Title: Process for Producing Coloured Woollen Effects in Unions.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
IPC: D06P3/82
Filed: 1909-08-16
Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 18,828. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Aug. 16. Multi-colour dyeing.-Unions having multicoloured effects are produced by dyeing, in a bath containing direct dye-stuffs, unions which besides undyed wool and cotton contain dyed wool previously treated with a tanning-substance and a metallic salt, according to the process described in Specification 19,668/00. If necessary, dye-stuffs which only dye wool may be added to the bath. Dyeing of the unions is effected in a bath containing Glauber's salt or common salt, but better effects are obtained by the addition of a metallic salt, particularly zinc sulphate.. In an example, the fabric has a weft of cotton yarn, and a warp composed partly of undyed wool and partly of wool dyed with one of the following dye-stuffs:-milling yellow 0, milling scarlet 4RO, fast acid violet A2R, fast acid blue R conc., patent blue A, alizarine direct green G, dianil brown MH, dyeing being effected in a bath containing tannin, formic acid, and Glauber's salt, and the dye fixed by tin salt. The fabric is dyed in a bath containing Glauber's salt and zinc sulphate, a buff colour being obtained by using a bath containing dianil fast brown B, oxydianil yellow 0, dianil black ES, orange 2, and acid alizarine grey G, light blue by dianil blue H6G, patent blue A, and acid violet 5BF; fawn-colour by dianil fast brown B, dianil orange G, dianil black ES, orange 2, and acid alizarine grey G; russian green by dianil green BBN, dianil yellow 2R, and dianil black ES; dark blue by dianil blue H2G, dianil black ES, dianil black CR, and amino black 3B; red by dianil red 4B, and dianil bordeaux B; black by patent dianil black EF conc., and amino black 3B.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of Ammonium Nitrate from Ammonium Bicarbonate or the Components thereof and Sodium Nitrate.
Inventor: FREETH FRANCIS ARTHUR
IPC: C01C1/18
Filed: 1910-07-09
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 16,455. Freeth, F. A., and Cocksedge, H. E. July 9. Ammonium nitrate; sodium bicarbonate.- Pure ammonium nitrate is obtained by double decomposition between sodium nitrate and ammonium bicarbonate, or its components, by arranging that at the end of the reaction a solution is obtained, which, after separation of the precipitated sodium bicarbonate, is saturated with ammonium nitrate and bicarbonate, and sodium bicarbonate, from which solution the ammonium nitrate is separated by cooling after the bicarbonates have been destroyed. The removal of the bicarbonates may be effected by heating the liquor, and they may be neutralized with nitric acid or by other means. The precipitated ammonium nitrate is washed, and the mother liquor may be re-used in the process, after reheating, by the addition of quantities' of ammonium bicarbonate and sodium nitrate equivalent to the ammonium nitrate removed in the process. If the cooling be carried to only such an extent as to separate a' quantity of ammonium nitrate not greater than is equivalent to that quantity of sodium nitrate which will dissolve in the. mother' liquor after re-heating, then the presence of undissolved sodium nitrate in the reaction solution is avoided. An artificial mother liquor may be prepared fulfilling these conditions. According to the Provisional Specification, the greater part of the ammonium nitrate can be separated from the mother liquor by concentrating until the liquor is saturated with it from 50 to 60‹ C., separating the'sodium nitrate precipitated at this temperature, and adding such quantities of water as will prevent the separation of sodium nitrate during the subsequent cooling for the separation of ammonium nitrate.

Abstract: 27,914. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Harlow, F. Nov. 30. Systems for operating controller and clutch from one point; controllers, actuating- mechanism for. - In hauling, hoisting, and other systems where two or more motors A are employed, each motor has a controller which can be operated by itself ; or the controllers C may be coupled and operated together. The motors may be employed to move a pair of guns or turrets together. The coupling of the controllers is effected by the depression of a shaft E, which carries a toothed wheel and engages wheels on the controller shafts. The shaft E is provided with a hand - wheel G to operate the controllers, and it also carries a contact F, which completes the circuit of an electro - magnetic clutch D to connect the gears driven by the motors. Interlocking switches are employed to prevent the clutch from being put in operation if the motors are on different gears. These switches consist of contacts O, which are moved into engagement with springs P when the gear-control levers L are operated, and the clutch circuit can only be completed when the switches on the two motors occupy similar positions. If hydraulic motors are used, the shafts of the controllers C are screwthreaded and used for shifting slide valves for controlling the motors. An hydraulic clutch may be used, and the switches O, P are then replaced by valves.

Abstract: 1762. Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co., James, F., and Coombes, H. Jan. 24. Hoods.-The peak stick and forward hoopsticks of a hood are connected together and to the front hoop-stick of the rear series by a system of links and levers so as to enable the whole of the front extension to be simultaneously collapsed, without lifting any substantial weight, by raising and pushing back the peak stick. Further, by constructing the lower ends of the rear hoop-stick to overhang its pivot as at c<1> or g, the usual stretcher bars for the rear portion of the hood may be dispensed with and the whole hood may be collapsed in one operation. Fig. 2 shows one form. The front and rear hoop-sticks A, C are connected by stretcher bars a, b and a radius rod c pivoted to the bar b and stick C. The peak stick B is connected to the stock A by a pair of links c, f and to the bar b by a link d. When the hood is fully extended the bars a, b are in alinement and the peak stick B is horizontal with the link e alongside it. A link, not shown, pivoted to the link f and adapted to engage a stud on the peak stick locks the members in extended position. In another form a further hoop-stick extends rearwardly from the lower end of the hoop-stick A and the arrangement of links is modified so as to effect its collapse against the hoop-stick A when the peakstick is manipulated. Fig. 8 shows a cabriolet in which, when the hood is extended, the peak stick B and cant-rail M are horizontal and alined and the cant-rail is supported by a front folding door pillar (not shown) and rear pillar F. The peak stick B is connected to the cantrail M by links m, k, the latter being extended to the pillar F, which is hinged to the hoopstick G. A pair of links n, n<1> are pivoted together and to the cant-rail and to an arm f<1> rigid with the pillar F. The link k lies alongside the cant-rail when the hood is extended.
