Title: A Method and Apparatus for Producing Constant Previously Determined Low Temperatures
Inventor: SEIFFERT ARTHUR BERNHARD
Filed: 1902-12-04
Granted: 1903-03-26
Abstract: 26,792. Seiffert, A. B. Dec. 4. Thermostats and other apparatus for automatically regulating temperatures.-In producing constant previously-determined low temperatures for scientific and technical operations, apparatus such as that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is used. Liquid carbon di-oxide stored in a vessel 12 flows through the pipe 14, reducing-valve 16, and pipe 17 to an expansion chamber III, where it expands and crystallizes, and is dissolved by ether, which also enters the chamber III from the vessel 13 through the pipe 15, valve 16, and pipe 17. The gas escapes from the chamber III through a pipe 4 to a coil 3 in a chamber or space II containing a cryohydrate of a determined critical or cryohydrical temperature and surrounding the chamber I which is to be kept at a constant low temperature. The coil opens at the top to a pipe 5 leading to a vessel 7 in which the gas is separated from any ether carried with it, the ether flowing back by the pipe 20 to the vessel 13. From the vessel 7, a pipe 8 leads to a pressure-regulating valve 9 and from this a pipe 10 leads to a thermo-regulator 11 from which the.spent gas escapes to the atmosphere. When the cryohydrate congeals, it is adapted to give off heat while maintaining a constant temperature and thus to serve as a "cold" accumulator. The valves 9, 16 are so adjusted that this constant temperature is maintained. The ether returns to the chamber 13 by a pipe 18. A modification is described in which the cold accumulated in the ether is also utilized in cooling the cryohydrate. the expansion chamber being in this case surrounded by the cryohydrate and fitted with a wool or like texture to permit the etber to act on the crystallized carbon di-oxide in a uniform manner.

Granted: 1903-11-05
Abstract: 28,121. Forder, P. Dec. 20. Cabs; windows.-The front windows of a twowheeled hansom cab, a four-wheeled motor car, or like vehicle are constructed of two sliding windows A, A', in the form shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, and are raised and lowered either by the passenger by means of loops n, or by the driver by means of straps p, s, which may be connected together. The sides of the upper window A carry upper and lower rollers c, f, which respectively run on fixed guides B, C, and the rear part of this window is formed with side guides a, into which the lower window A' may be raised out of the fixed guides D. The strap p passes over a roof roller r, situated behind the windows, and down the front of the windows, and is attached to the bottom bar of the lower window so that, when the strap is pulled, the lower window is first raised behind the upper window, and the two together are then raised into a horizontal position under the roof with the studs b on the rollers c pressing against the headed ends of the sliding rods i. These rods are pressed forwards by springs in the sleeves F to allow the rollers f to be engaged in recesses h in the guides C. The strap s passes over a roof roller t, through a loop, and is attached to the top bar of the upper window. The guides B are shaped to permit easy raising and lowering of the windows, and have recesses g, in which the rollers c engage when the windows are lowered, and the guides C have projecting ribs which guide the lower window into its lowered position. The lower window is formed with a transverse bar p<1>. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, an additional strap s<3> is attached to the bottom bar of the upper window A, which can thus be raised independently of the lower window A<1>. The lower window is fixed by a spring stop f<2>, which is released by lowering the upper window until rollers carried by it press back the springs. In a further modification, the lower window is dispensed with. The Provisional Specification describes a form in which the lower window is held behind the upper window by a spring catch, which is released by lowering the upper window. The straps may be extended within the vehicle so as to be available for use by the passenger.

Title: Improvements in connection with Driving Gear for Cycles and the like purposes.
Inventor: WANDLESS WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-03-02
Granted: 1904-06-02
Abstract: 4846. Wandless, W. March 2. Driving-mechanism for bicycles, tricycles, and other manually-propelled vehicles, motor cycles, and other motor vehicles, and for like purposes is operated by pinions carried on oscillating cranks. When applied to a bicycle, a sleeve a is fitted at its ends with spur-wheels b, one of which is preferably integral with the chain-wheel c. A spindle d passes through the sleeve and carries the cranks e, one crank being fixed to the spindle by the cottar q while the other is loose thereon. The pedals f fit adjustably in slots in the cracks, and carry stops g to ensure their being in the most advantageous position at the commencement of each stroke. A pinion i is mounted on each crank so that it can rotate only during the upward stroke thereof ; this is preferably effected by forming an internal ratchet on the boss of the pinion in connection with a doable-ended pawl carried by the crank. The pinion drives the wheel b during the downward stroke, but travels over its teeth on the return movement. To ensure a continuous driving motion being imparted to the chain-wheel, a chain or cord l, passing over a pulley m, is adapted to wind alternately on segments k, k<1> on the loose crank and the spindle d respectively. The cord may be attached to the segment by loops n, or its ends may be passed through holes therein and enlarged. The segments k, k<1> and the cord l may be replaced by wheels fixed on the loose crank and spindle d, and having teeth on their faces which gear with pinions s on arms t secured to the framing, so that the wheels move in opposite directions and maintain the reciprocal action of the cranks. The pinions i may be adapted to engage internal teeth on the wheels b. A free-wheel clutch, similar to that described in connection with the pinion i, may be provided on the rear axle, and gearing may be interposed between the chain-wheel c and the rear axle to increase the speed of the latter. The Provisional Specification states that the reciprocal movement of the cranks is provided for by connecting an arm on one of them, by means of a chain or cord passing over a pulley, with a lever on the crank spindle, or by connecting rods or links to the vibrating arms.

