Abstract: 12,980. Huffman, L. June 2. Feeding and registering webs. - Registering- devices are used for a web in an all-size rotary machine in which the web is driven at the same uniform speed for each set of impressions, and during the printing operation the printing-cylinder is driven at the same speed as the web, but during the part of the rotation at which the web is not acted on by the printing-cylinder, the cylinder is driven at an accelerated or retarded speed so as to cause the length of the intervals between each set of impressions to be equal to the length of the impressions. As shown, two printing couples, 2, 4, 3, 5, Fig. 4, are fitted with plates 2<1>, 3<1> equal to three-eighths of the circumference of the cylinders, and these print on a constantly-driven web 12 fed by rollers 9, 11 driven from the driving shaft 6, the web passing over rolls 56 carried by a frame 13, which is adjustably held on racks 57 to enable a correct register to be preserved when the plates 2<1>, 3<1> are altered.
Patent GB-190916828-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Air Brake Testing Apparatus.
Inventor: DUKESMITH FRANK HUTCHINSON
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 1909-07-19
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 16,828. Dukesmith, F. H. July 19. Brake signals.- In a valve device operated by means of an excess pressure admitted to the train-pipe by t h e engineer for testing and indicating the condition of the train - pipe to ensure that all the angle-cocks on the train are opened, the signal is placed at the rear end of the train and means are provided for silencing the signal after it has been actuated. The device is connected by the couplings 23, 24 to the rear end of the signalpipe 31 and trainpipe 28 respectively. A diaphragm 6, subjected to train-pipe pressure on one side and on the other side to the pressure of an adjustable spring 4, carries a valve 7 closing the port connecting the chambers A, B. The chamber B is in communication with a chamber C in which is mounted a diaphragm 15 secured to a spindle 15‹. A valve 16 is loosely mounted on the upper end of the spindle 15<C> and is held on its seat by a spring 18, thereby closing the opening from the chamber C to the exhaust ports 10<A>. The lower end of the spindle carries a valve 20, which is pressed on its seat by a spring 19 and closes communication between the signal pipe connexion 23 and a whistle 14. When an excess pressure is admitted to the train-pipe by the engineer the diaphragm 6 is raised against the action of the spring 4 and opens the valve 7 admitting air from the train-pipe to the chamber C. The diaphragm 15 is then depressed and the valve 20 is opened to admit air from the signalpipe 31 to the whistle 14. The reduction of pressure in the signal-pipe causes a signal to be operated in the engineer's cab. A stop 17 fixed to the upper end of the diaphragm spindle opens the exhaust valve 16 so that the pressure in the chamber C is reduced allowing the valve 20 to close. The closing of the valve is also assisted by air from the signal-pipe passing through a groove 34 in the spindle 15<C> into the diaphragm chamber D. Leakage ports 32, 33 exhaust the chambers C, D after a test has been made. The train-pipe 28 is also provided with a three-way cock 26 which may be operated manually to sound a whistle 27, or to vent the train-pipe through the port 26B to apply the brakes.

Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 23,786. Fowler, P. Oct. 18. Breasting.-Heels, with or without top-lifts, contained in a vertical hopper 1, are pushed one at a time below a breasting-knife 2 by a rod 3 adjustably clamped on a slide 4, which is reciprocated through a yielding connexion by a cam on a shaft 11<a>. The extent of forward travel of each heel is controlled by a stop 36 mounted on a slide 37, which is moved in one direction by contact between a wedge 38 and a roll 39 vertically adjustable on the knife-carrier 22, and in the other direction by a spring 40. The knife 2 is mounted on a plate 21, which slides in guides on the plate 22, itself sliding in guides on a bracket 23 on the machine frame. The plate 22 is provided with lugs to which rods 25 are attached, the rods 25 being connected to a cam on the shaft 11<a>. A screw 31 adjusts the position of the knife-plate 21 relatively to the plate 22. The knife, after being depressed by the action of the cam, is raised by springs until it comes into contact with the ends of screws 34. A piece of leather, lead, &c. is inserted in the table 15 below the knife.

Abstract: 24,817. Cossor, F., and Guy, F. B. Oct. 28. Recording by co-ordinates.-The variation of the vacuum in steam condensers and turbines is recorded by means of a mercurial gauge. A wide overflow chamber a is connected to a column A of mercury, of sufficient length only to contain the levels which occur during service conditions; and a constriction l in the connecting-tube prevents injury to the short tube on a sudden rise to atmospheric pressure. A series of contacts c, d<1>, d<1> ... are detachably connected to electro-magnets, the connexions of which are arranged as shown so as to bring the armatures successively into or out of action, the armatures being connected as shown to recording arms F<1>, F2, F' which trace on a clockdriven drum G lines which show the duration of the different degrees of vacuum attained. Detachable connexions are employed with extra contacts in the mercury tube, so as to enable different ranges of vacuum to be recorded as desired. The overflow chamber a is connected with the chamber to be tested.

Abstract: 5808. Kalle & Co. March 19, 1909, [Convention date]. Indigoid dyes.-Vat dyes are obtained by brominating the indigoid dyes produced by condensing an alpha-isatin derivative with oxy derivatives of cyclic hydrocarbons such as benzene or naphthalene. The bromination may be effected with bromine alone, or in the presence of neutral diluents or sulphuric or chlorsulphonic acids. According to examples, the dyes obtained from (1) alpha-isatinanilide and 1 : 4-dioxynaphthalene monomethylether, and (2) dibrom-alpha-isatin chloride and alpha-naphthol, are brominated in the presence of sulphuric acid. The products give blue shades on cotton. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), covers the bromination of indigoid dyes obtained by condensing alpha-isatin derivatives with aromatic compounds in general which contain a CH2-CO, or CH=COH group ; it describes also the production of brominated dyes by condensing brominated alphaisatin derivatives with phenols, naphthols, or their halogenated substitution products. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
