Title: Improvements in Machines for Printing in Relief.
Inventor: DELEUIL SEVERIN
Filed: 1912-12-13
Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 28,714. Deleuil, S. June 7, [Convention date]. Stencilling-apparatus; platen presses; inking- apparatus; printing-surfaces.-A machine for printing in relief on plates or sheets comprises a reciprocating carriage in which a platen is mounted, the movements of the carriage operating to raise and lower a piston which forces ink through a perforated printing-plate on to which the sheets are pressed by the platen. The sheets to be printed are placed on rubber bands 11 attached to a frame 9, which is raised by springs 10 encircling rods 8 guiding the frame. The platen 13 is normally kept raised by a spring 25 acting on an arm on a shaft 17 connected by links to the platen and by an adjustable connecting-rod to an operating-handle 21. The platen is mounted in a carriage 15 formed with rollers 37 moving over tracks 38 on a frame 1, which also supports a cylinder 2 formed with a cap 3 supporting a grating 4 above which is a cover-plate 7 and a perforated printing-plate 5 with cut-out characters 6, or with characters formed as shallow depressions with holes which form ink-ways connected to the under face of the plate 5. The carriage 15 is moved to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 to allow sheets to be placed on the bands 11, and then the carriage returns to bring the platen over the sheet to be printed. Before actual printing occurs, the piston 26 is lowered, the cylinder 2 is filled with a viscous ink, and the level of the ink is adjusted to the top of the plate 5. An impression is then taken. The movement of the carriage 15 outwards and backwards then feeds an amount of ink sufficient for the next impression, this feed and its adjustment being effected as follows. The piston 26 is fitted with a split screw 27 prevented from rotation by a pin 29 and engaged by a readily detachable nut 32, which is normally driven first in one direction and then reversed by worm gearing from a shaft 36. This causes the piston first to drop a little and then to rise to a slightly greater extent. The dropping movement is caused by rotating the shaft 36 in a counter-clockwise direction, Fig. 1, as the carriage 15 moves outwards by the action of an inclined slot 55 on the carriage on a lever 53, which is slotted at one end to engage a joint pivot 48 on an adjustable connecting-rod 46 adjustably connected to a tail 44 of a catch 42 on a freelymounted arm 40, to the hub of which is connected a weight 56 and an arm 59 fitted with an adjustable stop 57 for controlling a catch 43 on a second arm 41 freely mounted on the shaft 36. During the downward movement of the rod 46. the catch 43 engages a wheel on the shaft 36 at a time that is controlled by the stop 57, and on the return movement the catch 42 engages the wheel and rotates it in the reverse direction. By adjusting the stop 57 the quantity of ink delivered is controlled. The wheel is held by a detent 60.

Abstract: 6916. Tiedemann, E. March 20. Vehicle windows. - Balancing-apparatus comprises a spring, or a rod carrying a coiled spring, connected to a lever which is rocked through an angle of about 90 degrees or less by a train of gearing during the opening movement of the window, the leverage of the spring decreasing as the tension or compression of the spring increases. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the sash F rests on a support 1, which carries an arm 7, a pivoted toothed sector 5, and a pinion 2 engaging a fixed rack 3. The arm 7, which carries a roller 8 working in the sash run, is connected by a spring 9 to the sector 5, which gears with a pinion 4 keyed to the pinion 2. The support 1 also carries rollers 6 running on the back of the rack 3. In modifications, two such balancing-devices may be carried by the support with a common spring, or two separate springs, and the sash may, instead of resting directly on the support, rest on rollers mounted on the upper ends of the toothed sectors. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the toothed sector f is pivoted to the window casing and is operated by endless-chain gearing a, b, c, the chain b being connected to a member d on the sash F, and the chain-wheel c carrying a pinion e meshing with the sector f. The spring is coiled on a rod which is pivoted to the sector at one end, and slides at the other end in a fixed bracket h.

Abstract: 9781. Chatfield, R. G. April 25. Pressure-regulating valves.-In an organ, a pressure regulator is employed comprising a bellows 1 communicating with the wind-trunk w through a port 11, and also through another port controlled by a non-return valve 7. A relief-valve discharging into the atmosphere may be substituted for the valve 7. The moving-board of the bellows is connected by a cord 4 passing over pulleys 5 to a valve, which may comprise a sheet of rubber cloth 6 attached to a grating 12 at its upper end and wound around a roller 13 at the other end. Cords 14 are wound around the roller 13 in the opposite direction and secured to a bar 15 to which the cord 4 is attached. A small spring-controlled bellows 8, having an atmospheric connexion controlled by a valve 9 comprising a perforated strip of leather, is arranged either inside or outside the wind-trunk w. Air flows through the wind-trunk in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the expansion or collapse of the bellows 1 serves to close or open the valve 6 to equalize the pressure. A heavy demand on the wind, followed by a complete cessation, causes the bellows 1 to expand rapidly and close the valve 6. The non-return valve 7 opens, and the bellows 8 partially collapses to relieve the pressure, the air it contains being expelled through the valve 9. The rate of expansion of the bellows 8 is determined by the area of the perforation in the valve 9.
