Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 24,693. Smith, M. Nov. 29. Bronzing.-In a bronzing-machine, the cards, sheets of paper, or the like are conveyed by a reciprocating table B from a feed-table beneath the bronzing rollers, pads, &c. J and thence to a delivery table. The reciprocating table may be operated in any suitable manner but, preferably, from a rotary crank C through linkages D, E, G, H. At the lifting of the front stops L on the feed-table, the grippers M seize the sheet and carry it forward, while, at the end of the stroke, the grippers N hold the sheet and, after the table has retreated, drop it on the pile O. During the return stroke of the table, the rollers J are preferably lifted out of contact with it by means of pillars P, reciprocated by the action of eccentrics or cams Q, or, instead, the rollers J are stationary and the table is depressed. B r o n z e powder is largely prevented from escaping from the machine by providing a casing W, and this may be connected to a fan 1 by means of which air is withdrawn from the casing and discharged into a receptacle. The air carries with it the powder. This air and powder may be discharged into a separator 3, the powder falling into the opening T, whence it is fed into the casing by means of a roller U. According to the Provisional Specification, the grippers for taking off the sheet &c. from the table may continue to pull the sheet under the rollers if it has net passed them; also, a band, endless table, or equivalent with a gripping-device may be substituted for the reciprocating table.

Two pairs of pole-pieces a, a<1>, b, b<1>, Fig. 1, embedded in slate blocks A, B, are magnetized by a permanent magnet or an electromagnet c. Mercury is contained in two tubes p, communicating with channels in the blocks A, B, terminating in the faces of the blocks. Between the blocks A, B is placed a piece of mica D in which channels d, d', Fig. 5, are cut, so as to come between the pole faces, and are connected by a cross-channel g. One end of each of the channels d, d' communicates with the tubes p, the other ends being connected together by a capillary channel n. The channel g is filled up with pieces of platinum m, k and copper wire l, Fig. 6, leaving only the spaces opposite the pole faces open. The current to be measured is led in by wires h connected to the blocks m. The indication may be by difference of level in the vertical tubes p. In an integrating-meter, the tubes p may be horizontal and filled with mercury, and connected to a device to register the flow. The capillary channel n retards the flow so as to produce proportionality. An alternative form is described in which the two blocks A, B are in contact without any intervening mica, the opposing pole faces being set at the right distance apart by micrometer screws.
