Patent GB-190523990-A (GB)
Title: Improvement in Photomechanical Printing.
Inventor: RECKARD HENRY LEWIS
Filed: 1905-11-21
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 23,990. Reckard, H. L. Nov. 23, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Printing-surfaces; printing in several colours.- Relates to a photo-mechanical printing-process for printing designs and the like in colours. The process for preparing two printing metal plates or rollers comprises the following steps, namely, making two counterpart sheets, each of which is partly transparent and partly opaque ; making two counterpart developed gelatin plates 2, 6 ; inking these and transferring ink from the depressed surfaces to two rollers ; etching away the naked surfaces of these rollers or plates, and inking them for printing in different colours. In practice, duplicate gelatin sheets 7, 4, prepared with a screen, are combined with the plates 2, 6 to get the printing-surfaces. A reversed letter or design 1 is printed upon a celluloid surface, prepared first with a glycerine solution and sensitized with a bichromate emulsion, and the support of which is uniformly grained by sand blast and backed by a rigid steel plate. The plate when developed is treated with chrome-alum, to prevent the relief from receding to the original level when dried, and yields the relief design 2. A similar relief plate 4 is prepared by combining a ruled screen with the negative. The plate 2 is treated with a glycerine solution and inked, the ink being repelled from the relief parts and only taken by the hardened gelatin. A print is made upon a plane transparent surface, and, from this print, a negative plate 6 is printed and developed. A similar negative 7 is prepared, using the ruled screen. The first copper roller 9 is prepared from the negatives 2, 7 by treating the negative 2 with the glycerine solution, inking it, and rolling it in contact with a finely roughened copper roller under sufficient pressure to transfer ink from the depressed parts of the negative. The ink is changed into enamel by an enamelling-powder of resin, shellac, and alcohol, and by heating. The naked letter on the roller is ruled by glycerining and inking the negative 7, printing in register, enamelling, and heating in the same way. The roller is etched, and the enamel then removed by turpentine. A second copper roller 11 is prepared in the same way, using the negatives 4, 6. The rollers are coloured by applying the colours to the whole periphery, and scraping away the surplus ink from their plane surfaces. The combined impressions from the two rollers 9, 11 give the original design 13 with the letter in one colour on a background of another colour. Either a cross or a ruled screen may be used for the negatives 7, 4, and irregular cracks, regularly distributed, may be produced in the background of the plates by including calcium chloride in the emulsion. The same method is also used for preparing relief copper rollers, excepting that the negative plates 4, 7 are not employed.

Abstract: 13,199. Justice, P. M., [Veeder Manufacturing Co.]. June 7. Speed indicators. -Retates to apparatus of the fluid type described in Specification No. 3566, A.D. 1903, the chief object being to balance the fluid pressure on the pump. This is effected (1) by providing a fluid inlet on each side of the paddle, and (2) by placing a number of radial outlet passages round the periphery of the pump. The paddle g, Figs. 2 and 3, is housed in the circular flange e<6> of the plate e<5>, this flange fitting on to the plate e<2>, and thus completing the paddle chamber. On either side of this chamber are fluid chambers e<1> formed between the plates e<2>, e<5> and the outer casing e. Round the Range e<6> are a number of passages e<7> registering with corresponding passages e<1> in the plate e<2>, thus establishing communication between the chambers e<1>. At the centres of the plates e<2>, e<5> are fluid inlets e<3>, e<8>. Thus the pressure, acting on the pump from both sides, is balanced, and more reliable indications may be obtained than otherwise. The passage l which connects the indicating-tube a with the pump, instead of directing entering the paddle chamber, enters the annular chamber l<4> round the outside of the flange e<6>. Connexion is made between the chamber l<4> and the paddle chamber by a number of radial passages e<9> passing through the flange e<6> between the passages e<7>. The chambers e<1> are fed from the reservoir c through the passage j, fitted with a regulating-chamber i.

Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 16,308. Crocker, S. H. July 19. Impact-wheels.-A liquid-forcing apparatus, actuated by elastic fluid under pressure, such as steam, is combined by an impact-wheel. A casing A contains an impact-wheel F and a rotary liquid-forcing apparatus B, the latter being immersed in molten wax. The liquid-forcing apparatus consists of a hub carrying radial partitions b<1> enclosed between two circular disks. The chambers thus formed are open at their outer ends and are provided with ports b<2> at ther inner ends. The wheel closely fits a fixed saddle E and is revolubly mounted upon a fixed hollow hub C in which is a port c, communicating with each of the chambers in the wheel in succession as the wheel rotates. A port D in the saddle E communicates with a nozzle d' by way of a passaged. Steam enters the hub C, passes into the chamber beneath, and forces the molten wax therein through the port D, causing a flow through the jet d<1>, thereby actuating the impact-wheel F. Owing to the buoyancy of the steam the distributing-wheel continuously rotates. As each chamber comes up the steam inside escapes, and molten wax takes its place. A port is provided in the upper part of the casing for the escape of the exhaust steam. The molten wax, after infringing on the wheel buckets, falls back into the lower chamber. The casing is lined with cork to prevent loss of heat. The casing may be steam - jacketed for the purpose of initially heating the wax.
