Title: Improvements in Reaping Machines.
Inventor: SANSARLAT LOUIS
Filed: 1900-03-19
Granted: 1901-03-19
Abstract: 5159. Sansarlat, L. March 19. Reaping-machines. - Relates principally to the reel and to the platform and platform rakes of reaping-machines. The platform 24 is secured at the rear of the cutting-apparatus. The platform rake 1 is secured so as to have freedom of vertical movement in a casting fixed to the top of the oscillating vertical shaft 4. The shaft 4 is oscillated by means of a mutilated pinion 14 gearing alternately with two segments such as 15, secured to the shaft. The pinion 14 is actuated from the road wheel 22 by means of suitable gearing, of which three modifications are described. The rake 1 is raised and lowered so as to pass over the crop on its forward movement, and sweep the crop off the platform on its rearward movement by means of a roller on the rake shaft and a fixed cam guide 9 with a spring-pivoted latch. A stop operated by the driver is applied to the cam 9 to cause the rake to be raised above the platform as long as may be desired. The reel 36 is driven, preferably from the shaft of the pinion 14, by the chain gearing shown.

Granted: 1901-06-22
Abstract: 23,859. Haddan, H. J., [Ramage, A. S.]. Dec. 31. Paints, materials for.-Relates to the production of a new iron oxide having the formula Fe2O3FeO, and containing 72À4 per cent. of metallic iron, from waste ferrous liquor, such as iron pickle liquor, whether sulphate or chloride. The process consists in oxidizing the liquor with waste chlorine or other oxidizing-agents, such as steam and air, until two-thirds of the metallic iron is oxidized to the ferric state, thus bringing the bulk up to at least three times the original bulk, adding boiling water if necessary for the purpose, and finally adding a solution of caustic or carbonated alkali or alkaline earth during agitation until the iron is thrown down as a black precipitate. The reaction takes place in a vessel b having an agitator m. The oxidizing-agent is led in by the perforated tube h<1>, and the alkali or alkaline earth by a tube a' from a raised tank a also having an agitator l. The product is run into a tank c, from which it is forced by a pump g to a filter press d. 'The alkaline chloride or sulphate or the alkaline earth chloride solution runs away. When, however, an alkaline earth has been used with a ferrous sulphate liquor, the sulphate formed remains with the iron oxide in the filter. The iron oxide is washed and dried at a low temperature.

Granted: 1901-11-30
Abstract: 3506. Clarke, P. B. Feb. 18. Barges; bunkers.-Relates to apparatus for opening and closing the discharge outlet of bunkers in a coaling barge. As shown in Fig. 5, the bottom of the bunker 4 is hopper-shaped and is fitted with a sliding door 5 connected by a link 15 to an arm 16 which is loose on a shaft 17. This shaft 17 is rocked as desired by auxiliary apparatus. A clutch 30 on an arm 34 fixed to a rocking shaft 33 is adapted to lock the arm 16 to the shaft 17. The shaft 33, Fig. 2, is jointed at 35 to a vertical rod 36 in such a way that, when the latter is raised or lowered, it rocks the shaft 33, and thus engages or disengages the clutch 30 and arm 16. When the clutch is in the engaged position, the subsequent rocking of the shaft 17 by the auxiliary apparatus opens or closes the door 5. The rod 36 is connected by a spring connection 39 to a parallel rod 37 which terminates in a handle 40. An enlargement 41 of this handle carries a key which engages with a slot in a plate 403 so that, when raised, the handle 40 can be retained by giving it a turn to cause disengagement of the key and slot. The spring connection 39 allows the raising of the handle when the clutch is not in a position to engage immediately with the arm 16.

Abstract: 7250. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. April 6. Thioureas; dyes, artificial.-New compounds, which are probably asymmetric thioureas, are produced by boiling 2 : 5 : 7-amidonaphthol sulphonic acid with an aromatic mustard oil, such as phenyl-, o- and p-tolyl-, and xylyl-mustard oils.
