Granted: 1913-12-03
Abstract: 27,793. Stow, P. E., and Sharp, H. M. Dec. 3. Printing-apparatus for colouring kinematograph films; printing-surfaces; printing processes.-A method of colouring kinematograph films and the like consists in printing on the film from a second film on which photographic images have been produced and treated with a dye or colour. Each exposure of the film to be coloured is projected on to a ground glass or other screen, and all but the part to be coloured is blocked out by painting, covering with non- actinic paper, or other manner. This image is then illuminated by a beam from a white parabolic mirror, and photographed to the same scale as the original positive film on to a second film in a camera. The film is developed and treated with a bichromate solution which renders the parts of the film containing the silver image insoluble, after which the transparent parts are dissolved away with hot water. The film may also be produced by photographing or printing through an opaque stencil of the same size as the positive film. The film thus formed is passed through a suitable dye and pressed in correct register into contact with the kinematograph film to be coloured. In the machine shown the film e to be coloured and the printing-film f, pass over rollers b, c and opposed intermediate platens d, which are mounted on yokes y pivoted on the shafts g of the rollers c mounted in bearings in brackets h<1>. The yokes y are connected at the top by a toggle k carrying a roller k<1>, an adjustable spring in tension, and a spring l in compression.

Abstract: 4707. Merrell, I. S., and Merrell-Soule Co. Feb. 24. Spray evaporators.- Liquid is dried by air in a desiccating-chamber, part of the resulting powder remaining in this chamber and part being received in alternate or successive collecting - chambers which, when not collecting, discharge the powder to a receptacle which also receives that from the desiccating- chamber, a uniform product being obtained. As shown, a reservoir 1 receives liquid delivered from a concentrator by a pump 3, or by gravity feed from a dialysing- vat 4, and passes it to a spray-producer 7 to which a pump 10 supplies air, which is heated in its passage through a chamber 11. The liquid is thus sprayed into the chamber 9, wherein it is evaporated by large volumes of hot air delivered by a blower 14 and heater 13 through an opening 8 in the chamber wall. Part of the dried product falls on the floor of the chamber and is removed by scrapers 65 carried by a chain conveyer, to a trough 66 in which operates a screw conveyer carrying the product through the discharge outlet. The chamber is divided at the further end into a pair of bolting-chambers, each containing a series of inverted bag filters 29 into which the air passes through openings at the bottom. The chamber is provided with an horizontal diaphragm 18 within which are openings 24, 25 adapted to be closed by valves 26, 27; above this diaphragm it communicates through a pipe with an exhauster 23. A vertical oscillatory shaft 30 is arranged within each group of filters and is provided with a radially - arranged series of rings 31 adapted to shake them, so that the powder falls to the bottom of the chamber.
