Title: Improvements relating to the Production of Music Prints and the like.
Inventor: WILHELM ENDERLEIN
IPC: B41M3/04
Filed: 1911-08-11
Abstract: 18,183. Enderlein, W. July 11, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Printing-surfaces; transfers.-The invention is specially suitable for the production of " music-print originals, as substitutes for music " engravings, music-compositions (in type), and " autographic music." A transparent sheet is covered with an elastic transparent coating of gelatine, celluloid, &c., and collodion, and is then varnished and coated with a metalliferous colour. A suitable tool " (Notenrastal) " is used to form the lines of the staves, by removing the colour so that parts become permeable to light, and " a ridge is formed by the tool on " one side of each line, which ridge is required " for the insertion of the music characters." The notes, bars, rests, &c. are then apparently produced by magnetized engraving-tools or steel dies which take away the metalliferous colour. " The originals are covered over with an opaque colour and are transferred to a transparent sheet so as to transfer directly to a printing- surface without necessitating the usual double printing."

The slide holds the fabric against the anvil 11 and is pressed forward by a spring 20, the movement of the slide and carriage being limited by the slot 5<a>. A staple-driver 8 is attached to the cap 5, and a head 10 to receive and guide the button and fastener is fixed to the end of the slide 9, a spring-actuated yielding pin 19 positioning the button in the head 10. Buttons, feeding.-The buttons with attached fasteners are fed to the head 10 along a shoot 12 mounted on the carriage 6. A spring stop 24 projects into the bottom of the shoot to hold back the buttons, which are fed one at a time past the stop by a bifurcated pusher 13. The pusher 13 is actuated by a lever 16 pivoted to an arm 7 extending from the carriage 6, the end of the lever having a pivoted spring-pressed extension 16<a> passing through a slot in an arm 17 attached to the cap 5.

Patent GB-191216710-A (GB)
Title: Steam Turbine Plant for Working with Live and Exhaust Steam.
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1912-07-17
Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 16,710. Vereinigte Dampfturbinen Ges. July 17, 1911, [Convention date]. Regulating.-A turbine a is normally supplied by exhaust steam through a conduit b, the stages d, c in advance of this point running idle. Should the low - pressure supply become insufficient, the steam is admitted through a conduit c to the stage d, and the conduit b is closed. At the same time, high-pressure steam is supplied through a nozzle f to the stage e. Owing to the smaller admission area, less lowpressure steam is required in the stage d than in the succeeding stages. The above-described conversion of supply is effected by fluid relays controlled by a speed governor. The normal condition of steam supply is that shown diagrammatically in the Figure. The high-pressure valve k and the low-pressure valve l are kept closed by the servo - motors p, v respectively. Movements of the governor operate a pilot valve g controlling a fluid relay h, which in turn controls a second relay i for the operation of a servo-motor u by which the valve m is actuated. This valve regulates the amount of steam supplied to the conduit b. If the low - pressure supply is insufficient when the valve m is fully opened, the governor continues its movement, whereupon the relay h directly operates the servo-motor p and indirectly operates the servomotors u, v through the intermediary of the relay i to effect the closure of the valve m and the opening of valves k, l.

Abstract: 18,826. Martin, P. Aug. 16. Rotary machines.-An ' all size' rotary printing - machine is so constructed that the feed of the paper is controlled by surfaces which are adjustable to correspond with the size of the printing-surface, the web being automatically stopped during the non- printing periods. As shown the web passes between the two printing - couples 1<1>, 2<1> and 1, 2, which either perfect a web or print it in different colours on the same side, the web passing over registering- rollers 7, 8, 9, 10, which are adjusted so as to make the distance traversed by the web between the printing-couples, and between the last couple and the cutting-cylinder 3, equal to twice the length of the printed sheet. The cylinder 3 feeds the web forward and is constituted of adjustable notched plates which are adjusted to forward a length of web equal to the printed sheet for each rotation of the cylinder 3. To stop the web during the non-printing intervals the web passes between auxiliary feed rollers 5, 6, which are driven by cam-controlled clutch and brake mechanism in such a manner that after the required length of web is forwarded, the driving-mechanism. for the rollers is unclutched and a brake applied.
