Inventor: BURKS FRED
IPC: A61H15/00
Filed: 1909-07-14
Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 16,405. Burks, F. July 14. Massage; electric appliances.- Relates to a selfcontained and portable magnetoelectric massaging - machine of the type in which a roller is mounted in a suitable frame and is geared to the magneto machine. The machine is preferably that described in Specification 8489/09, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.], and comprises a permanent magnet a and an armature b, the latter and the roller c being supported by side plates e secured to the magnet. To one of the poles is attached two spring contact plates f, f<1>; the former presses on the roller c, the latter being bifurcated and contacting with the commutator g and circuit-breaker g<1> of the armature. The roller is insulated on its axis c<1>, to one end of which is keyed a toothed wheel i which gears through a wheel k with a wheel j on the armature axis. The roller may be of the same material as and integral with the magnets, in which case the circuit from the roller to the handle is completed by the person using the apparatus. When the handle is of wood, the roller is made in two parts, insulated from each other, one part of which is insulated from its axis and in contact with the contact plate, and the other part being in circuit with the axis. In this case, the circuit is completed directly the two parts of the roller touch the part to be massaged, so that no current is felt at the handle. When a single roller is used with a non-conducting handle, the axis of the armature is connected to a metal band surrounding the handle. A sheet-metal or similar guard may be used to cover the gear-wheels and magnetomachine. The magnet is preferably made from cast iron rendered magnetic by the process described in Specification 5360/09, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.]. There may be more than one roller to one magneto-machine, or more than one magnet to one roller, as desired.

The cutter-box 7, Fig. 1, contains two sets of rows of cutters arranged to cut in opposite directions, indexing being effected at the end of each forward and each return stroke. The cutter-box is mounted on a slide 5 vertically movable in a slide 1 horizontally reciprocated by a rack and pinion or by a screw. The slide 5 is balanced at 8, 9, and locking and positioning means are employed to secure the location of one or the other of the rows of cutters in cutting relation to the blanks. This position is changed after each stroke by linkage 18, 22, 23 operated by dogs 24, 25 and connected also to the reversing-mechanism. In a modification, the work may be moved vertically for positioning and reciprocated horizontally for cutting. It is adjustable laterally towards and from the cutters according to the diameter of the wheel blanks. The depth of cut may be controlled by varying the projection of the cutters or by mounting the cutter box or boxes on a pivot at one end, and a wedge or screw at the other. In a modification, only one set of cutters is employed, and the linkage 18 may be employed to give clearance on the return stroke; or it may be disconnected, the cutters returning through the cut. Dividing is then effected only after the cutters have cleared the work on the return stroke.

Title: Improvements in Photographic Colour Screen-plates.
Inventor: PALMER HENRY WILLIAM HAMBLIN
IPC: G03C7/10
Filed: 1910-04-11
Granted: 1911-06-12
Abstract: 8761. Palmer, H. W. H. April 11. Colour photography; screens. -- Colour-screen plates, films, paper, &c. are prepared by mechanically printing the colours in points or squares by successive impressions from a single block, so that no two squares of any one colour come next to each other. The squares are arranged in the pattern shown in Fig. 1, upon a sheet about 7 feet by 6 feet and are photographed down to have about 140 squares of each colour per linear inch; a metal etched plate is then prepared therefrom. The design may be printed from surfaces such as hard rubber, celluloid, or gelatine with " Additive " transfer or litho inks; or an "offset" printing process may be used. In printing the colours, the register of the print is shifted for each colour a distance equal to the depth of a square. Thus, each set of colour point squares fits exactly with the other sets without overlapping, or leaving uncoloured spaces. By printing the designs upon a roller, kinematograph films in natural colours may be produced as described in connexion with Specification 9912/09, [Class 97 (i), Optical systems &c.]. Instead of transparent lithographic inks, water or spirit inks made with aniline dyes with a trace of gum or glycerine may be used. When the screen surface is required on paper, a suitable press is used with a cylinder of paper which is met by three rollers adapted to print the three colours, perfect registration being secured by micrometer adjustment. The surface is then waterproofed and super-coated with printing-out emulsion.
