Granted: 1908-05-08
Abstract: 10,770. Johnson. J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. May 8. Dyes, artificial.-Vat dye-stuffs are obtained by treating aminobenzanthrone derivatives with a metallic salt which acts as a condensing- agent, such as cuprous chloride, ferric chloride, or mercuric chloride. According to examples, dye-stuffs are produced from mono-, di-, and tri-aminobenzanthrones, amicobenzanthronequinoline, bromaminobenzantbrone, and bromaminobenzanthronequinoline. Benzanthronederivatives.-Mono- and di-aminobenzanthrones and monoaminobenzanthronequinoline are obtained by reducing the mono- and di-nitrobenzanthrones and the mononitrobenzanthronequinoline described in Specification No. 12,518, A.D. 1906. Triaminobenzanthrone is obtained by nitrating mononitrobenzanthrone and reducing the trinitro derivative thus prepared. Bromaminobenzanthrone is obtained by treating the amino body with bromine in glacial acetic acid solution.

Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 25,189. Watson, P. W., and Watson & sons, P. W. Nov. 13. Hoods.-In hoods for motor-cars and other road vehicles in which two cover-carrying frames k, l are pivoted to carriers g capable of sliding relatively to the vertical sides of a central pivoted supporting-frame c in order that the hood may not project beyond the back of the seat or body when folded, the carriers are supported in their upper position by spring stops h, and the hood and central support are provided with straps and stays. The support c is preferably in one piece, and has metal fittings d at its ends by which it is pivoted to the seat or body a or to fittings b secured thereto. The fittings d have lugs d<2>, Fig. 3, into which are screwed rods e secured at their upper ends by brackets f to the support c. Carriers g, having forks j to which the frames k, l are pivoted by means of metal fittings k<1>, l<1>, slide upon the rods e, and are held in their upper position by spring stops h mounted on the inner side of the support c ; clamping-screws i may also be provided on the carriers g. When the clamping-screws i are not used, they are replaced by thumb-pieces by which the carriers can be raised. Folding stays m support the frame c, and adjustable straps n prevent vibration of the frame k. The forks j are not screwed quite tightly into the carriers g, thus enabling them to turn slightly to prevent jamming should the two carriers not be raised quite simultaneously. It is stated in the Provisional Specification that the sides of the central support serve as slides for the carriers.

Abstract: 5000. Rankin, F., Russell, F. M., and Jung, A. J. March 5. Indicator or visible signals.-Relates to means for recording the time, extent, and direction of movement of a ship's rudder. The time-recording apparatus is that described either in Specification No. 14,747, A.D. 1904, or in No. 14,274, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Registering &c.], and is arranged to print the time on the side of a strip C on which the rudder movements are recorded. The rudder head is directly geared to the spindle 2, which drives through worm gear the spindle A<5> carrying a pointer A<7> to show the position of the rudder and a toothed sector to operate the sliding carriage a, to which the recording-arm A<1> is attached. The time is printed at regular intervals by a platen B pivoted to the armature of an electro-magnet B<3> and normally held off the strip by a spring B<5>. The contact controlling the magnet is periodically actuated by a'pin on a clock-driven wheel F<1>. The record strip passes over a support J' perforated to admit the platen at printing, and passes between a motordriven roll G<1> and a roll G<2> carried on a pivoted support which is spring-controlled and engages a pressure-adjusting stop screw g<5>. The record strip passes between cutting-jaws into a receptacle below. The whole casing is waterproof so as to preserve the record if submerged.

Abstract: 9317. Vaughan, W. W. April 30. Forging; straightening. -In order to prepare billets of gothic, square, or other required section for forming colliery rails, angles, channels, flats, bars, &c. from the tyres of old steel railwaycarriage, engine, and truck wheels, without a preliminary rolling process, the tyres are cut into three or more parts, each of which is straightened and compressed preferably by an hydraulic or other press, stamp, or compressing-machine, having tools of the required shape. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the tyre a is first straightened by a side tool c, operated by hand or by the press, the part a<1> being slightly flattened in the operation, and is then compressed by the tool d, preferably at one heating, a stop e being inserted according to the size of the billet. The tyre may be placed vertically in the machine, the tool c being then used for compressing and the tool d for straightening. Either the bed b or tool d may be reciprocated vertically. The straightening and compressing- machines may be separate, or the compressing- machine may also be used for straightening. In another form, Fig. 9, a double compressing-tool d may be used, with either or both sides of which may be combined a straightening-tool. In Fig. 12, the tyre a is compressed in the tools d, b without previous straightening, this being accomplished by the rolls in the subsequent rolling of the billets to produce the articles desired, or by a stamp.

Granted: 1909-10-12
Abstract: 21,536. Sumner, R. Oct. 12. Retting.-Ramie or similar fibrous material is treated for the production of fine and flexible fibres capable of being felted and used in substitution for, or in combination with, cotton, wool, silk, hair, &c. in the manufacture of woven fabrics, by laying the raw material, either as cane, or as brown ribbon, in thin layers in trenches dug in the earth, each layer of material being covered by a layer of earth. The earth may be dry or may contain the normal amount of moisture, but water should not be added to it. After five or six days, the material is removed and treated in the usual manner to produce a sliver or thread, which, owing to the change in the physical condition of the fibre caused by the treatment, is similar to wool.

IPC: G01F11/00
Filed: 1909-10-20
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 24,039. Harris, C. M. Oct. 20. Bottling. - Relates to apparatus for filling vessels with a predetermined quantity of liquid without the use of measures, and is particularly adapted for syruping. The filling- head is connected at O to a source of supply, and by a flexible tube T to a closed cylinder C. As filling proceeds, the air from the bottle &c. escapes to the cylinder C, and, when the pressure in the bottle and cylinder is equal to the pressure due to the head of liquid, filling ceases. The quantity delivered with a fixed head of liquid is proportional to the combined volume of air in the vessel to be filled and cylinder C, and this is varied by the admission of water to, or withdrawal from, the cylinder. The filling-head is depressed by a treadle, and when a tight joint with the vessel to be filled has been effected by a washer P, further depression of the part D causes a projection R to open the liquid valve L.

Distributing matrices. -In the distribution of multiple-face matrices (or typedies), such as are described in Specitications 18,886/95 a n d 17,962/98, the matrices are allowed to assume a common level, and the first organ of the distributor is arranged to receive or engage all the matrices before or after they are levelled. Means are provided for removing the spacers so that they are left behind by the first organ of the distributor, as described in Specification 14.582/90 ; or the spacers may be carried up to the distributor as described in Specification 10,525/86. In the example shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the matrices 6, held in the first elevator 1, are swept into an intermediate channel 10, into which extends the distributor-organ 12, having depending arms 14 and shoulders 15. Ledges 11 in the channel 10 support the matrices ; the higher matrices drop from the position shown in Fig. 3 to the lower level, and all engage by their top lugs above the shoulders 15. Fig. 6 shows means for separating the spacers 16, the lugs 17 of which, held in grooves 18 iu the elevator 1, are deflected by inclines 19 and come to rest upon ledges 20, from which they are removed to their magazine after the organ 12 has been raised. Fig. 13 shows a modification of the organ 12, in which the arms 14 are replaced by pivoted plates 21 adapted to descend into the channel 10 after the matrices have been swept into it. A bar 33 on the organ 12 serves to depress on to the ledges 11 any higher matrix that may not have dropped. Fig. 12 shows a further modification in which the matrices may enter the channel before or after the organ 12. Notches 29 in the matrix near the top of the usual notches 30 engage ridges 32 on spring-pressed pivoted plates 27 carried by the organ 12.
