes mentioned with diluted thickening, and is passed through a fine - meshed cloth. This is padded or printed on to the goods, which are then dried or rolled up without drying. The prepared goods are then treated in the jigger at 60-65' C. in an aqueous bath of caustic soda and hydrosulpbite B.A.S.F. After this, the goods are washed, acidified in dilute sulphuric acid, washed, and soaped while boiling. For light shades, the prepared material can be developed by being passed once through the alkaline bath on a continuous broad washing-machine.

Abstract: 9831. Garroway, J. R. April 27. Motor road vehicles.-Apparatus for preventing the raising of dust and the spreading of petrol vapour and like volatile matter, of the type in which tubes mounted behind the road wheels communicate with a chamber into which the dust-laden air is drawn by a fan, is constructed with a special form of separating device in the chamber, while the wheel conduit pipes have hinged flaps or shutters which drop downwards and close the ends of the pipes automatically when the suction apparatus is not working. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the air and dust are drawn by the fan a through the pipes c, e into a chamber b, within which is mounted a filtering-chamber k, of circular, triangular, or square section, covered with a suitable textile fabric, and communicating with the fan chamber. The chamber k may be suspended on springs so that it vibrates when the vehicle is running, and thereby shakes the accumulated dust from the exterior of the chamber, whence it falls to the lower part of the chamber b and is discharged through suitable orifices. The dust-freed air is used for cooling purposes. According to the Provisional Specification, the exhaust gases may be led to the chamber b by a tube passing to a case fitting over the silencer and then together with the dustfreed air may be passed through a deodorizing- chamber filled with porous material moistened with paraffin or like chemicals, before being utilized for cooling.
