Filters; media, charging; decanting and settling. - Travelling apparatus for distributing sand over filter-beds is shown in plan in Fig. 1 and in vertical section in Fig. 5, in connexion with a covered filter the roof 1 of which is supported by piers 2. Wheels 8 mounted in the frame of the apparatus travel on tracks 4, which rest on brackets 3 attached to the piers 2 and are supported intermediately by hangers 6 from the roof. Sand is supplied by water carriage through a flexible hose 60<a>, which is wound on a reel 62 but has one end fixed to a supply source. The other end is attached to a hollow shaft 64, around which the reel turns and from which the sand is passed by a flexible connexion 65 to the space behind a partition 67 in a receiver 51. The sand is lifted from the receiver by an elevator screw 53, and discharged on to the bed down the shoot 59. The water flows over the trough 75, and is withdrawn through the pipe 74 by an exbausting-apparatus 71 operated by a motor 72. From the exhauster, it passes through a pipe 70 to a hose 61 arranged in a similar manner to the hose 60<a>. In front of the shoot 59 is arranged a levelling-shoe 60, and in front of the sboe a right and left handed conveyer screw 25 extends transversely across the machine and pushes the sand towards the spaces at the sides between the piers 2. The screw is driven by spur and chain gearing from the motor 34. Screws 35, also driven from the motor 34, are mounted in sliding bearings at either side, so that they can be withdrawn or pushed out into the spaces between the piers by means of hydraulic cylinders 39 connected with the sliding bearings. Sand can be conveyed to the adjoining bay or gallery of the filterbed by raising the lower end of the shoot 59, so that it delivers on to a belt conveyer 41 mounted in a frame which can be drawn in on guides by means of the crank handle 50<a>. The belt is driven by bevel and chain gearing from the motor 34, which also drives the elevator screw 53. The apparatus is moved to and fro by a motor 9 connected to the sbaft of the forward supporting-wheels 8, by worm, spur, and chain gearing arranged to allow of a quick forward and slow return movement. To wind the hose upon the reels, the motion of the rear supporting-wheels is communicated to the reels by means of belts 82 having tightening-devices 84, and by pinions gearing with large spur-wheels on the reels.

Title: Manufacture of Halogen Derivatives of Indigo and Leuco-compounds thereof.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1907-03-02
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 5122. Imray, O., [Society of Chemical Industry in Basle]. March 2. Dyes, artificial.-Tri- and tetra-bromindigo are produced by heating indigo, or its mono- or dibrom-substitution products, with bromine in presence of appropriate solvents or media in which the material may be suspended. For example, in preparing tribromindigo, indigo is heated with the requisite quantity of bromine in presence of nitrobenzene or other suitable liquid, such as glacial acetic acid, dichlor- or trichlor-benzene, or onitrotoluene. In the production of tetrabromindigo according to one example, indigo and bromine are heated together in nitrobenzene for 3 hours in an oil-bath raised to 225‹ C. ; the brominated product separates on cooling. According to another example, indigo, bromine, and nitrobenzene are allowed to stand for 24 hours, and then heated for 3-4 hours in an oil-bath maintained at 130-135‹ C. The tetrabromindigo obtained by this method differs somewhat in its properties from that produced by the previously described process. In other examples, mono- and di-bromindigo are heated with bromine and nitrobenzene. Recipes are given for using the products obtained above, in the usual dyeing and printing processes applicable to vat dye-stuffs. The tri- and tetra-bromindigo derivatives are easily transformed into leuco-compounds, for instance by boiling with alcohol and 25 per cent potassium sulpbhydrate solution, distilling off the alcohol, diluting and acidifying, whereupon the leucocompound is precipitated.

Abstract: 6250. Hicks, J. A. March 20. Carburetting.-In a plant for making carburetted air comprising a carburettor of the type in which the air to be carburetted is not allowed to come in contact with the liquid, air is forced by a blower a through a drying-chamber c, from which part of the air passes through the carburettor d and part through pipes i, j, the two streams mixing at hand passing thence through a pipe l and non-return valve n to the gas-holder m. The carburettor consists of two superposed compartments, the lower of which is provided with a system of perforated tubes 8 through which the petrol is supplied, while the upper is divided by staggered partitions 2. Between the partitions 2 are placed screens carrying chains 4 through which wicks 4a are hung, the lower ends of the wicks passing through holes 5 into the petrol compartment. The air passes through the carburettor from e to f out ot contact with the liquid. The petrol is supplied from a reservoir 16 through a sight-feed 13 to a vessel 9 in communication with the carburettor d, and is maintained at constant level by an air-pipe 12. The carburetted air may pass through a thermoregulator g, in which the amount of gas passing is regulated by the position of a thermal liquid, to the pipe h, in which it is mixed with air from the pipe j, such supply being automatically controlled by a governor k. This governor comprises a tube 29, Fig. 9, containing mercury and enclosing a tube 33 formed with one or more slots 38 and hung from a frame 35. The air entering by the pipe j can only escape to the pipes 39, h through the slots 38, the effective area of which is regulated by the depth of immersion of the tube 33 in the mercury 29<a>. The end of the pipe i is provided with a valve w arranged to be opened automatically to allow air, which is not required, to escape. The subsidiary air-supply governor k, the air-escape valve w, and the gas-supply valve t for the burner of the blower motor b are all controlled by the motion of the gas-holder m through a depending rod p.
