Title: Improvements relating to the Reproduction of Images on Glass, Ceramic, Metallic or other Surfaces.
Inventor: LING ARTHUR ROBERT
Filed: 1908-08-19
Granted: 1909-08-19
Abstract: 17,432. Ling, A. R., Rendle, T., and Colbrook, B. W. Aug. 19. Ornamenting by photography; chromo-gelatine and like processes.-Improvements are described on the process described in Specification No. 24,214, A.D. 1907. Nitrocellulose or collodion can be dispensed with in the sensitizing-film by using ground glass or other roughened and non-absorbent surface for the support. The sensitizing-film contains essentially invert-sugar, honey, or other carbohydrate or carbohydrate mixture, together with a volatile solvent of the bichromate and carbohydrate. Bicbromates of the alkalies or alkaline-earth metals or of copper and iron can be used ; and as solvents alcohol, wood spirit, ether, ethyl acetate, or acetone are suitable. Polychromates or chromic acid can be used instead of bichromates, although they are not so serviceable, and glycerine in the place of carbohydrates. Where chromic acid is used, carbohydrates cannot be employed owing to the resulting oxidation that would take place in the presence of chromic acid, and glycerine is then used with acetic acid as solvent. Where acetone is employed as the solvent, glycerine is used owing to the slight solubility of carbohydrates in acetone. After the coated surface has been exposed it is dusted with pigment and washed, and can be varnished or fired as required. The glass may be subjected to sufficient heat to vitrify or fuse the surface and remove its roughened appearance.

Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 20,731. Aders, M. L. C. F. Oct. 2, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Signals, electric, indicator or visible, hydraulic, andpneumatic.-Relates to keyboard mechanism for apparatus in which e'ements such as signals &c. or groups of elements are brought into a particular operative or visible position, intercrossing bridge-pieces being actuated by the keys. Fig. 1 shows forty five keys, the horizontal and vertical banks of which actuate pivoted rockers or bridge-pieces b<1> ... b<5> and c<1> ... c<9> respectively. Any suitable means may be used for transmitting the key movement to the mechanism to be actuated. The bridge-piece b<1> is shown operating a valve v, and ihe bridge-piece b<2> a sliding cone or a ball valve w of a hydraulic or pneumatic system ; the bridgepieces c<2>, c<3>, c<4>, c<5> actuate a lever t, a bell-crank lever y, a cord or chain z, and a toothed-wheel geared shaft p respectively. The bridge-piece c' is connected to a switch s in an open electric circuit; the circuit may however be permanently closed, the action of the keys being to cause the current to take various paths. Each key stem d is provided with as many actuating-members e as there are intercrossing bridge-pieces below the key. The members e are of bent wire and actuate the bridgepieces during the depression of the keys until the parts f of the members -pass through below the bottom edges of the bars g, whereupon the bridgepieces are released independently of the keys. The members e re-engage over the bridge pieces when the keys ascend. The bridge-pieces may be retained, when depressed, by spring-controlled catches i, Fig. 4, engaging over their side or transverse bars. A bar k<1> provided with lugs l and a transverse bar k<2> may be moved to disengage all the catches. By this arrangement of catches, keys may be actuated while other keys are still depressed. The fact that the time and energy required for actuating the keys is independent of that for performing the function for which the mechanism is designed, is of importance when the keys are mechanically actuated by a perforated sheet.

Abstract: 16,457. Haefely, E. July 14. Cores, covering by winding.-Consists in a device for winding strip insulation on coils &c. for dynamos, or forming it into bushes and the like. In the handtool shown in section in Fig. 1, the strip y is applied to the coil limb x by jaws m, o, both of which may be hollow, as at m to take a heating- bar, or one of which may be grooved, as at o. The jaws are carried by angular arms a, g, which are yieldingly secured together by a telescoping stem b and tube f retained within a casing h and normally held by springs d', d<11> so as to close the jaws on the work. The strip is wound on by turning the tool about the central axis of the coil limb. The springs are of equal strength, so that the arms move out symmetrically in order to minimize the greatest radius of the device which can thus pass through fairly narrow coils. Figs. 4 and 6 show in section and plan a machine for making bushes &c. by winding strip material on a former between jaws M<1>, M", in which heated bars may be inserted to liquefy an adhesive carried by the strip. The upper jaw is carried on a pivoted arm B, having a peg K for locking it down, and the lower jaw is mounted on a rod F sliding in bearings E<1>, E<11> and pressed upwards by a counterweight G and cords z passing over pulleys J', J<11>. The strip material is passed between rollers W<1>, W", and is coiled around a mandrel which is put between the jaws and butted against a stop N during its rotation. The stop may be swung away and is held in the working position by a spring trigger S. The jaw M<11> is lowered, for inserting the mandrel, by depressing a bar H which joins two pivoted levers I, to which the jaw is attached by rods L.

Title: Improved Means for Producing Sound Waves for Signalling and like purposes.
IPC: G01S1/72
Filed: 1909-07-30
Granted: 1910-10-31
Abstract: 17,770. Kilroy, W. D., Needham, J. C., and Evershed & Vignoles. July 30. Subaqueous sound signals.-Wave-producing plates or diaphragms for signalling and like purposes are adapted to be vibrated positively in both directions by an electric vibratory motor. The operating-motor comprises a pair of electro-magnets both having direct and alternate current coils so wound as to produce a differential flux in one magnet while producing an added flux in the other. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the armature b is mounted directly on the diaphragm a, and the magnets are excited by the direct-current and the alternating-current windings f, g, respectively. If the two magnets are equally proportioned, the choking-coils referred to in Specification 3662/08, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.], are not required, as no E.M.F. is generated in the coils f by the varying flux. In another arrangement, suitable for submarine signalling where the diaphragm is subjected to an external pressure, one magnet has only an alternating- current coil, thus producing unequal periodic forces, the larger of which can be arranged to act against the action of the water. In another form, the magnets act on separate armatures arranged on the same side of the diaphragm and connected together. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the two magnets have a common part g, which carries the alternating- current coil. Fig. 7 shown an arrangement of two diaphragms for signalling in opposite directions. In a further modification, the two magnets are arranged at right-angles to each other and on the same side of the diaphragm.
