Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 7893. Stanbon, C. P. April 5, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Channelling.-Relates to a poweroperated machine for channelling out.soles after they have been "laid." The channelling-knife c is adjustably mounted in the lower end of a carrier c<1>, which is slidably mounted in an arm c<3> rising from the machine head A. The carrier can be raised against the action of a spring c' by the depression of a treadle. The work is supported on the horizontal bevel of a wheel a<6>, which is driven by gearing from the main shaft a, and is fed forwards by a ribbed wheel b, which is also driven from the shaft a. To assist in the feed, there is provided a bearing-wheel f, which is mounted at the lower end of an oblique sbaft f<1> adjustable about the arm c<3>. This wheel is pressed against the work by a spring f<8>, and rotates freely by contact with the work, but it may be driven positively from the shaft a. To vary the distance of the cut from the edge of the sole, the arm c<3> is mounted on a spring-pressed slide g, which is connected by the links g<5>, g<7> to a treadle. The feed of the work is also arranged to be under the control of the operator, by mounting the head A to slide as a whole on the main standard B. When the work is introduced into the machine, it is pressed against the feed-wheel b, forcing back the head A so that a friction disk o on the shaft a engages an opposed disk on the driving-pulley o'. The rate of feed is varied by slackening or increasing the pressure of the work against the wheel b.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Printing in More than One Colour.
Inventor: BROCK THOMAS
Filed: 1907-04-05
Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 7993. Brock, T. April 5. Printing in several colours ; printing-surfaces.- Relates to means for printing in more than one colour at one impression, and in particular to means for printing letterpress matter, for example a part of an advertisement to be emphasized, and a background in different colours. The type for printing the letterpress matter in black is stationary in a plane p, Fig. 4, while the block r for printing the background in red, and a forme q for printing a border in black, rest respectively below and above the plane p. The forme q is pressed upward by a spring s and has a projection u which engages a lever t mounted on a stud v in a sleeve w sliding on a rod x. The other end of this lever engages extensions on the forme r, which slide stiffly, under the action of springs 8, on guides 6. As the forme passes beneath the black inking - rollers prior to printing, the forme q descends and by means of the lever t depresses the sleeve w, thus allowing a lever y to snap into a recess 3 under the action of a spring 1, which is located between this and a second lever z. The two formes q, r are then raised together by the spring s. As the forme q is depressed by the impression cylinder, the lever y slides out of the recess 3, the sleeve w is partly depressed, and the lever z snaps into a groove 4 in a pillar. After an impression has been made the forme q is again raised by the spring s, and the lever, turning about the stud v now held stationary by the lever z, simultaneously depresses the red forme r clear of the black inking-rollers. The red forme r may contain its own colouring-matter after the manner of a stamp pad, or may be made of a colouring-matter similar to oil crayons. In the modification illustrated in Fig. 8, the background-printing forme is operated by a lever f intermittently coupled to the border forme a, by a fork x carriea by a parallel motion v, w, which is oscillated by a bell-crank p rocked by a cam o actuated by a ratchet-wheel m and pawl n.

Title: Improvements relating to Process of Toning Silver Prints.
Inventor: TRAUBE ARTHUR
Filed: 1907-05-02
Granted: 1908-05-04
Abstract: 10,258. Traube, A. May 2. Printing; toning; producing coloured photographs. -A method is described for converting silver prints into coloured monochromes. These monochromes are applicable for building up three-coloured prints. A silver print is first transformed into a print consisting of silver iodide or other compound capable of being coloured directly by immersion in a colour bath. The silver-iodide picture is then dissolved out, leaving a transparent coloured gelatin monochrome. Quinoline red is exemplified as a suitable dye, an acid fixing-bath being used. Where basic colouring - matters are used, tannin is added to prevent injury to the colour by the fixing-bath. Colouring-matters of any kind can, however, be used if the precipitation of the colouring-material in the form of an insoluble lake or salt is effected by the addition of appropriate substances to the fixing-solution.

Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 26,343. Preston, W. R., and Deeley, R. M. Nov. 28. Actuating valves; sliding valves; rotary disk valves.- Relates to locomotive and other regulators or valves of the sliding or rotary type comprising a main valve and a smaller or jockey valve, and consists in means adapted to open the jockey valve rapidly in advance of the main valve, and also to close the main valve in advance of the jockey valve. For this purpose, the main and jockey valves e, g, Fig. 1, are operated by separate cranks b, c through links d, f, the cranks being arranged so that when the valves are closed, the crank b of the main valve is on the dead centre whilst the crank c of the jockey valve is in the position corresponding to the maximum rate of motion of that valve. The cranks may be replaced by eccentrics or any other mechanical equivalent.. The jockey valve g is guided by lugs j on the main valve, and is held thereto by a spring o retained by a cross-bar q. The main valve has principal ports l and secondary ports n, and the jockey valve has ports h. In operation from the;closed position shown in Fig. 2, the jockey valve rises and uncovers the ports n before the main valve moves appreciably, so that equal pressures obtain on opposite sides of the valve; the mainvalve can then be readily operated to bring the ports l into register with the ports m in the seating. The operating-mechanism is also adapted for valves for compound engines where it is desired to supply steam to the low-pressure cylinders for starting purposes. In such valves a separate discharge pipe t, Fig. 7, and separate ports u, v, w in the valve seating, main valve, and jockey valve, respectively, are provided, the port v being closed by the jockey valve when.the main valve is fully open.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Controllers for Electric Motors.
Filed: 1908-03-03
Granted: 1909-04-05
Abstract: 4799. Crompton & Co., and Crompton, C. March 3. Motor controllers.-Relates to electric motor controllers of the type in which an operating-arm is geared to the resistance arm mechanically during the first part of the travel, and electrically by means of a no-volt clutch magnet as soon as this magnet is energized. The present invention consists in providing a bell-crank lever K, Fig. 1, which, when the no-volt or no-load clutch magnet D is de-energized, is pulled by a spring L so that it holds the pivoted armature E against the checks of the magnet. The latch E' integral with the armature E can thus engage a catch J on the operating-arm F. This arm F pulls over the resistance arm until the terminals E<2>, E<3> of the magnet touch segments M, V, the arms being then electrically locked and the lever K inoperative. Fig. 2 shows a diagram of connexions in which both armature and field currents flow together through an overload coil S to the resistance brush B. The end studs C1 C2 are connected to segments M1, M2, this arrangement causing each step of resistance cut out of the armature circuit to be inserted into the field circuit, and a full field to be suddenly made at the last contact. This may be avoided by subdividing the segment M1 into as many smaller segments as there are resistance studs in the armature rheostat, and connecting each segment to its corresponding stud for any given position of the arm. The dimensions of the segments M1, V, Fig. 2, are sufficient to allow the current that is induced in the field Q when the brush B breaks contact at C', to be discharged through the armature, the resistance, and the magnet D.