Granted: 1904-06-02
Abstract: 16,581. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. July 28. 1-Acetylamido-2 : 4-diamidobenzene and 1-acetylamido-2 : 4-diamido-6-methylbenzene are produced by reducing the corresponding dinitro compounds by mild reducing-agents, such as iron filings and dilute acetic or mineral acid. The reactions are terminated by heating, sodium carbonate is added, and the liquids are filtered. The diamido derivatives separate out from the condensed solutions on cooling. Amidobenzimidazoles.-On boiling the acetylamidodiamidobenzene with glacial acetic acid amidometbylbenzimidazole is produced. Dyes, artificial.-Trisazo dye-stuffs, which dye cotton shades of black, are produced by combining the tetrazotized azo dye-stuffs derived from one molecule each of a p-diamine and r-amidonaphthol sulphonic acid with either two molecules of one of the diamido derivatives described above, or one molecule of one of the diamido derivatives and one molecule of a suitable unsulphonated base. In an example, acetyl-p-phenylenediamine is diazotized, combined with gamma-amidonaphtholsulphonic acid, and the acetyl group is split off. The diamidomonoazo compound so produced is tetrazotized, and combined with two molecules of acetylamido diamido benzene, forming a dye which dyes unmordauted cotton black shades. In modifications, one molecule of the acetylamidodiamidobenzene is replaced by either m-toluylene-diamine, m-phenylenediamine, or 2 :4-diamido-anisol, jet - black dyes being produced. In other examples, the acetyl-pphenylenediamine is replaced by either diamidodiphenylamine, benzidine, or dianisidine. The tetrazo compounds so produced may be combined with the diamido bodies mentioned above, or with one of them and with alpha-napbthylamine. The dyes so produced dye jet black, violet black, and bluish black shades.

Abstract: 4802. Christophersen, C. 0. March 7, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Stamping; ; punching ; bending ; shearing. - Relates to a method of, and a machine for, making hinges. The devices for working the hinge parts separately are arranged on opposite sides of the centre line of the machine, and the devices for working the hinge parts simultaneously are arranged on the centre line. The driving-gear is carried by a frame A, and the changeable devices for making various patterns and sizes of hinges are carried by a frame B movably mounted on the frame A. An iron, brass, or other metal rihhon or strip is fed by rollers 22 to a bed 23, and the hinge parts and screw holes are stamped out by a die fixed to a block 29 actuated, by a crank and connecting-rod, from a shaft 8. The parts fall down guides 33 and are gripped by spring-controlled tongs, each of which comprises a fixed jaw and a movable jaw 35 operated by links from a cam-groove in a rotating disc 17. The tongs are turned down so as to bring the hinge parts against pins 48 carried by reciprocating arms ; the parts are pressed against the pins by cam-actuated pieces 49. The metal is bent round the pins 48, so as fo form the eyes, by means of pins 53 on discs 52, which are oscillated by pivoted toothed sectors 54 provided with slots in which work crank-pins &c. 18, 19 employed for transmitting motion from the main shaft to parts of the machine. Each of the ends of the hinge parts opposite to the eye portions, after being released from the tongs, pushes back a spring-controlled block 59, and is held against this block by springs. When the pins 48 have been withdrawn, slides 57, carrying the blocks 59, are moved towards the centre of the machine by links actuated by a cam-groove in the disc 16. The burrs are removed from the hinge parts by chisels 75 fixed to a cam-actuated sliding piece 72, and then the hinge parts are brought into engagement. The parts are fixed in this position for the insertion of the hinge pin or bolt by means of a spring-pressed table 82 actuated by a cam. The metal rod or wire for forming the pin is fed to the machine by rollers 76 and pushed through a bush in an arm &c. 77, Fig. 17, into a hole in a sliding piece 79 actuated by a cam. The movement of the piece 79 shears off the pin from the rod and carries it into line with the eyes of the hinge parts. The pin is forced into the eyes by a plunger 87 carried by an oscillating arm 86. The table 82 is now lowered, and the hinge passes down a duct 88 to a rest 89 where it is held for the purpose of countersinking the screw holes. The rest 89 is mounted on a slide 91, actuated by a cam-disc 74 for the purpose of feeding the hinge to the countersinking - devices. The connection between the rest 89 and the slide 91 is made by means of a spring catch, so arranged that, on the withdrawal of the slide to allow the escape of the finished hinge, the catch is released and the rest is shot forward to its original position.
