Granted: 1903-03-26
Abstract: 10,690. Clarke, E. R. May 9. Producing coloured photographs,. photo-mechanical printing.-Relates to a three-colour process in which all the three colour groups are first printed on one negative, one or more coloured groups being then printed on separate plates by means of masks produced photographically. In the diaphragm of the camera lens are three apertures, each of which is covered by a coloured screen representing one of the three primary colours. In front of the sensitive plate is placed a screen with fine apertures, each of which throws an image of the diaphragm apertures on the plate. The image on the plate is thus made up of three groups of dots representing the three primary colours. A mask is then made by placing another plate in the camera and exposing through one of the diaphragm apertures. From this negative a positive is printed, and, before development, a printing from a threecolour negative is superimposed. When developed, a positive representing one colour only is obtained. Other methods of obtaining single-colour images are indicated. Printing surfaces for photo-mechanical printing may be obtained in this way ; or colour photographs may be produced by superimposed coloured films.

Title: A New or Improved Apparatus for Placing Fog Detonators on Railway Lines and the like.
Inventor: GALLON JAMES
Filed: 1903-03-16
Granted: 1904-03-16
Abstract: 6043. Gallon, J. March 16. Fog signals; signalling to cabins; repeaters, signal; contacts, mechanical.-Motion of a semaphore signal to "danger" places a contact-bar in position to be struck by the train, whereby a fog signal is taken from a receptacle and placed on the line in advance of the train. The full lines of Fig. 4 represent the " danger" position of a bar 13, moved by wires from the signal post, and of bellcrank levers 12, by which the sliding rods 11 have been pulled outwards to place the contact-bar 7 parallel with the rail R, as shown. As the wheel flanges depress the bar it moves downwards and forwards, being carried by links 8, which are loose upon the rods 6<1> and keyedto the shaft 6, and, in consequence, through the bevel sector 5, which is now in gear with the wheel 4, the arm 15 is swung round under the guard 21 so as to place the detonator 17 on the rail, pressing on the electric push 27 as it does so and completing a circuit containing a battery and bell in a signal-cabin. A weight 9 on an arm keyed to the shaft 6 is used to restore the parts to " line-clear," and, as the shaft 6 slides towards the rail, a web 26 thereon enters a slot in and locks the shaft 2 of the arm 15. The detonators have tails at opposite ends of a diameter which engage in grooves in the containing- cylinder 16, Fig. 1, and provide means for holding the detonator in the spring jaw of the arm, a projection upon which reciprocates the sliding- piece 18 provided with a bevelled end to feed down one signal at a time to the arm. The position of the indicator 23, which is attached to a dummy signal 24 resting upon all the others and falling with them, shows the number remaining, and, when all are gone, it depresses the push 28, thereby ringing an electric bell in the cabin. The arm may also be operated by a chain-wheel 3 on the spindle 2.

Filed: 1903-07-13
Granted: 1904-02-18
Abstract: 15,488. Barnes, A. July 13. Couplings, non-automatic, for coupling railway and other vehicles. As applied to a railway wagon, a pivoted rod D, when partially rotated by a handle E, through a telescopic carrying-device G and weighted levers 8, raises the first coupling- link K ready for engagement with an adjacent draw-hook. To a set-back portion F of the rod is fixed the middle member of a U-frame G, carrying staples, through which slides an inner U-frame J, having studs engaging grooves or slots in the outer frame, and carrying pins passing into the link K. Angle-plates Q, to which are pivoted pairs of links R carrying the levers S, are also secured to the rod D. On partially rotating the handles, the angle-plates are swung round sufficiently to cause the weights of the rods S to pass their dead centre, so that they fall, and, being pivoted to a curved bridge-piece P of the inner frame, they force this frame to protrude from the outer frame, holding the link K ready for coupling. The coupling can be released by the levers S, with or without the aid of the handles E. The links R may be replaced by a bent plate, while, in lieu of the frame G, two arms may be bolted to the rod D. Eyelets for the pins of the frame J may be not quite closed, so that, should the coupling break, the pins will force their way out and prevent damage to the rest of the apparatus; or the pins may be made so as to give way under considerable strain. As shown, the pins are carried on clips fastened to the frame. Lugs W prevent backward swinging of the links C carrying the rods D.

Granted: 1903-08-27
Abstract: 16,107. Lakos, L. July 21. Vans with cooking-apparatus.-Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal vertical section of the portable field bakery. The longitudinal baking-conduits 3, having doors 4 at the rear, are arranged in pairs above a furnace 2 built in the vehicle 1, the casing of which is a bad conductor of heat. A chamotte wall 5, consisting of transverse plates arranged side by side, is fitted between the furnace and the lowest pair of conduits to prevent them from being overheated. An iron pipe 6 passing through each plate prevents the plates from buckling. The second row of conduits extends right up to the front wall 9 of the vehicle, but a space or chamber 10 is left at the ends of the first and third rows ; the gases from the furnace are thus made to traverse a circuitous path before reaching the chimney 17, which is hinged so that it may be lowered when desired. Side openings 12 are arranged in the wall 5, and openings 14 in the plates 13, while a perforated plate 15 prevents the gases from passing directly from the rear end of the top conduit to the chimney. In order to increase the draught, the second row of conduits communicate with the flues 16 leading to the chimney. Each conduit is coated internally with a bad conductor of heat. Removable brackets at the sides of the vehicle are provided for holding the prepared dough and the baked articles, and, together with the bread boards, are packed into a box 20 underneath the vehicle. A water tank is fitted between the wall 9 and the driver's seat, and the box forming the driver's seat is divided into compartments which are lined with zinc and serve as flour bins.
