Title: New Carboxylated Derivatives of Amido or Hydroxy-tri-phenyl-methanes.
Inventor: VIDAL HENRI RAYMOND
Filed: 1897-03-02
Granted: 1898-01-22
Abstract: 5535. Vidal, H. R. March 2. Dyes, artificial.-Mono-, di-, and tri-carboxylated derivatives of phenolic or amido-, or phenolic and amido-triphenylmethanes, are produced by heating on an oil bath an o- or m-oxycarboxylic acid of benzol or naphthalene such as salicylic acid, or oxy-#-naphthoic acid, or an amidocarboxylic acid of the same series, with a suitable proportion of phenol, or without phenol, in presence of oxalic and sulphuric acids, or of chloride of zinc and formic acid. Oxy- or amido-cinnamic acids may also be used in the process. The product is cleared of excess of phenol by a current of steam, and purified by dissolving it in metabisulphite of soda solution and then precipitating it therefrom by an acid. The mono- and di-carboxylated products are bright yellow in the acid state, and bright scarlet as salts. The tricarboxylated products tend to a dark red.

Title: Improvements in Friction Clutch Mechanism.
Inventor: WHEELER SAMUEL HICKOX
Filed: 1897-05-03
Granted: 1898-03-19
Abstract: 11,005. Lake, H. H., [Wheeler, S. H.]. May 3. Clutches; countershafts.-The stud a<1>, fixed in the hanger A, carries a cone driving-pulley m<1> and a driven pulley h, provided with a friction ring h<3>, which run between ball bearings g' and n. The ball bearing n consists of an angle ring n' driven into the eye of the pulley, a ball race n<3>, a loose washer n<2>, and a thimble o, on the end of the stud, which is in contact with the washer. The lever e', mounted on a pin d, is coupled to a treadle ; it is formed with a segment e<2>, the face 2, 3 of which is inclined and is in contact with the thimble o, so that, when the lever is drawn down, the pulley m<1> is pressed against and drives the pulley h. At the same time, the brake b<2> is drawn out of contact with the pulley h by the action of a roller stud c<x> on the lever upon a lever c<1>, which is fixed upon the same pin b as the brake lever b<1>; the angle of the levers then prevents the spring b<4> from exerting any effect upon the lever e' and the treadle. By depressing the opposite end of the treadle to that used before the lever e<1> is pushed up, and by the engagement of the roller stud with the hook c<3> of the lever c<1>, the brake is set hard on. The stud a' is made hollow, to contain a supply of lubricant, which is distributed by a wick.

Granted: 1899-01-28
Abstract: 5115. Romanes, J. S., and Bell, A. March 2. Bending; forging.-Relates to a duplex machine for bending, shaping, and punching or drifting horse-shoes. The mechanism is worked by a reciprocating screw E, which may be replaced by a piston passing through both ends of its cylinder and worked by steam or by hydraulic pressure. The bars, one on each side of the machine, are introduced through openings R, and are bent between the mandrel G and the cam rollers I, P formed on spur-wheels H, rotated by a double rack F on the end of the screw E carrying the mandrel. Forked levers J, pivoted at J' to the rack and operated by fixed inclines on the frame, force the bent bars off the mandrel into shoots K, which carry them to boxes L, L<2>, Fig. 2. The blanks X thus fall between the plates 0, P, which, like the plate N carrying the punches or drifts T, are worked by slides actuated by the wedge M carried by the screw E. The blank is thus forced past the rod S to bend up the heels, and is afterwards punched. The machine is started by the lever D, and is automatically reversed by a projection travelling in a slot in the lever D<2>. The levers slide the shaft M S and put the bevel-wheels C<2>, C<3> into gear with the bevel-wheel C on the shaft actuating the nut B<2>.

Title: Improvement in Vaporizers for Oil Stoves and other purposes.
Inventor: MACK THOMAS ANDREW
Filed: 1899-04-14
Granted: 1899-05-20
Abstract: 7891. Mack, T. A. April 14. Oil stoves ; burners.-Relates to burners and vaporizers for oil stoves, which are also applicable . to such purposes as illumination. Figs. 1, 3, and 5 show the application of the invention to a stove. Vaporizing-tubes 4, 5 pass through a retort 3, which is secured to the frame of the stove. The tube 5 discharges vapour into the tube 6, where it mingles with air and passes into the hemispherical chamber 8 beneath the initial heating-burner. This burner is carried in a cylindrical frame. By means of the pins 10, the projection 11 on the frame, and the lugs 12, the parts are connected together. Each of the vaporizing-tubes 4 and 5 is provided with a needle-bar 14 controlled by a wheel 19 and having at the end a valve 15 adapted to close a discharge orifice 17 at the end of the tube. The needlebars 14 may have a spiral, triangular, &c. cutting- surface which contacts with the sides of the tubes and serves to remove the deposited carbon, while at the same time it allows the passage of the oil and vapour. The vaporizing-tubes are mounted in supports 27 loosely fitted into cut-away portions of the cylindrical wall of the retort, so as to allow for unequal contraction and expansion. Oil is preferably supplied to a reservoir 26 through the pipe 25. The tubes 4 and 5 are connected together within the retort. Oil is first admitted into the tube 4, and is heated by oil &c. which is burnt in a vessel in the lower part of the retort. When the apparatus has been started, vapour is admitted to the subsidiary burner, and a constant supply of vapour may then be obtained. When the valve in the tube 4 is opened, vapour passes through the pipe 28 to the burner of the stove. In a modification, three burners are shown, a generating-burner and two stove burners, the vaporizing-tubes of which are all connected together within the retort. The oil is supplied from a reservoir to a spherical chamber, whence it is led to the retort. A lighting-cup for initial heating is provided. This arrangement is stated to prevent the liability of back-lighting.

Each jaw is formed in two parts a, a<1>, one part a<1> being fixed to plates b which are pivoted to the other part a, to allow small relative vertical displacements. A stop-bar g passes through slots f in the jaws, and is connected by pivoted rods h to lugs i on the parts a<1>. The stop-bar is attached by ropes o to a pull-rope n, and by a shackle j to a second pull-rope k which is connected to the jaws by ropes l. Runners c, c<1> are provided, and there is a rudder e<1> operated from the steering - mechanism t, s, p. The dredge is hauled i n t o position by the pull-rope n, so that the jaws are held closed, and, when in position, the dredge is opened and operated from the pull-rope k. The pull-rope n may be attached directly to the stop-bar g, and additional plates may be riveted to the jaws.
