Title: Improvements in the Method of and Means for Preventing or Resisting the Local Production of Colour in the Printing of Textile Fabrics.
Filed: 1901-12-11
Granted: 1902-11-06
Abstract: 25,248. Knecht, E., and Spence & Sons, P. Dec. 11. Dyeing.-For the purpose of preventing or resisting the local production of colour in the printing of textile fabrics, and particularly colours formed on the fibre by oxidation, combination, or condensation, the fabric is printed with pastes or the like containing salts derived from titanium sesquioxide. An example is given of the production of a white resist under para-nitraniline red. Calico, prepared with #-naphthol, is printed with a paste containing titanium sesquichloride, sodium sulphocyanide, and British-gum thickening, and, after drying, is passed through a solution of diazotized para-nitraniline. If alpha-naphthylamine be used instead of para-nitraniline, a white resist under a claret ground results, while by using #-naphthylamine a white resist under a crimson ground is obtained. Paraffin wax, sulphocyanides, acetates, or formates may be added to the pastes.

Inventor: ROYLE JOHN JAMES
Filed: 1902-09-01
Granted: 1903-09-01
Abstract: 19,131. Royle, J. J. Sept. 1. Pressure gauges.-In place of a diaphragm in pressure - actuated apparatus an indiarubber tube is employed, bound round with wire, wire rings, cord, or the like to prevent it from increasing in diameter. The elongation and contraction due to variations in the pressure of the contained fluid may be used to operate pressuregauges. Figs. 4 and 5 show the apparatus as used to control the damper of a hot-water circulating-boiler. The flow and return pipes of the heating system are connected by pipes F with a vessel E, containing an inner copper vessel G. The vessel G communicates through a passage H with an elbow J, to which the actuating-tube L is attached. The tube is shown as bound with square wire N, but wire of other section, or rings, may be substituted. Or the tube may be braided with cord or wire, or otherwise prevented from varying in diameter. The piece M at the end of the tube has a number of holes for the connecting - pin to allow of adjustment.

Abstract: 17,696. Nolle, E. Aug. 15. Stapling.-Relates to the manufacture of boots and shoes and comprises mechanism for making wire staples, for clamping together the upper and welt or other parts to be connected, and for driving the staple into the work. Fig. 2 shows a front elevation and Fig. 9 a part vertical section. The driving-shaft operates the various parts by means of cams, and, as a rule, these parts are returned to their original position by springs. The wire 6, Fig. 2, is drawn off a reel 43 and passed through an orifice in a part 14, in which it is held by a pivoted spring arm and is gripped by a similar arm 18 pivoted in an orifice in a lever 12. This lever is intermittently moved by a projection on a cam 16 so as to cause the arm 18 to pull a portion of wire through the part 14, and is automatically returned to the position shown by a spring, the extent of its movement being adjustable so as to vary the length of the piece of wire pulled through. The wire is then passed through another orifice, and, on issuing tberefrom, enters a recess 47, Fig. 9, in a guide which is swung laterally to bring it into position for a reciprocating cutter 5 to cut off a length of wire. The wire cut off is then lifted by a hook 4 into a recess 9 in a slide 10. The hook in its upward passage pulls the wire into the shape of a staple, which is held in the recess 9 by the elasticity of its side members.

Title: Improvements in & connected with the Production of Glauber Salts, Ferrous-carbonate, Ferrous-hydrate & Ammonia from Nitre-cake.
Inventor: PARKER CHARLES LEONARD
Filed: 1903-11-12
Granted: 1904-01-28
Abstract: 24,639. Parker, C. L. Nov. 12. Alkaline sulphates; ammonia; iron carbonate and hydrate &c.-Consists in manufacturing Glauber's salt from nitre-cake or acid sodium sulphate produced in making nitric acid, and obtaining byeproducts such as ammonia, and ferrous carbonate or hydrate. The cake is dissolved in water, and scrap iron, or other metal such as zinc, added, whereby ferrous sulphate &c. is formed and normal sodium sulphate produced, while the hydrogen evolved reduces any ferric sulphate to the ferrous state and also converts the nitric acid and oxides of nitrogen present into ammonia, which combines with the free sulphuric acid in the nitre-cake solution. This action is accelerated by adding a little copper sulphate solution, or copper scrap when scrap iron is used, a copper iron galvanic couple being formed. A little acetic or other organic acid is added, and then a strong solution of sodium carbonate or hydrate, as long as any iron carbonate or hydrate is precipitated. The whole is heated to or near the boiling point, and a further quantity of sodium carbonate or hydrate added, decomposing the ammonium sulphate, and the ammonia is collected by a suitable hood over the vessel, for leading it to an absorption chamber. Un standing the liquid is drawn off and the sodium sulphate crystallized out, while the iron compounds are washed, filter-pressed, and .dried. The mother liquor from the sodium sulphate may be used for dissolvi g more nitre cake.
