Title: Improved Method of Ornamental Lettering on Glass.
Inventor: GORE HENRY CHARLES
IPC: B44C1/04
Filed: 1910-02-19
Granted: 1911-02-20
Abstract: 4206. Gore, H. C. Feb. 19. Ornamenting.-Consists in the following combination process for lettering on glass. The surface D, Fig. 3, is painted with an opaque background; transparent letters E<1> are formed by removing parts of the background by a solvent applied over stencils; and crumpled metal foil E' is applied to the transparent parts before the background is dry, or a transparent colour varnish E is applied to the transparent parts after the background has dried and the metal foil is applied to the varnish coating before it is dry. The stencils used comprise two leaves G, G', Fig. 4, which complete each other for letters like 0; the leaves are connected to each other by creases or hinges K, K<1> and have flaps L to facilitate manipulation. According to the Provisional Specification, the transparent lettering may also be obtained by printing. A thin sheet of rubber is mounted on a strawboard, the letters are drawn on the rubber or on a light material temporarily applied to it, the letters are cut out through the rubber, the lettering background thus formed is secured to a printing-board, and the opaque colour is applied by a printer's roller.

Abstract: 7990. McGlashan, G. C., and Williams, D. Sept. 19. Moulds; moulding processes; patterns.-In a method of casting chains in which links are cast through intermediate links, the matrices being formed by sectional patterns, the sectional pattern link A and the links B are placed on the sand in a mould box C and sand moulded up at C' to the middle of the pattern link as shown in Fig. 2. The upper mould box is then placed in position, the sand rammed and a runner provided. The boxes are then turned over and the box C removed and the sand knocked out. The sand is then moulded up in a similar manner on the other half of the link, the box C then placed in position, and the sand rammed. The portions C<1> thus form parting surfaces, and, when the boxes are raised alternately, the sections of the pattern link can be withdrawn through the top of the portions C<1>. The boxes may have side openings to permit the chain already made to extend in between them.

Abstract: 29,306. Groeling, A. F. G. C. P. J. von, and Rewse, H. S. Smith-. Dec. 16. Paraffin, purifying.-Vertical sweating-cells, such as are described in Specification 7630/05, are provided with means whereby the temperature of one part of the cell can be controlled with relation to that of the other part of the cell, in order that the cooling or sweating operations may be accurately controlled. For this purpose, cells of either annular (Fig. 1), rectangular (Fig. 10), or other form in horizontal section, may be provided with jackets c, Fig. 1, on any or all of their walls, these jackets being filled with water of the requisite temperature for cooling or heating purposes, or being left empty in order to insulate the jacketed wall. The drainage screens d are arranged on the wall which is less strongly cooled while the paraffin is being solidified, and which is heated to a greater extent during the subsequent sweating operation. Such cells may be arranged in a chamber in which sweating is effected by means of steam nozzles which suck a regulated quantity of air into the chamber, fans being used to exhaust the heating-medium from the chamber. The cells may be arranged for temperature differentiation in a vertical instead of in an horizontal plane. Cells of this type, Fig. 10, are constructed with a layer of stones m at the base and with drainage screens d arranged on either or both of the walls and extending up the whole or part only of the walls. The cooling is in this case effected from above by water spray, as from pipes n, or by a downwardly-directed air current, and the heating from below by means of steam-pipes at the base of the chamber, or by means of hot air or hot water. The cells may have walls tapering in either an upward or downward direction, and may be provided with corrugated drainage screens.

Granted: 1912-01-30
Abstract: 2297. Bridge, R. Jan. 30. Cores, covering by winding. - A machine for winding one or morc strips of fabric or other material around pneumatic and other tyres to assist in the manufacture thereof, or tc form a wrapper for a manufactured tyre prior to vulcanization, comprises a number of radially-adjustable supporting - capstans, each of which is positively driven to rotate the tyre, and rotatable winding - heads, which with their bearing-rings are formed in two parts hinged together to allow the introduction of the tyre. Fig. 1 shows a machine for wrapping tyre covers in which the cover is supported by four capstan pulleys e (two only being shown), carried on vertical shafts d driven positively from the driving - shaft f through bevel and worm gear i, j. The speed of the capstans may be constant or may be varied by means of change gear 2 operable by a lever 3. The worms of the gear j move axially along radiating shafts k according to the diameter of the cover being wrapped. The capstar shafts d pass through intersecting radial and curved slots p, o in stationary and rotary disks m, n, Fig. 3, and are thus radially movable for different tyre diameters. The rotary disk n may be operated by a handle q so as to move the capstans away from one another for the introduction of a tyre cover; a spring r, or a suitably-arranged weight, holds the capstans against the cover and allows them to move apart as the winding proceeds. One or more rotatable heads s, provided with adjustablymounted tape &c. reels t tensional by brake bands u or other devices, are mounted in frames v provided with bearing-rings w, and the heads s and rings ware each divided into two parts hinged and secured together, as by pins, whereby the tyre cover may be entered within the heads. Each head s is driven positively by spur and bevel gearing y, z or other suitable gear from the driving-shaft f, and the heads are also adjustable in relation to one another according to the diameter of the tyre cover. One or more wrappings may be accomplished simultaneously in the same or opposite directions.

Granted: 1913-02-17
Abstract: 4045. Thornton, J. E. Feb. 17. Kinematograph apparatus. - In a kinematograph colour film having recurring series of two, three, or more colour pictures, other than hand or like coloured films, the pictures are themselves formed as colour pictures, thereby dispensing with all forms of colour screens. The films are made by any bichromated colloid or carbon process, and alternative processes are described in detail. Alternatively, a silver positive is converted into a dyed colloid film by first bleaching it into a haloid positive and dyeing this with suitable dyes. In printing bichromate films, apparatus such as is described in Specifications 26,997/11 and 3384/12, [both in Class 98 (ii), Photographic processes &c.], may be used. When a bichromate process is used, the film is perforated after it is finished to compensate for longitudinal shrinkage by adjusting the relative position of the holes to each picture as perforating proceeds. The perforating-apparatus described in Specification 12,230/12, [Class 100 (i), Feeding and delivering webs &c.], is used.
