Abstract: 19,103. Woodhead, E. Aug. 26. Bottles, washing.-Bottles are cleaned in a machine by placing them on fixed brushes a and rotating them through the medium of external brushes k mounted on rotary endless chains. During the movement, fixed brushes s, p clean the necks and assist in cleaning the bodies of the bottles respectively. A pair of bottom-cleaning brushes are pivoted on the front of the machine and are swung round so as to treat the pair of bottles at either end of the machine alternately. The brushes k may be fixed perpendicular to or at an angle to the line of the chains. The chains may be tensioned by adjusting the bearings for the sprocket-wheels in slots h, or by means of jockeypulleys bearing on the chains at suitable points. The apparatus is mounted in a water tank so that the bottles are partly submerged. A hood above the tank deflects water splashed up by the moving parts of the machine on to the upper surface of the bottles. In some cases, water-pipes fitted with nozzles may be arranged between the brushes.

Title: Method for the Preparation of Diapositives for use in Producing Intaglio Printing Surfaces.
IPC: G03F5/24
Filed: 1915-01-16
Abstract: 738. Rotophot Akt.-Ges. f³r Graphische Industrie. Jan. 17,1914, [Convention date]. Photomechanical printing - surfaces; composite photographs.-Diapositives for the production of printing-plates, for printing photo-engravings on the printing-press, which include half-tone pictures and whole-tone matter such as type, have the half-tone subjects reproduced by a silver halide process or a bleaching-out process, and the wholetone subjects by the hydrotype process, in which the protected parts of a bichromated gelatine film exposed under a positive of the type are coloured by an aqueous solution of dye. Preferably, a dry-plate diapositive of the half-tone picture combination is prepared with the spaces between the pictures rendered opaque by means of tin-foil &c., sensitized with chromium salt, and exposed under a diapositive of the type made by taking an impression in printing-ink upon a transparent or translucent material, such as celluloid, tissuepaper, &c., and dusting with bronze powder. After being washed, the plate is placed in a dye solution, such as natural carmine in dilute ammonia. Instead of a dry plate, a modified pigment process may be used. The combination-negative with the spaces between pictures left clear is used for printing on a pigment paper containing within its gelatine layer a pigment, such as "dragon's blood," adapted to be removed by treatment with alcohol &c. After development on glass, the pictures are covered with protective varnish, and the colour removed from the spaces between the pictures preparatory to the reproduction by hydrotype of the type-matter, the varnish being afterwards removed from the pictures. The ordinary pigment process may be used, in which case two superposed films are used, one for the pictures and one for the type. To obtain the picture layer on top, a support, such as a glass plate, is covered with gelatine sufficiently tanned to resist warm water, and has a pigment paper print of the combination of picture-negatives placed upon it and developed. The whole is then sensitized with a chromium salt and the type reproduced as before. To obtain the type layer on top, the pigment picture is first obtained upon the glass support and covered with gelatine, which is treated as described above to produce a hydrotype reproduction of the type. The first-described method, in which a dry-plate process is used for the pictures, may be modified into a two-layer process by, preferably, tanning the dry-plate diapositive and coating with gelatine to be used for reproducing the type by the hydrotype process.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Cab Signalling and for Stopping Trains Independently of Drivers.
Inventor: FIRTH HAROLD WILLIAM
IPC: B61L3/10
Filed: 1915-04-30
Abstract: 6481. Firth, H. W., and Leake, F. W. April 30. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-Relates to apparatus of the kind described in Specification 19,757/13, and comprises means by which three different audible signals are given on the engine, and the brake or throttle (or both) controlled, according as the track indication is ' clear,' 'caution,' or ' danger.' A ramp A is adapted to be energized from either of two line batteries of opposite polarity to give the clear and caution indications, both batteries being cut out when the signal is at danger. When the shoe J is not engaging a ramp, the contacts i<1>, i<2> are closed, and current from the train battery D passes to the coils K<1>, K<2> to hold the linkage L<1>, L<2> in the position shown, in which the brake vent n<2> is closed by the valve N<2>, and the whistle &c. at m is shut off by the valve M. Contacts F, G in the circuits of the coils K<1>, K<2>, and a contact in the bell circuit are controlled by the armature h of a polarized relay H. With the shoe on the ramp, as shown, and the signal at clear, the coils K<1>, K<2> are energized from the track battery, so that the brake and whistle are not operated. The contact f<1> being made, the coil O closes the bell circuit from the battery D, and the bell rings while the train is on the ramp. When the signal is at caution, the armature h is reversed and the coil K<2> de-energized; the valve N<2> is opened and the brake applied gradually. At the same time, the bell circuit is completed through contacts Q, R, so that the bell rings continuously. With the signal at danger, the ramp A is de-energized, and, the valve M being opened, the brakes are applied strongly and the whistle at m sounded, the bell being cut out. The resetting-apparatus is preferably inaccessible to the driver while the train is in motion; or a recording-mechanism may be provided. Instead of changing the polarity of a direct current applied to the ramp, alternating currents of different periodicity may be used.

Title: Improvements relating to Multiple Barrel Machines Guns.
Inventor: LUCIANI JACQUES
IPC: F41F1/08
Filed: 1915-09-20
Abstract: 13,404. Luciani, J. Sept. 21, 1914, [Convention date]. Machine guns; cartridge magazines.-Relates to multi-barrel hand-operated machine guns of the kind in which the forward movement of a single lever serves to load the cartridges into the barrels and to cock the firing-pins. According to the invention, the breech block is provided with holes to receive a number of firing- pins carried by a sliding plate which is moved rearwards with the breech block when the lever is actuated so as to provide space for a cartridge-loading plate to fall into position, the forward movement of the lever then loading the gun and cooking the firing-pins. The breech action of a gun having thirty-three barrels arranged in three rows is shown in the cartridge receiving position in sectional plan in Fig. 3, and in the loaded and cocked positions in diagrammatic elevation in Fig. 11. The breech block 24 on which the striker plate 29 is guided against the action of springs 35, 36, is moved forwards to load a cartridge plate into the breech and cock the strikers, and rearwards to extract the used cartridge plate and allow a fresh one to fall by gravity into the position shown in Fig. 3, by operating a hand-lever 28 connected with the breech block 24 by cranks 26 and connecting-rods 25. The cartridges are mounted between plates 19, 20 as shown in Fig. 7, the combined plate sliding in guides 45 which, in the position shown in Fig. 3, aline with guides on an impact plate 44 holed to receive the strikers. When the block 24 is moved rearwards, the end 34 of an extension 33 of a rod 32 on the striker plate presses between spring tongues 41 so that, during the latter part of the forward movement of the block, the plate 29 is held by the tongues and cocked against the action of the springs 35, 36 as shown in Fig. 11. The striker plate may then be released to fire the gun by opening out the tongues 41 by rotating a cam 42 through a trigger lever 43. By adjusting a knob 40, the tongues are moved forwards or rearwards to alter the tension put on the striker springs. Each. row of barrels may be controlled by separate triggers by the arrangement shown in Fig. 14. Spring controlled ejectors 47 mounted between the chambers in each row facilitate the rearward movement of the plate 44. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) also describes the apparatus for diverging the gun barrels which forms the subject-matter of Specification 101,481. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
