Granted: 1898-10-15
Abstract: 28,449. Marles, H., and Butt, G. W. Dec. 2. Carving. - Relates to carving-machines where two sets of reciprocating tools are used, one for incising the contour of the ornament, and the other for making a cut meeting the incision at an angle. These two sets of tools are mounted on slides D, C, Fig. 1, which are reciprocated by eccentrics D', C<1> on the main shaft G. The brackets F, E on which the slides work can be adjusted at different angles by bolts and slots. The wood is fed by a pair of positively-driven rollers beneath, upon which it is pressed by a pair of frictionally-driven loaded rollers above. The former are moved intermittently between the cuts by intermittent worm gearing ; or ratchet gearing may be used. The tools are held on the slides, as on C, Fig. 6, so that they can be readily detached for sharpening. The holder H, in which the tools K<3> are clamped, can be detached from C by slackening two set screws I<1> at one side and the nuts H<6>. A series of tools of different shapes are fixed in one holder. Tools may be mounted on the ends of levers or on circular slides which are actuated from the reciprocating slides C or D. The slides C, D may be actuated by cranks instead of eccentrics. Rotary carving-tools may also be mounted on the slides and driven by belting. Tubular tools are described.

Title: Manufacture of New Colouring Matters from Oxazines.
Inventor: IMRAY JOHN
Filed: 1898-03-11
Granted: 1898-04-30
Abstract: 6055. Imray, J., [Soc. L. Durand, Huguenin, et Cie.]. March 11. Dyes, artificial.-New leuco derivatives of oxazines are produced by heating oxazines with sulphurous acid, or a sulphite or bisulphite of an alkali or alkaline earth, under pressure, at about 100‹ C., in a vessel from which air is excluded. The products differ from the original oxazines by yielding bluer and purer shades and by greater dyeing power. They may be applied on metallic mordants, especially chrome mordants, to cotton and wool by dyeing and printing. The leuco compounds are readily oxidized by the air, especially in presence of alkalies, and the oxidation products differ from the parent oxazines. Examples are given in which ordinary gallocyanine, gallocyanine D.H., gallamine blue, 'prune,' the oxazine resulting from the action of nitrosodiethylaniline hydrochloride, or of diethylamidoazobenzene hydrochloride on gallamic acid, muscarine, and Meldola's blue are converted into leuco compounds by the process above described.
