Title: Apparatus for Clearing or Cleansing Yarns.
Inventor: JENNINGS ROBERT GOULD
IPC: B65H63/06
Filed: 1911-04-27
Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 10,246. Jennings, R. G. April 27. Clearing-apparatus.- Apparatus for clearing yarns comprises means which are movable or yieldable relatively to each other so as to grip or seize the particles of impurities and the like adhering to the running yarns, so that as the yarn advances the particles are detached therefrom. The gripping-means consist of a pair of blades 4, 5 carried by a bracket 3 or a frame-plate 1 attached to any convenient part of the machine, the blade 4 being fixed, and the blade 5 being pivoted at 6 to the bracket and held thereon by a screw engaging in a slot 7 in the blade. A spring fastened to an adjustable post 9 presses the blade 5 towards the blade 4, the space between the blades being adjusted according to the diameter of the yarn by a screw 10 supported on the blade 5 and bearing against a stop formed on the bracket. The adjacent edges of the blades are bevelled at the underside forming a runway for the yarn. The yarn, after passing through a suitable tension device, is drawn over a transverse rounded edge 14 on the bracket, the impurities being thus turned to one side or the other into engagement with the inclined surfaces 15, which are the outward end surfaces of the side walls of an inclined, and preferably curved, channel 13. As the particles ride up the inclines, they are turned so as to project outwards on the yarn and so pass in between the lugs 16 and into the V-shaped opening 17 between the blades; as the yarn travels on, the particles are drawn along between the gripping edges until the yarn is pulled away from the blades through the curved notch 18 in the bracket, when the particles are left behind. The yarn then passes over a guide pulley 19 to the bobbin, or it may pass through one or more additional clearing devices having the blades set closer together. The particles of dirt &c. accumulate on the blades and are intermittently pushed therefrom by spring-controlled pushers 23 pivoted to brackets 25 on a reciprocating bar 26 operated by a finger 30 on a driven shaft 31. The bar, when released from the finger 30, is returned quickly to its original position by a spring 43; a buffer stop 42 stops the bar on return, and a pivoted spring-pressed detent 36, engaging a notch 35 in the bar, locks it against rebound. As the pushers are returned to their original position, they are raised above the blades by arms 44. The dirt pushed from the blade drops, or is drawn by air suction, into chutes 48. The apparatus may be applied directly to machines for knitting and weaving.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Methods and Processes for Printing, more especially for Bank-notes, Bonds and the like.
IPC: B42D15/00
Filed: 1912-12-21
Granted: 1914-03-23
Abstract: 29,491. Whitehead, Morris, & Co., and Farmer, E. H. Dec. 21. Printing processes.-In order to prevent the photographic reproduction of bank - notes or other securities by either camera or contact methods, the whole or a part of the area of the bank-note &c. is provided with a design printed or otherwise formed in or upon it to produce the effect of a characteristic texture,' formed of a number of elements, such as lines, or geometric or other sharply-defined shapes or markings, which are as regards size, colour, distance apart, and relative configuration, on the one hand not sufficiently large and far apart as to enable the eye to distinguish clearly the shape &c. of the individual elements, nor on the other hand sufficiently small and close together as to be visible only as a tone or tint. Owing to halation, lenticular aberration, and other causes, it is stated to be impossible to make by camera methods anything more than an imperfect reproduction of such a design, and to prevent satisfactory contact-printing there is produced in addition to, in conjunction with, or as part of the texture, a groundwork of lines, dots, design work, &c., the elements of which are sufficiently opaque relatively to the design matter printed on the security as to prevent all the groundwork from being rendered photographically ineffective at one time, and thus to prevent a satisfactory reproduction of the design matter. Such a groundwork may be composed of contrasted colours so chosen that the photographic effect of the three primary colour sensations cannot all be suppressed simultaneously, and it may also be printed in such manner as to prevent the transferring of the design without a portion of the groundwork. The base or texture and/or the groundwork may be used to form part of the informatory or decorative matter of the note, and in addition the usual line-work or security design may be printed after the production of the composite ground base. The texture may be produced by suitably selected weavings with selected fibres or threads, or by various methods of printing. In the latter case, a large design may be photographically reduced to a sufficiently small scale; a single texture design may be printed in two or more successive positions in different colours from one printing surface; simultaneous printings may be taken in different colours from the ,intaglio and the relief parts of the block, and also, if desired, from a stencil which covers part of the block and is itself coloured on its lower surface with a third colour; the blocks may be re-etched or engraved between the successive printings; or separate printing-surfaces may be prepared from a single original in such manner as to be capable of printing in practically absolute register.
