Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Photoprinting Blocks.
Filed: 1905-12-29
Granted: 1906-12-29
Abstract: 27,158. Lake, H. H., [Klimsch & Co.]. Dec. 29. Etching.-The grain for a photo-printing block is produced by volatilizing a solution of resins, balsams, oils, or the like upon an exposed plate sensitized with chrome-alum &c. The resin precipitates into single points and dots corresponding in size and disposition to the tints and designs of the picture. Immediately after the grain is produced, the plate may be etched by dilute nitric acid or otherwise, and gummed and treated in the usual manner. Or, instead, the chromatic salts may first of all be washed out of the coating. The grain is varied by adding to the solution other ingredients such as resins, calcium chloride, turpentine, or other alkalies. Even flooding of the plate is effected by means of a whirler. The evaporation should take place under constant conditions of heat and moisture of the plate, the solution, and the workroom. As dampness to saturation point is not advisabie, the plate and its support are previously heated to exceed slightly the temperature of the room, the resin solution being alone heated to the same temperature.

Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: FELL JOHN CORRY
Filed: 1906-10-17
Granted: 1907-10-17
Abstract: 23,007. Fell, J. C., [Monarch Typewriter Co.]. Oct. 17. Typewriters.-Means are provided for automatically locking together the carriage feed rack and pinion or other separable feed d members against accidental separation, more especially during back-spacing. In the Monarch machine shown in Fig. 2, the rack 30 meshes with the pinion 31, and is carried on pivoted arms 26 connected with the release keys 29. The back-spacing device is shown in Figs. 2 and 8. The escapement wheel 35 is connected with the shaft 32 of the pinion 31 by a pawl 43 and ratchet-wheel 39 to allow of relative turning movement. The pawl 43 is pivoted on a housing 40, surrounding the ratchet-wheel 39 and secured to the shaft 32 by set-screws 42. This housing 40 is preferably formed with teeth 47 to serve as the back-spacing wheel. The back-spacing pawl 67 is pivoted on a lever 69 operated by a key 82 and a returning-spring 83, a stop 77 on the lever 69 bearing normally under the top plate 3. A spring normally holds a tail of the pawl 67 against the top plate 3, so that during the first part of the movement of the lever 69, the pawl 67 is swung over into engagement with the back-spacing wheel. The back stop 55 of the spring dog 48 limits the reverse movement of the escapement wheel 35 during back - spacing. The means for locking together the rack 30 and pinion 31 comprises two co-operating members 84, 96, Figs. 2,4, and 5. The member 84 is a lever pivoted at 90 on the lower track-way 21 and formed with an arm terminating in a hook 88 lying over, but just out of contact with, the top edge of the rack 30. The lever 84 is held with a stop-piece 89 in contact with the top plate 3, either by gravity or by means of a flat spring 93. A very slight upward movement of the rack 30 suffices to bring-the rack into contact with the hook 88, and any further upward movement of the rack will be against the action of the spring 93. The member 96 is a latch for preventing other than a very slight upward movement of the member 84, and is normally inoperative, but is swung into operative position when back-spacing. The latch 96 is pivoted on a post .94 on the top plate 3 and is retained in inoperative position, with a stop lug 99 against the comb-plate of the tabulating-mechanism, by means of an adjustable spring 100. The forward arm 97 of the latch is advanced'over a stop ledge 91 on the member 84 by means of a cam-face 76 on the pawl 67.

Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 6105. Imray, O., [Society of Chemical Industry in Basle]. March 13. Dyes, artificial.-Mono- and di-brom derivatives of indigo are prepared by heating indigo, dissolved or suspended in nitrobenzene, with the theoretical quantity of bromine. For example, to prepare monobromindigo, one molecular proportion of indigo is heated with two atomic proportions of bromine, in presence of nitrobenzene. When the reaction is completed, the compound is obtained by filtering and washing as a blue crystalline powder of satisfactory purity. In preparing dibromindigo, four atomic proportions of bromine are used, the process otherwise being as above described. The products thus obtained differ slightly in their properties from the mono- and di-brom derivatives of indigo known commercially as indigo-R and indigo-RR respectively. Specification No. 5122, A.D. 1907, is referred to.
