Title: Improvements in Lithographic Printing Machines
Inventor: SMITH MARK
IPC: B41L17/06
Filed: 1904-06-01
Granted: 1905-04-06
Abstract: 12,400. Smith, M. June 1. Lithographic and like printing; feeding sheets.-The impression or blanket cylinder of a rotary lithographic machine is caused to make two revolutions for each impression, and to deliver the sheet to delivery tapes in such a manner that all smearing or contact of the printed matter with the tapes &c. is avoided. The printing- cylinder C, Fig. 1, may also make two revolutions for every impression, in which case, as it is doubly inked, half the usual number of inking-rollers D and damping-rollers F only need be used. The former are preferably mounted on a swinging frame E. A sheet, fed from a pile table G, gradually raised by a suitablydriven screw H, is taken by the grippers P, and, when the front end is opposite the cylinder C, the tripping-devices J move the impression cylinder B against the cylinder C, and printing commences. The sheet is passed by delivery tapes R<1> to a table S, printed side uppermost, and, when the whole sheet has been printed, the cylinder B is tripped for one revolution until the next sheet comes into printing-position.

Granted: 1904-08-04
Abstract: 14,469. Myer, H. June 27. Cots.-The side frame of a cot bedstead may be lowered to facilitate access to the child etc.; for this purpose, the top rail a of the frame b is fitted, at each end, with a casting c having an arm d which is bent downwards and terminates in a flattened bulb e. The hollow pillar f is slotted so that, by turning the side frame to a horizontal position, the bulb can be inserted in, or withdrawn from, the slot. In order to lower the frame to the position shown in dotted lines, the feet hare disengaged from holes in the angle-iron i. In a modification, a split tube, or supplementary pillar, is attached to each corner pillar to receive the bulb. In the case of a side frame which stands out beyond the vertical line of the angle-iron, the arms d and the lower ends h are curved inwards. This arrangement prevents the angle-iron from pressing out the side frame when it is lowered.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment and Purification of Distillation Gases and the Obtainment of Products therefrom
Inventor: FELD WALTHER
Filed: 1907-12-24
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 28,390. Feld, W. June 14, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Purifying gas; tar.-In the processes described in Specifications Nos. 27,567 and 27,568, A.D. 1907, the separation of one constituent of a gas, such as coal gas, is prevented, by lowering the dew-point of the gas as regards this constituent by the addition of a gas having a lower dew-point. According to the present invention, the lowering of the dewpoint is effected by the addition of steam, or vapour, such as was not originally present in the gas or with which the gas was not saturated. In a modification, where it is desired to separate only one constituent, the gas or vapour to be added is saturated with the vapour of the constituent. In examples, the lowering of the dew-point as regards water is effected by the addition of vapours of the tarry products from coal or brown coal, for example benzene, or the vapours of mineral oils ; or, as regards tar-products in the extraction of ammonia or hydrocyanic acid, by steam (in some cases superheated), or benzene or light oil vapours. The modified process can be used for the separation of the higher from the lower boiling-point tar-products, or vice versa. As an example, steam, benzene, or other vapour saturated with the higher boiling-point constituent is added to the gas and the mixture cooled to a temperature at which this constituent separates. The process described in Spesification No. 27,567, A.D. 1907, may be combined with that in Specification No. 27,568, A.D. 1907, or with that in the present Specification.
