Title: Improvements in Junction Boxes and similar Apparatus for the Connection of Electric Cables or the like.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
Filed: 1905-11-24
Granted: 1906-11-22
Abstract: 24,339. Dawson, A. T., and Pyne, A. P. Nov. 24. Junction and test boxes, particularly for use on ships, are constructed of rectangular form, the cover A<1>, Fig. 2, being secured by swivel bolts A<2>, the nuts of which are prevented from coming right off by collars a. The main leads B, C, Figs. 1 and 2, go through the box as shown, and are connected to the branch leads B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4> and C<1>, C<2>, C<3>, C', respectively, by coupling-fittings each made in one piece and consisting, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, of three bars b, b<1>, b<2> connected by a cross-bar b<x>. In consequence of this system of connexion, adjacent terminals are of opposite polarity, and the crossing of cables outside the box can be avoided. The ends of the cross-bars, such as b<x>, are bolted by insulated T-bolts to projections a<1> at the bottom of the box A, or they are clamped to insulated bars a<3>, as shown in Fig. 9. The cables are connected to the coupling-pieces by sweating a sleeve to the ends of the cables and holding them between jaws d in stirrup clamps D, Figs. 1 and 6, or in clamps such as are shown in Fig. 8, split-pins d<2> or other devices being arranged to prevent the bolts d<1> from being totally withdrawn and thus mislaid.

Title: Improved Means or Apparatus for Moistening and Conditioning Yarns or Threads of Fibrous Substances.
Inventor: TILLOTSON HENRY HARGREAVES
Filed: 1906-04-04
Granted: 1907-03-14
Abstract: 8105. Tillotson, H. H. April 4. Bleaching; dyeing.-In an apparatus for moistening or conditioning yarns or threads, the latter are carried on perforated trays in perforated cages over a tank or trough from which water or another liquid is vaporized by means of steampiping. The perforated trays b for the reception of the cops, bobbins, and hanks of yarn &c. for treatment, are carried upon supports a<3> in cages or receptacles a, of which the bases a<1> and also, if desired, the sides a' are perforated. The cages a are suspended from shafts c loosely mounted in bearings c<1> on annular pieces d fixed to a rotary shaft e. The cages a thus remain horizontal throughout their movement. The annuli d may be dispensed with and arms alone used. The shaft e is driven from a pulley through a shaft g and gearing g<1>, g<2>. A hand-lever m operates a belt-fork h mounted on a sliding bar h<1> through a hell-crank lever k. When the hand-lever m shifts the belt from the fast pulleyf on to the loose pulley f<1>, it tightens a strap n<1> on a brake disk n<2> mounted on the shaft e and so stops and holds the machine. Water or other liquid is placed in a tank or trough o beneath the cages a. In order to humidify the yarn, the liquid is vaporized by the heat from a pipe or system of piping o<1> mounted in the tank o, supplied with steam and preferably perforated. The apparatus may be enclosed in an appropriate casing.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Fabrics of a Ribbon-like Nature.
Inventor: ALZATI GAETANO
Filed: 1906-06-02
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 12,943. Alzati, G. June 3,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Smallware ; swivel looms ; picking-motions ; forming selvedges.-In ribbon looms, the weft t<1>, from a spool or bobbin located behind the lay, is drawn through the sheds in loops by its being engaged by the thread t of a small shuttle n, which is passed to and fro through the sheds once between successive beats-up of the lay. The tbread t forms the selvedge warp at one side of the fabric. The shuttle n is actuated by either a rack and pinion or a shuttle-driver motion, and, to cause its double motion for each beat-up, the tappet l, Fig. 5, which operates the treadles connected by belts c, c<1> to the rack or shuttle-driver bars, is shaped as shown. The shuttle n, Fig. 8, has its ends g, h turned up and down, so that it passes under and over the weft t<1> alternately. The warps are shed in any desired manner by healds p, p<1>, and a continuous weft t<1> may be supplied from each side of the fabric, two shuttles n being used. Several wefts of different colours may be inserted, the wefts which are not to be interwoven being raised by healds, so that they are not engaged by the thread t.

Title: Improvements in Methods of Purifying Metallic Compounds.
Filed: 1906-08-17
Granted: 1907-08-17
Abstract: 18,489. British Thomson-H o u ston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 17. Amines, salts of.-Relates to the purification of compounds of the acid-forming metals such as tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, vanadium, chromium, &c. for use in the production of incandescent lamp filaments. A solution of the metal is prepared, and is precipitated fractionally by an organic base, the precipitate being then heated to produce a pure oxide, which is then reduced to the metallic state by means of hydrogen or by other methods. The invention is particularly described with reference to tungsten. An alkali tungstate is prepared and dissolved, and hydrochloric acid is added to neu tnlize the alkali and give a molecular ratio of about 1 to 5 to the tungsten trioxide present. Benzidine-hydrochloride solution is then added to precipitate about one-tenth of the tungsten as the first fraction, which will contain the bulk of the impurities. The second fraction contains the bulk of the tungsten free from impurities. A small quantity of tungsten should remain in the solution. The precipitate of pure benzidine tungstate is washed with water and calcined at a low temperature in an unglazed porcelain crucible, leaving pure tungsten trioxide, from which the metal may be obtained by reduction with hydrogen or otherwise.

Title: Manufacture of Arylated Derivatives of 2-amino-5-naphthol-7-sulphonic Acid and Arylated Derivatives produced thereby.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1906-09-07
Granted: 1907-09-07
Abstract: 19,962. Bloxam, A. G., [Akt.-Ges. f³r Anilin-Fabrikation]. Sept. 7. Arylaminoaphthol sulphonic acids are prepared by heating 2-amino-5-naphthol-7-sulphonic acid with a halogen salt of a primary aromatic base in the presence of the free base. The reaction is generally effected between 100 and 200‹ C., a closed vessel therefore being necessary in some cases. In one example, a mixture of aniline, the 2:5 :7-acid, concentrated hydrochloric acid, and water is heated. to 150-160‹ C. On cooling, the mixture is made alkaline with sodium carbonate, the excess of aniline is expelled by a current of steam, and the sodium salt of 2-phenylamino-5- naphthol-7-sulphonic acid is precipitated by the addition of common salt. The following products of analogous operations are mentioned, viz. : 2-otolylamino-, 2-p-anisylamino-, 2-p-chloro-phenylamino-, and 2-o-xylylamino-5-napbthol-7-sulphonic acids.
