Granted: 1897-05-01
Abstract: 6902. Young, McC., and Robinson, J. K. March 16 Stapling; staples, making. The machine is for boring brush stocks and fixing bristles therein by wire staples formed in the machine. Two stocks are operated on simultaneously, one stock being bored while the other is tufted. The stocks are placed in boxes 87, Fig. 16 (only one is shown), which have sockets beneath for fitting over pins 90 directly beneath the drill and tufting plunger. These sockets correspond in number and position to the tufts in the brush. The boxes 87 are preferably united so that they may be adjusted simultaneously. The wire for the staples is seized between the jaws 43, 44 of the gripper and held obliquely over an anvil while being cut by the cutter. The cutter is worked by a lever and cam. The gripper is then moved to hold the length of wire beneath the forked staple-former 34, the lege of which are grooved, as shown, to engage the legs of the staple. The jaw 44 is opened by the vertically-reciprocating rod 47 actuated by a lever and cam, and the gripper is reciprocated by the camactuated lever 46. The staple-former 34 strides the bristles, and the staple-driver 37 which slides within it drives the staple down over the bristles and into the stock, carrying the tuft of bristles with it through a hole in the slide 26. The staple-driver 37 is actuated by the link 48, lever 49, and connecting-rod 51. The driver is rigidly - connected to the slotted plate 53 above mentioned, and to the arm 58<a> supporting the pivot of the lever 57, one end of which works in the fixed slotted plate 59, while the other actuates the staple-former 34. The shaft 7 carries a driving-pulley and a sprocketwheel, connected by a chain to a second sprocket-wheel, upon the axle of which are treadles The operator can by this means prevent the shaft 7 from rotating, the driving-band, which may be slackened by a lever, meanwhile slipping over the pulley.

Abstract: 2326. Green, A. G., and LÚvy, R. Jan. 28. Dyes, artificial.-Relates to the manufacture of blue to bluish-green colouring-matters of the triphenylmethane series. In the nitro-leuco compounds obtained by condensing p-nitrobenzaldehyde o-sulphonic acid with secondary or tertiary amines or their sulphonic acids, the nitro group is according to the present invention replaced by the amido, hydroxy, alkyloxy, or chloro radicle. The amido-leuco compounds are obtained either by the reduction of the nitro-leuco compounds or by the condensation of p-amidobenzaldehyde-osulphonic acid with secondary or tertiary amines or their sulphonic acids. The hydroxy-leuco compounds are obtained by diazotizing the amidoleuco compounds and boiling with water, or by the condensation of p-hydrobenzaldehyde-o-sulphonic acid with secondary or tertiary amines or their sulphonic acids. The alkyloxy-leuco compounds are obtained by the alkylation of the corresponding hydroxy compounds. The chloro-leuco compounds may be obtained either by decomposing the diazochloride of the amido-leuco compounds with cuprous chloride or copper powder or by the condensation of p-chlorobenzaldehyde o-sulphonic acid with secondary or tertiary amines, e.g., dimethylaniline, diethylaniline, monoethyl-o-toluidine, benzylethylaniline, benzylmethylaniline, benzyl-otoluidine, or sulphonic acids of the last three bases. The oxidation of the above leuco compounds into colouring- matters may be effected by ferric chloride, potassium bichromate,manganese peroxide, potassium permanganate, or lead peroxide, but preferably by the last. These products dye wool and silk various shades of blue and bluish green, and, with the exception of those obtained from the hydroxy-leuco compounds, are fast to alkalies, p-Chloro-benzaldehyde-o-sulphonic acid is obtained by replacing the amido group in p-amidobenzalde hyde-o-sulphonic acid by chlorine by means of the diazo reaction.
