Abstract: 25,222. Textil - Maschinenfabrik B. Cohnen. Nov. 2, 1908, [Convention date]. Cop type. - In apparatus for dyeing cops by the circulation of the dye liquor in alternate directions through the textile material, the drum - shaped cop-carrier is arranged to be firmly connected with the circulating-means by simple application, without mechanical connecting-means, and is furnished with a bell which covers it and allows air to be completely removed from the textile material, while preventing air from getting at the material rapidly when removed from the treating-vat. The carrier A is divided into an upper chamber B and an annular chamber D by a middle flange f and a concentric tube S. In operation, a bell P is put over the carrier A carrying the cops c, and when the carrier enters the liquid in the vat F, connexion with a vacuum is opened through a valve H and flexible pipe Z attached to the bell P, the material being thus deprived of air before entering the dyeing-fluid. The apertures of the chambers B, D rest over the openings of suction and delivery pipes E, C connected to a pump, and the pump being started, the liquid is circulated through the cops while the carrier is firmly held in position by the action of the pump p. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the provision of (1) an automatically reversing pump; (2) a vacuum tank connected to the duct Z and an air-pump connected to the vacuum tank, with the object of keeping, ' when the material is removed from the dyeing ' fluid, the air away from the material, until ' the material has been sufficiently oxidized by ' means of the vacuum plant; " (3) two tanks connected to the piping of the pump p. Further, it is stated that " dyed material being ' oxidized bv means of the vacuum and deprived of its water " is " thereafter washed ' in a special rinsing-apparatus." This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Colour Screens applicable for Colour Photography.
IPC: G03C7/10
Filed: 1910-02-19
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 4208. Dawson, O. S., Finlay, C. L., and Thames Colour Plate, Ltd. Feb. 19. Colour photography; screens.-Relates to the method of producing colour screens described in Specification 19,652/06, and consists in a colour screen having two or more series of curvilinear dots and a complementary interspace, each transparent and differently-coloured which can be adjusted to and used with a similar colour screen for viewing or projecting photographic impressions, and in making a parent plate from which duplicate screens are manufactured. From a " Levy " cross-line screen, by utilizing screen distance and employing a small circular stop in the camera lens, a plate is produced photographically having on one-third of its area symmetrically - arranged opaque dots, and the remaining two-thirds transparent. From this plate, treated as a negative, a positive B, Fig. 2, is now obtained, having one-third its area of transparent spots and the remainder opaque. From this positive B is photographically produced another negative having onethird opaque dots and two-thirds transparent. This second negative is again sensitized and superimposed on the plate B so that the transparent dots on plate B are symmetrically intermediate of the opaque dots on the second negative. Upon exposure and development, there results the plate D, Fig. 4, having two series, A<1> and C', of opaque dots, each of onethird the plate area, and the remaining onethird transparent. This plate is the parent plate, from which duplicate colour screens are manufactured. The parent plate is now photographed on a sensitized plate or film, thus producing an ordinary practically colourless transparent impression. This interspecial impression is dyed with one of the colours, and the support again sensitized, and superimposed on the plate B, Fig. 2, so that the transparent dots of the plate B register with one set of dots on the other plate. The sensitized support is then exposed and developed and afterwards dyed the second colour. The transparent support is again sensitized and exposed through the back and. after development, dyed the third colour. Each colour layer is protected from the action of the later colours.
