Title: Improvements relating to the Production of Coloured Pictures by Photography.
Filed: 1898-09-27
Granted: 1899-01-28
Abstract: 20,417. Lake, H. H., [International Color- Photo Co.]. Sept. 27. Producing coloured photographs; printing ; photo-mechanical printing.-Relates to means for obtaining coloured photographs by the multicoloured process. Screens, with a series of three coloured lines (say red, green, and blue), R, G, B, Fig. 1, are made. These lines are parallel as in Fig. 1, or zig-zag as in Fig. 8, or any other suitable pattern. Lines V, I, B, G, Y, O, R, Fig. 3, representing all the colours of the spectrum, may be used on the screens. Coloured dots may also be used. Paper, white celluloid, or the like is printed with coloured patterns identical with those on the screens, and coated with a sensitized film. A negative is taken in a camera, through the coloured screen. This negative is placed in register with the pattern on the paper, and a print is taken. The print shows the natural colours of the object, all other colours being covered by the silver deposit. Printing-surfaces for mechanical printing may be made from the negatives, and impressions from these surfaces printed with black ink on paper with the corresponding coloured patterns. The black ink covers the coloured lines where the colour was absent in the object photographed.

Granted: 1901-07-13
Abstract: 11,535. Dietz, F. G. June 5. Corsets; suspenders for articles of dress.-A corset has attached to it special appliances for supporting the skirt and undergarments, and for keeping them, the shirt waist or blouse, and the belt in their proper relative positions. One of the appliances is attached to the outermost busk of the corset near its lower end, and two of them are attached to the eyeleted lacing-stiffeners at the back of the corset, one on each side of the line of the spine. The appliance for use at the front of the corset is shown in vertical section in Fig. 2, and in perspective in Fig. 3. It consists of a double and corrugated metal plate 2 by which the appliance is slipped on to the corset, and of a hook 9. The part 10 of the hook serves to support the skirt 14, and the part 12 serves to keep the belt 15 in place. Fig. 10 shows in rear view, and Fig. 11 in vertical section, one of the appliances for use at the back of the corset. The hook 9 has the parts 10, 11, 12 which serve the same purposes as the corresponding parts shown in Fig. 2. The hook is attached to a plate 17 provided at its corners with prongs 18 by which it is attached to the corset. It is also clamped to the corset by a plate 20 provided with a projecting-screw 19. The plate 20 is placed at the inner side of the corset, the screw 19 is passed through an eyelet in the corset and is engaged with a threaded hole in the plate 17. Fig. 15 shows a tool which, by engagement with the holes 21, Fig. 10, in the plate 20, fastens or unfastens the plate 20. The hook 9 may have a pointed end instead of the rounded end shown, the part for holding down the belt may be dispensed with, and additional bends for supporting other garments may be made in it. Substitutes for the plate 20 and screw 19 are also described.

Title: Method of and Apparatus for Effecting Electric Traction on Tramways.
Filed: 1901-07-05
Granted: 1902-05-08
Abstract: 13,732. Abel, C. D., [Soc. Anon. pour la Transmission de la Force par l' ElectricitÚ]. July 5. Electric railways and tramways; electric locomotives and motor vehicles.-Electric traction is effected by supplying the cars intermittently with continuous or alternating currents from supply stations spaced at required intervals, between which points the energy is stored on the car, preferably in a motor-generator A which acts like a flywheel. The current may be supplied from contacts placed overhead on posts as shown in Fig. 1 or in standards between the rails as in Fig. 5. The contacts consist of looped elastic arms 1 or blocks 13 mounted on insulators and are rubbed by a long collector 11 or 17. The end portions of the collector are connected to the central sections which supply the motor-generator, through resistances to reduce the rush of current when making and breaking contact. The collector brushes under the vehicle may be carried by springs 18on T-shaped pivoted frames which are held by springs. The motor-generator is also described in detail with the aid of drawings.

Title: Improvements in Electric Alarms.
Inventor: VIAL DENIS
Filed: 1901-08-03
Granted: 1901-09-14
Abstract: 15,714. Vial, D. Aug. 3. Alarms, burglar and like.-Relates to alarms of the character described in Specification No. 1704, A.D. 1900, in which the alarm circuit is completed by the movement of a pendulum set in vibration by the shaking of the door or window which is being tampered with. In the present invention, the pendulum H connected to the contact plate E passes through the washer G, which rests over the relatively large hole f in the second contact plate F. As the pendulum comes to rest, it automatically leaves the washer G out of contact with itself, thus obviating any need fur a delicate adjustment of the pendulum to keep the circuit normally broken.

Title: Improvements in Knitting Machines.
Inventor: BUOKER DANIEL ALPHONSO
Filed: 1902-06-19
Granted: 1902-09-11
Abstract: 13,953. Buoker, D. A. June 19. Circular knitting-machines.-Relates to a machine for knitting a variety of fancy stitches or patterns. The needles have long or short butts. The elevating-cam 19, having a projecting lip 21, can be moved to or from the centre of the machine to actuate both long and short butted needles, or only the long butted needles. The cam 19 is carried on a pin 23, and is normally pressed inwards by a spring. A ratchet disc, having two concentric series of holes, is pivoted on a pin 41, and is racked round step by step by a pawl 31 and a projection 30 on the needle-cylinder. Pins 28 are arranged in suitable order in the inner series of holes, and are pressed downwards by springs. When, however, a pin comes across the line 5-5, an incline 46 on a plate 40 raises it, and its upper end acts on an incline on a collar 47, and draws the cam 19 outwards, in which position it is locked by a lever 49 dropping into a slot. When a pin in the outer series of holes comes across the line 5-5, it is raised, and its upper end raises the lever 49 and unlocks the cam 19, which is moved inwards by its spring. The ratchet disc is carried by a plate 40, pivoted at 42 ; by swinging this plate on its pivot, the ratchet disc may be put out of action. The cam 19 need not have a lip, if its forward edge projects inwards further than its rear edge. In order to knit a plain course before the needles are again operated by the cam 19, supplementary cams 56, 57 and an additional carrier are used. The cam 56 is moved inwards, against the action of a spring, by pressing a knob 61 ; it is locked in this position by a spring pin 66. In moving inwards, the pin 69 acts on an incline 71, and depresses one end of the lever 70 ; the other end of the lever raises the cam 57 against the action of a spring 76. By raising the pin 66 the cam 56 is unlocked, and it is forced outwards by its spring, and at the same time the spring 76 lowers the cam 57.

Title: Improvements in connection with the Safety Fuses for Electric Circuits.
Inventor: SCHATTNER ERNEST
Filed: 1902-07-04
Granted: 1903-05-21
Abstract: 14,899. Schattner, E. July 4. Cut-outs; switches. -Consists in inserting in the electric circuit a silica. tube A containing mercury which is in contact with the leads T, T. The circuit is broken, when the current exceeds the predetermined amount, by volatilization of the mercury, and it is restored by forcing more mercury into the tube from the reservoir B, thereby expelling the gas which has been produced into the chamber C. The cut-out may be applied to the prepayment meter described in Specification No. 14,107, A.D. 1898, [Abridgment Class Electricity, Measuring, &c.], the terminals T being inserted in the mercury cups of the switch, so that, when the meter circuit through these cups is broken, the whole current momentarily flows through the fuse and breaks the circuit as above. The plunger P, working in a cylindrical reservoir, or preferably compressing a rubber reservoir, containing mercury, completes the circuit again.
