Filed: 1911-05-23
Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 12,388. Bacon, R. H. S., and Shepherd, F. W. H. May 23. Loading-appliances. - Relates to projectile lifting and transporting apparatus, and consists in a construction which enables the projectiles to be lifted from the ground in an horizontal position, and then to be turned into an inclined position, and vice versa. The body a of the lifting-device has an inclined pivotpin a<1>, upon which a lever d with a handle d<1> is rotatably mounted. The lifting-rope e is so attached to the lever d that the centre line e<1> of the rope intersects the centre line a<2> of the pin a<1> in the axis f<1> of the projectile f. A bar c, adjustable upon the body a positions the base of the projectile so that the centre of gravity thereof coincides with the intersection of the axes a<2>, e<1>, f<1>. By rotating the lever d through 180 degrees upon the pin a<1>, the projectile is. tilted from the position shown in Fig. 1 into that shown in Fig. 4. The lever d is locked in either position by a bolt d<2>. The lever pivot a<1> may be arranged at a right-angle to the axis f<1>, in which case the lever is rotated 90 degrees, from a transverse position into a longitudinal position, to tilt the projectile.

Title: New or Improved Method of Printing.
Inventor: BERRY WILLIAM
IPC: B41M3/06
Filed: 1911-08-23
Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 18,960. Berry, W. Aug. 23. Printing processes ; printing in several colours.-A method of printing to produce textile and like effects on fashion cards, picture postcards, leaflets, posters, &c., consists in printing on one or more parts or on the whole of the picture, representation, or surface with an adhesive, depositing thereon black, white, or coloured flock or other fibrous material, and printing with line, tone, or other blocks to produce the desired pattern. The surface may be printed in black, white, or colour prior to the application of the adhesive and flock. The adhesive, which suitably consists of a mixture of varnish and flake white, may be coloured in some cases in a complementary colour to the flock, and the flock is suitably applied by rollers, or by dusting-on, or by means of a blast. The blocks for the various printings are prepared from a photograph of the article to be reproduced, the negative being used to obtain prints on sensitized zinc plates prepared by treating the bright plates with chloride of antimony to blacken them and then with bichromate. The plates are then inked up with a mixture of lithographic transfer ink and turpentine, and are developed first in water and then in a weak acid, and the ink deposit is finally washed off with turpentine. From these plates the printing-blocks are prepared, for example, a key block bearing the whole representation for the ground print, one or more blocks for the flat colour printing, one or more for the adhesive, and one or more for the final printing on the flock.

Granted: 1913-02-07
Abstract: 3105. Foster, H. F., and Pocklington, A. W. S. Feb. 7. Lighting systems.-An automatic device for making and breaking the circuit of a variablespeed dynamo working in parallel with a battery comprises a hinged armature B adapted to be attracted at a certain speed by a fieldmagnet pole F and carrying a contact-piece C which co-operates with a fixed contact G, the contacts C, G being interposed in the circuit between the brush H and the machine terminal G1. The contacts C, G are separated at speeds below the normal by means of an adjustable spring S. A series coil A on the armature B serves to increase the attraction of the armature B by the pole F after the main circuit is closed, thus holding the contacts firmly together; if the speed falls below the normal, the current in the coil A reverses, thus repelling the armature B from the pole F.

Filed: 1912-03-19
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 6768. Gamble, E. H. March 19. Colour photography; studio accessories.-Consists in a method of correcting colour values, enabling the three-colour process to be applied to lithographic, collotype, and intaglio printing without manual touching-up. The process may also be employed in producing transparencies. In photographing a coloured picture through green, blue-violet, and red filters, the picture is also illuminated by light projected through negatives of the picture that have been previously taken respectively through red, green, and green (or blue-violet) filters. But little correction, however, is required for the lastnamed of the three primary filters. The special illumination is adjusted relatively to the ordinary illumination. In copying a dark painting, two or more lanterns, each projecting light through a similar negative, may be used. A ruled screen may be used in taking the final negatives.

Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 26,885. Vereinigte Dampfturbinen Ges. Nov. 22. [Addition to 3931/12.] Regulating.-Relates to governing-mechanism of the kind described in the parent Specification in which an inlet valve h, Fig. 1, is controlled by a speed governor k and also by the pressure fluctuations between the valve h and the inlet nozzles. In the parent Specification, the regulation was inoperative for small fluctuations, but in the present case the device is sensitive to small fluctuations, but inoperative to sudden shocks. The oil valve g and pistons i, m are similar to those in the parent case, but the piston c, subjected to the pressure at a, is rigidly connected to the valve g. To render the device inoperative to sudden shocks, the piston c is connected to a fluid brake f by means of a dash-pot e or other lost motion device. The piston c may be replaced by a flexible diaphragm.

Abstract: 3539. Fuller, A. C. Feb. 11. Relays, non-circuit-closing.-Dynamo-electric relays for amplifying telegraphic currents or the rectified oscillations of wireless telegraphy are provided with a magnetic circuit of very low reluctance, the armature f being connected in circuit with a telephone receiver. The softiron yoke a has a field coil b, through which the currents to be amplified pass, and an auxiliary winding g in circuit with a battery and adjustable resistance, in order to reduce the polarizing effect due to the residual magnetism of the rotating armature f. In double current telegraphy, the current through the coil g is adjusted so that when spacing current is traversing the field coil, no magnetic field exists across the pole-pieces. The armature winding may be connected to slip rings or to a twosegment commutator. The Provisional Specification also describes a form of relay in which two permanent magnets with soft-iron polepieces and line coils are rotated so that their fields traverse separate portions of a stator ring in such a manner as to assist each other, the stator ring being connected to a telephone receiver. Specifications 4277/73, 6836/88. 23,750/38, 7730/08, and 8387/11 are referred to.

Abstract: 6569. Schou, E. April 3, 1912, [Convention date]. Automatic gear.-In a compound engiue in which steam is taken from the receiver for heating purposes, the pressure in the receiver is kept constant by a loaded piston which adjusts the cut-off or a throttle valve controlling the admission to the second cylinder. The piston f, which works in a cylinder e, has a reduced extension which works in a reduced extension of the cylinder e. By putting either or both of the spaces e1, e2 into communication with the receiver the apparatus can be adjusted for three different pressures. The apparatus normally acts upon the shaft m, which is connected to the low-pressure valve-gear or a throttle valve, and is thrown out of action by raising the point p to the top of the thread by means of the hand-wheels v. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the member f is loaded directly by a weight or spring and may act on the admission of the high-pressure cylinder; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
