Title: Producing Cinematographic Effects in Colour.
Inventor: MILLS THOMAS ALBERT
IPC: G03C7/22
Filed: 1911-12-13
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 28,081. Mills, T. A. Dec. 13. [Cognate Application, 106/12.] Kinematograph apparatus; optical-projection apparatus.-A colour film in which each picture is a complete colour record is obtained from a negative film taken through two or more recurring colour filters. For two-colour pictures blue and orange filters are used, a positive is printed and each positive picture is toned in a colour complementary to the filter through which it was taken. The film is next resensitized on the back, after suitably protecting the already printed picture, and a second print is made with the negative shifted through the space of one picture. This second set of pictures is likewise toned in complementary colours. The compound film thus produced is fed at the ordinary rate. If three colours are used, three recurring blue-violet, green, and red taking-filters are used, and the corresponding prints are toned in the complementary colours, a second re-sensitizing being necessary for the third printing with the negative shifted either one space back or two forward. A black and white key print may be combined in the compound film. In a modification, all the images of the same colour are obtained in one coating. In printing, the shutter of the printer is replaced by one which gives one exposure in two or three units of action of the machine. After one printing, the necessary shift is made, and the printing is resumed. In another modification, the re-sensitizing and subsequent printing are done over the first print. The positive film produced is always of the same length as the negative film employed. The screen on which the pictures are projected may be coloured either by a projected light or by direct tinting.

Abstract: 2643. Smethurst, H. Feb. 1. Indicating-apparatus. - A device for setting the brackets that carry the stripping and burnishing brushes and grinding-rollers of cotton and like carding-engines comprises a shaft a and a member c having an eye embracing the shaft and a screwed extension d carrying a nut e. The nut has a peripheral scale g, which is used in conjunction with a scale h upon the member c and shows the distance between the extremity of the nut e and the axis of the shaft a, or the diameter of a brush or roller having that distance for its radius. The scale g is set to indicate the diameter of the roller to be used, less twice the amount which is to be ground off the card flats &c. or, in the case of a brush, less twice the amount the needle points are to enter the card clothing on the cylinder or doffer, and the shaft a is inserted in the usual brackets b.

Title: A Typewriter wherein the Typebars are Silently Moved by Means of Compressed Air.
Inventor: SCHIEPE AUGUST
IPC: B41J23/24
Filed: 1912-02-20
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 4280. Schiepe, A. Feb. 20. Pneumatic type-bar actions. - In pneumatically-operated machines, the keys 1 operate pistons 3 sliding in cylinders 2, and the air thus compressed forces out pistons 5 sliding in cylinders 4 and connected by rods 6 to the type-blocks 7. A type-block. when thus moved forwards, enters a guide-rail 8, the advance of the type-block being checked by a spring 16. When the key is released, a spring 13 raises the piston 3 and causes the retraction of the type-block. Springs 14, 17 cushion the return movements of the pistons 3, 5 respectively. In a modification, the keys are mounted on the upper ends of tubes which replace the pistons 3. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following subject-matter which does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Types; case-shift mechanism.-Each typeblock is pivoted to its rod 6 so as to permit of movement in an horizontal plane whereby the type-block may be adjusted exactly radially to the platen. Shift-keys adjust the position of the rail 8 to enable any one of a number of types on a block to be brought into use. The type-blocks may be of segmental form and connected to their rods by a double hinge to permit of both horizontal and vertical movement. The type-blocks then rest on a table which can be raised by a key-lever to bring different types into use. Type-bar actions-In the form shown in Fig. 3 (cancelled) the key-levers 36 operate levers 38 which are connected to sliding typebars 40 by springs 43, 44. The movements of the type-bar are cushioned by springs 45, 47. Instead of springs, shock-absorbing devices of leather, rubber, cardboard, &c., or air cushions may be employed. Platen-impression arrangement.-The platen 9, Fig. 1, is raised by levers 11, 12, operated by a frame which is depressed by the keys. Paper-supports.-The platen may be in the form of an endless band passing around two rollers and tightened by a lever and a screw. or it may be a flat or segmental surface having an insertion of resilient material. The segmental platen is yieldingly held in position by a spring.

Abstract: 26,731. Schoenfeld, M. Nov. 21. Cutting-out embroidery.-Relates to means for feeding the embroidered fabric, stretching it in the direction of feed, and preventing its lateral movement. The invention is shown as applied to a machine of the kind described in Specification 26,523/12, in which the fabric is cut by a rotary knife 7 adjacent to a slot 17 formed by a guiding member 16 and the raised bevelled rim 13 of an adjustable bed 10. The fabric passes between feed-rolls 29, 30 to an endless feed-belt 34, which moves faster than the feedrolls 29, 30 and thus stretches the fabric. The belt 34 carries the fabric past the cutting-point, and has a number of elements for frictionally engaging the fabric to prevent lateral movement. These elements preferably consist of lateral wires 38, having their ends bent round the edges of the belt, and having teeth 40, Fig. 6, inclined away from the cutting-point. The fabric is pressed on the belt by shoes 50, preferably carried by an arm 43 on the member 5 which supports the knife. The shoes 50 are pressed downwards by a spring 47, Fig. 3, and are provided with springs 53 to enable them to vield independently. The shoes may be lifted by means of a lever 55 when inserting the fabric.

Abstract: 28,814. Chevance, L. Dec. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Rotary cylindrical valves; toothed gears.-A distributing-valve for four-stroke-cycle internalcombustion engines is in the form of a hollow rotary cylinder A, Figs. 3 and 4, divided into two passages serving for admission and exhaust by a helical partition D, and provided with helical admission and exhaust ports B<1>, B<2>, and with helical packing-ribs E on its surface. The cylinder ports L, K, Fig. 4, are connected by passages with openings in the valve chamber of a corresponding shape to the ports B', B<2>. The valve is driven from the crank-shaft by means of an inclined shaft Q, Figs. 1 and 3, having a pinion R meshing with a worm-wheel S mounted on the crank-shaft, the valve-spindle G being connected to the inclined shaft Q by a cardan joint H so as to give a non-uniform motion to the valve. The valve is mounted on its spindle in such a position that the periods of retardation of the movement correspond with the opening of the ports and the periods of acceleration with the closing of the ports. A cover N giving access to the valve is formed with a long sleeve M, which protects the valve from the exhaust. The lower end of the valve is provided with helical webs I to assist the suction and mixture of the charge, and the ribs E act as a screw to supply lubricant along the whole length of the valve. The valve may be used for one, two or four cylinders, and may be arranged at rightangles to the axes of the cylinders. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an arrangement in which the valve is used for admission or exhaust only, and the application of the valve to steam-engines and other motors. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
