Granted: 1899-10-28
Abstract: 8503. Lake, H. H., [Chemical Works, formerly Sandoz]. April 22. Dyes, artificial.-New blue, green, and black trisazo dyes for unmordanted cotton are produced by the following processes from the monoazo dyes which result from the combination of alpha1-amidoalpha4-naphthol-#2#3-disulphonic acid-H with the diazo compound of an aromatic amine, such as 1 : 2 : 4-, 1 : 2 : 5-, or 1 : 3 : 4- amidodiclilorbenzene, or amidotrichlorbenzene, or homologues of these compounds. (1) A tetrazotized p-diamine, such as benzidine, tolidine, dianisidine, ethoxybenzidine, or the like, is combined with a molecular proportion of one of the monoazo dyes defined above, and then with a dye-stuff component of the benzene or naphthalene series, such as phenol, o- or m-cresol, resorcinol, m-phenylenediamine, m-toluylenediamine, m-oxydiphenylamine, a naphthylamine or a sulphonic acid thereof, a naphthol or a sulphonic acid thereof, a dioxynaphthalene or a sulphonic acid thereof, an amidonaphthol or a sulphonic acid thereof, such as 1 : 8 : 4-, 1 : 8 : 5-, or 2 : 8 : 6-amidonaphtholmonosulphonic acid, or 1 : 8 : 2 : 4-, 1 : 8 : 3 : 5-, 1 : 8 : 3 : 6-, or 1 : 8 : 4 : 6-amidonaphtholdisulphonic acid. For example, the dye obtained when phenol is used, dyes cotton green shades, and that obtained when 1 : 8-amidonaphthol- 3 : 6-disulphonic acid is used, dyes cotton, wool, and silk blue shades. (2) A tetrazotized p-diamine is combined with a molecular portion of an o-oxycarboxylic acid, such as salicylic or o-cresotinic acid, and the intermediate product thus obtained is combined with one of the monoazo dyes defined above. These dyes yield green shades upon unmordanted cotton.

Title: Improvements in the Utilization of Liquefied Air or Gas for Cooling or Refrigerating Purposes.
Inventor: HARGRAVE EDWARD CARLTON
Filed: 1899-05-30
Granted: 1899-07-01
Abstract: 11,243. Hargrave, E. C. May 30. Refrigerating; cooling buildings &c.-Relates to the utilization of liquefied air or gas for cooling or refrigerating. The liquid is conveyed by pipes 5 surrounded by an insulating-casing 6 into which valves 8 allow gas and sufficient liquid to escape, so that the cooling effect will keep the gas in the liquid state in the inner tube. The liquefied gas may be supplied by a pump 3 from a container 1 or otherwise. In the second part of the invention, the liquefied gas is contained in a receptacle 10 surrounded by an insulating-casing closed by a lid 18 which permits gas to escape. The thermostat 16 controls a valve 15 to allow some of the liquid to escape, or the thermostat 24 opens or closes a door 22 by which the onter air is admitted and so accelerates or retards the gasification.

Electric furnaces. - A furnace applicable for making calcium carbide consists of a movable carriage h supporting a conducting-hearth e within a perforated metal casing i, placed below a verti. cally-movable electrode a, b, and near perforated walls k. through which a draught passes to a flue c and chimney. The air drawn in near the electrode a, b cools it, and the furnace gases are burnt, keeping the walls k hot. The electrode a, b consists of four rectangular blocks a of carbon of high conductivity, surrounded by a baked mixture of carbon and oil tar b, which renders the outside of the electrode less conductive, to keep it cool and prevent combustion in the air. The electrode a, b is supported by four copper plates p, which extend down between the upper ends of the blocks a, as shown in plan in Fig. 4, and are clamped against silvered copper plates q thereon by bolts u, wedges s, screws, and nuts t. The plates p are attached to a head l, Fig. 1, which is hung by a chain and pulleys on an overhead support, and is connected by flexible cables n with stationary conductors m. The bed of the furnace consists of carbons e, e', g, partly separated by concrete f, to keep the hearth hot near the outlet d. The bed rests on cable laid on a copper plate on the carriage h, which is insulated from its wheels, and has a projecting block x to enter between laminated brushes on stationary conductors m<1> when the carriage is moved into place.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Electric Accumulator Plates.
Inventor: STANECKI ZDZISLAW
Filed: 1900-01-13
Granted: 1900-04-07
Abstract: 813. Stanecki, Z. Jan. 13. Secondary batteries.-Relates to the manufacture of plates or electrodes, and consists in making them of lead oxide or a mixture of lead oxide and peroxide made into a paste with distilled water and formed into a plate by itself or spread on a grid. The plate is allowed to dry in the air, so that its outer surface, which is the first to become dry, ceases to shrink when it is dry, while the interior continues to shrink, so that cavities are formed in the interior and render the plate porous. If it is desired to render the plate very hard, this is effected by repeatedly sprinkling it with distilled water and drying it, but this may be more rapidly effected by immersing the plate in sulphuric acid.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Coking of Peat or the like and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: ZIEGLER MARTIN
Filed: 1900-08-23
Granted: 1901-06-29
Abstract: 15,092. Ziegler, M. Aug. 23. Drying peat &c.-A furnace for drying and carbonizing peat and the like consists of two parallel vertical retorts 1, 2, opening below into the coke receptacle 3. The two retorts are used alternately for drying and for carbonizing the peat. Each retort is provided with two outlets 4 for gases leading to a condenser 6. The gases produced may be burned in a furnace which supplies with heat the flues 7 surrounding the retort chambers. In the upper end of each retort is a valve arrangement for placing that part of the retort in communication with the flues when desired. In the form shown this consists of a fixed tube 8 closed below and having an opening leading to the flues 7, and other openings 10, 11 communicating with the retort. The latter are provided with hoods 13. Within the tube 8 is a rotatable tube 12, having openings which can be made to coincide with the openings in the tube 8. When peat is first charged into a retort, the tube 12 is so set that combustion gases can pass from the flues through the retort to dry the peat. When the peat is dry, the tube 12 is turned so that communication is shut off, and the peat is then carbonized by external heat. While this is taking place, the other retort has been charged and the peat therein dried. A damper 15 may be used to shut off or open communication between the flues and the chimney passage 14.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Barometers.
Inventor: DAVIS ARTHUR SLADEN
Filed: 1900-09-13
Granted: 1901-07-20
Abstract: 16,285. Davis, A. S. Sept. 13. Barometers.-A mercury cistern is made at the top of a capillary tube 1 leading to an air bulb, as shown. When not in use the instrument is placed in a horizontal position, as shown by Fig. 2, when the air bulb and tube 1 communicate freely with the outer atmosphere. To take a reading, the instrument is tilted into a vertical position, when the mercury enters the tube 1, and compresses the trapped air to an extent varying with the atmospheric pressure. By thus operating upon a constant volume of air, the effect of temperature is eliminated. The casing 7 may be filled with water to equalize the temperature throughout the tube 1. The air enters the apparatus over some drying-substance in a mercury trap 6.
