Granted: 1903-03-12
Abstract: 28,779. Thomson, J. Dec. 30. Inking-apparatus ; platen presses.-Relates to inking-apparatus more particularly applicable to platen presses. The inking-rollers are in a carriage reciprocating in guides 6, and receive ink from inking-cylinders 8, 9. Composition distributing- rollers 13, 14, 15 are removably mounted in horizontal bearing-slots 13<a>, 14<a>, 15<a>, and are held against the cylinders 8, 9 by a primary ink-distributing cylinder 16 having endways motion and driven frictionally by the rollers 13, 14, 15. The cylinder 15 is carried by a frame 17 pivoted at 20 and having a hand-lever 21 for adjusting the position of the cylinder 16. In the hand-lever 21 is an adjusting-screw 22, which preferably bears on a removable block 23 placed between it and the part 24 of the machine framing. The block 23 may be attached to the lever by a chain 25. The screw 22 may be looked by a nut 22<a>. Ink is transferred from the fountain roller 26 to the cylinder 16 by a roller 19 in a pivoted frame 18 operated by an adjustable arm 18<a> having a roller 18<b>, Fig. 3, engaging a cam-groove in one of the wheels 5. The arm 18<a> is adjustably fixed on the frame 18 by a cone and socket 27 clamped together by a screw 29, to permit of adjustment of the contact of the roller 19 with the cylinder 16. For adjusting the contact of the fountain roller 26 and the roller 19, the ink fountain is mounted to slide on brackets 31, and is moved to the required position by screws 30 having flanges 32 engaging slots in the frame of the fountain. The fountain roller is rotated by ratchet gear 41, 43 operated by toothed segments 41<a> connecting it with a lever 39 pivoted at 40 on the ink fountain. The lever 39 is connected by a link 36 to an arm 34, 35 pivoted on the frame 18 and actuated by a cam 34<b> in one of the wheels 5. The link 36 is preferably detachably pivoted to the lever 39 by a thumb-screw 38.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Deep-boring Apparatus.
Inventor: RAYNER GEORGE HENRY
Filed: 1903-02-16
Granted: 1903-12-10
Abstract: 3645. Rayner, G. H., [Gross, F.]. Feb. 16. Deep-boring.-Relates, more especially, to deep-boring apparatus in which a rope carries the drill. The drill is attached to the rope b on the drum c, which is fixed on the piston d. When the cylinder is raised between the guides l by the cranks g, g<1> driven by the shaft f,the air is compresssed in the air cushion p, formed between the piston d and fixed partition h, and drives the piston up. The cushion o acts on reversal, and, if suitable valves q are supplied, both these cushions maintain themselves. The piston i is fixed, being secured to the frame, and so the cushions r, s tend to aid the effect, especially if a valve t is fitted for the cushion s.
Patent GB-190304527-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Blind Stitch Sewing Machines.
Inventor: FILOR CHARLES FRANCIS
Filed: 1903-02-26
Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 4527. Filor, C. F. Feb. 26. Blind-stitching machines; feed; work-supports.- The work is fed from right to left over a support 34, on the edge of which is a roller B. Thence it passes downwards between a roller 31 (which is carried by the work-support) and a feed-dog 20. The feed-dog is carried on a link 24, which is attached to a bracket 27, so as to be capable of motion endways, and is engaged by a lever 5 which is operated by cams. The lever 5 slides through a pivoted pin so that it can oscillate both sideways and endways. The former motion moves the feed-dog to and fro, while the latter moves it vertically through the medium of a wedge. A spring 30 tends to draw the feed-dog downwards. The pivot of the lever 5 can be adjusted so as to vary the feed. The worksupport 34 is pivoted on brackets 39 near the end of the bed of the machine remote from the needle. .The brackets can be moved by a screw H, and also clamped by a screw 43, so as to adjust the roller B with reference to the needle. A spring presses the work-support downwards, and keeps the roller 31, which is three-quarters of an inch or thereabouts in diameter, up to the feed-dog. The work-support can be raised by a rod 44 operated by a lever 46 and chain 48. Needle-bars, vibrating laterally.-The needlebar 59 is carried in a frame 61, which can be oscillated about pivots 62 by a rod 64, the throw of which can be adjusted. Presserfeet lifted automatically.-The presser-bar is carried in a fixed support and a verticallymovable one. The latter, which is shown at 75, is struck by a boss 73 on the needle-bar when the latter is near the end of its upward movement, and the presser-foot is thus raised. Needles.-These are shown in Figs. 17, 18, and 19. The eye end is enlarged, and the side next the roller B is straight, as shown in Fig. 17, and flattened, as shown in Fig. 18, so as to enable the point to pass close to the roller B. It also has grooves E for the thread.

Abstract: 4206. Lake, H. H., [McIndoe, G. F., and McIndoe, J. W.]. Feb. 19. Printing in imitation of surfaces of woven fabrics. -Relates to the production on cylinders of intaglio printing-surfaces for printing representations of the surfaces of woven fabrics or the like on paper or other material. The fabric to be represented is first saturated with size or a solution of glutinous material, and dried by heating and pressing, to harden it and render it non-absorbent. It is then stretched upon an elastic surface and coated in any suitable manner with a thin coating of a paste-like material impervious to the action of actinic rays of light, such as a dense printers' ink. The cylinder is coated with a substance sensitive to light, such as sensitized gelatine &c., and the ink &c. coating on the fabric is tranferred to it. It is then exposed to light, the light-resisting coating or design removed by means of naphtha or other solvent, and the unexposed parts of the gelatine &c. are then dissolved away. The cylinder is heated to render the remaining portions of the gelatine &c. coating acid-resisting, and is then etched by a suitable etching-fluid, after which the sensitized coating is entirely removed.

When the rod g commences to move in the direction of the arrow, the disc e strikes against the other side of the chamber d and the disc e<1> strikes the other side of the chamber d<1>. The lubricant then escapes by the passage l<1>. If it is desired to prevent any gas in the pump cylinder, cell, &c. from escaping through the passage l, a liquid seal, preferably formed of the lubricant, may be placed there.

Seats and seat-backs.-The lower part of a singleended metallic seat frame for railway vehicles and the like consists of flanged panels A, I, Fig. 18, which are secured to cast corner pieces B. They carry the front channel rails D', recessed at d' for the cushions, and also an unequally-flanged end channel D, to which the overhanging braced cushion supports J and panels A are bolted. The channels D, D' are joined by cast pieces B<1>. The channel D also carries the flanged triangular plate C with a cast extension G, to which the top rail H is attached. The slotted tubular arm-rests F, preferably of brass, enclose the flanges e of the supporting- plates E, which may be held apart by distance-pieces E<2>, Fig. 8, and are bolted at E<3> to the channel D. The plates E are also bolted to the flanges C', Fig. 18, of the plate C. The framing is attached to the car wall by screws i, Fig. 2, through the end flanges of the panels I, and by a bracket H<1>, which carries the top rail. Angle-irons C<2>, J<3> on the wall support the back and seat cushions K, K<1> respectively. The plate C is braced to the wall by angleirons M, Fig. 18, behind which retaining-clips k, Fig. 7, on the back cushion frames are slipped. The lower part of these cushion-frames rests on the angle-irons l, Fig. 18, to which they are secured by the slotted gravity catches L carried on the bars l. To remove the back, the seat cushion K is drawn forwards, and the hooked catches L are raised by hand so as to clear the framing of the back cushion, after which the clips k may be drawn from under the bars M. To prevent rattling, the joints may be packed with paper as at S, Fig. 8. The construction is suitable for double seats as shown, and for single seats resting against partitions.
