Abstract: 7571. Miller, F. R., and Millergraph Co. March 31. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces; negatives, producing by means other than by photography. -Relates to the production of a combined screen and base on which negatives are made by hand or mechanical means, which negatives perform a two-fold function, namely that of a negative and that of a screen, and are more especially applicable for making half-tone printing-surfaces. A sheet of celluloid or other relatively soft but tough material is formed with a series of tapering or pyramidal-shaped projections. A coating of ink is applied to the apexes of these projections and a coating of translucent material such as a solution of shellac containing red colouring-matter is applied to the whole surface. The coatings at the apexes are then removed by rubbing with a rag soaked in turpentine leaving a series of light openings. The negative can then be made by tracing and with an air brush, or by scraping away the projections and producing openings of variable diameter in accordance with the light and shade of the picture to be reproduced. Component colour negatives for colour printing are similarly made.

Abstract: 11,774. Olsson, C. M. T. May 20. Air and gas h e a t i n g f u r - naces.-Relates to apparatus of the kind in which a falling stream of solid bodies, such as sand, is heated by hot gases, the heat of the sand being afterwards transferred to the air or gas to be heated. The furnace shown comprises a shaft A divided by a partition B into upper and lower compartments C', C<2> provided with c h e q u e r work bricks D, tapered on their upper sides, by which the falling sand is to a certain extent impeded. The partition B is provided with a hopper having a valve E<1> to control the flow of the sand. The sand which is fed in at the top of the chamber C' by the screw conveyer F<4> is heated by hot gases entering at G and leaving at G<1>. The air or gas to be heated enters the chamber C<2> at H and leaves at H<1>. A quantity of sand is maintained in the hopper arranged in the partition B sufficient to form a seal between the upper and lower chambers. The sand is removed from the bottom of the chamber C<2> by a screw conveyer F and returned by conveyers and an elevator to the top of the chamber C<1>. Instead of sand, products of the electric furnace such as carborundum, silundum, alundum, &c. may be used as the heat-transferring medium. The sand may be heated by waste gases from another furnace, or by fuel burnt in the lower part of the chamber C'. If liquid or gaseous fuel is used, a separate combustion chamber may be employed.

Title: Improved Process of Manufacturing Plain and Embossed Sheets from Pulp and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: WARREN LYMAN EDDY
IPC: D21G9/00

Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 25,942. Warren, L. E. Nov. 12. Cylinder paper-machines; cylinders and drums; drying; suction apparatus.-In the manufacture of plain and embossed paper and the like, and in drying the material, a web of pulp is taken from a vat 10 by a roller 13 and transferred successively to a series of rollers 23, 27. The rollers, which are suitable for very high vacuum and may be used as compressing or squeezing rolls, have a covering consisting of fine wire-gauze or equivalent material supported by an inner layer of perforated sheet material. Gauze may be discarded, and perforated metal of suitable thickness used alone. The rollers have radial partitions 16 and are mounted on hollow trunnions 14 having partitions 15, Fig. 7, and the lower part of the trunnion is connected to an exhaust chamber 21, the suction of which causes pulp to accumulate in the lower part of the cylinder. The upper part is connected to an airpump 25, and by co-operating with certain radial passages, blows off the web on to the next roller, the lower part of which is under suction, while the upper part receives steam from a boiler 31, a burner 34 being used for superheating. Superheated steam blows the web on to the roller 27, the lower part of which is exhausted so that the superheated steam from the roller 23 passes through the paper web into the suction part of the roller 27 and, in doing so, helps to dry the web. Hot air from the coil 28 assists in the drying. Fig. 5 shows rollers having coverings suitable for making deeply embossed sheets. Where deep concavities are formed in the web, the concavities must have sides rounded down, as shown in Fig. 4, and the slots in the perforated metal so directed that the web will leave them easily. With concavities formed as shown in Fig. 3, with sides at right-angles to the path of the web, the perforations are opened out at the end, so that the pulp forced into the perforations by suction or pressure will leave the perforations easily.

Abstract: 13,969. Wade, H., [Typograph Ges.]. June 9. Assembling matrices.-In machines having matrix-bars guided on wires, three-face matrixbars are assembled by means of an inclined plate which is shifted into their path to bring the intermediate matrices into use, the plate being raised with the matrix-bars upon it to bring the lowest matrices into use. When the uppermost matrices are in use, the matrix-bars travel with their lower ends upon a bevelled face 45, Fig. 1, of the matrix-clamping bar 43. When the intermediate matrices are required, the machine is thrown into gear in known manner by depression of the coupling-rod 5, whereby a pin 11, Fig. 2, is moved by a lever 9 into the path of the matrix-bars. The coupling-rod is then turned so that a cam upon it acts through a slide 12 and levers 16, 17 to project an inclined plate 21 into the path of the matrix-bars. To bring the lowest matrices into use, the coupling-rod is rotated farther and acts through a slide 26 to push a nose 38 on a lever 34 under the end of the lever 17, which is pivoted on the lever 16. The lever 34 is rocked at each depression of the space-key 2 and acts through the lever 17 to raise the plate 21 with the matrix-bars upon it. In a modification, a special key is provided for connecting the lever 17 with the space-key. Specifications 16,860/07 and 3308/10 are referred to.

Pairs of planetary bevel-gears 38, 39 meshing with loose bevel-gears 12, 41 and 16, 42, respectively, are mounted on a shaft 40, which crosses at right-angles and is secured to a driven shaft 13. A driving-shaft 15 in line with the shaft 13 carries a member 1 with clutch members 4, 5 normally thrust out by springs 28 into positive clutch engagement with members 10, 9, respectively, secured to the gears 16, 12. The members 4, 5 are adapted to be withdrawn from engagement by electro-magnetic action when coils 18, 17 are energized. When no current passes, the gears 16, 12 are clutched to the shaft 15 and the solid high-speed drive is produced. The gears 16, 42, 41 are provided with movable brake members 29, 45, 46 adapted to be held against rotation when coils 30, 33, 49, respectively, are energized.
