Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 4864. Pointon, C. E., and Pointon, J. E. Feb. 28. Bakers' oven.-Drawplates are made in two or more sections, which are in the same plane when in the oven and have means whereby the front part may be lowered and the back part run on to it when the oven is to be charged. Figs. 1 and 2 are longitudinal sections showing the drawplate in and out of the oven. An auxiliary frame f supports the forward section g of the drawplate on the rollers or balls h, and is itself supported by the cams k on the shafts l, the section g being lowered by causing the cams k to turn by means of the hand-wheel m and worm gearing n or the like.

Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 6426. Paulitschky, C., and Paulitschky, R. March 16. Piers and landing-stages; harbours; ferries.-Consists in means for establishing railway communication between two countries separated by water while at the same time preserving to a country like Great Britain its insular character. An artificial island station S, Fig. 1, is erected in the sea and connected by a tunnel a under the deepest portion of the channel to the country Z. The trains are carried from the island S to the island or country c by a car T running on rails F, F<1>, Figs. 2 and 4, laid in a level bed D formed under the water between the island and the country c. The cars T consist of a framework carried by the wheels K and having a platform l to receive the trains. The wheels may be propelled by a motor or by chains or wire cables actuated from one or both of the harbours. To increase the stability of the cars, the rims of the wheels are made hollow and partly filled with a heavy material such as mercury, sand, or water. To prevent overturning in stormy weather, arms k are provided which slide below the upper flanges of the rails. In constructing the station S, the external walls f are first built up and the space between the walls then filled up with concrete or the like so that its surface forms the platform or landing-stage b. This stage is protected on three sides by the walls f as shown in the plan view, Fig. 2.

Patent GB-190901030-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machinery for the Manufacture of Inlaid Linoleum.
Inventor: WRIGHT JOHN
IPC: D06N7/00
Filed: 1909-01-15
Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 1030. Wright, J. Jan. 15. Inlaid fabrics.-A machine for making inlaid linoleum by the intrusion of parts of colour sheets into a ground sheet by means of male and female dies, as described in Specification 1135/08, comprises an intermittently revolving table A carrying a number of radial male dies B pivoted near the axis of the table. Adjacent to the table A is a frame D carrying a female die, over which a ground web D<2> moves intermittently. When a male die B comes opposite this female die, it descends automatically on to a colour sheet placed in a stencil C in an aperture in the table. A, and a platen E<1>, operated by an hydraulic ram E<2>, presses the male die and forces part of the sheet into the ground web. The web then moves forward, and the table A turns so as to bring the next die B opposite the female die, and the same operations are repeated. If four colours are to be inserted in the ground web, the four colour sheets are placed in the stencils C and the four dies B are sufficient to effect the operation. If more than four colours are required, additional colour webs are mounted on a beam at the side of the frame D, and these are caused to move intermittently across the ground web D? below male dies carried by hydraulic rams F, F<1>, F<2>, which insert the additional colours. When three colours are to be inserted, the whole pattern may be punched out of the ground web by one of the dies B and the female die, while the other three dies B insert the colours; or the male dies carried by the rams F, F<1>, F<2> can be used for this purpose. Thus, the table A and the machine unit mounted on the frame D can be used separately or combined, according to the number of colours to be introduced. Backing- material D<4> is fed under the web D<2>, and the webs D<2>, D<4> are moved intermittently by a web J passing around a drum J<2> which is intermittently revolved, by links J<4>, J<6>, J<7>, J<8>, J<11>, J<12>, actuated by a tappet rod J<5> on the ram F<2>. The direction of flow of the pressure fluid for actuating the rams is controlled by a rod G<4> connected to the ram E<2> and .operating through links G<5>, G<6>, G<7>, a tumbler lever G<8> carrying tappets G<10>, G<11>, which oscillate a two-armed lever G<13> carrying the valve of the valve-box G. The box G is joined by pipes to the pressure chambers of the rams. To prevent the ground web from sticking to the female die, a knifelike istripping-plate N is arranged to reciprocate between them, the movement of the plate being derived from that of the table, which is intermittently rotated by the rod G<4> on the ram E<2> through a series of levers &c.

Title: Manufacture of a Screen for Colour Photography.
Inventor: SPAETH CARL
IPC: G03C7/12
Filed: 1909-02-13
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 3601. Spõth, C. Feb. 13. Colour photography, screens for.-Means are described for making tricolour screens with colours symmetrically arranged in a single layer of gelatine by the process in which advantage is taken of the selective action of different dyestuffs towards exposed and unexposed chromated gelatine. A bichromated gelatine plate or transparent film is exposed under a screen (say, 20 lines per mm.). The excess of bichromate is washed out and the plate immersed in a solution containing equal amounts of a 1 per cent solution Ponceau, and a 1 per cent solution of Brilliant Azurine. The red dye colours the exposed gelatine, and the blue dye the unexposed gelatine. To obtain the third colour, the plate is re-sensitized with bichromate, and exposed with the screen turned through a suitable angle relatively to its first position. The excess of bichromate is washed out and the plate dyed in a 1 per cent solution Flavazine. This yellow dye colours only the unexposed parts of the blue lines previously formed and combines with the blue dye to give the green. Alternatively, in order to get the third colour, colour is washed out of the parts of the gelatine still remaining unexposed after the second exposure under the screen, and dyed with a dye-stuff that only fixes to these unexposed parts. The plate, after the first exposure under the screen, is dyed in a mixture of Crystal Ponceau, and Naphthol green to get red and green lines. After the second exposure to the screen, the plate is immersed in an alcoholic solution (90 of water to 10 of alcohol) which removes the green from the still unexposed parts of the gelatine. The plate is then dyed in a blue solution of Brilliant Azurine, which colours the unexposed parts blue.
