Patent GB-190212631-A (GB)
Inventor: CORDEAUX WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-06-03
Granted: 1902-07-03
Abstract: 12,631. Cordeaux, W. June 3. Copying documents etc.; type-writers.-Relates to improvements in methods and apparatus for producing relief printing-surfaces from sheets of tinfoil, and printing copies therefrom, as described in Specifications No. 18,835, A.D. 1888, No. 13,676, A.D. 1894, and No. 15,377, A.D. 1898. Pure tinfoil is employed, weighing 0À1 lb. per sq. foot. When producing the printing-surface in a type-writer, the tinfoil is attached by means of soap to a backing- up fabric known in the trade as "double waterproof sheeting." Doublesheets of tinfoil, fastened together with soap, may be used either in the type-writer or for writing with an agate style or hard pencil. Fig. 3 shows a sheet B of tinfoil placed on a glass plate A Just below the line of writing the tinfoil is gripped between two narrow strips D of rolled steel, of which the lower strip is of <4>/1000 in. gauge. This slightly raises the foil above the glass plate, and enables the agate style to produce a sharp negative in relief. Fig. 1 shows the complete apparatus and accessories, which comprise the inking-roller G, ink tin H, palette knife K, style S, block of wood L for flattening the foil, brush P, steel strips D, and glass plate E for bevelling the surface of the raised type or written matter on the foil. A wooden board N carries the glass plate A. After the foil has been indented by the style, it is reversed and caused to adhere to the glass plate by slightly wetting the glass with soap and water and brushing the foil down on to it. The surface is levelled with the glass plate E, and the steel strips F are then turned down by the handle X to form tracks on which the inking-roller rests as it is passed over the raised letters on the foil. If the sheet of foil is a small one, the strips F<1> may be used instead of the strips F. The strips F<1> are adjustable along the wire W, to which they are attached, as shown in Fig 6, by means of split brass tubes or clips R. The printing-surface having been inked, the paper is placed on it, and a rubber-covered zinc plate Z is turned over on to the paper. The roller is passed over the upper side of the zinc plate, which serves as an ink-distributing surface. The zinc plate is thin or pliable so as to transmit the pressure to the paper, which is damped before use. The composition which is moulded on the stock of the roller G should not exceed <1>/16 inch in thickness. The roller stock is of brass tubing with brass ends. Printers' ink or mineograph ink may be employed.

Abstract: 18,961. Sayer, R. C. July 18. Spring wheels; felloes or rims; hubs; spokes; tyres, pneumatic.- Relates to wheels which may be expanded or contracted while in motion or at rest by fluid, foot, or hand pressure. The wheel shown in Figs. 2 and 3 is formed like an umbrella, and has an elastic-tube tyre a confined between thin spring plates a<2> on the rim, which is connected by pivoted ribs c to annular bolts carried by collars on a hollow axle b. The ribs are pivoted at their outer ends to lugs d' on the upturned edges of the rim plates d, which have slots d<2> traversed by bolts a<3> on levers g pivoted to intermediate rim plates f and operated to contract or expand the rim by piston-rods e<4> of pistons working in double-acting cylinders e. A right and left handed screwthreaded shaft h is held in the hollow axle b by nuts h<2> and keys, so as to rotate with the cranks h', which are slotted to receive levers connected by links j<3> to double levers or keys k engaging slots in the shafts h and normally entering slots in the axle b. When the lever j is thrust laterally against the action of a spring l by the foot, the axle is released. Each of the axle bearings m, m<2> has a slot engaged by a key projecting from a ring n' with an annular slot engaged by the end of a link n' pivoted to the lever j, so that as the levers j are'operated the bearings are moved laterally and, with them, the rings to which the ribs c are pivoted. In a modification, the shaft h engages nuts connected to the rib collars by bolts engaging longitudinal slots in the hollow axle. Lock-nut straps pass through the nuts, and are connected to form a disc with teeth. This disc normally rotates with the axle and cranks, but may be locked to the bearing m by the link n<3> engaging its teeth. Alternate ribs may have fixed hinges and sliding hinged collars connected by intermediate ribs. The tyre, when at its greatest diameter, may be straight or convoluted, and may be riveted to serrated plates connected by ears to swivel bolts turning in ear plates to which the outer ends of the ribs c are pivoted. In a wheel not operated by pedals, the screw-threaded spindle h may carry a hand-wheel. In another modification, the wheel has telescopic spokes, one half of each spoke carrying a doubleacting piston working in a cylinder formed in the other half. The spoke and its pivot have ports leading to opposite sides of the piston and to two separate chambers in the hollow axle, the communication between which and the fluid-supply exhaust passages is controlled by a plug cock. The tyre and axle of a wheel may be connected by springs varied in length by cords, straps, or chains wound upon a central rod.
