Title: The Manufacture and Production of Azo-Colouring Matters and Materials for Use therefor.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1898-06-28
Granted: 1899-05-13
Abstract: 14,252. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. June 28. o-Nitro-o-amidophenol-p-sulphonic acid is pro duced by first converting phenol into its p-sulphonic acid in the usual manner, then carefully nitrating this until dinitrophenol begins to be formed, cooling and filtering off this dinitrophenol, and precipitating the dinitrophenol sulphonic acid as its potassium salt by adding potassium carbonate to the filtrate. This product is dissolved in water and reduced to nitroamidophenol sulphonic acid by means of ammonium sulphide or the like. The free acid is precipitated by hydrochloric acid as pale grey-brown crystals, and the potassium salt is obtained as brown crystals by acidefying the solution with acetic acid and adding potassium chloride. Dyes, artificial.-New blue-black, violet-black, and green-black disazo dyes for wool, which withstand acids and light, and when treated on the dyed goods with chromates acquire a greener shade and extraordinary fastness to fulling, are produced from the foregoing o-nitro-o-amidophenol-p-sulphonic acid as follows :-The diazo compound of the nitroamidophenol sulphonic acid is combined with a suitable middle component, such as alphanaphthylamine or Cleve's sulphonic acids thereof, and the amidoazo product is further diazotized and combined with a suitable end component. Combinations are described in which one of the following end components is used, viz. :-1-naphthol-4- or 4<1>-sulphonic acid, 2-naphthol-3'-sulphonic acid or 3 : 3<1>-disulphonic acid, alpha-naphthylamine- 1 : 1<1>- dioxynaphthalene-4-sulphonic acid, 1 : 1<1>-amidonaphthol-4- or 4<1>-sulphonic acid, #-naphthol, or ethyl-#-naphthylamine.

Patent GB-190112847-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Semi-automatic Guns.
Filed: 1901-06-24
Granted: 1902-04-17
Abstract: 12,847. Hotchkiss Ordnance Co., [BenÚt, L. V.] June 24. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to improvements upon the invention described in Specification No. 22,270, A.D. 1899. The breech-block slides vertically under the action of the operating-crank 16, and, when the breech is open, it is retained in that position by the extractor, which slides in the grooves 4 of the gun and engages over the part 2 of the breech-block, the arrangement being such that, when a fresh cartridge is loaded into the gun, the extractor is carried forward, thus releasing the breech-block, whereupon the spring 22, which connects the crank 16 to the gun, closes the breech. The crank 16 is connected to a sliding rod 20, which recoils with the gun until the notch 28 reaches the shoulder 32 on the cradle, whereupon the rod 20 is retained while the gun continues to recoil and thus opens the breech. During the rotation of the crank 16, a projection 31 thereon depresses the end 30 of the rod 20, thereby releasing it from the shoulder 32. At the end of the recoil, the gun is returned to battery by the ordinary recoil apparatus, and the breech is closed by the spring 22 as soon as a cartridge is loaded into the gun.

Abstract: 18,087. Kughler, J. H. Sept. 10. Lifts.-Consists of means for holding the starting-rope locked when the shaft door is open. Carried in a housing R, Fig. 5, secured to the door, is a bolt P having a pyramidal head O normally pressed outwards so as to engage a triangular ridge M, Fig. 1, on a lever H pivoted at N to the shaft framing. The other end of the lever H is connected to a bolt adapted to clamp the starting- rope by a fork E, Fig. 3. This bolt is made in two parts n, o, so as to be adjustable in length. The movement of the lever H due to the opening or closing of the door is limited by stops b, the bolt head o yielding inwards to pass over the ridge M when the lever H is in contact with either of its stops b. The connection between the lever H and the locking-bolt comprises the links G, G', 2, 3. The links G<1>, 3, when adjusted by their connecting-bolt m, form one rigid link. This link and the link G are pivoted at one end to the lever H, and at the other to the locking-bolt and the bed-plate g respectively ; the link 2 is pivoted to the bed-plate and to the locking-bolt. The link G<1>, 3, may be in one piece, instead of adjustable. The starting-rope Y runs through a slot in the plate g closed by a plate L. The fork E may be double instead of as shown, or it may provide for both runs of the rope.
