Inventor: NOBLETT ROBERT
IPC: C14B1/26
Filed: 1912-11-22
Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 26,837. Noblett, R. Nov. 22. Stretching by tension. -A device for stretching hides and skins consists of a board with one or more movable parts and means for separating these from each other or from a fixed part, some of the movable parts being optionally arranged to move some distance before others begin to move. In the form shown in Fig. 1, upper and lower frame bars c<1>, c<2> are joined by the fixed member b and carry studs d which engage in slotted guide-plates a<4> in the movable members a<1>, a<2>. The hide &c. is tacked on to the members b, a<1>, a<2>, the last two of which are forced apart by right and left handed screw-threaded rods h having handwheels k and supported in journals y on the member b. The neck portion is tacked to intermediate movable pieces f<1>, f<2>, which are linked to the bars a<1>, a<2> by studs and slotted plates m, so as to be separated only after the bars a<1>, a<2> have moved apart by some distance. The pieces f<1>, f<2> are guided by dowels q and slotted plates p. In alternative forms, the two rods h are replaced by a single central rod, or toggles are used to force the movable members apart. The member b may be placed at one end of the frame, instead of centrally, or it may be omitted, the hide &c. in this case being attached only to relatively-movable parts. The two rods h may carry pulleys which are coupled together by a belt for actuating both sets of screws in unison. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the movable members a<1>, a<2> are actuated by wedges x, which are adjusted either by hand or by screwed rods y. In the forms shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the bars a<1>, a<2> are moved respectively by weighted rods z<2> and toggle rods z<1>, and by a central pivoted lever b<1> actuated by a nut b<3> and screwed rod b<2>. Alternatively, short round-ended levers may be pivoted on the bars c<1>, c<2> and driven in against the members a<1>, a<2> to separate them. The material under treatment instead of being tacked to the bars may be sewn to strips of webbing which are permanently secured to the bars.

Abstract: 552. Fox, W. F., Hickey, W. H., and Kinemacolor Co. Jan. 8. Right to Patent relinquished. Colour photography.-A process for obtaining colour photographs or colour kinematograph films comprises the following steps: (1) taking two identical or closely similar images through a red and green screen respectively, for example successive R and G images of a kinematograph negative film, Fig. 1; (2) printing a positive B, Fig. 2, of these images; (3) superposing the negatives and positive images so that an R negative is superposed on the corresponding G positive image and vice versa, and using this as a combination negative to obtain a printing- negative C, Fig. 4, only alternate pairs of the combination negative being used for obtaining the printing-negative in the case of kinematograph negatives in which the R and G images are taken alternately; (4) producing a positive D, Fig. 5, from this printing-negative; (5) subjecting this positive first to an acid green bath, and after washing to an alkaline red bath, or alternately first to a bath of vanadium chloride to make the silver deposit on the film absorptive, then to a green bath, and subsequently to an alkaline red bath. To obtain a better graduation and blend of colours, the following additional steps may be taken: recoating the positive either on the front or back, printing in register and successively the two component images in the negative A, and developing these images so printed. Alternatively, and as may be required, only one of these images can be printed. Alternatively and where copies are not required, the printing-negative C can be coloured and further treated as in step 5 described above. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 7368/13.

Abstract: 1107. Shanks, J. Jan. 15. Actuating; diaphragm valves.-A chamber 4 containing a diaphragm valve 3 is fitted to the waste-pipe 5 of a bath or the like. The chamber has an extension 10 which communicates with the upper part of the bath by a tube 16. When the bath is filled, the water rises at the same time in the pipe 10 and, if the flow continues, overflows into an inner pipe 9 passing through the valve 3 and sets up siphonic action. The suction thereby produced raises the valve. When the water level reaches the tube 16, air enters and stops the action. The valve may be operated manually by means of a handle 14. In a modification, the handle is housed in a separate tube and the connexion with the tube 9 admits of a lost motion.

Stereotype; printing-surfaces.-A support for receiving semicylindrical or tubular stereotype plates from a casting-apparatus and conveying them into position for entering a boring-apparatus, or for hand trimming or routing, comprises a saddle 3, Fig. 1, having a reduced end 5 and shoulder 4 and mounted so as to permit of moving into alinement with the casting- cylinder or the boring-cylinder or into an intermediate position, by a spindle 6 in a bearing 7 supported by a pivot 9 in a bearing 10 on a stand 1 arranged between the casting and the boring-apparatus. A hand-wheel 8 on the spindle serves for rotating the support 3 to present the plates in correct angular relation to the boring-apparatus, and also to bring various parts of the plate into position for hand-trimming. After receiving a cast plate, the support is turned on the pivot 9 to present the plate to the boring-cylinder, and, after boring, the plate is returned to the support, which is moved to a position for hand-trimming the plate. The support may be adapted to receive plates from an inclined casting-apparatus 11, Fig. 3, by mounting the bearing 7 in trunnions 14 and providing a worm 16 and wheel 18 for turning it therein to aline the support 3 with the inclined casting-cylinder and then lift it to the horizontal position. Two or more supports 3 may be carried by the stand and may be arranged opposite, or at any angle, to one another. Locking-catches and pointer indicators may be provided for securing or indicating alined position's of the support, and in the case of semicylindrical plates, the supports may be provided with clamps to secure the plates, which clamps, when withdrawn, pass within the supports.
