Abstract: 18,744. Dufay, L. May 26, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907. Patent of Addition to No. 11.698, A.D. 1908, dated June 4, 1907.] Drawings to Specification. Colour photography screens.-In the process of Specification No. 11,698, A.D. 1908, for making tri-colour screens, printing means, other than the photographic means described, such as lithographic, copperplate or spraying are adopted for applying the greasy material. The screens are modified for printing on paper. The process for preparing the screens comprises the following operations: forming a greasy resist on a fraction of the surface of a layer of transparent material-then dyeing the part left free by imbibition, either by pressing on the screen a dyed sheet or plate, or by immersing the screen in a bath of a coloured solutionthen covering the whole with a varnish having a resinous base which only adheres to the coloured part protecting it from any further colourationthen removing the greasy material, as well as the varnish which covers it, by means of a solvent which will not attack the varnish covering the coloured portions-then repeating this series of operations for each succeeding colour with the exception of the last, which is effected by colouring directly the spaces left free after the preceding colourations and not protected by the varnish covering the latter, which varnish is then removed, any superposition of the colours having been prevented by the varnish and greasy material. For producing prints on paper or other supports the screens are formed on the paper, and the intensity is reduced by rubbing or wearing the coloured gelatine of the screen until a good impression is obtained of the blacks and whites of the print.

Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 3992. Boult, A. J., [Ford, A. J.]. Feb. 18. Tripping and throw-out arrangements.-A. tripping-device for a rotary off-set press comprises means whereby the transfer cylinder 1 is thrown into engagement with the impression cylinder 2 by hand, and thrown-out either by hand or by automatic pedal-operated mechanism. The automatic mechanism may be operated by a feeler on the impression cylinder. To untrip the cylinder 1, one of the levers 6 on the shaft 7 is shifted from contact with the stop 64 into contact with the stop 63, and thus through links 8 turns the eccentric bearings 5. The tripping may then be done either by band or by depressing a treadle 21. This compresses a spring 23 which, at the proper moment, when a tumbler 26 enters the recess in a cam 27 revolving synchronously with the impression cylinder, depresses one end of a lever 18 pivoted at 16, and carrying a segment 14. This segment is thereby moved into frictional engagement with one end of the impression cylinder, and trips the cylinder 1, by actuating, through the lever 12 and the link 11, the previously-described mechanism. When printing on stiff sheets, such as tin-plates, the tripping-mechanism may be automatically operated on the non-feeding of a sheet to the grippers 38 by a feeler 42. When this feeler is allowed to project owing to the absence of a sheet at the time of feeding, a catch 51 on a lever pivoted on the shaft carrying the feelers 42 engages with a catch 52 on a sliding bar, which is thereby shifted slightly. Through the medium of a lever 56 and a link 58, the catch 36 is retracted and allows a sliding rod 33 to descend under the action of a spring 37 and depress the pedal 21 by means of a link 31.

Granted: 1910-04-28
Abstract: 11,764. Bickerton, H. L. May 18. Fixed - abutment type; balancing moving parts.-In a turbine or rotary engine, pump, compressor, meter, or hydraulic or explosion motor, of the kind in which a disk mounted on the main shaft runs in a cylindrical casing and is connected by one or more hinged vanes or flaps with an eccentrically-mounted drum, the main shaft is arranged to pass through the casing from side to side, and the eccentric drum is mounted in a special manner. The vane or flap is arranged so that it comes almost into contact with the inner surface of the casing. so that the fluid impinges on, and presses on the flap to cause rotation. The inlet passage v for the working fluid is directed tangentially to the circumference of the eccentric drum n. The rush of fluid produces a partial vacuum behind it which counteracts any leakage tendency between the inlet v and the exhaust w. The disk e mounted on the main shaft b runs, in the example shown, centrally in the cylindrical casing a, and its periphery may come into contact with the cylinder at some points, but there is preferably a slight clearance. The disk is perforated or slotted to allow equalization of the fluid pressures on each side. On each side of the disk e, an eccentrically-mounted drum n rotates about a fixed shaft or pin f, and a central portion o is cut away so that the drum rests on loose sleeves m on fixed pins k, and a loose sleeve h on the shaft b. A loose sleeve q is also provided on the shaft f. A vane or flap p is hinged at one end q to the drum n and at the other end to a pin r on a guide-block s attached to the disk -e. The drum n is provided with a cut-away portion t on which the flap p folds back during the rotation, while it is passing the portion u of the casing, with which the drum n always comes into close contact or nearly so Suitable valves are provided for cutting off the fluid supply before or at the time when the flap p is passing the exhaust w, and also for reversing purposes. The loose sleeve h on the main shaft b may be dispensed with; or a sleeve may be fixed to the shaft b and replaced after wear; or the shaft b may pass through a fixed sleeve, which makes contact with the sleeve g. The pins supporting the drum n may be additionally stayed and distanced by a plate inside the casing against the disk e. The engine may be compounded and the main shaft extended to serve for each engine. The disk e may be arranged near to one side of the casing, only one eccentric drum being then used.
