Granted: 1901-11-09
Abstract: 913. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Jan. 14. Dyeing. - Consists in producing on the fibre shades fast against washing by treating with diazotized dichluro-aniline cotton previously dyed with substantive colouring-matters capable of being developed by diazotized bases, for example, the "Benzonitrol" or "Nitrazol" colours. For this purpose, either the ortho-para, the ortho-meta-, or the meta-paradichloro-aniline may be employed. By thus treating cotton yarn dyed with primuline yellow, a bright greenish-yellow shade is obtained ; while from Chicago-blue B., clear greenish-blue, and from benzonitrol-bordeaux, clear bluish-red, shades are obtained.

Title: Improved Construction of Coin Freed Mechanism for Gas and other Fluid Meters.
Inventor: BEALE BERTRAM ROBERT
Filed: 1901-04-29
Granted: 1901-12-14
Abstract: 8820. Beale, B. R., and Bagnall, A. E. April 29. Gas meters; liquid meters ; delivery mechanism. -Relates to coin-freed mechanism for gas and other fluid meters in which a number of predetermined coins can be inserted into the money shoot for automatic and consecutive action. The meter valve and index-operating spindle F communicates motion to the index mechanism, between plates X, W, through a worm g and gearing h. The index mechanism operates a removable change-wheel J, corresponding to the current price of gas &c., fixed to a spindle passing through a sleeve y adjustably secured in slots in the plates X and W by a slotted arm b and a screw c. Coin action ; coin tipping or discharging mechanism ; money shoots.-A crank-pin I, carried by the change-wheel spindle, is adapted to raise an arm H carried by an axle B sliding in a pivoted standard A. An arm G, having a lipped piece at its end, and an arm C are raised at the same time, the lipped end of the arm G coming into the path of tha extension D of the slotted arm of the spindle F and stopping it. A coin placed in the shoot N falls into a recess P in a disc Q on a spindle R operated by a handle e, so as to cause the coin to press the rod B out until the arm H falls below the pin I, the end L of another arm K at the same time entering the coin shoot to prevent another coin from passing to the disc Q. The coin falls from the disc into a till, but, if the handle e has not been sufficiently operated, the projection D will come in contact with the arm C and stop the meter mechanism until the handle is turned further. The axle R carries a ratchetwheel I operated by a claw S connected to a rod T attached to an arm U of one of the flag wires V of the meter mechanism, and the arm K is arranged so as to free a coin and allow it to be carried round by the disc Q just before the arm G reaches its upper position. As this arm is raised gradually, its action on the projection D is gradual, and causes the gas supply to waver before being cut-off. The number of coins in the shoot N can be seen through slots j.

Abstract: 2291. Taylor, A. M. Jan. 28. Indicators, station, stopping-place, and like, for use in railway carriages, street cars, or other public vehicles. The names of the stations or streets are marked on a web D, which is wound from the roller B on to the spring-actuated roller C, and passes round guide rollers E so as to expose the indications in succession through the aperture A<1>. The web is re-wound on the roller B by turning the knob B<2>. The operating-spring G is connected to the shaft F, which is geared to the roller C by a pawl and ratchet. The shaft F has a second pawl-and-ratchet connection with the wheel H, which is normally locked by a stop-pin J on the end of the spring-controlled lever K, to prevent movement of the indicator. The ratchets are arranged to permit the shaft F to be turned by a key in the direction for winding up the spring. To alter the indication, the button N', which actuates the lever K through the intermediate spring-controlled lever L, is pressed in and then released, the inward movement releasing the stoppin from the wheel H, and permitting the spring G to rotate the shaft F, the roller C, and the wheel H until the wheel has completed a revolution, and the next indication has been brought into view. The stop-pin then re-engages the wheel H.

Title: Improvements in Explosion-engines.
Inventor: HANSEN HANS PETER CARL
Filed: 1904-02-02
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 2561. Hansen, H. P. C. Feb. 2. Gas and explosive- vapour engines.- In a two - stroke- cycle engine, scavenging air is compressed by a a piston moving in a cylinder in l i n e with the main cylinder but of larger diameter. The upper side of the auxiliary piston pumps the fuel into the main cylinder. Ordinary valves may be used, or the distribution may be effected by ports and passages cut in the piston and cylinder, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The combustion cylinder a and the pump cylinder e are formed in one. As the piston ascends, air is drawn in through a port ÷, Fig. 4, in the cylinder a, a recess t, Figs. 2 and 4, in the piston, and a passage h. As the piston descends this air is compressed. The exhaust escapes through a port j and the scavenging charge passes into the cylinder through the passage hand recess t. The fuel is drawn into the annular space above the piston d through a passage k and recess x, and when the piston ascends is forced through a recess u into a chamber o. From this it escapes through a recess y and passage z into the main cylinder when the piston is again at its lowest position. In the case of an engine using liquid fuel, air compressed in the annular space is used to spray the fuel. This air may be stored in a reservoir, from which it may be returned to the annular space to act on the piston at starting or when the engine is heavily loaded in the manner shown in Fig. 6. A pipe 1 leads from the annular space to a valve-chest 2 in which a slide valve 3 reciprocates. The valve 3 can make connection between the pipe 1 and a pipe 5 or a pipe 6, both of which lead to a four-way cock 7. The diaphragm or valve 10 is adjusted by the governor so that the pipe 6 is connected to a pipe 9 communicating with the atmosphere and the pipe 5 with a pipe 8 leading to the reservoir, or the annular space is caused to act as a motor cylinder by connecting the pipe 6 to the pipe 8 and the pipe 5 to the pipe 9.
