Title: Improved Manufacture of Colour Screens for Colour Photography.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
IPC: G03C7/08

Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 9167. Bloxam, A. G., [Akt.-Ges. fiir Anilin Fabrikation]. April 18. Colour photography, screens for.-Relates to modifications of the processes described in Specifications 16,273/10 and 6279/11 for obtaining fine coloured particles by scattering or spraying coloured solutions. According to the present invention, fine drops in a liquid state are produced by spraying or scattering a coloured colloid solution such as gelatine or dextrin, and bringing the drops, while still in a liquid state, into contact with a liquid in which they are insoluble, such as oil of turpentine. A current of air saturated with water vapour is used fcr spraying, and the falling drops are received on to a layer of oil flowing over an inclined enamelled plate. A mixture of three coloured emulsions thus obtained is spread or sprayed over a glass plate or film covered with a sticky layer. The plate is then dried and protected with a layer of varnish such as a solution of nitro-cellulose in amyl-acetate.

Two pistons 16, 18, forming a floating combination, a r e connected by a rod 12 passing through a gland 11 in a short cylinder 8 fixed to the bottom of the cylinder 3. The cup-leathers fitted to the pistons face towards the hub and act automatically as valves, so that compression chambers 14 are formed at the hub, and vacuum chambers at the rim. The central chamber is always open to the atmosphere through a slot 23 and a port 24 in the outer cylinder. A channel 25 is formed in the rod by means of which air can pass to the rear of the piston 18 and by the cup-leather into the chamber 14. In this manner after a few revolutions air is pumped into the chamber and maintained at a pressure depending upon the distance of the end of the groove from the piston, which is set primarily according to the sensitiveness of the spoke required. A helical spring 22 in the middle chamber assists the return of the pistons. One spoke is fixed rigidly to the hub.

The thread-guide bar h is connected by arms o, o<1> and lugs n, n' with one or other of two friction boxes g, g<1>, which are carried along by the bar f rigidly connected io the usual cam-actuated slur bar a. The bar a has a toothed extension a<2> gearing with a wheel x on the same shaft as a wheel y, having a smaller number of teeth and engaging a rack l<2> connected to a bar l having two pairs of stops s, s<1>, s', s<3>. The bar l thus moves in the same direction as, but at a lower speed than, the bar a. When the thread-guide i is to traverse the path marked A, the friction box g is connected by the arm o to the bar h, and the box g<1> is disconnected. During the first part of the motion, the thread-guide moves to the left at the same speed as the bar a ;but when the friction box g overtakes the stop s<1>, it is compelled to travel at the slower speed of the bar l, and the barf slides through it till the bar h reaches the buffer k. On the reverse movement to the right, the bar h is carried along at the speed of the bars a, f till the box g overtakes the stop s.. When the threadguide is to traverse the path B, the box g<1> is connected to, and the box g is disconnected from, the bar h and the buffer p is lowered into its active position ; the bar h then moves at the speed of the bars f or a till the box g<1> overtakes the stop s<3> or s<2> as the case may be. In order to prevent damage if the box g is not disconnected when the buffer p is put into action, there is a friction clutch or slip connexion between the wheels x, y and their common axle.
