Patent GB-189710790-A (GB)
Title: The Manufacture or Production of New Pharmaceutical Compounds.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1897-04-30
Granted: 1898-04-09
Abstract: 10,790. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. April 30. Medicinal preparations.-Compounds containing one molecule of hexamethylene-tetramine and three or six molecules, respectively, of tannin, are obtained by mixing concentrated solutions of the constituents in the proportions mentioned. The products are white amorphous precipitates, which are soluble in water or alcohol and have an astringent taste. If other proportions are used, the precipitate is a mixture of the foregoing compounds. These compounds are converted into light brown substances, which are tasteless and insoluble in water, alcohol, or ether, and are useful as internal astringents, by heating them alone at 95‹-100‹ C., or in solution in water or glycerine. An alternative method of preparing the new compounds consists in using a mixture of formic aldehyde and ammonia, instead of hexamethylene tetramine. Instead of tannin, extracts of materials containing tannic acids, such as ratanhia, catechu, oak-bark, quebracho, and the like, may be employed.

Patent GB-189813788-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Filling and Corking Bottles.
Inventor: SEWARD EDWARD CLARKSON
Filed: 1898-06-21
Granted: 1898-07-23
Abstract: 13,788. Seward, E. C. June 21. Bottling; corking; capsuling and sealing bottles.- Relates to machines for bottling and corking beer, wine, aerated liquids, &c. The bottles C are placed in rows in the box C', the number in each row corresponding to the number of filling-nozzles d, and are raised to the filling-nozzles by the hydraulically - operated plungers b. These plungers are mounted in the cylinder B containing a suitable liquid, and are actuated by the piston b<2> through the bell-crank lever b<3> from a hand-lever on the shaft b<5>. After a row of bottles has been filled and corked, the box C<3> is moved forward, to bring the next row of bottles into position for filling, by means of the endless chain c actuated by pawl and ratchet mechanism c' from the arm b<6> of the lever b<3>. After the bottles have been raised to the nozzles, a cork e<1>, Fig. 6, is dropped from each of the series of tubes E into the chamber d<5> in the sliding frame D', this chamber being vertically above the filling-nozzle d when the parts are in the position shown. The frame D<1> is then slid on the base-plate which carries the nozzles, by moving the lever H, so compressing the corks e' between the sides of the chambers d<5> and the fixed jaws e<2>, and at the same time bringing the filling- passages d<6> vertically over the apertures d<7> leading to the nozzles d. A cork fastener i, Fig. 15, of #-shape, is next fed by a revolving table under each of the corking-plungers g, and, by operating the crosshead G, which carries the plungers, by means of a treadle, the fasteners are picked up by the sleeves g<1> surrounding the plungers, after which the fasteners and corks are forced down by the sleeves and plungers into the corking-tubes. Next, the liquid reservoir F<1>, with the filling-tubes f, is lowered by the operation of a hand-lever, the tubes f passing downward through the passages d<6>, d<1> into the bottles until the spindles f<1> of the valves f strike the bottoms of the bottles and so open the valves. The same hand-lever also actuates a pump, which forces the liquid from a cask into the reservoir F', and so into the bottles. When the bottles are filled, the reservoir and filling-tubes are raised, so closing the valves f and the frame D<1> is then slid back until the corking-tubes come over the nozzles d, after which the treadle mechanism is again operated to force the corks into the bottles, and to expand the fasteners i outwards, as shown in Fig. 15, until their edges engage in the grooves p in the bottle necks. The lever on the shaft b<5> is then operated to lower the corked bottles, and to bring the next row of empties into position. A snift passage o, Fig. 6, is connected to the top of the cask from which the liquid is supplied. When the liquid is under pressure, the pump may be dispensed with, and the snift passage may then open to the atmosphere.

Granted: 1899-08-19
Abstract: 17,974. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Aktiengesellschaft]. Aug. 20. Cooling and ventilating.-Air is caused to pass in thin layers at high speed and with eddying motion in contact with the largest possible surface of the field magnets and armature. In the arrangement shown, the air is drawn through the machine by means of a fan S, contained in a casing formed by plates D<1> and D<2>, and takes three courses, (1) between the magnets, (2) around the armature, and (3) through the armature. The spaces between the magnets are nearly filled by prismatic bodies C, so as to form narrow channels in which are disposed corrugated metal sheets. In the longitudinal passages through the armature, helically-twisted metal strips T are inserted to give the air an eddying motion. A chamber may be formed at the end opposite to the fan, into which cool air may be conducted by means of pipes from the outside of the building or from an artificial cooler. In a similar manner, the air leaving the machine may be comducted to the outside of the building.

Abstract: 9736. Silverlock, W. B. May 9. Bronzing and the like.-A machine for applying bronze and other powders to printed surfaces of paper, card, fabric, and the like comprises a large cylinder r for carrying the sheets, a bronzing- roller y, rubbing and polishing rollers e', d, delivery rollers t, t<1>, v, and a cleaning-roller or brush u. The bronze &c. is supplied to the roller y, running at a very slow speed, by a roller z which receives the powder from a trough c fitted with removable or fixed partitions. The roller z runs at a very slow speed and is provided with fast and loose pulleys, or ratchet or other suitable mechanism enabling the roller to be stopped and started automatically ; superfluous powder &c. is removed by a scraper b<1>. The roller y is covered with a soft and yielding material. In place of the roller y, an endless band of soft plush mounted on two or more rollers may be employed. The rollers d, of which two pairs are shown, are moved longitudinally by means of a cam plate, one roller of a pair moving in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of the other roller. Blocks or pads, which may be square or hexagonal in cross-section, may be used instead of the rollers d. During the delivery of the sheets, the direction of rotation of the roller u is reversed as soon as a sheet is gripped between the rollers v, t<1>. The table x is rocked by means of an arm b<5> forming the tail end of a lever b<2> which is mounted upon a shaft c and is actuated by a cam a fixed to the cylinder r. The lever b<2> is provided with a projection b<3> which falls against an adjustable stop b after the cam a has passed.

Title: Improvements in Consecutive View Apparatus.
Inventor: KOOPMAN ELIAS BERNARD
Filed: 1899-10-31
Granted: 1899-12-23
Abstract: 21,754. Koopman, E. B. Oct. 31. Kinematographic apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for taking or projecting consecutive views. The film is drawn intermittently from the supply spool 5 over a guide-pulley 7, and down between the frames 8 and 9, by two feed-rollers 10 and 11. The roller 10 is segmental, and rotates on the axis 12 ; the roller 11 is mounted on the end of a lever 13, pivoted at 12. The roller 11 is reciprocated by a crank 18 acting through a link 19, a lever 15, and a link 14 connected to the end of the crank 13. The fulcrum of the lever 15 is on a slide 17, the position of which can be varied by a rack and pinion 22, 23. The result of this adjustment is to vary the throw communicated to the roller 11, and thereby to vary the feed of the film, which depends on the distance through which the segmental roller and the roller 11 move together. A link 20 is used to prevent longitudinal movement of the lever 15. The loose film behind the feedrollers is drawn over friction rods 30 on to the winding-up reel 6, which is driven by a belt 26 and friction clutch. The supply spool 5 may be driven from the reel 6 by an extra ribbon 31 wound between the layers of the sensitized film, or on a separate bobbin. The light in the projecting- apparatus may be admitted by a side opening 3, and reflected at right-angles by a mirror 4.
