Granted: 1899-02-04
Abstract: 20,111. Michaud, J. Sept. 22. Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces.- In the form shown in Fig. 1, the web is fed by feedrollers 11 from a reel 10 and passes over guide-rollers, as shown, to a roller 13 carried by a longitudinallyoscillating frame 46, from which it is conveyed under the cylinder 4, where one side is printed, back over a second roller 19 on the frame 46, and then to rollers 21, which feed it to a similar arrangement of rollers connected with the second cylinder 5, from which it passes over feed-rollers 34 and, being diverted by rods 37, passes out laterally to the folders &c. The formes 2 and 3 have plane surfaces, and move to and fro under the cylinders 4 and 5. The action is as follows :-During the double travel of the formes, the rollers 11, 21, and 34 feed out a double length of paper. The forme 2 passes forward in the direction of the arrow 47, under the inking-rollers 6, and prints one length of paper under the roller 4. The forme moves faster than the rollers 11 supply paper, the additional paper required being supplied by the motion of the frame 46 in the direction shown by the arrow 48. While the forme is passing under the inking-rollers 7 and back again, a second length of paper passes under the cylinder 4, and is taken up by the motion of the frame 46. The motion of the latter is reversed when the forme 2 again engages the cylinder, the second length of paper being fed backwards and printed. This length again passes under the cylinder while the forme is being inked. In a similar manner the forme 3 prints the other side of the web. In a modification, the web passes from the roller 21, over a turning-appliance consisting of rods 50 and a pulley 51 as shown in Fig. 4, by which it is inverted. After this operation it is printed by the forme 3, and passes forwards to the folders &c. In a further arrangement, suitable for printing in several colours, the turning-appliance is dispensed with, and the web printed twice on the same side. In another modification, the formes 2 and 3 are placed side by side, the web, after passing the first series of rollers, being carried rearwards, inverted, and passed through the second series.

Granted: 1900-05-26
Abstract: 15,497. Shillito, T. R., [Geigy & Co., J. R.]. July 28. alpha-Isatine anilide. - Hydrocyanocarbodiphenylimide is produced by acting upon thiocarbanilide with a basic salt of lead, such as the basic carbonate, in presence of an alkaline cyanide, and it is separated from the sulphide of lead formed at the same time by extraction with ether. It is converted into the corresponding thioamide of the formula by the action of a solution of yellow ammonium sulphide at 25‹-40‹ C. This product when purified forms thin yellow brilliant prisms which melt at 161‹-162‹ C. It is converted into alpha-isatine anilide by carefully mixing it with concentrated sulphuric acid at 90‹-95‹ C. and then heating the mixture to 105‹ C. until evolution of sulphurous acid ceases. The mixture, when cooled, is poured into sodiumcarbonate solution, whereupon the alpha-isatine anilide is precipitated in brown crystalline masses which are filtered off and dried at a low temperature. Dyes, artificial. - (1) Indigo is produced by reducing alpha-isatine anilide in alcoholic solution with ammonium sulphide and removing the sulphur present in the product by means of carbon bisulphide. (2) A mixture of indigo and indigo red in desired proportions is produced by similarly reducing a suitable mixture of alpha-isatine anilide and isatine.
