Granted: 1909-02-12
Abstract: 3177. Jones, C. J., and Still, W. M. Feb. 12. Lighting and extinguishing gas.-A diaphragmactuated valve for controlling the supply of gas to a gas burner having two valves, one controlling the supply to the main burner, the other the supply to the pilot burner, is provided with a permanently open passage to the pilot burner. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, both valves m, i are of the lift type and are mounted on a single valve stem operated by a diaphragm e. The by-pass is supplied, when the main valve i is closed, through the valve. m and a passaged o adjusted by a screw r. When the main valve is open, the by-pass is supplied through a passage s adjusted by a screw t. In a modification, a check valve controls the supply to the main burner while the pilot valve alone is controlled by the diaphragm. In another modification, the two valves are mounted on a rocking lever oscillated by the diaphragm which is loaded by an adjustable spring.

Dyes, artificial.-Azo dyes are obtained by combining 1-o-m-dichlor-p-sulphophenyl-3-carboxy- 5-pyrazolone with diazo compounds of aniline sulphonic acids or their homologues or halogen derivatives ; instead of the free pyrazolonecarboxylic acid, its ethyl ester may be used, the resulting dye being saponified. Dyes are also obtained by combining 1-o-m-dichlor-p-sulphophenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone with aniline sulphonic or carboxylic acids, or their homologues or halogen derivatives. The following dyes are specified : those obtained from the pyrazolone carboxylic acid and metanilic, o-chloraniline-msulphonic, sulphanilic, p chloraniline sulphonic, 2:5- and 3: 4-dichloraniline sulphonic, o- and ptoluidine sulphonic, and xylidine sulphonic acids, and that obtained from the methylpyrazolone and 4-diazo-1 :3-dimethylbenzene-5-sulphonic acid. The products dye wool yellow from acid baths. Pyraozolones. - 1-o-m-Dichlor-p-sulphophenyl-3- carboxy-5-pyrazolone is obtained by condensation of 2 : 5-dichlorphenylhydrazine-4-sulphonic acid (obtained from the 2 : 5.dichloraniline-4-sulphonic acid produced by sulphonating 2 : 5-dichloraniline) with ethyl oxalacetate and saponification of the ester thus produced. 1-o-m-Dichlor-p-sulphophenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone is obtained by condensing 2:5- dichlorphenylhydrazine -4 -sulphonic acid with acetoacetic ester. 1-o-m-Dichlor-p-sulphophenyl-3-carboxy - and-3-methyl-4-amino-5-pyrazolone are obtained by reduction of azo dyes from the above described carboxy- and methyl-pyrazolones respectively.

Relates to atomizers for liquid d hydrocarbons, of the type in which the liquid is fed to the centre of a rotating plate and thrown off at the edge in an atomized condition. A circular plate A is mounted between the two dished plates C, forming a chamber D with an outer annular part E, from which pipes F, G lead to the combustion space of an engine. The hydrocarbon is fed by a pipe I to the centre of the plate A, which is rotated in any suitable manner, and is sprayed into the contracted part of the chamber D, where it mingles with the air drawn in through the inlet H. The plate A need not be flat, but may be dished, and the spindle need not necessarily be vertical. The Provisional Specification describes also apparatus in which more than one spraying- plate is mounted on the rotating spindle, the liquid being fei by branch pipes to the plates or by using a hollow spindle. Where two plates are usedclose together, provision may be made for adjusting their distance apart.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Igniting Miners' and like Safety Lamps.
Inventor: LEWIS DAVID
Filed: 1908-12-28
Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 28,235. Lewis, D. Dec. 28. Miners' and like safety lamps are ignited in the mines by a portable apparatus in the form of a wooden box, which can be readily taken to pieces and is fitted with an air-tight lamp chamber, the door of which has to be closed before the igniting- circuit can be completed. As shown, the apparatus consists of wooden box fitted with a partition 2, Fig. 2, in the upper part of which is fitted a detachable lamp chamber 8 rendered gas-tight by means of rubber applied to the seams. The chamber 8 fits over a circular recess in the partition 2 which receives the lamp, and a door 20, Fig. 1, which slides in a groove on runners in the partition 2 normally closes the lamp-admittance opening 19 under the influence of a spring 21. The current is conveyed to the lamp by means of terminals 13, 16 on a battery 5, and terminals which are arranged in connexion with the base of the lamp, the circuit being completed only when a spring 11 fixed to the partition 2 is depressed by means of a button 7 so as to contact with the terminal 13. When the lamp-chamber door 20 is open, it covers up a slot 18 in the door of the outer casing, which, when the door 20 is closed, allows a hand to be inserted to operate the button 7, and a brass flange integral with a brass covering of the door 20 also prevents the actuation of the terminals 13, 16 unless the door 20 is closed. The door 20 may be fitted with actuating-knobs 22, 23 and with an observation glass 34. An induction coil may be arranged in the sparking-circuit. The lamp may be adjusted in position by means of a series of arms on a spring- controlled plunger 29, provided with an actuating knob 31. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c. Act, 1907, to Specification No. 12,274, A.D. 1907.]

Abstract: 11,269. Major, F. May 12. Self-driving machines. -A power - producing motor comprises two or more disks of unequal weight mounted upon a common axis, one disk being fast thereon, and the other or others loose, each disk having attached to it t w o oppositely-situated and elastically - connected counter-balance bars, all the counter - balances being normally parallel to one another, and those attached to the fixed d i s k being centrally connected with those on the adjacent loose disk or disks. In the Figures, only one loose disk 2 and the fast disk 1 are shown mounted on the shaft 3. The counter-balance bars 8, attached to the disks by pairs of pivoted links 6, 7, a r e centrally connected by rods a furnished with a ball-and-socket joint at each end. Bars 4 are fixed radially to each disk, and those on the disk 2 are connected by springs 9 to the bars 8, as shown. A semicircular strap 11 is fixed to each bar 8 of the loose disk 2, and the centres of the two straps are joined to the hub of the wheel by tension springs 12 in alinement with one another. Opposite ends of corresponding pairs of the bars 8 carried by the two disks are joined by elastic straps 15, as shown in Fig. 2, and the two straps are centrally joined by one or more springs 16 under compression. In a modification, a system of frames consisting of bars linked together to form parallelograms is added, two frames being oppositely attached to each disk 1, 2. One corner of each frame is connected by a spring to an angular point of a pivotally-mounted triangular bar, a number of which bars are arranged diagonally across the apparatus, each one being pivoted at one point to a bar 8. If the apparatus is set in motion by tilting one of the bars 4, the resulting displacement of the centres of gravity of the various parts creates a torsional strain on the shaft 3, tending to keep it rotating.
