Granted: 1898-03-12
Abstract: 476. Oehlmann, E. H. C. Jan. 7. Lighting and extinguishing gas.-The gas supply to incandescent and other burners is controlled by valves actuated by fluid pressure. Gas passes by the pipe c, the bye-pass valve g<1>, and the tube i to the pilot jet, until the admission of air or liquid under pressure to the chamber b lifts the diaphragm e and the attached bye-pass and main valves g<1>, g. The main burner is then ignited from the pilot jet before the gas supply to the latter is cut off by the rising of the valve g<1>. Upon decreasing the pressure in the chamber b, the spring f lowers the valves, the pilot jet being relit from the main burner before the gas supply to the latter is entirely cut off. The valve g<1> may be dispensed with when a continuously - burning pilot jet is used. Modifications are described in which either air under pressure is supplied to incandescent burners by a conduit in connection with the tube d, or compressed air is entirely dispensed with. In the latter case, gas at a higher pressure is employed, means being provided for contracting the outlet of the pipe c, which is placed in communication with the chamber b.

Abstract: 9776. Imray, J., [Soc. L. Durand, Huguenin, & Co.]. May 28. Dyes, artificial. - (1) Leucogallocyanine sulphonic acids are produced by acting upon leucogallocyanines, prepared as described in Specification No. 21,415, A.D. 1898, with sulphonating- agents such as concentrated or fuming sulphuric acid, or preferably chlorosulphonic acid, at temperatures which are not allowed to exceed the ordinary temperature. The mixture, after standing several days, is poured into ice-water, and the sulphonic acid is thereby precipitated. Examples are given in which the leuco sulphonic acids of corÚine-2R, gallamine-blue, and prune are thus produced. (2) The foregoing leuco sulphonic acids are converted into the corresponding gallocyanine sulphonic acids by oxidation in alkaline solution by means of air or other oxidizing-agents, and the products are precipitated by neutralizing the excess of alkali and adding common salt. Both the leucogallocyanine sulphonic acids and the gallocyanine sulphonic acids obtained therefrom dye and print wool and chrome-mordanted cotton shades fast to soap.
