Inventor: LACHNER KARL
IPC: G03F7/00
Filed: 1909-11-22
Granted: 1910-11-22
Abstract: 27,076. Lachner, K. Nov. 22. Embossing.-In making the relief photographs an embossed representation is first modelled by hand from a photograph in a plastic material. This model is covered with oil, fat, or paraffin, and a gypsum mould made from it. The mould is covered with filter-paper, and a soft or liquid material such as a mixture of pumicestone and glue, which hardens to form a hard permanent backing, is poured on to the covered mould and pressed softly against it as it sets. When hard and set a print of the photograph on paper, silk, or the like is pressed on to the backing by a soft piece of felt pad until it adheres to it. A print on paper is first treated with hot water or steamed in order to loosen its fibres, so that, when it is being mounted, it will yield or relax to the reliefs and hollows of the backing.

Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 88. Leistler, A. Jan. 1. Night - latches. -In a night-latch of the type in which a doublelocking bolt is held in the withdraw position until the door is closed, the tumbler notches 5 in the bolt are bevelled to allow the bolt to shoot without the use of the key, and the retaining - means comprises a. pivoted lever 10 engaging a pin 12 on the bolt. The detent lever 10 is actuated by a spring bolt in the usual manner or by means of a rod 32 connected to a lever 30, the free end of which bears against a catch member 29 mounted in the top edge of the door and co-operating with a striking-plate 16 in the door frame. The striking-plate 16 is pivoted, so that it operates the catch 29 to actuate the detent mechanism when the door is closed, but allows it to pass freely when the door opens. A similar striking-plate is provided for the spring bolt when that form of construction is used. A cam-piece 37 pivoted on the pivot of the lever 10 is employed to place the detent mechanism in an inoperative position. A pin 39 on the cam passes through a slot in the casing and is engaged by a lever 42 pivoted on the outside of the casing. By means of a tool inserted through the edge of the door and adapted to catch into a hook 43 pivoted to the lever 42, the cam 37 can be turned, the pin 38 thereon then lifting the lever 10 out of engagement with the pin 12 on the bolt, and at the same time the edge 40 of the cam bearing against the bolt spring 15 and rendering this inoperative. The parts are held in this position by the hook 43 engaging a fixed ledge 46 on the casing, as shown in full lines in Fig. 10. In the usual form of detentreleasing mechanism, a pin inserted through the releasing bolt and the casing to hold this bolt in the withdrawn position, and a pin inserted to hold the main bolt-spring inoperative, effect the same object. The tail of the bolt is forked, the tumbler 4 being mounted within the fork and engaging notches in each branch. Latches, preventing operation of. - A plate 21 mounted on the outside handle spindle 20 of the ordinary latch, extends down to the keyhole and prevents the operation of the latch and therefore the opening of the door should the key be left in the keyhole on the outside.

Filed: 1910-10-19
Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 24,253. Droitcour, M. A. Oct. 19. Printing-surfaces such as electrotype shells are given gradations to obviate the use of an overlay by forcing the same by means of fluidpressure into contact with a positive underlay, the pressure being preferably applied to a molten backing, which sets and causes the printing - surface to retain the desired form. Backings may be attached in the same way to printing-surfaces with plane surfaces, a plane surface replacing the underlay. As shown, an electrotype shell S, Fig. 5, formed with margin spaces on which a frame C is placed, is placed upon a positive underlay U, and after molten metal or the like M is poured on the back of the shell it is pressed into contact with the underlay surface U by means of compresed air or other fluid introduced by a pipe p on a platen P, which forms an air-tight joint with the frame C. The surface S may be submitted to fluid pressure before applying the backing. The backing is preferably trimmed off after it has set with the surface S still in contact with the underlay, and the margins of the combined plate are trimmed off in the usual way. A celluloid or like backing may be employed.

Granted: 1912-01-24
Abstract: 1841. Blair, T. H. Jan. 24. Kinematograph apparatus.-The film-actuating mechanism is monnted in a casing a, Fig. 1, vertically adjustable on a table b, and takes the film from the magazine d and after passing it through the apparatus rewinds it on a drum in the magazine e. The rewinding is controlled by the tension of the film c, which is carried round a pin j in one arm of a bell-crank lever k. The other arm of the lever k carries a pulley l by which the tightness of the belt m is varied. An increased tension in the film moves the lever k and checks the winding. The film passes through the apparatus under the action of the continuously rotating sprocket-wheel 12, Fig. 9, and the intermittently rotating sprocket-wheel 13. This latter wheel is mounted on the shaft 15 having also on it a wheel 16, Fig. 11, with equally-spaced radial slots 17 and notches. Mounted on a parallel shaft 21 is a cam-groove disk 20 carrying a pin 22 by which the wheel 16 is rotated. The disk 20 also operates a lever 23 having a locking-pin 24 adapted to engage the peripheral notches and retain the disk motionless during the projection of the picture. To facilitate the insertion of the film, the sprocket-wheel 12 and the roller 32 are mounted in a movable frame 33 supported on rods 34, 35, so that they may be moved away from the roller 31 and the sprocket-wheel 13 respectively. The movement is effected by the lever 40 actuating the rod 38 as shown. Film-centring is effected by adjusting the height of the casing a by the levers s on the shaft t actuating a pin r on the spigot p. In addition the lens mount y and the film aperture w are connected so as to slide together under the action of the rack 2 and sector 3. This latter adjustment is effected independently of the former. Flickering of the picture on the screen is obviated by a shutter 5 having four blades, one pair being of different width from the other and arranged so that one of the wider pair of blades obscures the picture during movement of the film and one of the narrower pair of blades obscures the picture for a portion of the time the film is at rest. Firing of the film is minimized by providing the film-magazines f, Fig. 4, with a trough h pivoted to the barrel of the spool and fitted inside the same. A pivoted cover i over the trough h forms a tunnel through which the film in constrained to pass.
