Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 18,532. Boult, A. J., [Fairchild, D., and Haxby, R. V.]. Aug 12. Thermometers. - Relates to a thermostatic device for compensating for the effect of variations of temperature on spring balances and other instruments, or for effecting movements of parts for indicating variations in temperature, as for instance in metallic thermometers. As applied to a spring balance, the device consists of a straight bar E clamped at the ends to a bimetallic arc K, which varies the tension in the bar E with the variations in temperature. The device is supported by the usual weighing- springs C. The load hook F is attached to the bar E and connected by a rod H and racks I with the indicating-drum. The deflexion of the bar E influenced by the arc K compensates for the variation of the springs C due to change of temperature.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Photographic Processes for Producing Designs on Printing Surfaces.
Inventor: PILKINGTON HERBERT MORRIS
IPC: G03F7/22
Filed: 1913-03-20
Granted: 1914-03-20
Abstract: 6943. Pilkington, H. M. March 20. Enlarging, copying, and reducing.-Relates to the production of designs on printing-surfaces in the form of plates or cylinders from a unit or original made by hand, and to means for accurately filling the periphery of a cylindrical roller with the design The unit or original, Fig. 1, is built up within base lines B<1> determined by corner marks such as B. In the case of a section of a pattern, the base lines B' are arranged relatively to the pattern so that contiguous repeats form an unbroken pattern. In other cases, as shown in Fig. 2, the base lines C<1> may leave a border D round the design D<1>. Where the contiguity of the repeats is not necessary, larger marks such as E<2> may be used outside the unit, as shown in Fig. 5. The terminal marks B, C are such as to be only very faintly visible on the photographic copy. A small transparency is made of the original and is copied by apparatus such as described in Specification 13,517/11. The copy of the transparency is replaced in the image plane, and the stepping-mechanism of the apparatus is then adjusted by trial to determine the correct shift necessary to obtain the contiguous positions of the unit on the image plate. If the area of the printing-surface is a large one, a large transparency containing several repeats may be made from the unit transparency and this large transparency repeated by hand on the printing-surface. For a printing- surface of smaller area, the unit may be repeated direct on to the printing-surface, or if sufficient a single large impression may be taken on the printing-surface. In order to exactly fill the periphery of a printing-roller, additional " matching " marks E are utilized which are transparent and are situated in the opaque boundary of the unit. These are printed so as to appear at the ends of the first and last rows of the repeats, which are calculated to fill the roller as shown in Fig. 4. The marks on the original can be masked by fingers F<1>, F<1x>, Fig. 3, mounted on the frame F carrying the unit transparency so as to be reproduced at will. In transferring the repeat design to the roller, a machine as described in Specification 30,002/10, [Class 100 (ii), Printing processes &c.], is used, which provides means for accurately joining the boundary lines of the design. In testing the transfer, the matching marks E only are transferred and the transfer machine adjusted so that the upper pair of matching marks in Fig. 4 is accurately superposed on the lower pair.

Abstract: 9428. Foster, J. G., Forshaw, J., [Representatives of Foster, J., and Foster, J. Y.], and George, A. J. W. April 22. Inking-apparatus. - Mechanism for effecting an intermittent positive rotation of the duct roll and for regulating the dwell of the messenger roll on the duct roll while the machine is running comprises a mutilated worm-wheel D fixed on the duct roll shaft and driven by a worm C, bevel-gear B, and spur gear from a shaft W, a crank N on which reciprocates a bar carrying a fixed cam block M and a threaded cam block O adjustable by a screwed spindle P while the machine is in motion. The messenger roll T is carried by a pivoted three-armed lever one arm of which carries a bowl R in the path of the arm O. The ductor roll comes to rest when a mutilated part of the wheel D comes opposite to the worm, and remains at rest until the movement of the slider bar causes the cam M to actuate a lever K, link J, and bell-crank carrying a pawl G so as to advance the worm-wheel sufficiently to gear with the worm again, the cam O subsequently allowing the messenger roll to move from contact with the distributing-roll into contact with the duct roll.

Ventilators, terminal.-A ventilator for railway and other vehicles comprises louvers l pivoted horizontally one behind the other and protected from wind by a cover p, which may project below the level of the lower edge of the louvers when opened. The louvers are connected with a hit-and-miss valve d, as shown in Fig. 2, or with a pivoted valve z as shown in Fig. 7, so as to be operated with it. The hit-and-miss valve comprises a slide d having slots which are situated on each side of slots in a casing c when the slide is in the central closed position. The slide carries pins k engaging slotted arms o on the ends of the louver pivots m, and is operated by a handle h pivoted at its upper end. The handle h may be moved in either direction so as to open the valve d and incline the louvers in the desired direction, and may have spring ball-catches h<1> engaging in recesses to secure the louvers &c. in either extreme or intermediate positions. To reduce friction, soft wires may surround the openings in the casing c, and the slide may be pressed on to them by springs. When a pivoted valve z is used, one of the louver spindles m projects within the vehicle and carries a handle h and lateral projections 3, either of which engages and lifts a corresponding projection 5 on the valve as the handle is turned in one direction or the other. The valve z is closed by a spring 1. The louvers have arms v carrying pins w projecting through holes in a rod x, and thus move together. Springs may be inserted where desired to prevent rattling of parts.
