Granted: 1898-06-04
Abstract: 16,327. B³hler, E. July 10. Printing; Lamps, actinic. Relates to a printing - apparatus in which the lamp is shut off from the printing- frame at definite intervals. The timing-device consists of a cylindrical casing having a spiral passage R, Fig. 3, down which a ball is allowed to run until it falls out at the bottom into a net P on the end of a lever O. The descent of the net P with the ball closes a flap D and shuts off the light of the lamp L from the printing- frame C. The ball can be inserted at any required height into the passage R, and the operator can thereby regulate the time of exposure. The spring backing of the printing-frame is shown folded back for the insertion of the negative and the printing-paper. The passage of the heat from the burner of the lamp to the oil reservoir V is prevented by an annular reservoir u in which cold water from the cistern S circulates.

Abstract: 3447. Reynolds, W., and Astley, L. G. Feb. 11. Lighting buildings &c., systems of; oil lamps, oil supply to.-To supply a number of burners on the same level, a main oil tank or reservoir A is preferably arranged above a secondary tank or reservoir B, with which it communicates by an oil pipe J and an air pipe I of the relative dimensions shown in the Figure. A tube K surrounding the lower ends of the pipes I, J is fitted at its lower end with a seating for a valve L, which is pivoted at N, and is connected at M with the lever H of the cock C by means of a spring F, a bellcrank lever D, and chains G. Upon opening the cock C to charge the tank A, the movements of the lever H and the connections G, D, F close the valve L and prevent the oil from flowing into the tank B. Similarly, upon closing the cock C the valve L opens and oil flows into the tank B, until it covers the lower end of the air pipe I. The entrance of oil to the tank A, and the consequent flow of oil therefrom, then cease, until the oil level falls and uncovers the lower end of the air pipe. The tank B is connected to the burners by the pipe 0, and an overflow pipe W is provided. When several apparatus are arranged on different levels, they may be connected by a common supply pipe with the main or uppermost oil tank.

Abstract: 13,725. Toifel, W. F. June 20. Printing fabrics; printing paperhangings; stencilling-apparatus.-Designs are produced upon paper (paperhangings), woven fabrics, and the like, by means of stencil printing- apparatus, one form of which is shown in Fig. 1. An endless stencil sheet h is secured at its edges by rubber bands to two parallel discs b carried by a shaft c. The stencil rests upon small rollers d carried by a central stationary cylinder e. The material s to be printed is carried by an endless band g, passing over rollers f, and the stencil is forced against the material by a roller i. Colour is transferred to the stencil by an endless band k, which passes beneath the roller i, and is supplied with colour from the colour trough l, by means of the roller m. The rollers f and discs b are geared together so that they rotate with the same linear velocity. In a modified form of single-colour machine, the material to be printed travels over a flat table situated beneath a roller corresponding with the roller i, Fig. 1. In a second modification, the stencil sheet passes over two superposed rollers, the upper of which has guiding-pins for the stencil sheet, and the lower is covered with a thick layer of india-rubber. A machine for printing in several colours has the impression rollers and main guide-rollers respectively mounted upon concentric rings, and alternating with the several printing-machines are drying-chambers over which the fabric &c. travels.
