Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Colouring Matters of the Anthracene Series and of Intermediate Products relating thereto.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1900-05-16
Granted: 1901-05-11
Abstract: 9081. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. May 16. Dyes, artificial.-Relates to the production of blue and bluish to green dyes for unmordanted or chromium-mordanted wool from the sulphomethyleneamidoanthraquinones which are obtained by heating 1 :5-diamidoanthraquinone, or other diamido- or monamido-anthraquinones, with formaldehyde and sulphurous acid at 50‹-60‹ C., and consists in first preparing halogen derivatives of these sulphomethyleneamidoanthraquinones which are themselves orange-red wool dyes, and then condensing these compounds with aromatic amines. The Provisional Specification refers also to the production of blue mordant dyes by heating the halogen derivatives with fuming sulphuric acid, or with a mixture of concentrated sulphuric acid and boracic acid. Examples are given in which (1) brominated derivatives are prepared by agitating a sulphomethyleneamidoanthraquinone paste with bromine and water at the ordinary temperature, and by boiling a dry sulphomethyleneamidoanthraquinone with an indifferent solvent, such as glacial acetic acid or carbon bisulphide, and bromine ; and (2) a chlorinated derivative is obtained by the use of potassium chlorate and hydrochloric acid at a temperature not exceeding 30‹-40‹ C. An example is also given in which a dye-stuff is produced by boiling one of the abovementioned brominated derivatives withp-toluidine, removing the excess of toluidine by means of alcohol, and finally sulphonating the condensation product by heating it with sulphuric acid, or weakly-fuming sulphuric acid, at about 50‹ C. for twelve hours. The soluble sulphonic acid thus produced is isolated by pouring the melt into water, filtering off the precipitate, and washing it with common salt solution until neutral.

The back part of the carriage is kept in contact with a bearing, but not guiding surface 8 by a plate 10. The member 42 carries a rack 13 by which the carriage is reciprocated from a worm 14 and shaft driven by bevel gearing from a shaft with fast and loose reversing-pulleys. The belt forks are connected to a rack 26 sliding in brackets 27, and gearing through an idle pinion 29 with a pinion 28 on a shaft 30 on the arm. The shaft 30 is connected by worm gearing 31 to a disc 33 with circumferentially-adjustable stops 35, in the path of which is a stop 36 fixed on the arm. During the movement of the carriage the pinion 28 travels freely over the rack, till one of the stops 35 engages the stop 36, arresting the rotation of the pinion and moving the rack to arrest or reverse the movement of the carriage. The same result may be effected at any portion of the stroke by the operator arresting the rotation of a hand-wheel 38 connected by bevel gearing to the shaft 30. A stationary rack 39 imparts movement to the tool box through a shaft 40 and clutch 41 in an ordinary manner. Work-tables (not shown) are vertically adjustable on plates secured to the front of the bed 1, and are maintained in vertical alignment by vertical gibs or guide-bars on the tables, which have tapered sides engaging corresponding grooves in the plates, the gibs being set up by set-screws on the tables. In a lighter class of machine, shown in Fig. 6, the front member of the carriage has a flat bearing- surface 52 and guiding-surfaces 55, 56, the strip 54 being set up by screws 68. The machine may be driven by a screw and nut or by rack gearing. Cork rollers 61 in oil boxes 60 lubricate the bearing-surfaces, surplus oil being transferred to an oil reservoir by an oil groove 62 at the front and by the channel in which the screw works.

