Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 19,039. Bhisey, S. A. Aug. 18. Colouring.-In making coloured photographe by backing a painted film with artists' canvas, the photo film is obtained on a temporary glass or transparent support by coating the glass with a thin solution of transparent waterproof and easily-detachable surface, such as rubber or paraffin wax, and over this applying a coating of ordinary printing-emulsion or carbon-tissue. The negative is printed so that the positive is face downwards on the glass, and after developing and colouring the print the canvas backing is applied and the mounted print stripped from the temporary support. A final coat of varnish is given to the print, and it may be pressed under an embossing-plate to produce the rough canvas surface and brush marks. According to the Provisional Specification an opaque temporary support may be employed, in which case a piece of. stout paper is used with a good hard and waterproof surface on one of its sides; this surface is coated with a thin solution of beeswax and lac dissolved in turpentine.

Title: Improvements in Stays for Corsets and the like.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
IPC: A41C1/16
Filed: 1911-06-01
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 13,210. Fairweather, W., [Thomas, A. L.]. June 1. Sinuous springs.-Relates to single-wire stays for corsets &c., bent to a serpentine form, and consists in twisting each transverse portion 4 beyond the elastic limit in a sense opposite to a twist also given to the adjacent transverse portions. When the stiffener is bent in a direction such that all the transverse portions are subject to an additional twist in the same sense as the initial twist, it takes a sharp curve without contracting a permanent set. According to the method of manufacture described, a bend 3<a> is made at right-angles to the plane of the previous bend 3. This is then forced back into that plane so twisting the transverse portion 4, as indicated in Fig. 3, beyond its elastic limit. The next bend is made to project at right-angles from the plane of the stiffener in the same direction. When this is forced back, the next transverse portion takes a twist in the reverse sense. The finished stiffener has all its transverse portions 4 twisted as indicated in Fig. 1. Specification 13,105/11 is referred to.

Granted: 1912-09-04
Abstract: 19,670. Linotype & Machinery, Ltd., Pearce, H., Parker, T. R. G., and Wright, F. W. Sept. 4. T r i p p i n g - arrangements; i n k i n g and damping apparatus.-A printing-press is fitted with a number of tripping mechanisms f o r tripping the inking- rollers, water and ink ductor rolls, or any other organ of the press occasionally, the controlling -levers of the various tripping- mechanisms being grouped together so that the tripping may be effected manually a n d independently by either the sheet feeder or the machine attendant from their normal working positions, or the levers may be connected to the tripping- mechanism of another organ which is independently o p e r a t e d either manually or otherwise, such as that which trips the forme-inking rollers. As shown, the last-mentioned trip mechanism consists of an automatic trip mechanism of the kind described in Specifications 19,667/11 and 15,969/12, for tripping the inking-rollers, and a link 9 of this mechanism is arranged to oscillate a bell-crank 23 to which the attendant or feeder may connect, if desired, the rod 35 which trips the ink ductor roller, and the rod 26 which trips the water ductor roller 15. By connecting a notch 29 on the rod 26 with a stud 28 on the lever 23, the cam 20 is rocked to act on a pivoted frame 16 in which the water ductor roll 15 is mounted, and the roller 15 is thus tripped and untripped with the inking-rollers as they are tripped and untripped by the link 9. By connecting a notch 39 in the rod 35 with a stud 37 on the lever 23 the rod 22 is oscillated to trip and untrip the ink ductor roller in unison with the tripping of the inking-rollers. A bell-crank 33 engaging a slot 22<a> in the rod 22 allows the tripping to take place without bumping the ink roller. The roller 15 may be held permanently tripped or untripped by engaging a notch 31 on the rod 26 with fixed studs 30, 32, respectively, and the ink ductor rollers may be similarly held by the engagement of a fixed stud 40 with notches 38, 38<a> in the rod 36.

Abstract: 23,496. Michell, A. G. M. Oct. 24. Lubricant conveyed by mechanical means.- To facilitate the entrance of oil between the bearing-surfaces of a shaft and a journal bearing, the bearing is divided into a number of sections 4, Figs. 1 and 6, which are supported unsymmetrically on projections 6, so that the bearing pressure is greater at one side of the section than at the other. Oil is raised from an oil well 19 by rings 16 suspended on a roller 13, which rests on the shaft and is journaled at its ends in horseshoeshaped bearings 15, open at the lower side. To allow the oil to enter between the sections 4, they are kept apart by small projections. The rings 16 are guided by fingers 17 projecting downwards from inspection covers 18. Force-feed lubricators.-Fig. 8 shows the application of the invention to a bearing for a vertical shaft. Oil is raised from a well 34 by a centrifugal pump, consisting of a cylinder 20 with internal ribs fitting on to a spindle 22 and forming a number of vertical passages which are contracted at the lower ends. A friction wheel 26 on the spindle 22 is driven by a friction wheel 27 mounted on a spring- pressed arm pivoted on the cover 35. The spring keeps the wheel 27 in contact with the wheel 26 and with the shaft. The oil is delivered to a chamber 33, and passing downwards between the sections of the bearing is returned to the well 34 by a ring 42 on the shaft. The roller 27 has a tubular extension 38 projecting into the chamber 33, for the purpose of raising oil through spiral grooves formed on the inner fixed pin 28.
