Patent GB-190801822-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture and Production of Anthracene Derivatives
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: C07C205/47
Filed: 1908-01-27
Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 1822. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Jan. 27. Samples furnished under Section 2 of Patents &c. Act, 1907. Brom- and chloranthraquinones and their sulphonic acids. - Halogen substituted anthraquinones are produced by treating anthraquinone sulphonic acids with halogen or substances evolving halogen. If disulphonic acids are so treated, halogen anthraquinone monosulphonic acids initially result. By the above process are produced a- and #- chlor- and a-brom-anthraquinone ; 1: 5-dichlor- and 1 :5-dibrom-anthraquinone, 1 : 5-, 1 : 8-, and 2 : 7-chloranthraquinone moncsulplionic acids ; and 1 : 5-bromanthraquinone monosulphonic acid.
Patent GB-190807644-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Restricting the Maximum Current Passing in Electric Circuits.
Inventor: FENNELL WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-04-07
Granted: 1909-04-07
Abstract: 7644. Fennell, W., and Perry, W. P. April 7. Cut-outs; switches.-A maximum-current reatrictor consists of an electro -magnet provided with a pivoted armature and a spring or weight mounted above the pivot in such a way that the effective pull of the spring or weight is greatest towards the end of the movement and nothing at an intermediate point, while a one-way clutch is provided by means of which the current at which the switch may act may be increased but not diminished. The current to be restricted passes through a winding 11 placed upon a core 6. An armature 1 carrying a contact 2 is pivoted upon the centre core 5, while a spring 12 mounted above the pivot 8 engages at its lower end with a drum 14 adapted to be rotated in one direction only. Normally, the spring 12 opposes the action of the magnet 11 ; but after the line of pull passes the pivot 8, the spring 12 assists the magnet 11 to break the circuit at the mercury cup 3. When it is not desired completely to break the circuit, a second winding 15 possessing considerable self-induction is placed upon the core 7 and in series with a resistance 16, so that, when the current assumes its normal value, the circuit is again closed at the contacts 2, 3. The tension of the spring 12 is varied by means of a drum 14 provided with a one-way clutch by means of which its tension may be increased but not diminished.

Abstract: 9432. Hall, C. May 1. Bleaching; dyeing; washing.-A jigger for bleach, ing, dyeing, or scouring and otherwise treating spun or manufactured fibrous material comprises more particularly three compartments, of which each end one has a pair of ordinary batching-rollers, or one or more guide - rollers and an ordinary auxiliary batching - roller. The middle compartment b has guide-rollers e, f, and one or more squirt pipes g, while above each partition l and separating it from the end compartments is a pair of squeezing-rollers m, n. Pipes o with taps p provide communication between the middle compartment b and the end compartments. Two pieces of material may be treated simultaneously, Fig. 1, (full lines), one in each end compartment, by running it from the auxiliary batching-roller k through the liquor on to the top roller of the ordinary pair of batching-rollers, or vice versa ; or one or both of the end compartments may contain liquor, the material being run, Fig. 1, (dotted lines), from one top batching-roller to the other, thus treating it in one way or two simultaneously ; or again, the material may be subjected to three operations simultaneously, by using the three compartments with or without the use of guiderollers f.

Granted: 1909-05-17
Abstract: 10,692. Haden, W. N., and Haden, C. I., [trading as Haden & Sons, G. N.], and Rushworth, A. V. May 16. Switches. - A time switch for transmitting electrically to a central recording - appa - ratus two different signals separated by a predetermined interval of time is controlled by a dash-pot, thus dispensing with clockwork. The piston E works in a viscous fluid, t h e hollow rod F carrying a cross-head S working on a guide V, and having a contact '1' to co-operate with a nxed row of contacts at the top of the guide V as shown, the connexions being made as shown in Fig. 2. The piston is raise:1 by a forked key inserted through the slot e in the door of the casing, the up-stroke.being eased by the opening of a valve G, which is carried on a rod I fitted with a stop J and adjustable collar 0 for setting the controlling-spring N. Apertures H are provided in the piston and hollow rod. The cupped cover D takes any overflow, which returns through apertures R, and a by-pass k adjustable by means of a screw is fitted. Further adjustment of the valve G and of the speed of operation of the piston may be obtained by employing the stirrup 17, Fig. 10, attached to the piston-rod and carrying the adjustable stop 16, instead of the fixed stop J. To annul the effect of temperature on the apparatus, the cylinder and piston may be made of different materials having suitable coefficients of expansion, or the stirrup 17 if employed is made of a material having a higher expansibility than the valve-rod.

Title: Improvements in Carburetting Systems for use with Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: HALLAM GEORGE
Filed: 1908-06-03
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 12,047. Hallam, G. June 3. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. The throttle is placed near the fuel nozzle and the mixture outlet and fuel supply are controlled simultaneously. The throttle valve E has a triangular, opening G which co-operates with a triangular or other opening D' in the casing D. The nozzle A is close to the throttle opening and is controlled by the tapered rod 0 provided at its lower end with an enlarged portion R, the upper end being connected to a plate N mounted on an eccentric pin M. Fuel flows through holes S in the hollow head' R. The pin M is carried by the spindle L connected to the valve E by the setscrew T, Fig. 2, a loose ring U, and slot F<3>, so that the relative positions of the fuel control rod 0 and throttle E may be varied. The throttle is rotated by the adjustable rod J. The rod 0 may have flats or grooves formed on it, or as shown in Fig. 5, it may have an enlarged taper portion to seat on the nozzle at V. With this form, the fuel supply after reaching a maximum can be cut down and ultimately stopped, air only being admitted to the engine. The spindle L may be connected to the barrel through a graduated locking-device retained in engagement by a spring. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the air-inlet pipe may be branched, one portion leading from some heated part, such as the exhaust pipe, and the other supplying cold air. A two-way valve regulates the proportion of hot to cold air.
