Abstract: 4040. Jagenburg, F. G. Feb. 19, 1908, [Convention date]. Pigments.-Colouring-matter, either dissolved or suspended in water or soap solution, is stirred with a thickening-material consisting of binding - materials and oils, and, if desired, resin, and is then precipitated in known manner by barium chloride, a lead salt, tannin, or the like. The thickening-material is produced by grinding together China clay, baryta, aluminium silicate, heavy spar, green earth, &c. with boiled linseed oil, or other oil or oils. After settling, the upper clear liquid is removed, and the precipitate is washed, pressed, and dried, until of suitable consistency for printing-ink. Oil paints are made by adding an equal weight of boiled linseed oil, and if necessary turpentine, to this ink. In a modification, the precipitant is first added to the solution or suspension of colouring-matter, and the precipitate is then stirred with the thickening-material.

Title: Improvements relating to Railway and like Air Brake Systems.
Inventor: GRESHAM HARRY EDWARD
IPC: B60T17/04
Filed: 1909-02-27
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 4870. Gresham, H. E. Feb. 27. Fluid-pressure.- In railway vacuum and like brake systems, means are provided for automatically applying the brakes of a locomotive or of a portion of a train which, though connected to the other portion by the usual shackle and draw-hook or equivalent, has not its portion of the train-pipe coupled to the remaining portion. Figs. 1 and 2 show the application to vacuum-brake systems, in which the usual dummy coupling a, provided at the end of the vehicle, is formed with a passage which communicates with the train-pipe when the usual hose-pipe connexion is placed on the dummy. This passage is controlled by a lift or other valve d, arranged in an extension e and connected by a lever f to a stirrup g, which is forked to extend over the drawhook h and arranged so that the coupling-shackle i, when raised for engagement with the draw-hook of an adjacent vehicle, contacts with the stirrup and opens the valve d, thereby admitting air to the train-pipe and applying the brakes if the hose-pipe is still on the dummy a. The forked end of the stirrup g is made of sufficient width and length to allow longitudinal and lateral movements of the draw - hook without affecting the valve d. The communication between the hose - pipe and the passage in the dummy a is preferably effected by means of holes b, which are arranged in an annular groove c in the dummy so as to prevent the entrance of solid matter into the passage. In a modification, the lever f is operated directly by the shackle i, the valve d being arranged at the end of a pipe connected to the dummy. Fig. 4 shows the invention applied to a pressure-brake system, in which a supplementary valve k is provided for allowing the escape of air under pressure from the passage n, which has the usual cock o thereon for controlling the flow of compressed air through the train-pipe, the valve k being operated by means of a bell-crank m from the shackle i in the manner described above. Such escape of air only occurs, however, when the cock o is closed, the supplementary port p being covered by the wall of the cock casing when the cock is opened. In other modifications, a part connected to the shackle i may engage the valve d or its stem or operating-lever.
