Title: Improved Cider & Fruit Press.
Inventor: BENDER HENRY
Filed: 1902-04-17
Granted: 1903-04-16
Abstract: 8987. Bender, H. April 17, A.D. 1901, [date appdied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Cider.-Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of a cider or fruit press, and Fig. 2 a vertical section of a part of the same. The fruit is fed into a hopper 21, one side of which is extended beyond the axis of the cutting-cylinder 22, so that the fruit is delivered to the cutters during their descent. The pulp falls into a receptacle 23, in which it is formed into layers of the desired thickness between a horizontal knife 55 and an endless rotary band 31 of cider cloth having corded edges. The ends of the band 31 are fastened together by disconnectible hinges. The band 31 is supported by plates and by an auxiliary rotary endless band 40 which helps to move the pulp along on the band 31. When the layer of pulp passes the rear end of the knife 55, it is covered with a cloth 88, and in the press itself the edges of the band 31 enter slits in the platen 44, so that the pulp is compressed between the cloth 88 and the band 31 in the manner shown in Fig. 5. The platen 44 is operated by any suitable means. The expressed juice falls into a receptacle 29 having an inclined bottom. A rotary beater 51 removes fruit remaining attached to the band after it has passed through the press. It is. further cleaned by a rotary brush 53 and a blower 54. The press is chiefly characterized by the bed-plate 59 being supported by a frame 62 resting upon springs and by the means for confining and enclosing the layer of pulp at its front and rear ends while it is undergoing pressure. These means consist of two plates supported by rods 81 from beam springs 82 pivoted on the upper part of the frame and so adjusted that, when the platen is moved down a short distance, both plates are brought into impingement with it, enclosing the fruit, and are held in impingement with it upon the further downward pressure by the spring of the beams. Suitable means for operating the various parts and co-ordinating their movements are described.

Granted: 1902-09-04
Abstract: 13,778. Imray, O., [Soc. of Chemical Industry in Basle]. June 17. Dyeing.-(1) Azo dyes are produced from certain nitroalphylacidyl- and nitroalphylamidoacidyl-amidonaphthol sulphonic acids by combining them in alkaline solution with aromatic diazo compounds, or by acting with acid chlorides of nitroalphyls on the azo dyes resulting from the combination of diazo componnds with amidonaphthol sulphonic acids. (2) Azo dyes are also produced by combining amidoalphylacidyl- or amidoalphyl-amidoacidyl-amidonaphthol sulphonic acids with diazo compounds, or by combining the acetylamidoalphylacidyl-amidonaphthol sulphonic acids with diazo compounds and then splitting off the acetyl group. These dyes may be diazotized in substance or on the fibre and combined with amines or phenols. (3) The amidoalphylacidyl- and amidoalphylamidoacidyl-amidonaphthol sulphonic acids are diazotized and combined with amines or phenols, and the resulting monoazo dyes are combined with diazo compounds in alkaline solution. Many of the foregoing dyes are suitable for the manufacture of lakes. Numerous examples of the production of dyes are given, in which the diazo compounds of the following substances are used :-Aniline, o- and p-toluidine, xylidine, cumidine, #-naphthylamine, chloranilines, m-nitraniline, #-naphthylamine-alpha- and #-sulphonic acids, alpha-naphthylamine-alpha- and #- sulphonic acids, dehydrothiotoluidine sulpbonic acid, and intermediate compounds, such as that obtained from equimolecular proportions of tetrazodiphenyl and salicylic acid or phenol. Dyes for mordanted cotton of orange red, red, blue-red, and violet-black shades, are thus produced. Development on the fibre by means of #-naphthol, or a diamine, produces fast yellow to blue-red, brownred, and black shades.

Granted: 1904-01-08
Abstract: 540. Bloxam, A. G., [Fabriques de produits de Chimie Organique de Laire]. Jan. 8. Alcohols. - A pleasant-smelling sesquiterpene alcohol, C15H26O, is extracted from such essential oils as those of cassia flowers and of ambrette or musk-seeds. To obtain this alcohol, essential oils containing it, or, better, the 150‹ to 200‹ C. fractions obtained when they are distilled at 20 mm. pressure, are treated with an acid anhydride such as phthalic, camphoric, or benzoic. The ether-like substances obtained are purified according to any well-known process, and are then saponified to liberate the alcohol. Those oils which contain saponifiable esters of the sesquiterpene alcohol are preferably treated with an alkali or alkaline earth first ; this treatment resinifies impurities as well as sets free the alcohol. The treatment with the acid anhydride may be repeated several times, and should be effected in the presence of a suitable solvent if the essence be rich in the alcohol, the solvent being omitted and the temperature raised if the essence be poor. An example of the treatment of oil of ambrette-seeds is given in the Specification. The pure product, obtained by repeated fractional distillation in vacuo, is an almost colourless oil, the uncorrected boiling point at 10 mm. pressure being 160‹ C. Specific gravity, 0À885 at 80‹ C. ; refractive index, nd = 1À488.

Granted: 1903-07-23
Abstract: 13,345. Severin, H. June 15. Blowing and moulding bottles &c.-Relates to machines for blowing and moulding hollow glass articles, and especially bottles. The parison and finishing moulds b, d are each made in two parts hinged on the frame, and two mouth moulds c, c<1> are employed, which are mounted on opposite sides of the pivoted plate l and of the axis m of the plate, as shown. When a bottle is being finished in the mould d, a parison is being formed in the mould b, and when these operations are completed, the moulds are opened and the plate l is turned by the hand-wheel k through an angle of 180‹, thus bringing the new parison in its mouth mould to the finishing-mould, and the mouth mould previously over the finishing-mould to the parison mould. The mouth moulds are in communication with the passages n in the plate l, compressed air being supplied, as required, through the valvecontrolled passages s, s<1> in the axis m. The passages n are normally closed by spring-controlled flap valves o, o', which are opened by the arm i on the mouth stamper or mandrel h when the latter is raised to form the mouth of the parison, and are closed by their springs when the mandrel is withdrawn. In its retracted position, the mandrel is clear of the mould, and its cooling between successive operations is thus facilitated. The mandrel and the bottom stamp e are operated by the levers g,f respectively.
