Title: Improvements in Photographic or Heliographic Printing Apparatus.
IPC: G03B27/20
Filed: 1909-02-26
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 4790. Penrose & Co., A. W., and Gamble, W. Feb. 26. Printing - apparatus with pneumatic-pressure devices.- Relates to printing-frames of the kind in which the negatives, sensitized sheets, and the like are held by a pneumatically - actuated flexible backing-sheet. To facilitate the passage of air to the exhaust orifice in the flexible sheet, the orifice is surrounded on the inside of the sheet by a layer of stiffened material having passages leading from the central orifice to the edge of the material. The outer portion of the frame is made deep with a deep rabbet, in which is fitted a removable light inner frame secured firmly in position by wedge plates. The air is exhausted by an electrically-driven vacuum pump, having. a gauge constructed so that when the exhaustion reaches a predetermined amount it operates an electric switch, whereby the motor is stopped and kept out of action so long as this particular degree of exhaustion is maintained. Figs. 3 and 5 show medial sectional views of the frame and exhaust outlet respectively. The printing-frame comprises the outer frame A having a ledge C carrying the glass plate F, the negative and sensitive paper G, the rubber or flexible backing-sheet D, and the removable inner frame B, which is secured in position by the levers H acting on the wedgeshaped faces I on the inner frame. The screws J assist the placing of the various parts in position initially. The outlet valve L is connected to the rubber sheet by two layers of material M and N, the lower one having passages O radiating from the central opening of the valve. The layers M, N are stiffened and attached to the sheet D by vulcanizing. Fig. 7 shows the electric circuits for controlling the pump motor R by means of the vacuum gauge T and the solenoid Z. The solenoid is placed in the shunt circuit w, t, u, and, when energized, closes the motor circuit by means of the bar W. Upon the exhaustion reaching the predetermined amount, the projection b operates the contact-arm a so as to short-circuit the solenoid through the wires v, t and cause the motor circuit to open.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Dyeing, Bleaching, and the like, of Textile Fibres or Goods.
Inventor: SCHIFFERS AUGUST
IPC: D06B5/00
Filed: 1909-12-02
Granted: 1910-12-02
Abstract: 28,126. Schiffers, A. Dec. 2. Drying fibrous materials. - In a machine for dyeing, bleaching, and similarly treating textile fibres or goods, such as wool, cotton, artificial silk, &c., in cops, or loose state, or as finished goods, the materials are packed in a receiver and are therein, in succession, dyed, centrifuged, fixed, rinsed, and dried without removal. The receiver 30, Fig. 3, consists of an annular vessel composed of inner and outer perforated mantles 37, 38 supported by a bottom 31 seated upon a conical shoulder 32 of a vertical shaft 29. The top 33 is held in position on the shaft 29 by a perforated spacing- ring 34. During the circulation of fluid through the receiver, the receiver is held up sothat the spacing- ring 34 is held tightly against a ring channel 23 by the action, through lateral pintles 58 and levers and rods 59, 60, 50, 52, of a handwheel nut 53, Fig. 1, working on the upper screw-threaded portion of the last rod 52. In these circumstances fluid can pass through a multi-way valve 61 and a channel 62 in the wall of the vat 1 which contains the receiver 30, up through the tubular trunnion 7 of the cover 6, through a channel 22 in the cover itself, and so through the ring channel 23 to the interior space of the receiver 30, through the materials therein, and then out through another aperture and the same valve, or (2) in the contrary direction. The tubular trunnion 7 of the cover 6 is seated in a sleeve 8 one side of which has a rack, by means of which, in conjunction with hand-actuated worm and spur-wheel gear, the cover can be raised. Packing 11 is provided, as also a ball bearing 10 to enable the cover to be swung aside when raised from off the vat 1. A succession of treatments for dyeing, the various multiway cocks 61, 69, 72 being appropriately turned for each operation, is carried out as follows: The vat being charged and closed, and the receiver 30 being raised as described, the air in the vat is drawn off through a pipe 68<1> and heating-conduits 67, 66 by a blower 68. After this. evacuation, the dye and other liquors are admitted and may be circulated by a pump 70. After withdrawing any liquor, the vertical shaft 29 is lowered, and the receiver is rapidly rotated on its ball bearings 28 in the cover 39<1>, 45 below the bottom 5 of the vat, and in a hanger 51, also below the vat 1. In this way all remaining liquor is centrifuged out of the receiver 30 and drawn off by the pump 70. The receiver is brought to rest by gradually lowering a friction sleeve 47, controlled by one 50 of the levers, until it makes contact with the driving-pulley 55. The goods are finally dried by passing hot air through them, the heaters 66, 67 now being brought into operation. Bleaching &c. is effected similarly.

Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 13,337. Heurtley, E. S. June 1. Indicating-appliances. - In apparatus for magnifying small effects such as the currents received at the end of a submarine cable, a shield is positioned by the small effects relatively to a sensitive wire, so as to vary the temperature effects of a blast of air, gas, or vapour on the wire, the resistance of the wire being thus varied. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, a pivoted shield 6 is placed between a wire d and a flame or a blast of hot or cold gas or vapour represented by 5. In a modification, the movements of a pivoted shield produce variations in opposite directions in two pairs of coiled wires, connected in a Wheatstone bridge. In another arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the wire is movable relatively to a body 1, which is maintained at a temperature different from that of the wire, which may itself be heated by a local current. The device may be so arranged that movements of the shield or wire in either. direction produce temperature changes in one direction only; for instance the shield may be very narrow. According to the Provisional Specification, the sensitive wire may be heated by a current in an auxiliary wire or filament, and the mechanical movements may alter the position of the heating-element or of the sensitive wire. The sensitive wire or the shield may be moved so as to vary the convection currents from the current-heated wire. Otherwise the amount of the sensitive wire in contact with a surface maintained at a temperature different from that of the wire may be varied. Specification 17,555/09 is referred to.
