Patent GB-190724214-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Reproduction of Images on Glass, Porcelain, Ceramic, Metallic or other Surfaces.
Filed: 1907-11-01
Granted: 1908-04-16
Abstract: 24,214. AnthÞs, M., and Lloyd, Ltd., E. Nov. 1. Chromo-gelatine and like processes; ornamenting by; enamels.-A process for reproducing images on glass, porcelain, and other surfaces is described which obviates the practical difficulty hitherto formed in using a collodion film or solution for transferring the film to the surface to be ornamented, and which also obviates disadvantages in similar processes arising from uneven distribution of bichromate in the sensitizing-film. The present method is based upon the use of a sensitizing- solution of which the essential elements are: (1) honey, molasses, invert sugar, gluecose, sucrose, or other soluble carbohydrates or mixtures thereof ; (2) a solution of any nitrocellulose in ether, together with alcohol, methylated spirits, or other liquid capable of rendering the ether miscible with water ; ordinary collodion diluted with alcohol will serve the purpose, or a solution of nitrocellulose in acetone ; (3) ammonium or other bichromate that is soluble in water and in the ingredients (1) and (2) and will not crystallize out from the solution ; (4) water. After exposure, the surface is gently warmed. and a pigment or enamel powder is dusted on, which adheres inversely as the action of light has taken place. The film is then next washed to clear away the soluble matters, and is then dried and fired. In copying designs, a permanent negative copy for reproduction is obtained by using this composition on glass or other transparent base ; and in reproducing transparencies by the process, the image may be retouched and worked up prior to fixing and firing by painting in additional pigment or paint as necessary. The process is also applicable to reproducing on wood or other surfaces without firing, the surface if porous being preliminarily sized. Specifications No. 2815, A.D. 1855, and No. 19,843, A.D. 1899, are referred to.

Abstract: 13,533. Str÷mbõck, E. H. T. Aug. 5, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Hooks and eyes.-Tongs for fixing such hooks and eyes as have two parallel straight ends, which are passed through cloth, comprise two arms 1, 2, Figs. 2 and 3, hinged together. The arm 2 carries a slide 3 guided by a piece 6 mounted in a slot 4 in the slide. The front end of the slide is guided by pieces 8, and has two semicircular recesses 7 for bending the ends of the hook or eye. A cam 9 on the front of the arm 1 holds the ends of the hook or eye which are guided by a ridge 10 on the arm 2, the cam having a recess 11 to accommodate the ridge. On closing the arms, a cam 12 on the arm 1 acts on a head 13 on the slide, moving the slide forwards to turn the ends of the hook or eye, Fig. 5, thus fixing it in the cloth. A slot 14 in the slide and a slot 15 in the arm 2 admit the cam 12. When the arms are opened the slide is withdrawn by a spring 16.

Abstract: 14,514. Deagan, J. C. July 8. Gongs; single-stroke bells; table bells; tubular bells.-A musical chiming-apparatus comprises a number of tubular resonating elements which are adapted to be struck by hammers when a handle is operated. Each of the tubular elements a is provided with sound-insulated trunnions b, and normally rests against a pillow c, one of which is provided on either side of the trunnions. A hammer e is provided for each tube, each hammer being carried by an arm e<1> pivoted in a slot provided in a block e<3>, and a striking-lever f is adapted to raise all the arms e<1> simultaneously. A cord may be attached to the lever f if it is desired to operate the apparatus from a distance. The arms carrying the hammers e are preferably formed in sections, the forward section g being pivoted to the section e<1> so that, when the handle f<1> is struck, the screw h<1> contacts with the stop h, but the momentum of the hammer carries it forwards against the action of the spring g<1>. A damper i may be attached to the lever f, and a vibrating plate k, operated by a rod n, may be used to produce a tremolo effect. The tubes a are slightly tapered at one end, and each is provided with two longitudinal slots l and an aperture m. Small circumferential grooves m<1> may also be provided, and an adjustable plate o<1> held in position by a screw o<2> may be used to regulate the size of the aperture m. A leg q may be provided to hold the box p in an inclined position, and a hand mallet may be used for tapping the tubes instead of the mechanism described.

Granted: 1909-09-21
Abstract: 17,613. Barth, S. April 16, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act; 1907]. Gas and like engines.-Consists in applying the Klug or the Marshall valve-gear to internal-combustion engines. The Figure shows the Klug gear so applied. The eccentric-rod g, which is guided by a radius-link at about the middle of its length, is connected at its free end to a link a which drives a valve-lever b. The free end of the lever b engages with a cam f on the valve-stem, but alternatively the cam may be carried by the free end of the lever, and the valve-stem may carry a roller, or a plane bearing- surface. The Marshall gear is applied in a similar manner, the link a being connected to the eccentricrod at a point between the sheave and the point of attachment of the radius-link. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also modifications in which, instead of providing the free end of the lever b with a cam, this lever is mounted eccentrically at c, and also in which the link a may be connected with the rod g -by means of an eccentric link h in order to increase the force acting upon the valve. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Impact-wheels.-A multiple-expansion reversible impact-wheel is provided with a valve formed in steps with increasing port area to provide for the expansion of fluid. Fluid is admitted to the highpressure stage e, Figs. 1 and 2, through a two-way valve d, Fig. 4, which communicates alternatively with admission-passages f, g. The fluid exhausts into a longitudinal passage j in the valve d and passes along to a space k in the interior of the valve, whence it is discharged into a passage m, Fig. 3, leading to the low-pressure stage n, and is finally exhausted through a port o. A turn of the valve d through an angle of 90 degrees causes the supply and exhaust passages f, g, m to reverse functions. These passages are provided with flap valves h which allow a free exhaust.
