Abstract: 24,576. Wallwork, R. Nov. 22. Printing fabrics.-Relates to apparatus of the the kind described in Specification No. 15,185, A.D. 1892, for stamping or printing marks upon textile materials. The goods to be printed are placed upon the vertically-adjustable table a, and are printed upon by blocks carried by a transverse beam b which is actuated in the way described in Specification No. 15,185, A.D. 1892. The trays c<3> for the colour pads are secured to a table or frame c, which is adjustable by means of screws c<1> and hand-wheels c', as described in the said Specification. The trays may be divided into sections, for different colours, by division plates. Colour is supplied to each section or pad by hand, instead of by means of a brush as described in Specification No. 15,185, A.D. 1892. The pads may be formed of india-rubber when zinco stamps are used, and of rubber, covered loosely with felt, when copper-faced stamps are employed. These loose felt covers may be attached to one end of the tray by means of hooks, and be adjustably secured to the opposite end by means of screws. The colours are distributed upon the pads by plates e, which are provided with weights e<1> and flexible rubbing-edges, and are fitted so as to slide vertically between two transverse bars d, connected by rods d<2> to the bar b. Upon the ends of the bars d are pulleys d' which rest upon slides d<3> formed near their ends with recesses d<4> adapted to receive the pulleys ; the slides d<3> are free to move along bars c<7> until brought to rest by stops c<8>. Assuming that the bars d, in Fig. 2, move towards the left hand, then, owing to the pulleys d' resting in the right-hand recesses d<4>, the slides d<3> will move towards the left-hand stop c<8>. During this movement ridges of colour will accumulate in front of the plates e until the slides are brought to rest by the stops c<8>, when the pulleys will roll over the central parts of the slides and so lift the plates over the ridges of colour, which will be distributed over the pads during the return stroke of the bars d. Cams or other means may be used for lifting the plates. In a modified arrangement, the plates e are attached adjustably to plates which are secured by means of dovetailed connections to a weighted bar which takes the place of the two bars d in Fig. 2. The rubbing-edges of the plates e may be formed of rubber, felt, metal, or bristles.
