Title: Improvements in, and relating to, the Manufacture of Mordant Dyes.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1904-06-20
Granted: 1904-11-24
Abstract: 13,941. Lake, W. E., [Oehler, K.]. June 20. Dyes, artificial.-Mordant dyes for wool are produced by the interaction, preferably in weakly-acid solution, of m-oxydiphenylamine on the respective compounds obtained by diazotizing various amidonaphthol sulphonic acids. Tney are for use alone, in acid bath, or treated with chromium compounds so as to oxidize them. By this process, 2 : 5- amidonaphthol-7-sulphonic acid yields a colouring- matter which, in the acid bath, dyes wool reddishbrown and, after the chromium treatment, dark brown ; in the same manner, 2 : 8-amidonaphthol- 6-sulphonic acid gives orange and dark reddishbrown colours respectively ; 1 : 5-amidonaphthol- 6-sulphonic acid, yellowish-brown and yellowish dark brown ; 2: 8-amidonaphthol-3 : 6-disulphonic acid, reddish-brown and dark reddish-brown ; 1 : 8- amidonaphthol - 3 : 6 - disulphonic acid, reddish violet and brownish violet. In an example, 2 : 5-amido-7-sulphonic acid is diazotized. At 15‹ C., a solution of m-oxydiphenylamine in dilute caustic soda is added and some sodium acetate. Portions are tested for diazo compound, and, when no more is indicated, the mixture is neutralized with soda, heated to about 70‹ C., and the product salted out and dried. A brownish-black powder is obtained, dissolving in water to a yellowish-brown and in concentrated sulphuric acid to a violet colour.

Abstract: 2327. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Jan. 30. Nailing.-The nailing- machine described i n Specification No. 4471, A.D. 1903, is adapted for nails with conical heads by providing means to hold in position in the raceway the heads of one or more nails that are to be operated upon by the nail separator. A lever 1, pivoted to the swinging head of the machine, is pressed by the spring 3 into engagement with the endmost nail in the raceway J, holding it in position for the nail separator g<3x>. The other end of the lever 1 is engaged by a pin 4 on the lever g<3> which actuates the separator, to rock the lever and allow the nails to move along the raceway. The nail-seating device may take the form of a rising and falling block. In the Provisional Specification, improvements are described enabling the nails to be set closely and at the same time a substantial throat or jaws to be employed. The awl is considerably separated from the throat, and its stroke is greater than the spacing of the nails, only a portion of the stroke being used to feed the work. The proportions of the idle and work-feeding motion of the awl are preferably adjustable to enable the spacing of the nails to be varied.

Inventor: PARSEVAL AUGUST VON
Filed: 1906-05-22
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 11,963. Parseval, A. von. May 22. Aerial machines with aerostats.-The car of a motor-propelled balloon is suspended from the balloon by the usual parallel pairs of vertical cables 1, 2, and, in addition, by oblique cables 3, 4 from the ends of the balloon passing round guide rollers or pulleys 5, 6 on the sides of the car. The arrangement is such that, when the car swings, the circular arc in which the lower end of each of the vertical cables moves coincides with the elliptic arc in which the corner of the car moves when it rides along the oblique cable. The propeller is located between the car and the balloon. The inclination of the balloon may be controlled by shifting the car by winding one of the oblique cables on a roller 15 and fixing it in any desired position.

Abstract: 22,814. Volt - AmpÞre - Ges. Fleischmann &. Co., and Fleischmann, A. Oct. 20, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Speed indicators.-The electro-magnetic apparatus described in Specification No. 9352, A.D. 1906, is modified to enable an indication of the speed to be given electrically at a distance from the apparatus. As shown in sectional plan, the fixed permanent magnets b surround a revoluble soft-iron armature g with apertures h. Within this is a non-magnetic drum f, moving with the spindle l of the speedindicating hand and surrounding a stationary fourarmed soft-iron core k, upon which are four coils in series. As the armature g revolves, the varying magnetic field produces eddy currents in the drum h, the consequent displacement of which is a n.easure of the speed ; eddy currents are also set up in the coils upon the soft-iron core and will also serve to measure the speed, which can be ascertained from a volt-meter placed in circuit.

Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 10,915. Mather & Platt, Hopkinson' E., and Frith, J. May 10. Driving-arrangements.-The spindles are driven by the electric motor described in Specification No. 5899, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Dynamo-electric generators &c.], the usual wharves on the spindles being replaced by the rotors of the motor. The rings are made adjustable on the ring rail, and the rotors and spindles are made adjustable with regard to the stators. In order that, when the frame is stopped, the spindles and rollers may be retarded proportionately and arrested approximately at the same instant, a separate polyphase generator 10 may be used for driving each frame, and an automatic reversing - switch 11 controlled by a centrifugal governor 12 may be used as shown in Fig. 2 so that two phases of the travelling magnetic field will be reversed and produce a braking effect on the rotors. The solenoid 15 may be connected up in parallel with the resistance 21 so that during the retarding action a larger energizing current will pass through the field magnets 20 of the generator, increasing the reversing polyphase current and the retarding effect. A number of frames may be driven by motors which are supplied with polyphase currents from a common source, suitable hand or automaticallyoperated switches being provided for cutting off the current for driving the rollers and spindles respectively. The braking effect on the rotors may also be produced by the action of a fixed magnetic field in the stators 4 of the multiple induction motor. The rotors may also be stopped by mechanicallyoperated brakes 29, Fig. 6, provided with a handle 31. The front rollers may be driven through the usual gearing by a separate induction motor which is supplied with polyphase current from the source which supplies the stators 4 ; or the separate motor may drive a countershaft from which the rollers are driven by suitable gearing ; or the countershaft may be driven mechanically from the source of power which drives the polyphase generator for driving the spindles. A clutch or fast and loose pulleys may be provided in the gearing for driving the rollers, so that the latter may be placed in or out of gear as desired.
