Title: Improvements in Processes for Obtaining Engravings on Glass Rollers in Relief and in Intaglio.
Inventor: PACQUEMENT CHARLES FREDERIC
Filed: 1901-04-16
Granted: 1901-06-22
Abstract: 7823. Pacquement, C. F. April 16. Etching; printing- rollers.-Relates to the formation of etched, relief or intaglio, glass rollers, particularly intended for printing on coloured papers, fabrics, oilcloths, &c. The production of a roller with a relief design is first described. A core or tube of drawn metal, with a fixed ferrule at one end and an adjustable one at the other, is fitted with a shaft centered by means of cones screwed on either end. A glass tube is roughened by immersion in a bath of water, soda crystals, and hydrofluoric acid, and is slipped over the metal tube and shaft, placed vertically, and secured by cement, preferably a mixture of sodium silicate and sifted sawdust. The roller is then smoothed in a lathe by the use of water and sand and a castmetal mould. A coating of virgin wax or pitch is then applied by rolling the roller over a perfectlyflat heated metal table coated with a thin layer of the material. The coated roller is then rolled over thin sheet lead spread over another part of the flat table, so that the lead adheres ; or the lead may be applied by the use of a hot iron. The glass should be cleaned before coating, by the use of water and pumice placed on a cloth. The design is sketched on the lead by the aid of lithographic reproducing-paper, and the proper parts are cut away. The roller is then rinsed in spirits of benzene or turpentine, rubbed with a burnisher with interposed glazed paper, and afterwards mounted to rotate and dip into a bath of aqueous hydrofluoric acid. Deep etchings are produced progressively in several operations. After the first operation the roller is removed, washed with water, rolled in a fresh layer of wax or pitch, some of which is smeared on the edges of the relief, and then treated with acid again, and so on. The edges of the relief may be further protected by applying varnish. After the etching is finished, the lead is removed, the roller is rinsed, and its ends are chamfered in a lathe. For designs in intaglio, the roughened roller is re-polished by means of water and an emery disc and then a felt wheel and rouge, and afterwards coated with lead and etched as before. A grain is imparted to the etched parts, before removing the lead, by immersion in a bath of water and hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids.

Title: Improvements in the Methods of and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Indiarubber Tubes and Covers, especially applicable for Pneumatic Tyres.
Inventor: BERT EMILE
Filed: 1902-04-28
Granted: 1903-03-19
Abstract: 9805. Bert, E. April 28. Tyres, pneumatic.-Relates to the manufacture of india-rubber or similar articles, such as the outer covers, protecting strips, and air tubes of pneumatic tyres &c. In the form shown, the material from which the air tube 2 of a pneumatic tyre has to be manufactured is placed round a hollow crescent-sectioned mandrel m and is then tightly surrounded by the two correspondingly-shaped parts a, b of a vulcanizing-mould. By circulating a current of steam through the channel d in one part of the mould, and a stream of liquid at a low temperature, through the interior of the mandrel, the outer part r of the tread of the air tube becomes more completely vulcanized than the inner part s. When the air tube is made to take the shape which it will have when in use, the outer part r does not expand and hence the inner part s becomes compressed, so that the outer hard part resists a puncturing object and the inner part tends to close a puncture.
