Title: Process for Dyeing Silk a Blue-black Colour after the same is Weighted.
Inventor: KNUP JACOB ALFRED
Filed: 1904-03-19
Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 6728. Knup, J. A. March 19. Dyeing.-A process for dyeing silk a blue-black colour consists in first weighting it with tin in combination with phosphoric and silicic acids, with or without other metals, then treating it with a solution of iron in crude acetic acid, called " blackiron," and finally with a solution of gambier or other tannic material, which further increases the weight, and helps to produce the blue shade of the black. The silk is boiled off, and successively treated with solutions of stannic chloride, sodium phosphate, or other alkali such as ammonia, or potassium or sodium carbonate, and sodium silicate or the alkalies mentioned before, with intermediate washings, the operations being repeated to obtain the desired weight ; or the chloride and phosphate baths may be applied alternately, and a silicate bath applied after the last chloride or phosphate bath, or the silicate bath may be dispensed with, the others being used alternately. The silk may also be treated with a solution of a metallic salt, such as zinc or aluminium sulphate, before or after each treatment with phosphate or silicate, or only after the last one. The weighting process may be stopped after treatment with any one of the above solutions, and dilute acid or alkali does not interfere with the result. The silk is now treated with black-iron, washed, and placed in a solution of gambier, or other tannic material, to which logwood extract, and fustic extract, or other vegetable yellow dye-stuff, has been added. It is again washed, and then dyed in a solution of logwood extract and soap together, the shade becoming bluer as the temperature is slowly increased. After washing, the silk is finished with a dilute solution of acid, such as lemon juice, and oil. In some of the examples given, the silk is treated with dilute acetic acid between the weighting process and the treatment with black-iron.

Granted: 1904-06-16
Abstract: 11,068. Coe, W. H. May 13. Gilding and silvering.-Gold or other metallic leaf is removed from a book and wound, with the edges lapped, within a continuous paper roll upon a perforated hollow roller, which is connected to an air exhaustion apparatus, the leaves being retained upon the paper by suction. The strip of paper G, Fig. 2, is unwound from the roll D, one side being powdered, and the other side is passed over the wax roll I and thence to the hollow roller J, Figs. 2 and 11, which is carried by the perforated shaft i, and is provided with perforations p. The book is opened and clamped upon the table M, Figs. 2 and 9, carried by the sliding bed L. The lever K, upheld by the spring i<7>, is pressed down, turning the shaft i<6> and arm i<5> to which the rack i' is secured, and also the roller J by engagement between the rack i' and pinion i<3>. By means of a pawl upon the pinion i<8> and suitable ratchet n, Fig. 11, upon the shaft i, the roller J is moved forwards a distance equal to the length of one metal sheet, less the amount of lap. The pinion i<8> on the shaft i at the same time reciprocates the bed L by means of the rack j. Turning loosely upon shafts j<5>, j<6> carried by the bed L are bell cranks j<3>, j<4>, pivoted to lugs j' on the table M, and joined by a bar j<8>. As shown in Fig. 9, which shows an underview of the bed L, a spring j<9> is secured to the bar j<8> and to a bell crank k which is provided with a projection k<1> and turns upon the shaft j<5>. The projection k<1> passes under and lifts the latch cam k<4>, Fig. 2, turning on a pivot g<5>, when the bed L moves outwards, but, on the return, the projection strikes the sloping surface k<3>, the crank k is turned, and, by means of the spring j<9>, moves the bar j<8> and cranks j<3>, j<4>, lifting the table M and book into contact with the waxed paper G. The fall of the table M, when the projection k<1> has passed the cam k<4>, is checked by a spring k<5> secured to the bar j<8> and to a pin k<6> secured to the bed L. The paper and metal leaf, after passing round the roller J, are wound upon the roll 0, which is pressed by a fixed roller N, provided with a pinion gearing through an idle wheel with the pinion m<1>, Fig. 11, and by a roller N<1> also gearing with the pinion m<1> and carried by two similar pivoted bars m<4>. The pressure of the roller N' is regulated by a weight m<8>. The covering-flap U, Figs. 2 and 11, prevents entry of air to the roller J except through the paper strip. Each leaf of the book is turned by hand after the operation of the lever K.

Title: Improved Platen Press with Oscillating Platen and Bed.
Inventor: MAUERER FRITZ
Filed: 1904-07-20
Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 16,126. Ma³rer, F., and Schneider, G. July 20. Platen presses.-The parallel printing movement used in machines where the platen alone moves is applied to presses in which both the platen and the bed are moved. The platen i, Fig. 2, on the frame z is carried by arms f loose on the shaft d. The frame h is hinged at o to the frame k, of the moving bed, which is pivotally supported on a shaft t, passing through blocks r sliding in guides in the main framework p. The frame k is rocked by rods s pivoted at u to the frame k and at b to cranks coupled to the spur-wheels c driven from the main shaft a. The press is shown in Fig. 2 in its extreme open position, and the movement of the links s tends to turn the working face of the bed k, and, through the hinge o, the platen i into a vertical position, the bed being kept from moving forward on the slides r by cams v engaging with rollers w fixed to the frame, and later on by the moving guide engaging with the fixed guide z. When the bed k has been brought into a vertical position, the guide x rests on the guide y, and is clear of the guide z, so that the bed can be pulled forward on the slides r with a parallel movement, the platen i being by that time firmly held in a vertical position by the guide 1 engaging with bearings m of the shaft o, and the stops 2 on the frame h engaging with the stops 3 on the cranks f, which are then in a horizontal position. To allow for the lateral movement of the bed towards the platen, the bearings m of the pivot shaft o work in slides l on the frame k, and are controlled by springs n, compressed by the movement of the bed. In a modification, Fig. 5, intended to obviate the lifting of the bed necessary in the previous construction, the weight of the bed is carried by rollers 5, turning on the shaft u to which the links s are also pivoted, and the slides r work in guides pivoted at 9 to brackets 8 fixed to the main frame. In addition to the guides v, x, y, z, a guide 6 fixed to the frame k and a roller 7 fixed to the bracket 4, or vice versÔ, may be used to control further the movement of the bed.
