Title: The Manufacture or Production of New Azo Coloring Matters and of New Intermediate Products for the Production of such Coloring Matters.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1899-06-26
Granted: 1900-04-21
Abstract: 13,213. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. June 26. Dyes, artificial.-New azo dye-stuffs are obtained by combining the diazo derivatives of picramic acid with the following derivatives of metadiamines of the benzene series, viz.-(1) amidophenylglycine or its homologues, (2) amidophenylglycine sulphonic acids or their homologues, (3) diglycine derivatives of the said metadiamines, or (4) alkylized-meta-diamidobenzene sulphonic acids or their homologues. The colouring-matters thus obtained dye unmordanted wool, in acid baths, from reddish-brown to brown shades, which by a subsequent treatment with chromium compounds, such as potassium bichromate, are changed into fast and deep brown shades. Examples are given in which diazotized picramic acid is combined (1) with amidophenylglycine, (2) with the sodium salt of amidophenylglycine sulphonic acid, (3) with the sodium salt of the diglycine of metaphenylenediamine, and (4) with monomethyl-metaphenylenediamine sulphonic acid. Amidophenylglycine sulphonic acids, and homologues thereof, are prepared by causing one molecule of monochloracetic acid to act upon one molecule of a metadiamidobenzene sulphonic acid, or homologues thereof, in the presence of sodium acetate or similar condensing-agents. Alkyl - m - diamidobenzene sulphonic acids are obtained by the action of alkylizing-agents, such as alkyl haloids or the salts of alkyl sulphuric acids, on the metadiamidosulphonic acids.

Title: Improvements in Sliding Sash Windows
Inventor: SEWELL JAMES
Filed: 1900-09-29
Granted: 1901-06-08
Abstract: 17,285. Sewell, J. Sept. 29. Windows; draught-excluders.-The lower halves G of the pulley stiles are hinged or connected to the frame to allow one or both sashes A, B to be turned inwards for cleaning &c., or to allow the lower sash B to turn inwards to a small extent for the purpose of ventilation. Guide-pulleys D<2> for the cords C, C<1> are drawn out of recesses in the pulley stiles when it is desired to turn the sashes down, and are pushed back clear of the sashes when the latter are arranged to slide in the frame. The sash cords C' of the lower sash are attached to pins Q, which project from the sash stiles and slide in vertical guide-grooves in the stiles G. The fixed part F of the pulley stile is rabbeted or cut away at V to receive the cord. In a modification, the cords C<1> are attached to hooks fixed to the upper ends of the lower sash stiles. A stop pin carried by the stile G engages with a groove R<1> in the stile of the upper sash A, and holds the latter in place when both sashes are turned down. The stiles G are supported in a horizontal position by hinged stays P, and are secured in a vertical or slightly-open position within the frame by bolts or other fastenings. An ordinary window fastening may be used for securing the sashes together when closed, or when they are required to turn inwards. A hinged flap O can be turned up to fit under the bottom rail of the lower sash, when the latter is raised slightly for the purpose of ventilation, and thus prevent any draught under the sash.

Granted: 1901-11-16
Abstract: 1787. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Jan. 25. Dyeing.-Relates to the production of reddishyellow to orange colouring-matters on the fibre by means of certain pyrazolone carboxylic acid derivatives, and to the manufacture of certain new pyrazolone carboxylic acid derivatives for use therein.

Title: Improvements relating to Lubricating Devices.
Inventor: BORDES CHARLES LEON
Filed: 1901-04-20
Granted: 1902-04-10
Abstract: 8190. Bordes, C. L. April 20. Oil and grease cups for connecting - rods &c. are arranged so that the lubricant is supplied by the suction of the rotating part assisted, if necessary, by gravity. The lubricant chamber 1 is rounded at the bottom, and leads to a passage formed in a screwed portion for connection to the part to be lubricated. The cover or cap 3 has an orifice in which is located a valve 4 controlled by a spring 5. The spring is kept in place by a plug 6, screwed into the orifice. Perforations 8 and 9 in the cap and plug respectively serve to admit air to the chamber, the valve 4 controlling the air supply. A smaller form of the cup, suitable for a bicycle, is described in which the cap and body co-operate to form a spherical chamber. In a modification, the cup is made hollow, and the valve is enclosed in a box screwed into a plug taking into a wall of the cup. The perforations in the cup are made below a projecting ridge, so as to protect them against the entrance of dust &c.

Inventor: CHURCHWARD ALEXANDER
Filed: 1901-08-02
Granted: 1901-11-02
Abstract: 15,686. Churchward, A. Aug. 2. Brushes and b ru s h - holders.- The brush a, preferably of carbon, is mounted in a holder b so as to be capable of longitudinal movement therein, and is pressed against the commutator by a spring n surrounding its stem and capable of being adjusted by a yoke m having a tubular enlargement p, movable longitudinally upon a screwed rod q by means of a nut v.

The screw q has an unthreaded extension, which is secured by a screw n in a socket t formed on the brush-holder. By these means the brush can be readily removed from its holder without disturbing the adjustment of the spring. The main terminal wire is secured to the holder at i. To afford good connection between the terminal and the brush, an auxiliary conductor w is connected on the one hand with the brush stem and on the other with the screw q.

Patent GB-190314980-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electricity Meters.
Inventor: ARON HERMANN
Filed: 1903-07-06
Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 14,980. Aron, H. July 6. Energy meters.-A registering-meter is constructed so that a clock periodically winds a spring e, and causes this to return the movable part of an electrodynamometer to a zero position ; a registering-mechanism 3, Fig. 2, is geared to the spring-winding shaft h from the time when the spring begins to be wound, until the movable part of the dynamometer returns to zero. Before each winding, the spring is free to adjust itself to a position of no strain, temperature or other changes being thus compensated for. The clock is driven electrically, controlled by a pendulum or other escapement, and drives a shaft n, which carries an edge-cam u and a notched end cam s. As the shaft n turns, it is slid lengthwise in its bearings by a spring p holding a pin on it against a stationary cam q the notch in the cam s is thus engaged for a time with a pin l carried by a wheel k on the winding-shaft h, to which one end of the spring e is attached. The spring is thus wound to a definite extent, until the stationary cam q causes the notch to free the pin l; the spring e then unwinds, its energy being absorbed by the pin l pushing back the shaft n against the spring p. While the pin l is disengaged, an arm v of a shaft f is turned by the edge-cam u so that another arm x, Fig. 3, is held against a stop y. When the cam u releases the arm v, the shaft f is free to be turned by an arm g being engaged by the movable part of the electrodynamometer, until the arm x engages a stop y<1>. The arm x then moves one end of a shaft z, provided with two gear-wheels 1, 2, to connect the wheel k on the winding-shaft h to the registering-mechanism 3. Thereupon the pin l is engaged by the notched cam s. When the spring e is wound sufficiently it turns the shaft f back, the arm g returning the movable part of the dynamometer to zero, and the arm x disconnecting the registering-mechanism. The arm g is adjustable on the shaft f, which also carries an adjustable balance weight 5. The action may take place once or twice a minute. Quantity meters.-The electrodynamometer in the instrument described above may be replaced by a shunted main-current coil acted on by permanent magnets.
