Patent GB-191012777-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with the Feed Mechanism of Turning Mills, Lathes or the like Machines.
Inventor: BENNETT ARTHUR EDWARD
IPC: B23Q27/00
Filed: 1910-05-26
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 12,777. Bennett, A. E., and Thompson, H. May 26. Turning.-For turning articles such as pulley faces, buffer plungers, &c., the tool is given a uniform feed in one direction, and, in a transverse direction, a variable feed obtained by a toothed gear-train which generates epicycloidal or hypocycloidal curves. A worm-wheel 10 is driven by a gear-train from one feed-shaft 7, and carries eccentrically a pinion 17 which engages a fixed wheel 18 and carries at the pitch line a rack-rod 19, which drives a pinion on the transverse feed-shaft 8. This generating- mechanism can be placed out of action, the shaft 8 being then driven in the ordinary manner from the shaft 7.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Colouring Matters of the Anthracene Series.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1910-06-25
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 15,268. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. June 25. Methylindanthrenes and derivatives thereof are obtained by the condensation of aminomethylanthraquinones or derivatives thereof containing substituents such as bromine or chlorine in the anthracene nuclei. According to examples :-2- amino-3-methylanthraquinone is treated with lead peroxide in acetic acid ; 2-amino-6- or -7-methylanthraquinone are treated similarly, or treated with caustic potash ; 1-brom-2-amino-3-methylanthraquinone is condensed with itself. Specifications 3239/01, 24,354/01, 7692/04, and 19,322/06, are referred to. The Provisional Specification also refers to the use of aminomethyl anthraquinones which contain substituents either attached to the nucleus or to the nitrogen atom of the amino group or to both, and to the production of methylindanthrenes by condensing o - diaminoanthraquinones with o-dioxymethylanthraquinones; it also refers to Specification 9102/06. Aminomethylanthraquinones are obtained by condensing phthalic anhydride with a chlortoluene or chlorphthalic acid with toluene, replacing the chlorine atom by the amino group, and treating the resulting aminomethyldiphenylketone carboxylic acid with concentrated sulphuric acid, or by first preparing a chlormethylanthraquinone and treating it with ammonia. Thus, 2-amino-3- methylanthraquinone is obtained by condensing phthalic anhydride with o-chlortoluene, replacing the chlorine atom by means of ammonia, and treating the resulting 4'-methyl-3'-aminodiphenylketone-2-carboxylic acid with a condensing-agent ; 2 - amino - 6 - and - 7 - methylanthraquiuone are obtained by condensing 4-chlorphthalic anhydride with toluene, condensing the product by means of sulphuric acid, separating the 2 : 6- and -2 : 7- chlormethylanthraquinones and treating each with ammonia. 1 - Brom - 2 - anzino - 3 - methylanthraquinone is obtained by brominating an aqueous paste of 2- amino-3-methylanthraquinone.

Abstract: 7727. Berry, J., Glover, W. T., and Meters, Ltd. March 28. Gas meters.-The registering-mechanism of a gas or like meter is provided with a differential mechanism adapted automatically to correct the volume measurement of the gas for the variations in pressure, so that the amount registered is the exact quantity of gas which has passed through the meter at a standard pressure. The rotations of the meter shaft a are communicated by a cranked spindle h, a worm and wormwheel, and a bevel pinion o, to a pinion p which engages a planet-wheel q mounted on a ratchetwheel r and engaging a pinion s gearing with a counting-mechanism b. If the pressure of the gas does not vary, the ratchet-wheel r remains stationary, and its actuating-pawl 2 is held in the inoperative position by means of a projection g on a lever f. This lever is raised, to remove the projection g when the pressure varies, by means of an aneroid chamber c oscillating a bar e to which is attached the lever f. The pawl 2 is then adapted to actuate the ratchet-wheel r through the parts x, y, z by means of a crank arm on the spindle h and a connecting - rod t pivoted to an arm u, which arm u is provided with a projection adapted to engage a similar projection on the arm x.

Abstract: 10,504. Hutchison, M. R. May 1. Mechanically-operated sheet and plate vibrators.-In a mechanical horn of the kind in which the impact members are carried by a rotary shaft arranged approximately perpendicular to the diaphragm, the shaft forms the armature shaft of an electric motor, and is yieldingly held in operative relation to the diaphragm by an electro-magnetic pull, in the nature of a solenoid action, of the motor field on the armature. In the construction shown, the motor field coils 19 are adapted to be moved parallel to the armature shaft within the limits set by the slots 90. With this arrangement, the actuator or hammer 60 automatically takes up an intermediate position, the result of the electro-magnetic pull on the armature and the thrust of the diaphragm on the cam. The position of the field coils can be adjusted as required by the screws 21, and a stop 24 is provided to prevent the cams from being forced too far out of the range of the diaphragm projections.
