Abstract: 768. Rooy, A. L. de. Jan. 11. Transferring designs.-In a process for transferring designs to stone, wood, glass, canvas, iron, earthenware, &c., the design is first produced by printing or other means on paper which is then covered with molten sulphur. After the sulphur is set, the paper is moistened and removed, leaving the design on the sulphur backing. The design, after treatment with oil or other greasy substance, is coated with a mixture of gelatine, glycerine, and water which is allowed to dry, and finally removed from the sulphur slab with the design adhering thereto. The gelatine-glycerine film is then placed design upward on the article to te decorated, which has been previously coated with the gelatine solution.

Abstract: 6535. Barnard, T., and Edwards, G. C. March 15. Electro-magnetic actuation; retarding-devices. -In a motor-control system, operated by pushbuttons, the motor-controlling switch is lifted electro - magnetically step-by-step to start the motor, or to increase its speed, and is allowed to fall, under dash-pot control, to lower the speed, or to stop the motor. The movable member M, 8 of the switch is carried by a plunger K having racks K' at each side and an adjustable collar P. This plunger is supported in its lowest position by an internal collar L', which rests upon an oil-tube J supported by a pin J<2> fixed to the base. A rod L is attached to the collar L<1> and carries a perforated collar L', sliding in the tube J, with which a loose disk L<5> co-operates. The minimum clearance between this disk and the collar L' is adjustable to vary the effect of the dash-pot so constituted. Two solenoids B', fixed to the switch base, operate in unison upon two pawls 10<2> pivoted in a sleeve R<2> loose upon the plunger K. These pawls are brought into engagement with the racks K<1>, and are lifted, carrying the plunger with them, when the solenoids B' are energized. The plunger is retained in any raised position by pawls C', pivoted to a block Q fixed to the switch base, but coupled to a rod, which may be lifted by a solenoid C to remove them from the racks K' to allow the plunger to descend. Push-button switches. - The construction of the push buttons used in connexion with this motor controller is shown in section in Fig. 8. Spring plungers 10<7>, 10<8> are secured in metal terminals 103 fixed to an insulating base and a metal-faced spring plunger T<2> of insulating- material, mounted in a cover plate, is adapted to connect the two terminals when depressed.

Abstract: 6861. Haile, C., Nixey, G., and Rake, A. T. March 18. Monogrammic signs ; transparency signals. - Relates to advertising signs and announcement apparatus of the sort in which electric lamps mounted on a board are controlled by a switch for energizing them in various group combinations to form numerals, letters, &c. The controlling-switch is in the form of a simple or compound disk with radial series of raised segmental contacts on each face co-operating with two rows of fixed contacts connected to the lamps. Each face of the disk is divided into two or more sections, which are identical as regards the arrangement of their contacts. The disk may be rotated continuously or intermittently, and is scalloped round its periphery to engage a spring-pressed roller which holds it in the position to which it has been moved. For announcing music hall " turns," signs are mounted at.both sides of the stage and may be wired to a single controlling-switch, or there may be a switch disk for each sign, the disks being rotatable by shafts and bevel - gearing from a single controlling-handle. The controlling-handle or the switch handle itself may, as shown in Fig. 8, comprise a contact 38, 40 for opening the circuit of the lamps as long as the handle is gripped. Supplementary indications, '' Extra," " Deputy," &c. may be exhibited by an internally - illuminated polygonal drum mounted over the lamp board and rotated by shaft gearing or by a ratchet device operated by hand or otherwise.
