Patent GB-190912302-A (GB)
Title: Photographic Process for the Reproduction of Plastic Subjects.
Inventor: BAESE CARLO
IPC: G03F7/00
Filed: 1909-05-25
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 12,302. Baese, C. Aug. 22, 1908, [Convention date]. Relief effects, producing. - Relates to an improvement in the method described in Specification 5381/02 for obtaining negatives having a transparency directly or inversely proportional to the heights of the different planes of a model to be reproduced in relief by printing the negative on to a gelatine, agaragar, or like layer senitized with chromium salts, which layers loose the capacity of swelling in water in proportion to the exposure. In the present method the model is illuminated with graded light from two directions, not both at rightangles to the axis of the objective, but forming between each other preferably a small angle so as to illuminate every point of the model with at least two rays coming from different directions and in such a manner that the resulting illumination of the model in different planes is proportional to the distance along the optical axis of the camera. Fig. 2 illustrates the method of illumination. The intensity of the light is regulated by a light-filter of variable transparency. Alternatively, the time of exposure may be made variable by movable shutters shifted across the beams of light. The resulting illumination at the different points of the model is equal to the sum of the intensities of the two rays illuminating that point as illustrated in the figure. A negative taken in this way thus gives the greatest opacity for the furthest points, and the greatest transparency for the nearest points, and a relief print from this is graduated in thickness according to the actual relief of the model. An inverse gradation can be obtained by inverting the illumination as shown in Fig. 3; or, alternatively, by using a diapositive obtained from a negative produced with the illumination of Fig. 2. In the case of coloured models, the variations of intensity due to the actinic action of the colours, which necessarily would alter the accuracy of the relief, are compensated by making an exposure of the model with uniform illumination, or with inverted gradation, and combining a diapositive of this with the first negative. A modification of the process consists in making successive exposures of the model, which is illuminated successively from the different directions.

Title: A Process for the Manufacture of Cellulose from suitable Vegetable Materials of all kinds.
Inventor: PFIEL JOSEF EDUARD
IPC: D21C3/22
Filed: 1911-05-12
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 11,489. Pfiel, J. E. June 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Pulp, preparation of.-Cellulose is obtained from material in a finely divided state, such as sawdust, or nettles, hops, &c., by boiling them for a short time with dilute caustic soda lye until the incrusting-substances are swollen up and at the most only partly dissolved, the swollen up incrusting - substances being then mechanically removed from the fibre. The material is treated in relatively small portions by being boiled in small tubular boilers, which are heated along their whole length in a regulated manner. The concentration of the lye is from ¢ to 4 per cent, the concentration depending on the raw material used; the lye is quickly brought to the temperature and pressure required-about 200‹ C. and 15 atmospheres. The boilers may be heated by steam, in which case strong lye and superheated steam is used, so that the concentration of the lye at the end of the process is the same as that in the usual process; or the lye may be superheated in a separate boiler and introduced into the material to be boiled. The swollen-up incrusting- substances may be removed in a washing- hollander or by jets of liquids made to play upon the material on sieve-like supports; in this case knots &c. are washed through the sieves, the fibres felting together, and by using several sieves the small fibres that pass through the first sieve may be taken up. The last remaining parts of the incrusting - substances are removed by treatment with a very dilute solution of a manganate or permanganate, so that the cellulose is not oxidized, while the incrusting - substances are; the incrusting-substances are then dissolved by sulphurous acid or substances yielding sulphurous acid, and the cellulose is finally washed.

Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 18,364. Huttenlocher, F. Aug. 20, 1910, [Convention date]. Valves controlled from a distance; actuating. -Relates to an automatic cut-off device for gas-burners to prevent the escape of unburnt gas on omission to ignite the gas or on the flame being extinguished without the gas-cock being closed. The device comprises a bell 4, Fig. 1, or the like, disposed on the supply side of the usual gas-cock 1. In operation to light the gas, the bell is first lifted by hand to obtain a charge of gas from the supply-pipe 3; the cock 1 is then opened. If the gas is not ignited at the burner very shortly thereafter, the escape of gas at the burner causes the bell to fall and close the inlet pipe 3. If the gas is lit opportunely, a pin 10 carried by a diaphragm is moved to intercept the pin 6 on the bell and hold the bell in the raised position. The diaphragm is moved by the expansion of air confined in a small chamber at the burner. Modifications are described in which the closure parts 3, 11 are replaced by liquid-seal members, and in which the device is placed between the usual gas-cock and the burner. Fig. 9 shows one liquid-seal arrangement in which the bell is raised initially by a forked lever 20 in engagement with a pin 21 in opposition to the load 23 on the detent-lever 24.
