Granted: 1904-05-19
Abstract: 15,595. Carolan, E. A., [General Electric Co.]. July 14. Supporting lamps. -Relates to an arclamp hanger and switch. A bellshaped enclosing- shell, open below, contains an electric switch connected by a lost-motion arrangement to the gear 32, by which it is moved from outside, and which is fitted to a bottom plate carrying the hook for the lamp ; in the top of the shell is screwed a large-headed bolt 6 surrounded by an insulating-block, round which is a supporting-hoop 17 narrower than the bolt-head ; an insulating-cap 11 screws on to a projection above the head of the bolt. The shell 1, Fig 1, has two arms 2, 2<1> carrying line insulators 4, 4<1>. The insulating-base 19 is screwed to the shell, Fig. 2, and formed with two lugs 19, in which a switch shaft is pivoted, which closes the circuits between two pairs of spring contacts by elliptical metallic pieces. A friction roller and snap spring give the switch a snap action, and it is connected by a lost-motion lug to the sector 32 gearing with the sector 42 moved by the arm 41. The cover-plate is screwed to a ledge 34, and has four bushed apertures, through which pass the wires from the lamp and the mains, which are connected by binding-posts to the spring contacts. The shell has a projection 5, into which the bolt 6 is screwed ; the block 9 surrounding the bolt is provided with petticoats 13, and has a constricted part 16, round which passes the supporting-hoop 17. The cap 11 fits on a flange 15 on the block 9.

Title: Manufacture and Production of New Anthraquinone Derivatives.
Inventor: NEWTON HENRY EDWARD
Filed: 1903-08-13
Granted: 1904-06-02
Abstract: 17,565. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Aug. 13. alpha1, alpha3 and alpha1-alpha4 Nitroanthraquinone sulphonic acids are obtained by treating anthraquinone-amonosulphonic acid, described in Specification No. 13,808, A.D. 1903, with nitric acid or other nitrating-agent. The two acids are separated by the difference in solubility of the acids or their salts. They form intermediate products for the manufacture of other bodies of the anthraquinone series or of anthraquinone dyes. By reduction they form amido bodies. In an example, nitric acid is added to a mixture of sulphuric acid and the potassium salt of anthraquinone-a-monosulphonic acid, and the alpha1-alpha3 body separates on heating to 80‹-90‹ C. and stirring for 6 to 8 hours. The product is then cooled, and filtered on asbestos. The alpha1-alpha4 body is obtained from the filtrate by adding water. The alkaline salt of either body can be obtained by precipitating the aqueous solution by the addition of sodium or potassium chloride. The nitration may be performed with concentrated or with monohydrated nitric acid alone.

The furnace is shown as applied to a boiler 14. The coking-chamber 7 is supplied with fuel by apparatus described in Specification No. 3015A, A.D. 1905. The fuel, after becoming coked, is pushed by the stoker from the coking-chamber on to the grate 9, described in Specification No. 3015B, A.D 1905. Air for combustion enters damper-controlled inlets in the front wall of the furnace, and passes to spaces 15, 16, 17, Fig. 3, in the sidewalls, whence it passes into the ash-pit and into chambers 18, where it mixes with gases from the coking-chamber and primary combustion chamber. Air also passes from the spaces in the walls through passages 65 into the flame passage 13. The combustion chamber 12 is also surrounded by an air jacket having air inlets and outlets communicating with the combustion chamber. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the primary combustion chamber communicates with the secondary combustion chamber by passages 71 in the side-walls leading into side-passages, where the products of combustion mix with air supplied from passages in the side-walls before passing into the combustion chamber 12. In the modification, the gases from the coking-chamber discharge into the combustion chamber 8, and a transverse air passage 79 admits air through openings 80 to the ash-pit. A separate chamber 84 is also provided at the front of the ash-pit to receive clinkers from the grate.

Heating liquids. -Water or other liquid is heated for softening, sterilizing, or other purposes in a vessel A which is supplied from a cistern E and provided with baffle-plates to regulate circulation and promote settling of impurities. To ensure that only water that has reached a certain temperature shall leave the vessel A, arrangements are made that it shall overflow at a level higher than that which is maintained, e.g. by a ball cock, in the cistern E. The water may be heated by blowing in steam, by a steam coil, or by a gas or lamp flame. The top of the vessel A may be open or provided with a perforated expansion piece and may be surrounded by a gutter to which discharge pipes P, I<2> are connected. Or the top may be narrowed to a cone C as shown in Fig. 1. In a modification, the discharge pipe is connected directly to the top of the cone. A vent to the atmosphere is provided to allow of the escape of carbonic acid gas or other volatile impurities. The period of heating and the rate of flow are regulated by adjusting the heat supply ; this may be done automatically, when steam is the heating-medium, by a float in a storage tank for the treated liquid. The temperature attained may be regulated by adjusting the constant level in the cistern E, which may be provided with a safety overflow below the level of the overflow in the vessel A. A heat interchanger may be combined with the apparatus. Specifications No. 7138, A.D. 1890, and No. 17,372, A.D. 1894, are referred to.
