Granted: 1905-08-03
Abstract: 12,681. Davis, R. H., and Siebe, Gorman, & Co. June 19. Check valves.- Relates to valves of the type described in Specifications No. 22,980, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Hydraulic engineering], and No. 29,106, A.D. 1904, for diving helmets and the like. It is found that a larger cap or knob is required for operating the valve when the diver's hands are numbed with cold. This cap e is provided with deep corrugations. Owing to the increased size of the cap, the bridge-piece for securing the cover b must be modified. It is accordingly made with the usual uprights g, but a semicircular piece h embraces the boss on the cover instead of the circular piece used heretofore. It has been found that the noise caused by the valve sometimes interferes with telephonic communication. To overcome this defect, the spindle c' of the valve is carried right through the cap so that it can be pressed by the finger, thus closing the valve.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Multicolour Photography.
Inventor: BRASSEUR CHARLES LOUIS ADRIEN
Filed: 1905-07-24
Granted: 1906-07-24
Abstract: 15,185. Brasseur, C. L. A. July 24. Colour photography.-Relates to a method of obtaining positives with more correct relative colour values than usual, or with any desired combination of colour values, from negatives taken through three-colour screens, such for instance as described in Specification No. 8390, A.D. 1896. The method is also applicable to the production of colour-printing plates. In an ordinary. negative the silver deposit is the same under the red, green, and blue potions, as is illustrated by the spectrum negative in Fig. 2. A diapositive is taken from this negative and is copied through a black and white screen in which the black parts are double the width of the transparent parts, and of the rulings of the three-colour screen. The red, green, and blue sections of the diapositive are successively exposed with decreasing exposures, by shifting the screen. The negative thus obtained, Fig. 4, gives more correct relative colour values. In exposing, the second negative is shifted vertically by the width of two lines during the exposure of each section, and brought back to its original position before the black and white screen is shifted. Three whole images are thus obtained upon a single negative and are superposed, the result obtained being the same as it three negatives had been taken through monochrome screens with varying exposures. By varying the exposures, any variation of colour values of the different images can be obtained and any one of the three colours can be eliminated by correspondingly shifting the negative plate or the screen.
