Title: Improvements in and connected with Apparatus for Dyeing and Otherwise Treating Fibrous Material, Skins or Feathers in a Raw, Partly, or Wholly Manufactured State, Garment or Other Made Up Form.
Inventor: HAMER JOHN CHARLES
Filed: 1901-04-20
Granted: 1902-05-20
Abstract: 8156. Hamer, J. C. April 20. Cleaning fabrics, clothes, fibres, and the like.- Centrifugal apparatus of the type described in Specification No. 8440, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Bleaching &c.], for dyeing and otherwise treating yarn in cop form, is employed also for scouring, washing, and degreasing cotton, wool, silk, or other fibrous material of vegetable, animal, or mineral origin, in a raw, partly or wholly manufactured state, garment, or other made-up form. The apparatus consists of a casing a. containing a revolving perforated cage b, and provided with inlet and outlet liquor pipes d, e. The material or articles to be treated may be packed in a number of perforated receptacles, as described in the prior Specification, or the cage may be provided with a perforated or slotted inner wall f, forming an annular space g, within which the materials or articles are packed. The wall f may have an inwardly-projecting flange h, Fig. 1, and be secured to the bottom of the cage, or an outwardly - projecting flange i, Fig. 3, and be rendered removable. An extra supply pipe or circulating pump may be employed where necessary.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Internal Combustion Engines
Inventor: HASELWANDER FRIEDRICH AUGUST
Filed: 1901-05-15
Granted: 1901-06-22
Abstract: 10,110. Haselwander, F. A. May 15. Gas, explosive - vapour, and solid-explosive engines. -The charge is in three parts, (1) a charge of air in the cylinder z, (2) a charge of combustible in the small chamber r, and (3) an auxiliary explosive charge beyond the combustible charge, on igniting which the combustible is forced into the air, mixed with it, and ignited. This method of working is applicable to engines working on any cycle and using any kind of fuel. Many ways of charging the cylinders are described, of which the following are typical examples :-In the fourstroke cycle engine shown in Fig. 1, air is drawn into the cylinder z through the valve l, and gas into the chamber r throngh the valve g ; towards the end of the suction stroke the air to form the auxiliary charge enters through n. The charges are compressed on the in stroke, and on the next out stroke the combustible is forced directly or through a screen p<2> on the piston into the air. The burnt gases escape through the valve a. In Fig. 2, the air for the auxiliary charge may be forced from the cylinder z by a projection v on the piston working in the chamber b, or through a valve n. This arrangement is designed to prevent premature ignition. The invention may be applied to engines with cylinders arranged as described in Specifications Nos. 10,001 and 10,002, A.D. 1901. Fig. 8 shows a two-stroke cycle engine with the valves lettered as in Fig. 1. The air and gas are compressed in the chambers l<1> and g<1> respectively. Where oils are sprayed into the combustion chamber, the form shown in Fig. 9 may be employed. The main oil charge admitted to the chamber r through the valve g is forced through a sprayer d by the exploded gases from the chamber r<1>, some of which pass through a pipe s. Means are described for supplying both chambers r, r<1> from the same oil valve. Air may be supplied to the chamber r' through a pipe from the cylinder z. The arrangement shown in Fig. 9 may be employed for powdered fuel, the auxiliary charge being composed of gas or vapour.