Title: Linotype Machine.
Inventor: DODGE PHILIP TELL
Filed: 1902-09-17
Granted: 1902-11-20
Abstract: 20,301. Dodge, P. T. Feb. 11, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Linotype machines.-Relates to machines, such as the Mergenthaler linotype machine, described in Specification No. 14,582, A.D. 1890. The magazine K, from which the wedge spacers M fall vertically to the assembly point, is adjustably secured so that its vertical height above that point can be varied to suit the speed at which the operator is working the machine. For this purpose, the supporting- bracket of the magazine is fitted to a vertical groove in the machine frame, and is clamped by a screw L, Figs. 2 and 3. The spacers are lifted one by one over the retaining-lips at the front of the magazine by arms m, Fig. 4, carried by a rock-shaft N actuated by an arm O and vertical bar or reed P. The reed P is connected to the arm O by a clamping-screw Q, so that the point of connection may be varied according to the vertical adjustment of the magazine. The spacekey lever W is directly connected with a dog V, which supports the rear end of a yoke R in which is journalled the cam S. When the key is depressed, the dog Y moves beneath a cutaway portion of the yoke R, which then falls until the cam S rests on the continuously-revolving friction roller T. The cam turns with the roller, lifts the yoke R and reed P, and releases a spacer from the magazine. The matrix-delivery escapements may be actuated in a similar manner.
Patent GB-190226541-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Non-interfering Successive Repeaters for Fire Alarm Circuits.
Inventor: MILLS BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD
Filed: 1902-12-02
Granted: 1903-02-05
Abstract: 26,541. Mills, B. J. B., [Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph Co.]. Dec. 2. Order or alarm apparatus.-Relates to a system of fire-alarm circuits with devices by which interference in the transmission of signals from different street circuits is prevented. The arrangement is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 8. When one of the street circuits is broken by turning one of the discs 57, the armature 20 of the corresponding street magnet 19 is retracted by the spring 21. This movement permits the spring 50 to pull the lever 24 into contact with the terminal 30. The local circuit 58 containing the main operating-magnet 11 is thus closed. The magnet 11 releases a circuit-breaking cylinder, which makes a complete rotation and sends signals to the fire-engine houses. When the street circuit is again closed, the lever 24 breaks the local circuit and brings the circuitbreaking cylinder to its normal position. Each break in the street circuit will result in a repetition of these operations. The rotation of the circuitbreaking cylinder releases all the armatures 38 of the non-interference magnets 37, and all these armatures are retracted by the springs 39, except that corresponding to the street circuit in operation, the armature of which is locked by the upper end 27 of the lever 24. The circuit-breaker, at the same time, closes a gap 47 in the circuit 60, which completes the circuit of the non-interference magnet 37 when the lever 24 is next pulled against the stop 30. The armature 38 which was formerly held up mechanically is now held up electrically by the attraction of its magnet. In the case of the other interference magnets of circuits not in operation, a notch 49 in the armature falls over the end pin 27 and locks the armature lever 24, so that no current sent from a second street circuit can affect the magnet 11. Even if two signals are sent simultaneously from two street boxes, one of the circuits is blocked, owing to the fact that the discs 57 have different numbers of breaks. After the signal is completed, the armatures 38 are automatically restored to their attracted position, and the circuit is again broken at 47. In the event of a street circuit becoming disabled, the armature of its magnet 19 is restored and held by a hook in that position, so that it does not interfere in any way with the operation of the magnets of the other street circuits.

Abstract: 28,123. Deimling, M. Dec. 20. Window blinds. - Relates to window-shutters of the venetian blind form capable of conversion into ladders. The slats 11, Fig. 1, form the sides and the bands 12 the rungs of the ladder. Chains 1, 2, 3, 4 hang from the frame, and steel clips 5, Fig. 3, are connected to the back chains by their ends 8, while the notches 9 fit into links 10 on the front chains. The slats 11 lie between these clips, but, on removing the links, they can be drawn out to bang as a ladder. In the louvre shutters shown in Fig. 6, the links 5 are attached at one end to the adjusting sliding rails 26 but the action is in other ways, as before, except that the pairs of slats may be pivoted side by side instead of being over one another. In Fig. 8, the shutters are detachable by pins 30 hinged to the sliding rails 31 and fitting in sockets 29, and the pivots 32 of the slats fit into laterally-open bearings 33 which form flat springs. The rods 19, Fig. 11, are carried by spring clips on the bands 22, and are connected together by the bars 20 which form the rungs of the ladder. The attachment of these rods at their ends is as shown, and the ends are guided as usual in side rails 25.
