Abstract: 24,119. Boubnoff, B. Oct. 24. Printing in several colours.- For producing colour pictures, a photographic negative is first taken through a line three - colour screen having orange, green, and violet colours. From this negative a relief copy is obtained photographically, the distribution of the irregularities of the copy corresponding to the distribution of light and shade; the relief copy is then used to control spraying devices which supply the primary colours in turn on to a backing of paper or the like. The relief copy, which is preferably to enlarged scale, is placed around a cylinder A co-axially upon a shaft with one or more cylinders B, to which the paper backings are affixed. A needle 1 travels in a helical path of pitch equal to the group of strips, and controls electrically needle valves 14, Fig. 8, of colour-spraying nozzles 9, the colour being provided through pipes 8 from receptacles 10. The colour is sprayed through the apertures between three disks 17. In a modified construction, the control is effected through a supplementary nozzle. The copy and backings may be placed on a reciprocating table, the needle being given a transverse movement resulting in a relative zigzag movement.

Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 3373. Adrian & Rode, and Rabenschlag, C. Feb. 9. Pistols.-Relates to toy pistols of the kind that fire an explosive cork placed in the muzzle, and consists in providing an ammunition chamber closed in front to prevent the fragments of cork from escaping from the barrel. The chamber c slides in the barrel a and is pressed forwards by a spring h. When in its foremost position, it projects from the barrel, and an explosive cork can be inserted through an opening in the side. In this position, the cork is beyond the reach of the firing-pin b should it be released accidentally. When the chamber c is pressed into the barrel against the spring h, it is locked in position by a lug i, which slides in an L-shaped slot. The gases from the explosion escape through holes c and a channel n in the barrel, but the end d of the chamber retains the fragments of the cork. The spring h may be dispensed with, and the barrel may be prolonged beyond the chamber c, the' ammunition being inserted through an opening in the side of the barrel.

Title: Improvements relating to the Separation of the Constituents of Gaseous Mixtures.
IPC: F25J3/08
Filed: 1914-05-28
Granted: 1914-10-22
Abstract: 13,160. Soc. l'Air Liquide (Soc. Anon. pour l'Etude et l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs Georges Claude). May 29, 1913, [Convention date]. Separating gaseous mixtures by liquefaction. -Relates to a process and apparatus for separating the constituents of gaseous mixtures which liquefy at very different temperatures, in particular the separation of carbon monoxide and hydrogen from water gas, of the kind in which the water gas is passed through heatexchangers A traversed respectively by the separated gaseous constituents, carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and then through a nest of tubes b, c surrounded at their lower ends by separated liquid carbon monoxide and at their upper ends by passages traversed by separated and expanded hydrogen after the performance of external work in a motor D. According to the invention, (1) the temperature of the liquid carbon monoxide in the vaporizing-chamber surrounding the tubes b is lowered by passing the primarily condensed carbon monoxide, while still under pressure, through a coil S, Fig. 2, immersed in the vaporizing-chamber, before discharging it into a vessel E which overflows into the vaporizer. The carbon monoxide may be passed in this manner through several quantities of previously separated liquid monoxide, some of which may be located outside the vaporizer. (2) The cooling effect of the expanded hydrogen is augmented. For this purpose, a portion of the hydrogen is continuously circulated in a refrigerating-circuit comprising the motor D, the heat-exchanger C, and a compressor (not shown), the motor D in this case dealing continuously with hydrogen in excess of that due to continuous separation. (3) Stoppages due to obstructing the tubes c by solid carbon monoxide and possible nitrogen are guarded against by the provision of a suitable filter, and removed by diverting the expanded hydrogen from the heat-exchanger for a time.

Abstract: 13,613. Crerar, A., and Whittaker, J. Dec. 4. Loose-reed motions.-In the normal working of the loom, the shuttle, when it enters the shuttle box, acts through the swell, and suitable means, such as a right-angled lever and an organ handle on a rod 26 journaled in the loom frame, when the lay moves forwards, so that the rod 26 is rocked and a tongue-piece 27 thereon is raised or lowered out of the path of a projection 25 on a lever 24 secured to a shaft 15, journaled under the lay 13. When, however, the shuttle fails to enter the box, the lever 24 is moved and acts to tilt a U-shaped lever 20 pivoted at 21 under the lay, against the action of springs 29, 30, so that a ledge 22 at one end of the lever 20 is moved from under a reedholding plate 12, and the other end 19 of the lever 20 acts through a pivoted lever 17 to depress the plate 12 positively and free the reed 10. The plate 12 is replaced by depressing a handle 36 and thus moving au arm 37 on which the depressed plate 12 rests.

Abstract: 16,212. McNamara, A. July 7. Bore-hole apparatus.-In a rotary boring-apparatus, the core barrel and sediment tube are formed from a single uncut tube 1 by dividing the tube into two compartments by means of a bushing 4 which also forms the connexion between the drill rod 5 and the tube The bushing may have a saw - cut 6 to allow it to be expanded by means of a conical threaded plug 10 integral with or threaded to the drill rod 5. When assembling, a removable pin in a recess 8 holds the tube and bushing together. Holes are then bored in the tube and bushing, and if desired in the plug 10, to receive locking-pins 12. Finally, the removable pin may be withdrawn from the recess 8 which is then bored out to receive a pin 13 which closes communication between the core barrel and the sediment tube.

Granted: 1915-08-12
Abstract: 1256. Aktieselskabet C. Lunds Fabriker. Dec. 30, 1914, [Convention date]. Projectile fuses.-Relates to percussion fuses, especially for incendiary shells and small bombs, in which a safety catch is removed during flight by a parachute or the like. According to the invention, a firing - pin 4, Fig. 1, is normally held at safe by a distancepiece 8, which rests on the sloping shoulder of the shell 1 and is held in position by a longitudinal pin 7 secured at its rear end to a screen 9 or a parachute. At the beginning of the flight, the air resistance on the screen or parachute withdraws the pin 7 from the distancepiece, which falls off or is dislodged on impact, allowing the firing-pin 4 to be forced inwards to fire the fuse. The firing-pin is mounted in a socket 3 screwed to the nose of the shell and is connected to the shell by a spiral spring 5 soldered or otherwise secured to the pin and to the shell. Two distance - pieces hinged together, or a single circular resilient distancepiece, may be used instead of the distancepiece shown, Projectiles. - The shell 1 is provided with a four-winged tail-piece 2 of aluminium.

Hose -pipes with frangible closures; stopping pipes and tubes.-A frangible closure for hosepipes, particularly intended for use in fireextinguishing apparatus, comprises a disk 10 of mica or other frangible waterproof material mounted across the bore of the pipe in a fluid-tight manner between gaskets 9 held between the ends of a bush 5 secured to the supply pipe 4, and a sleeve 1 to which the delivery hose 2 is connected. A sleeve 11 slidable within the member 1 has a pointed end 13, which normally occupies the position clear of the disk 10 shown in dotted lines. The sleeve 11 also has a projection 14 extending through a slot 15 into the path of one end 16 of a lever 17, which is normally held in clips 21. When the supply of fluid is required, the lever 17 is forcibly moved to the position shown in full lines, the resulting movement of the sleeve 11 causing the pointed end 13 to fracture the disk 10. The device is used in conjunction with a check valve of any suitable form which allows the device to be removed for renewal of the disk 10 after fracture.
