IAGHINE FOR DEVELOPING SENSITIZED PAPERS.
Application filed February 25, 1828. Serial No. 256,880.
This invention relates to apparatus for developing sensitized paper such as s used for the reproduction of drawings, pictures, maps, prints and other similar matters and things.
More particularly the invention relates to a machine for developing paper whlch has been sensitized with certain chemicalsun accordance with certain processes resulting in a sensitized paper which may be developed into nonfading positives after havmg been exposed to steam and the fumes of ammonia.
The object of the invention is to provide a machine of simple practical construction, arranged and designed, whereby sensitized paper may be exposed to or treated with steam and the fumes of ammonia so as to be developed into positive prints. a
To this end the invention is embodied in a paper developing machine arranged and constructed as hereinafter set forth and as illustrated in the accompanying drawing 1n which Figure 1 is a sectional view of a machine embodying the invention, and
Figure 2 is a plan view of the machine with parts broken away for the sake of clearness.
Referring to the drawing the reference numeral 3 denotes a suitable framework for supporting the several parts and elements of the machine. The framework may be made of wood or metal and assembled and arranged in any manner suitable for the .purpose.
The numerals 4, 5 and 6 denote paper feed rollers which are suitably mounted in bearings 7, 7. Over the rollers pass endless string or cords 8, Swhich support and convey the paper through the machine in the direction of the arrow 9. The cords or strings 8 constitute a belt for conveying the paper through the machine in such a manner that the least possible surface area of the paper 'is covered by said belt as is obvious.
In passing through the machine the paper with its sensitized surface downward passes over a steam tank 10 and an ammonia tank 11. The tanks extend from side to side of the machine and are suitably supported in the framework 3. The steam tank contains water which is heated by a gas burner 12. The ammonia tank is replenished from time to time with ammonia 13 in any convenient manner.
Above the tanks there is supported a rubher belt 14 which extends from side to side of the tanks and which is mounted on rollers 15, 15 journaled in suitable bearings 16, 16. The rubber belt cooperates with the strings 8 to feed the paper through the machine and keep it flat. The belt also serves as a cover for the two tanks insuring that the steam vapors and ammonia fumes are confined so at to act on the paper.
The machine is driven from any suitable source of power applied to a gear 17 on the driving roller 5. At the opposite end a belt 18 drives one of the rubber belt rollers 15, and the two rubber belt rollers are driven by another belt 19.
The edges of the tanks are rounded as at 28 to prevent cutting of the strings or cords 8, and the rubber belt rollers 15 are mount ed so as to compel the rubber belt 14 to pass downward slightly at each end of the ma-' chine to insure good closure on the tanks as shown. In each of the tanks there are mounted rods 20 and 21 over and under which the cords 8 are led alternately as shown in Figure 2. That is to say one cord passes over the rod 20 and under the rod 21. The next adjacent cord passes under 20 and over 21,and so on. This is done in order that all parts of the paper may be exposed to the action of the steam and ammonia.
For the protection of the workmen a hood 22 is placed over the machine to draw oil the ammonia fumes and steam which pass out through a draft pipe 23. The steam tank may have insulation 24 attached to the one side which faces the ammonia tank, and work tables 25 and 26 may be provided as a matter of convenience.
In operation, a negative is made in the usual manner by exposing a sensitized paper with an original. is placed with the sensitized surface own- Ward upon the cord belt 8 and fed into the machine where it passes over the steam in the tank 10 and over the ammonia tank 11, thereby being exposed first to the steam and then to the ammonia fumes. During the passage over the steam and ammonia fumes, the negative is developed and comes out at the other end of the machine between the rollers 15 and 5 as a positive with deep Thereafter the ne atlve .of the machine may be regulated to suit the local conditions and the paper. The rubber belt serves as a cover for the two tanks so that hardly any steam and ammonia fumes e apparatus is quick actlng, simple and eflicient in construction and operation, and permits the operator to work close by the machine without being subjected to otherwise obnoxious escape of the ammonia fumes.
The fact that the tanks are of a given suitabel size does not impair the efiiciency of the machine inasmuch as the time of expos'ure ma be regulated by the operating speed of t e machine.
