Patent GB-190702291-A (GB)
Title: A Photographic Process for Transferring Designs and Inscriptions to Glass or Stone to be Engraved by Means of Sand Blast.
Inventor: FREY JOHANN HEINRICH
Filed: 1907-01-29
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 2291. Frey, J. H., and Frey, E. Aug. 31, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Sensitized plates; negatives, producing by hand; ornamenting by photography; printing.- Designs, inscriptions, &c. are applied to glass or stone by a photographic process, and engraved by a sand blast. A chromategelatin mixture comprising gelatin, white sugar, glycerin, ammonium bichromate, caustic ammonia, and water, in specified quantities is poured upon the surface of the plate, the film being rendered uniform by wiping off with a lath, or with the tool shown in Fig. 1 if the surface is not plane. This tool consists of a thin flexible blade a having teeth c formed preferably by wires d, as shown. The grooves formed by the teeth, the depth of which determines the -thickness of the film, close up after the tool has passed. The design is printed on the sensitive surface preferably from a wet collodion plate, developed in hot water, and toughened to render it sufficiently resistant to the sand blast by immersion in a bath of a gum and sugar or glycerin solution. Drawings to be coloured by this process are executed on tissue paper preferably rendered transparent by grape sugar, and are drawn in non-actinic inks consisting of a solution of glycerin and gum arabic saturated with an aniline colour, such as aurantia or orange red. The drawing or tracing so prepared is applied in the moist condition to the plate by a roller. From positive drawings &c., negatives may first be obtained as follows. A tracing is prepared in a light blue gum printing-ink, and dusted over with dextrin ; it is then stretched on a frame, sprayed over with an alcoholic solution of shellac and aniline colour as above, and finally developed in hot water. This causes the gum and dextrin on the lines of the.drawing to swell and burst off the shellac and its associated colouring-matter. On the addition of venetian turpentine, the shellac enters the paper, and yields a light-filter negative.

Title: Improvements in Circular Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: TOYODA SAKICHI
Filed: 1907-02-05
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 2845. Toyoda, S. Feb. 5. Circular looms.-The warps 14 pass upwards from warp beams 12, and are engaged by a fixed tightening-ring 15 and the outer edges of radially-movable segments 17, which are mounted on a ring 20 carried by a standard 6. Guided rods 23, attached to the segments, are moved outwards in succession against the action of springs by a cam 26 on a vertical shaft 3, which is driven by bevel-gearing from the driving-shaft 8, so that tension is put on those warps of which the shed is closed. The warps are crossed by lease-rings 29, 30, and pass upwards through the eyes of the healds 37, 38 and between the dents of a circular reed 63, the woven fabric being taken up by cloth beams. The beald frames are arranged circularly in pairs, and are mounted on actuating-rods 41, 42, of which the outer ends are guided in pivoted blocks 43 and the inner ends in movable vertical bars 46. The heald frames of each pair are connected by a strap 47 passing round a pulley 48 on the corresponding bar 46. A cam 49 on the shaft 3 is adapted to actuate the rods 41, 42, the upper and the lower of each pair of rods being actuated by the cam during alternate revolutions of the shaft 3. The change in the actuation of the rods is effected by the raising or lowering of the rods by means of the bars 46, of which each is connected to adjacent bars by means of yielding connexions. Each bar 46 is provided with a roller 53, which runs on the upper or lower surface of a disk 54 on the shaft 3, according as the bar is raised or lowered. A masterbar 46<a> is raised or lowered at each revolution of the shaft 3 by a cam 11 on the shaft 8, and as the bar 46<a> is moved, its roller 53<a> passes through a recess in the disk 54. As the recess comes opposite the rollers 53 of the successive bars 46, these follow the bar 46<a> into the upper or the lower position. The dents of the reed 63 are mounted in a circular frame, which is loosely mounted on the shaft 3 by means of a ball-and-socket arrangement. Rollers 69, 70, mounted on arms secured to the shaft 3, act upon a ring 68 on the reed frame, so that a gyratory motion is given to the reed frame, and the motions of the reed frame and healds are so timed that an open shed is formed by the warps passing through the depressed part of the reed. The shuttle is curved, and is provided with bottom and side wheels, the latter bearing against a flange 80 as the shuttle travels round the reed frame on the reed. The shuttle is caused to travel by gravity, and an arm 91, provided with a roller 92, is secured to the shaft 3, and follows the shuttle to thrust it forward if it should be accidentally stopped. The weft is beaten up by the raised part of the reed, and fixed guides 79 pass through slots in the reed frame to prevent rotary movement of the latter.

Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 12,465. Neumann, A. May 29. Surfacing and polishing.-In a machine for faceting hollow glass-ware, such as tumblers &c., the articles to be treated are clamped in a frame in proximity to the grinding-disk, and are adapted to be simultaneously fed forward to allow of fresh faces being treated, the mechanism that serves to grip the tumblers &c. also serving to operate the shifting-mechanism. The tumblers &c. G, Fig. 1, are held in a frame comprising concentric polygonal or circular frames b, c, connected by arms e and loosely mounted on an extension of the grinding- disk spindle a. The bottom of the tumbler is gripped between disks h, u, the former of which is carried by a bolt g loosely inserted in the iuner frame b, and the latter by a screw bolt t passing through a threaded nut k carried by the outer frame c. The nut k is mounted in bearings i inserted in recesses in the frame c and carries toothed wheels l, o, the teeth of the former of which engage a rack m running round the frame c. An adjustable stop p can be placed in engagement with the teeth of the wheel o to prevent rotation of the nut k while the disk u is fed forward to clamp the tumbler by turning the screw t. To rotate the tumbler to bring a fresh surface into position to be acted upon, a lock-nut y on the screw t is adjusted to make the nut k and wheels l, o turn with the screw, which is rotated through the necessary angle by a hand-wheel t<1>. This feeds the rack m forward through a number of teeth and causes the rotation of all the spindles on which the tumblers &c. in the frame are mounted. The face of the wheel l is graduated to facilitate adjustment. A clamping-plate v loosely mounted on the central spindle is pressed upon the tumbler by a suitable arrangement, and is lifted up when it is desired to change the position of the work. The grinding-disk, which is shaped according to the glass to be ground, may be arranged vertically. Water and sand are supplied to the working surface by suitable pipes.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Change-speed Hubs for Cycles
Inventor: SANGSTER CHARLES THOMAS BROCK
Filed: 1907-11-16
Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 25,413. Sangster, C. T. B. Nov. 16. Brakes; driving-mechanism.-Relates to threespeed hub gears for cycles, of the kind described in Specification No. 29,341, A.D. 1906, wherein the different speeds are obtained from a single epicyclic train by varying the connexions between the sprocket or driving wheel and the non-slidable annular wheel and planet-pinion cage by means of cams upon the slidable sun-wheel which control a system of pawl-and-ratchet clutches. According to the present invention, the sun-wheel m, provided at its opposite ends with clutch teeth or jaws, is arranged between two separate axle clutches g, i, so that the gear changes are effected by engaging either the one or the other end of the wheel with the corresponding axle clutch or by placing the wheel in an intermediate position clear of both clutches. As shown in Fig. 1, these clutches, which also serve as hearing-cones, are recessed at their inner ends and provided with internal clutch teeth j, k with which the opposite ends of the sun-wheel directly engage. The clutch g is slidably but non-rotatably mounted upon the axle, so that adjustment of the cone f effects the adjustment of the bearings d, c, h and, with a slight axial movement of the hub, the bearing e. When the long slidable sun-wheel is moved by a screw controlmechanism, such as is described in Specification No. 29,216A, A.D. 1906, the clutch member i may be used as a bearing as at o for the internallywormed sleeve n<1> to which the control cable is connected. For applying a back-pedalling brake located in the drum or recess at the sprocket-wheel end of the hub, the pawl carrier b and the sprocketwheel sleeve a, rigidly connected together, may carry ratchet teeth to engage a pawl upon a brake arm or lever ; or the carrier and sleeve may have an indirect connexion in the form of a laterallyshiftable clutch-piece such as is described in Specification No. 25,414, A.D. 1907. In lieu of locking the sun-wheel by the engagement of the ends of its teeth with recessed clutch cones, the righthand end of the wheel may be gapped or formed with clutch-jaws to engage a set of lugs or projections upon the axle, the left-hand axle-clutch being as before.

The carriage consists of two side plates 1, Fig. 2, to which top and bottom plates are secured, and some of the driving-wheels are carried on fixed axles 5, and others on axles carried in spring-pressed horn-plates so that the wheels are always pressed-against the conduitwalls a. The driving - wheels are tyred with rubber 10, 17, secured by annular plates, and one driving - wheel in each pair carries a ratchet-wheel 22, the corresponding pressure wheel being furnished with a ratchet-wheel 23 having teeth oppositely disposed to those on the wheel 22. The pawls 24, 25 are governed by a spring 30 and are kept in engagement with their respective wheels till freed on account of the tailpieces 75, 76 being moved by the frame 68, 69, Fig. 11. The members of this frame are shifted relatively to one another by the plate 77 striking an obstruction in the conduit so as to move it back and lock it on the supporting rods in engagement with the projecting end of the rod 69. When the pawls are freed, the wheels can turn in either direction and the device may be withdrawn. Each driving-wheel carries a loosely-mounted sprocket 31, with which a rack bar 32, attached to one end of the spring 57, engages, and a ratchet-wheel 35 is rigidly secured to each sprocket ; the lateral hubs of the pawls 38 are journaled in bearings in the adjacent driving-wheels. The thrust-bars 48 carry a head 50 supporting a guiding-wheel at the front end, and to this block is secured the other end of the spring 57. The bars 48 are secured to a block 44 pivoted on a cross-rod 45, and guide-whee's 82 ensure the guide-bars maintaining a true course. The head 50 carries a scraper 64, shown in detail in Fig. 10, and the rack-bar carries a brush, shown in.detail in Fig. 9. The device having'been placed in the conduit, with the wire or cord w attached to the clamp 66, the rack-bar is pulled by hauling on the wire w. As the frame cannot run backwards, the spring 57 is extended and the free-wheels overrun ; but, when the wire w is released the freewheels engage and the contracting spring moves the frame forwards ; the cycle of operations is then repeated.
