Title: Improvements in the Process for Printing, Transferring and Fixing Lithographic Colours and the like, with an Oily or Resinous Base, especially on to Stuffs.
Inventor: DIEDERICHS JEAN
Filed: 1899-09-04
Granted: 1900-09-01
Abstract: 17,872. DiÚderichs, J. Sept. 4. Lithographic and like printing. - Relates to a process of printing, transferring, and fixing lithographic colours and the like, with an oily or resinous base. The design, which may be in one or more colours, is transferred directly from one material to another by pressure, and an essential feature of the process consists in heating the carrier of the design during the transfer process. When tannin colours are employed, the material to be printed is first mordanted with a metallic solution containing a compound of tin or antimony. After printing the design on the carrier material, the latter is treated with the warm spray or vapour of a liquid, e.g. a hydrocarbon, acid, or alcohol, which is capable of being absorbed by the transfer ink. The material to be printed is previously treated with a transfer dressing. This may consist of a weak gum solution, to which may be added glycerine, tragacanth gum, glycol, acetines, lactic acid, alkaline acetates, or aluminium chloride or lactate. In transferring the design to the paper, the materials are placed between leaden plates, to which pressure is applied. By the application of heat at this stage of the process,'the. pressure necessary to effect the transfer is considerably diminished. In order to fix the colours, the printed material is treated with vapour of a liquid capable of dissolving them, for example, alcohol or acetic acid. In a modification of the process, the metallic mordants are introduced after the transferring operation. When tannin colours are not employed, the colouring- matter may be combined with animal carbon, proteid substances, carbohydrates, or certain compounds of aluminium, iron, or chromium, and the products incorporated with the varnish or lithographic ink.

Abstract: 13,549. Michaud, J. July 3. Folding paper.-Relates to means for folding printed webs or sheets. Figs. 1 and 2 show sectional elevations, at right-angles, of one arrangement. The web or sheets from the printing- machine &c. pass at 1 to cutting and folding cylinders 2, 3, which are provided with cutters 4, 4<1> when a web is to be cut, and with folding- blades &c. such as 6, 7, 8, the blade 8 co-operating with the gripper 9 on the cylinder 10 to make a second and parallel fold. The folded sheets then pass to tapes 11, 12, and may be stopped by removable stops 14, and then receive a fold at rightangles to the previous folds by the blade 17 and grippers 18 of the cylinders 15, 16, after which they are delivered by the cylinder 19 and tapes. If, however, the stops 14 are raised out of position, as shown at 14', the sheets pass on to the stop 23 and are then opposite the short cylinders 24, 25. The sheet, in this position, receives a first fold, at the middle line, by the blade 17 and gripper 18, and then receives a second parallel fold, at one third of its reduced width by the blade 26 and gripper 32. The part between the grippers 18, 32 is lifted by the lifter 28, and is turned back over the lifter 27 by the rod 29. A third parallel fold is then made by the blade 30 and grippers 31, and the sheet is raised by the lifter 27, turned back, as shown, by a rod 33, and delivered by the cylinder 19 and tapes. The distance between each two of the grippers 18, 32, 31 is equal to a third of the width of the sheet. In another arrangement, the sheet, after folding by the grippers 18, 32, 31 and blades 17, 26, 30, is passed to a blade and pair of rollers. by which it is again folded at right-angles. The number of grippers 18, 32, 31 may be increased to make more than three parallel folds. Another arrangement is described in which the sheets may be cut and folded twice by cylinders 2, 3, or may be cut to half the size by another pair of cylinders and each folded once, and then passed to the cylinders 15, 16, &c. The cylinders 15, 16, &c. may be combined with a longitudinal web folder or former, and be provided with cutting-blades for cutting the web into sheets. The cylinders 15, 16, &c. may also be used in folding-machines to which sheets are fed by hand.
