Title: An Improved Process for Evening the Faces of Stereotype and Electrotype Plates to Render them Capable of Producing Uniform Impressions
Filed: 1904-04-19
Granted: 1904-05-19
Abstract: 9013. Lake, H. H., [Cottrell & Sons Co., C. B.]. April 19. Planing; stamping.-Relates to a process of evening or levelling the faces of electrotype or stereotype plates. The plate 10 having a more or less uneven surface consisting of prominences such as 11 and depressions such as 12, Fig. 5, is placed face downwards on the bed 16 of a shaving-machine, with a paper &c. matrix or sheet 13 under it. The matrix 13 varies in thickness, the thickest parts 14 corresponding in position with the prominences 11 of the plate, and the thinnest parts 15 with the depressions 12. The back of the plate is then shaved one or more times by passing the cutter 17 over it, and this removes a greater thickness of metal from the parts of the plate supported by the thickened and prominent parts 14, 11, the other parts yielding or springing down under the cutter. The plate having been thus reduced to approximately equal thickness at all* parts, is pressed quite flat between heated plates 19, 20, Fig. 7, of a press, such plates having parallel plane pressuresurfaces.

Abstract: 18,189. Fliegel, J. Aug. 22. Milk strainers; milk testers.-In a milk strainer or filter which may also be used as a tester, a filtering-pad is pressed between two rigid perforated plates, so that as many small uniformly-acting filter sections or compartments are formed as there are perforations in the plates, the compartments being separated from one another by completelycovered filtering-material. The filter retains a small quantity of the casein of the milk, and this retains the first portion of the dirt and more casein, the filter gradually becoming impervious. The amount of dirt or the state of the casein is indicated by the time taken by the milk to pass through the filter, the proportion of fat being taken into consideration. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus adapted as a filter only. By means of levers e, the wadding b is pressed between the perforated bottom of the vessel a and a loose perforated plate c. The faces of the perforated plates are preferably ground smooth, and a straining-cloth is stretched over the vessel a. When the apparatus is used as a tester, the vessel a is made in the form of a graduated glass cylinder and the levers e are dispensed with. The appearance of the pad b after filtration shows whether the milk is sour or dirty.

Title: Manufacture and Production of New Anthracene Dyestuffs
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1905-05-01
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 9138. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. May 1. Dyes, artificial.-Dyes that dye chrome-mordanted wool bluish-violet, and alumina-mordanted wool reddish - violet shades are produced by sulphonating 1:4:8-trioxy-, and 1:2:5:8-tetraoxyanthraquinones by means of fuming sulphuric acid or other sulphonating-agent, and boric acid. The products are probably 7-, and 3-monosulphonic acid derivatives respectively. These dyes, when condensed with primary aromatic amines, such as p-toluidine, by methods such as those described in Specifications No. 23,927, A.D. 1894, No. 4961, A.D. 1895, and No. 7538, A.D. 1896, yield green dyes. In an example, the trioxyanthraquinone sulphonic acid described above is condensed with p-toluidine in the presence of boric acid and stannous chloride. Dyes, which are probably identical with these green dyes, are produced by sulphonating, in presence of boric acid, 1:4-diaryldiamino-8-oxyanthraquinones. The product when 1:4-di-p-tolyldiamido-8-oxyanthraquinone is used is probably the -7- sulphonic acid derivative. These green dyes when further sulphonated with fuming sulphuric acid yield yellowish-green dyes, which are probably sulphonated in the aryl groups. They appear to be disulphonic acid derivatives.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Die Stocks.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1905-05-26
Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 11,035. Boult, A. J., [Oster Manufacturing Co.]. May 26. Stocks and dies.-A die stock has means for cutting two sizes of thread and for adjustably opening the dies. A stock A carries a pair of bosses a<2>, forming a parallel recess which is occupied by the dies B, and each boss carries an arc-shaped flange a<3> between which a circular plate E rests. The plate C has a pair of eccentrically-placed slots c through which and the dies a pair of bolts D pass. These bolts extend through slots a<4>, and screw into nuts G which are slidable in grooves a<5> formed in blocks connected to the stock A. If the plate C be turned by a handle c<1> or otherwise the bolts D will be brought towards or away from each other and the dies will accordingly be caused to approach or recede. The dies are formed with cutting-teeth at each end as shown at b, b<1> so that by reversing them two sizes of thread may be cut. To allow this reversal, an enlargement c<2> is formed at the end of each slot c to allow the plate to be removed over washers E on the bolts D and an opening b<2> is formed in the die at least the size of these washers. The spaces between the bolts and the dies are taken up by bushes F. In use, when the plate has adjusted the dies, the bolts D are screwed into their nuts G and so clamp the plate and the dies in position. The washers E remain stationary on the plate while the bolts are turned and are prevented from sliding down by being forced as a snug fit over the bolts on to a reduced shank as shown in Fig. 5. A projecting screw H forms a stop for abutting against one of the flanges so that the plate may be readily brought into position with the washers aligning with the enlargements c<2>. A set-screw J screwing through one of the bosses against one of the bevelled ends b<3> of one of the dies limits their inward movement and allows them to be at once reset to size after being forced apart. The stock has screw-threaded recesses a for handles and has a tubular extension a<1> to act as a guide the bore of which may be reduced by inserting bushes held by a set-screw I.

The seals are contained in a hollow cylinder 4, and are adapted to be melted or softened on a die k adapted to be brought under the bottle at the termination of the cork-cutting operation. The knife p and the die k are carried by a slide e adapted to be moved to and fro through a bar f by an operating-handle on the shaft c. In the position shown in Fig. 5, the seal on the die is being melted by a gas jet 10 ; the gas - cock is connected to the operating - handle so that the flame is automatically turned high or low as required. In operation, on a forward movement of the operating-handle, the cork is severed, and the die with the heated seal brought below the bottle mouth. The bottle, which was originally supported by the front edge of the slide e, is then free to descend on to the heated seal, which adheres to the top of the cork and bottle neck. For feeding the seals, during the forward movement, the lowermost seal is carried forward by a slide x, and deposited in an opening v of the cover plate r, and the gas is turned low. On the rearward movement of the operating-handle, which returns the parts to the position shown in Fig. 5, the seal falls from the opening v on to the die k, and the gas is turned full on. The ends of the knife p, Fig. 9, are dropped into shallow depressions q in the slide e, so that it can be readily removed for sharpening purposes. The movement of the die k is controlled by a spring l and limited by a setscrew m. The cylinder 4 and the die k may be replaced by others, and the opening o in the plate e through which the corks must pass, can be adjusted by a screw 23, Fig. 9, to suit bottles of different sizes. The apparatus may be operated by power, and the machine maybe combined with any well-known type of revolving-table bottling and corking machines.
