Filed: 1974-01-08
Abstract: 1451841 Screen-printing apparatus MITTER & CO 8 Jan 1974 00834/74 Heading B6C A screen-printer in which an endless stencil band 30, Fig. 2, passes around three rollers arranged in triangular configuration and mounted between two support assemblies 31, 32 at each side of the stencil is characterized by the third roller 5 being movable vertically to tension the stencil and pivotable horizontally out of parallelism with rollers 4 to effect further adjustment of the stencil. The two assemblies 31, 32 are carried on pairs of cylinders 33; the lower ends of the piston-rods 331 form supports 22 which engage with suitably-shaped mountings on a fixed frame 1. When a pressure medium is admitted above pistons 331, the entire printing mechanism is adjusted so that its weight is partially taken by compression springs (9). Fig. 12 (not shown) in the cylinders 33, and thus the mechanism partially floats to accommodate changes in thickness of the material being printed. The printing mechanism can also be raised to an inoperative position and the supports 22 associated with one of the assemblies 31, 32 retracted to allow replacement of the stencil band, Figs. 9 to 11 (not shown). The roller 5 is mounted in bearing boxes 77; it may be adjusted in a vertical sense by a worm drive from a drivable shaft 70, Fig. 7 (not shown); at least one of the boxes 77 contains a slide bearing 56 which may be laterally displaced by a worm drive from motor (51), Fig. 3 (not shown); normally the other box 77 provides the pivot point for this horizontal displacement. Thus the adjustment of roller 5 can be effected without any movement of the stencil band 30 between the rollers 4, and consequent blurring of the impression.

Abstract: 468,457. Grinding mills. SONSTHAGEN, A. Jan. 10, 1936, No. 877. [Class 59] [Also in Group XXVI] A device for compressing materials of or into a more or less viscid condition, comprises a fixed member and a moving member, the fixed member being formed to provide in conjunction with the moving member an inclined approach, a gap and a pressure pocket, or a plurality of these, the direction of motion of the material being in line with the line of movement of the moving member. As shown in Fig. 2 a rotary disc 9 co-operates with a fixed member la having an inclined approach 3, a gap 4 and a pressure pocket 2 connected to a reservoir 7 in which liquid is maintained under a controlled pressure. In Fig. 4 as applied to a roller 17 material in a receptacle 14 is fed through a gate 16 to a chamber 16a having an approach 19, gap 20 and pocket 21 co-operating with the roller 17 the material discharged flowing up a duct 22 and overflowing into the receptacle 14. Two rollers separated by a block formed on the faces co-operating with the rollers with an approach, gap and pocket may discharge downwardly into a reservoir which communicates through a valve with a pipe leading to the feed hopper. In Figs. 6, 8 a disc mill having a rotor 36 provided with spiral ribs 37 and a plain periphery is in contact with a stator hinged at 39 and comprising a series of spirally arranged chambers diminishing into an inclined approach 3a, a gap 4 and a pocket 2a, the latter being in contact with the plain part of the periphery. After passing out of the chamber the material is scraped off the surface of the rotor by scrapers 48, 49 into a discharge outlet 50. The rotor and stator may be heated or cooled and fixed means may be inserted in the chambers to produce a whirling motion. An inner belt may be provided on the disc mill to produce coarse grinding. The pockets may discharge to atmosphere through bleeding orifices to control the pressure therein &c. and air or other gases or liquids may be mixed with the material in front of the pocket. A pocket or a series of pockets may be divided transversely by partitions and pressure balancing rollers may be used to prevent the surfaces springing apart or when a roller is used it may be barrel-shaped. The contacting surfaces may be smooth or surface treated and the chamber walls may be inclined.

[Class 138 (ii).] A stand for a wringer or mangle is located over a washing appliance and is provided with a supporting member for the wringer which can swivel or slide relatively to the stand so as to occupy a convenient position relatively to the washing appliance. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the bar 15, to the upper face of which is pivoted at 24 a channel bar 21 in which the downwardly projecting pins 20 on the mangle or wringer frame are clamped, is pivotally mounted at 16 to the top of one of the legs of a four-legged rectangular frame F located over a copper or other washing appliance. The bar is held in any angular position in a horizontal plane above the copper &c. by means of a bolt 19 extending between the bar and a spaced parallel member 18 secured to the underside thereof, this member and the bar engaging the opposite faces of a horizontal member 17 connecting two of the legs of the frame. The pins of the wringer frame are clamped between one of the inner vertical faces of the channel bar and a spring 22 actuated by screws 23. The pivotal connection between the channel bar and the bar 15 permits the channel bar and the wringer to be folded down to lie in a plane parallel with the top of the stand so that the stand may then be covered with a table top. The channel bar is held in the vertical position by means of a nut 27 working on a fixed bolt which engages a slotted lug 25 fixed to the channel bar. In Fig. 4 the bar 28 to which the wringer is clamped is slidably mounted on the two side members 29 of the frame and can be locked thereto by bolts 31.
