Title: Improvements in Gas and Water Supply Valves for Water Heaters.
Inventor: DOULTON HENRY LEWIS
Filed: 1899-11-13
Granted: 1900-10-20
Abstract: 22,606. Doulton, H. L. Nov. 13. Gas valves; actuating valves.-A combined gas and water valve for water-heaters is shown in Fig. 1. In order to prevent the gas supply from continuing after the water has been cut off, the handle E of the water supply valve M has a downward extension which presses on the projecting spindle D of the self-closing gas supply valve A, so that both valves open and close simultaneously. Auxiliary controlling-valves F and G may be placed in the gas and water passages respectively. In a modification, the water supply pipe R, Fig. 3, is fitted with a diaphragm A<1>. The diaphragm closes a chamber, within which works a piston B' connected to the spindle of the gas valve S. When the water supply is cut off, the pressure on the diaphragm is removed, and the gas valve closes. Auxiliary control valves G<1>, H<1> may be used, and a check valve E' prevents the backward escape of steam from the heater.

Granted: 1900-01-20
Abstract: 24,426. Timmermann, W., and Dellschafft, H. Dec. 8. Cranes; lifting apparatus combined with weighing - apparatus. - The block of a crane or other lifting - machine is fitted with weighing - apparatus as shown. The hook a, Fig. 1, from which the weight is suspended, is supported from a plate b which rests on the spring a<2>. As the spring is compressed, a stud on the plate working in a spiral groove in the stem c rotates the stem proportionally to the weight suspended. The stem is connected by bevel gearing to a shaft i, on which is arranged the indicating mechanism shown, enlarged, in Fig. 2. A pointer f is fixed on the shaft i, and indicates up to 200 kilogrammes on the dial e. After one revolution, the pointer g is caught and carried forwards, and indicates greater weights. Three or more pointers may be employed. By means of a ratchet gearing m the sum total of a number of weighings is recorded on the dial k in kilogrammes, and on a third dial n in larger units.

Title: Manufacture of Phthalein Dyestuffs.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1899-12-15
Granted: 1900-11-03
Abstract: 24,953. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Dec. 15. Dyes, artificial.-New phthalein dye-stuffs, which differ in tinctorial properties from the rhodamines and are less basic, are produced by condensing alkylamido-oxybenzoylbenzoic acids with alphylated amidophenols in presence of condensing-agents, such as zinc chloride, phosphoric acid, and sulphuric acid. These products are further converted into sulphonic - acid dyes resembling violamines by sulphonation. Condensation and sulphonation are effected in one operation when sulphuric acid of 66‹ BÚ is used. The following examples are given :-(1) Production of a dye-stuff which dyes cotton treated with tannin violet, from dimethylamido - oxybenzoylbenzoic acid, and m-oxydiphenylamine in presence of zinc chloride ; (2) production of the sulphonic acid of this dye-stuff which dyes wool in an acid bath fast magenta shades by using sulphuric acid of 66‹ BÚ. in place of zinc chloride; (3) production of a blue-red sulphonic-acid dye for wool by substituting diethylamido-oxybenzoylbenzoic acid for the dimethylamido compound, and m-oxyphenyl-ptolylamine for m-oxydiphenylamine in the preceding example ; and (4) production of a magenta sulphonic-acid dye for wool by using ethylamidooxybenzoylbenzoic acid in example 2.