Title: Stop Motion for Knitting Machines.
Inventor: FELL JOHN CORRY
Filed: 1902-01-07
Granted: 1902-03-27
Abstract: 462. Fell, J. C., [Coleman, H. C.]. Jan. 7. Circular knitting-machines.-Relates to stop-motions which operate when a thread breaks or the yarn becomes entangled or knotted. The device is arranged so as to make the machine less top-heavy than usual. The yarn from each bobbin passes upwards through a knot-detecting device, consisting of a pair of plates d having notches 36, 37, Fig. 2, between the severing spring-actuated shear blades e, through eyes in a detector finger f, up over pivoted sweeps g, g<1>, and down to the work. All these parts are carried on radial arms c. When any thread breaks, its finger f falls, and when a knot occurs, the tension of the thread pulls down the sweep g ; the effect of either of these motions is to cause a rock-shaft u to rotate, and so to operate the belt-shifter, and also to cause the thread-severing shears to operate and cut the thread, leaving a length of thread sufficient to supply the machine till it stops, thus preventing the work from being cast off. The shears and feeler fingers are automatically returned to their normal positions. The sweeps g, g<1> are pressed upwards by springs h<x> acting on levers h<2>, which press on flanged sleeves h<1> connected to the sweeps by rods i<1>. The tension of the springs h<x> may be adjusted by screws h<7> in arms on discs h<3>, h<4>. In a modification, shown in Fig. 7, the bobbins are carried on a ring 38 rotated independently of the knitting-head by a fork 43 and pin 45. When a thread breaks or a knot occurs, a catch 52 is released and the sleeve 51 drops, and pins 49 come in the range of the projection 48 and cause a shaft 46 to be rocked and the beltshifter to be operated ; at the same time, a brakeshoe is caused to press on a wheel, thus stopping the machine quickly.

In the apparatus shown in sectional plan in Fig. 1, the projectile a is carried in the cap b pressed forward by the hydraulic cylinder c into the disc rolls d which are pressed together by the hydraulic cylinders e. In modifications, (1) the axes of the rolls d converge, (2) the cylinder c is replaced by a screw, (3), Fig. 5, the rolls d are askew and roll the body as well as the point of the projectile a, (4) the body of the projectile passes between skew rolls while the point enters a fixed or revolving die, (5) the rolls d, Fig. 1, may travel round the point of the projectile which is fixed, and (6), Fig. 17, the projectile a is rotated between point-forming rollers d, which are fed along guides j by worms k.

Granted: 1903-01-15
Abstract: 4653. Ransford, R. B., [Cassella & Co., L.]. Feb. 24. Dyes, artificial; p-oxyphenyl-p-oxyxylylamine and its derivatives.-Violet dyes containing sulphur and possessed of excellent affinity and very great intensity are produced from p-oxyphenyl-p-oxyxylylamine or the indophenol from which it is obtained by reduction, or derivatives of these compounds, by heating them with alkaline polysulphides. An example is given in which a mixture of the indophenol corresponding to p-oxyphenyl-p-oxyxylylamine with a solution of sodium sulphide and sulphur is concentrated until it boils at about 120‹ C., and then heated for 12-16 hours at the reflux condenser. The melt is diluted with water and the dye-stuff is filtered off and dried. The process may also be carried out in other ways, e.g., an alcoholic solution of the materials may be heated in a closed vessel. The indophenols employed are produced by oxidizing at 0‹ C. a mixture of a solution of p-xylenol (CH3:CH3:OH # 1:4:5), or other xylenol, in caustic soda lye and p-amidophenol hydrochlorate, or p-amidophenol sulphonic acid, by means of sodium hypochlorite solution.

Abstract: 13,172. Lake, H. H., [Aeolian Co.]. June 10. Automatic instruments.-Relates to apparatus for playing on keyboard instruments. D is a vacuum-chest containing primary pneumatics F, which are controlled by a tunesheet and tracker board H in the ordinary way. The pneumatics F are in a vertical plane, and actuate horizontal spindles E carrying valves E<1>, E<2>, the latter of which governs an opening feeding to the atmosphere. The spindle is suspended by guides K', K<2>, one or both of which are resilient and tend to close the valve E<1> and open E<2>. The primary pneumatics thus control the connection between the chest D and passages e which lead to secondary pneumatics C', C<1>, arranged in staggered rows.

Abstract: 14,086. Chavasse, J. J., and Kerr, J. W. June 21. Corks, retaining.-Relates to means for securing cork stoppers in bottles containing mineral waters &c. Preferably, a short cork is employed to close the bottle, and the mouth of the bottle is made flaring, so that the cork is blown out when the fastening is released. The fastening consists of a bail D pivoted on a band or wire C, which is secured on the bottle neck under the shoulder b<2>. The bail has a flat upper part d<5> to engage with the top of the cork, side-plates d<1>, d<2> by which it is pivoted on the band C, and a bowed lower part d<6>, which by engaging the bottle neck limits the securing and releasing movements of the bail.
