Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Colour Screens or Plates for Photography.
Inventor: CHRISTENSEN JENS HERMAN
Filed: 1908-10-06
Granted: 1909-10-06
Abstract: 21,097. Christensen, J. H. Oct. 6. [Patent of Addition to No. 20,971, A.D. 1908.] Colour photography; screens.-In making coloured screens by the method described in Specification No. 20,971, A.D. 1908, the emulsified coloured elements are produced by emulsifying the coloured liquids in a viscous liquid such as a resin solution, in order to obtain globules of uniform size. The globules are then transferred to a volatile liquid containing a less volatile. substance. or a soluble solid substance from which they are applied to a plate, the added substance preventing amalgamation or diffusion between the coloured elements. Three dextrine solutions coloured red, green, and blue, or three different solutions (say of gum arabic, albumen, and dextrine), are separately emulsified in a viscid solution of gum dammar. The gum dammar is then gradually eliminated by repeated dilution and decantation with turpentine oil. This process is continued with benzine until the' coloured particles are obtained in the volatile.benzine solution to which the solid or other soluble substances are added. The plate to be coated is covered with a thin layer of lac, which is softened by infusion of the benzine, a coating of caoutchouc or guttapercha being preferably used. When the liquid containing the globules is poured. over the plate; the globules settle in the sticky layer in a single layer, while the remainder are washed away with benzine. The layer of lac can however be dispensed with. The coated plate is dried, covered with a coating of lac or varnish, and sensitized.

Title: Improvements in "Doffing" Mechanism for Spinning, Doubling and like Machines used in the Production of Yarns or Threads of Fibrous Substances.
Inventor: STELL ALFRED
Filed: 1908-12-14
Granted: 1909-12-14
Abstract: 27,054. Stell, A., and Stell, J. Dec. 14. Doffing-arrangements; thread-holding and threadsevering arrangements; spindle apparatus; building- motions ; lifting-rails.-Relates to doffing-apparatus for cap frames, and comprises improvements in the spindles and caps and in the means for holding the caps and bobbins, and in means for balancing and adjusting the spindle rails. The spindles are made in two interlocking-parts one of which is integral with the cap. The cap is provided with a head so shaped that the narrow opening of a holder 3 passes over the smaller diameter and then allows the holder to retain the cap by means of its larger diameter when it is released from the lower part of the spindle. The spindle rail is balanced by means of coiled springs and is adjusted by means of a rack and pinion, the operating-handle 14 being locked in a slide piece 14d which is adjustable in a fixed groove. The consequent adjustment of the lifting-rail is made by adjusting a nut 50 connected with the ordinary lifter-screw 52. The slide which' carries the cap-holder also carries a pivoted plate 28, which is arranged to take beneath the full and empty bobbins in success;ve operations. The full and empty bobbins are carried by pegs 33, 34, respectively, which are both carried by the vertically movable frame 19, the former being mounted on a pivotal shaft 31 and the latter on a slide 25. The devices for holding and severing the threads are carried by the empty bobbin peg, and are operated when the machine is ready for restarting. The thread plate 36 is then advanced so as to carry the threads beneath the notched wbarl flanges 38a, and the full bobbins are prevented from rotating by the spring piece 36<a>, so that, when the machine is started, a few turns are wrapped around the spindles and the threads are broken. The shaft 31 may be partly turned so as to incline the bobbins as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 6 to facilitate their removal. Specification No. 21,541, A.D. 1907, is referred to.

Abstract: 27,323. Baker, F. W. W., and Pearce, G. Dec. 16. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Switches; cut-outs.-A hand switch is placed in series with an electro-magnetic circuit-breaker in a circuit which it is desired to close for a short determined interval, for example in using an induction coil for radiography. The circuit-breaker being previously set closed and held by its latch, the hand switch is closed, and in closing releases a dash-pot piston, which falls and after a determined time completes a circuit through the releasing- electromagnet of the circuit-breaker. Fig. 1 shows the hand switch h which, when depressed to make contact, releases the dash-pot piston b. A rack n, indicator i, and fixed scale s are provided for adjusting to a determined time of fall. The piston travels through air, paraffin oil, or any liquid. Near the bottom of the fall, a metal plug m passes between two contact springs c and momentarily completes circuit through the trip magnet f, Fig. 2. The latch g is attracted, and the spring p carries upwards a sliding block l, to which are attached a pair of contacts t dipping into mercury cups. The mercury is covered with alcohol or paraffin oil, to produce a more efficient break. Ina a modified form of the dash-pot arrangement, the contacts c are vertically movable and are combined with an indicator and scale, the shank of the piston having only one retaining-notch. Fig. 4 shows the circuit arrangements, 3, 4 being the circuit through the hand switch and circuit-breakers, and 1, 2 the auxiliary tripping-circuit.
