Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 10,673. Ratignier, M., Pervilhac, H., and Pervilhac, G., [trading as Pervilhac & Co., H.]. May 2. Printing processes and apparatus; inking- apparatus.-Open tissue fabrics such as Tulles, and other fabrics, are printed with viscous or plastic material, such as a solution of cellulose, collodion, viscose, &c., from a cylinder engraved in intaglio, and the designs so printed are printed wholly, or in part, in one or more colours, by means of cylinders engraved in relief. Lace-like effects may thus be produced. The fabric t is supported by a cloth or canvas backing d and is passed around a roller h while being printed on in a viscous &c. material by a cylinder a engraved in intaglio, the cylinder being fitted with a scraper k held against it by a counterweight l, and reciprocated longitudinally by a cam. The fabric may be artificially dried on before passing over an impression roller b with which coact printing- cylinders c engraved in relief, which print in colour on the previously printed design.

Granted: 1912-07-25
Abstract: 12,677. Bullock, C. A. H., and International Stamping Machine Co. Nov. 27. Stamp - applying.-A full - stroke device for stamp-affixing machines comprises a rack 2 carried by the operating-plunger 1 and in engagement with a pawl 4 carried by the machine casing 3. The pawl is slidable against the action of a spring 5, and allows the plunger to be depressed, but not to be raised until an incline 10 at the top of the rack forces the pawl back sufficiently for the spring 5 to engage a catch 7. When the plunger is fully raised, a pin 11 carried by it lifts the spring 5 from the catch 7, and the pawl is again pushed into engagement with the rack.

Abstract: 20,733. Booker, H. J., and Reinecke, R. C. A. Sept. 19. Arc lamps.-A feeding and adjusting mechanism is shown in elevation and plan in Figs. 1 and 4. The electrodes are adjusted by a rocking cradle until the limit of adjustment is reached, whereupon a striker adjustably mounted on the cradle engages an arm on a shaft 7, turning the shaft against a spring 10. The shaft 7 carries a button 8 having a notch 9, which, on rotation of the shaft 7, allows a forked arm x, secured to a shaft v, to be thrown downwards by a torsion spring 1 so as to engage a pin z on an arm y, loose on the shaft v. Another arm u, 'also secured to the shaft v, is simultaneously rotated so as to bring two contacts b into engagement with two other contacts k, thus making the circuit of a feeding-magnet. The electrodes are then fed through a pawl c and ratchet-wheel f by the reciprocation of a link c connected to the core of the magnet, the circuit being made and broken by means of a dead-centre spring 2 connecting the link c and the arm y. The ratchet-wheel f is provided with a detent 29 which may be disengaged, together with the pawl e, by a screw 33, when it is desired to feed by hand. The contacts k are supported on spring blades a fixed to an insulating-block j, and may have platinum tips l. The blades a may have extension pieces o which rest on an insulated adjustable arm p.
