Patent GB-190222823-A (GB)
Title: Process for the Manufacture of Sulphurised Dyestuffs.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1902-10-20
Granted: 1903-09-03
Abstract: 22,823. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Oct. 20. Dialkyl p-amido-p<1>-oxy-m<1>-m<1>-dichlordiphenylamines are obtained either by oxidizing dialkylp-phenylenediamine with o-o-dichlorophenol, or by oxidizing o-o-dichlor-p-amidophenol with dialkylanilines and reducing the chlorinated indophenols obtained. The manufacture of the dichlorophenol may also be combined with the other reaction by dissolving phenol in alkali, running in chloride of lime or sodium hypochlorite, and, after the reaction, adding dialkyl-p-phenylenediamine, obtained by reducing nitrosodialkylaniline, and oxidizing with hypochlorite, ferricyanide, &c. The dichlorindophenol is separated and reduced by heating with a solution of sodium sulphide. Dyes, artificial.-An indophenol or diphenylamine derivative produced by the above-described reactions is heated for about 20 hours to from 94‹ to 110‹ C. in a reflux apparatus with sodium sulphide, glycerine, sulphur, and water, preferably in the presence of alcohol. The mass is then diluted, and can be used for dyeing a reddish-blue indigo-like shade. The indophenol may be treated without prior reduction with the sodium sulphide &c. The dye-stuff derived from the dimethyl derivative is a violet-black powder, insoluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol, dissolving to a blue solution in concentrated sulphuric acid, and easily soluble in hot alkali sulphides. According to the Provisional Specification, the indophenol may be produced from the dialkyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochlorides.

Title: Improvements in Cycle Pedals and Cranks.
Inventor: HARVEY WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1903-02-16
Granted: 1904-01-14
Abstract: 3581. Harvey, W. H. Feb. 16. Cranks pedals.-A variable - throw crank is formed by fixing to the outer end of the pedal pin b an eccentric c, round which a ring e is supported on interposed ball bearings. The ring carries the pedal f, which is held horizontal by the foot of the rider so as to be outside the pedal pin when the crank a is near the top of its stroke, as shown on the right-hand side of Fig. 5, and to shorten the crank when near the bottom, as shown on the lefthand side of Fig. 5. Relative rotation of the ring e and eccentric c can be prevented by a pivoted catch l, which is normally released by the pressure of the foot. A pawl i, pivoted to the pedal, acts on a ratchet-wheel g secured to the eccentric and allows relative rotation of the eccentric and ringe in one direction only. Two eccentrics may be fixed to each pedal pin.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Manufacturing Gas.
Inventor: TURNER CHARLES WORTH
Filed: 1903-04-28
Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 9573. Turner, C. W. April 28. Oil gas; water gas and producer gas.-Gas is produced from the mixed and superheated vapours of oil and water. After the coil 7 of the series of coils shown in the Figure has been initially heated by a torch or other independent source of heat, oil under pressure is admitted thereto from the tank 1, and the heat of the coils is subsequently maintained by the burners 30, 36, where a portion of the vapour or gas generated is consumed. Water under pressure is then admitted from the tank 9 to the coil 15, and the oil vapour from the coil 7 and the steam from the coil 15 pass by the pipe 21 to the coil 17, the return of the oil vapour, the steam, and the mixed vapours being prevented by the check valves 6, 14, 25, respectively. The coils are enclosed by heat-retaining jackets or shells 19, 51, which may be lined with firebrick. From the coil 17, the mixed vapours pass to the coils 18, 32, 34, where under the high temperature and pressure the steam is partly decomposed by the oxygen combining with the carbon of the oil vapour to form carbon monoxide and to set the hydrogen free. The gas then traverses the fixing-coil 29 and the pipe 40 to the tank 42, where any condensable matter is separated, while the gas flows into the holder 45.
