Title: Improvements in the Production of Fast Gray to Black Shades, or Printings, on Vegetable Fibre.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: D06P1/36
Filed: 1912-07-24
Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 17,272. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. July 24. Printing.-Grey to black shades are produced on vegetable fibre by printing on a mixture of a quinizarin sulphonic acid and a chromium salt, and then steaming. If an inorganic chromium salt is employed, action of the mineral acid on the fibre should be avoided, either by addition of a compound which fixes mineral acid, for instance, sodium acetate, or by using such quantity of the chromium salt, say the fluoride, that the fibre is practically unattacked. According to an example, the material is printed with a paste containing the sodium salt of the sulphonic acid produced by sulphonating quinizarin, chromium acetate, formic acid, and acetic acidstarch-tragacanth thickening, and is then steamed. Directions are given for making up the acetic acid-starch-tragacanth thickening. Any other quinizarin sulphonic acids may he used. Specification 7892/12 is referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to a Chemical Process for Engraving on Metal Cylinders in Intaglio or in Relief.
Inventor: DUMONT MAURICE
IPC: B41C1/18
Filed: 1912-09-21
Granted: 1913-10-21
Abstract: 21,526. Dumont, M., and Moor, L. de. Sept. 21. Etching.-In a process for etching designs in intaglio or relief on printing-cylinders of copper, brass, zinc, aluminium, steel, &c., the design is produced on the cylinder in a greasy ink by transferring or other method. The design is powdered over with colophony or lime and the cylinder treated with a weak solution of acid to remove all trace of grease. The cylinder is then coated with a solution of fish glue sensitized by means of a bichromate or other medium. The coating is dried in a dark-room, and after exposing to light, is flooded with water. The roller is then immersed in turpentine which removes the design and with it the emulsion on the design, and finally leaves the metal bare in these parts. The remaining coating is heated to render it acid-proof, and the roller is etched in acid. The design to be produced on the roller may be drawn on stone or zinc and the design printed in greasy ink on paper or sheet gelatine and transferred by pressure on to the roller. In a modification, the design may be reduced by photographic means from a drawing or the like, and the design printed from a photographic positive or negative plate in greasy ink on to a suitable sheet and transferred on to the roller, which is then etched. Specifications 2264/82, [Class 101, Printing other than letterpress &c.] and 27,165/10 are referred to.

Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 17,338. Kiparski, A. July 28. [Addition to 18,862/11.] Tickets, issuing ; registering number of. - In apparatus of the type described in the parent Specification and in Specifications 25,675/10 and 8058/13, the descent of the ticket lowers a bellcrank lever 8, Fig. 1, to which is connected an armature 17<1>, and completes the circuit of a magnet 12 through contacts 50, 51, the lever 8 being thereby retained in the retracted position. When the ticket has been withdrawn, the finger L is moved by the spring 9<a> to block the ticket exit, and spring arms C are moved to engage contacts 13, 14 and so energize a magnet 33 when the brush 29 and corresponding segments 28<1> are in engagement. The consequent attraction of the armature 36 closes the circuits at 47 of the individual counter A<1> and of the totalizing- counter, the circuit for which is not shown, and breaks the main circuit at 39, thus returning all parts to their initial positions. In a modification shown in Fig. 2, a manually-operated device is provided for issuing the tickets comprising two levers 60, 52, the first of which carries a spring-pawl 59 adapted to engage a projection 58 on the lever 52 and cause a springs controlled arm 53 to move up the outer of two grooves 55, 64. Toward the end of the upward movement, a pivoted piece 61 is moved aside and the arm 53 is directed in its downward movement into the groove 64 to withdraw a ticket from the box, a weighted arm 62 serving to hold the piece 61 in a position to close the groove 55. Downward movement of the ticket forces in a bell-crank lever 8, and thereby closes the circuit of a magnet 69 through a contact 67. The movement of the armature 63 completes a second circuit through the contacts 70, 68<a>, the magnet remaining energized when the ticket is withdrawn and the lever 8 is returned to its initial position. The arm 62 is held in the raised position by the armature, so that the passage 64 remains closed during the time the magnet 69 is energized. The release of the lever 8 causes it to close, through a contact 66, the circuit of the magnet 33, the counters being actuated as described above. To allow full time for the actuation of the counters, the interruption of the main circuit may be delayed by the introduction of a relay by connecting the arm 36 resiliently to a second arm 36<1> adapted to engage a contact 72, so that prior to the contacts 39, 36 being opened a circuit E, 72, 36<1>, 33, h, 28<1>, 29, 30, E is closed and the armature 36 thereby held in contact with the contacts 46, 47 as long as the brush 29 is over the segment 28<1>.
