UNITED STATES SHERARD OSBORN COWPER-COLES, OF SUNBURY-ON-TI-IAMES, ENGLAND.
MANUFACTURE OF COPPER PLATES FOR PROCESS-PRINTING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 14, 1920.
Application filed March 15, 1920. Serial No. 366,065.
T all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SHERARD OSBORN Cow- PER-CoLEs, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Rossall House, Thames street, Sunbury on Thames, MiddleseX, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in the Manufacture of Copper Plates for ProcessPrintin of which the following is a specification.
minute, over the surface of the cathode by means of vertical paddles placed at one or both ends of the vat. At the same time the cathode has imparted to it an irregular reciprocating and oscillating motion which continually varies in relation to the anode surface, the cathode plates being suspended by connecting rods attached to eccentrics, cranks or cams. The eccentrics, cranks or cams are connected together by means of belting or chains running over different sized pulleys, so that one eccentric, crank or cam is always gaining slightly on the other.
The copper solution is at the same time con tinually filtered by pumping it through a suitable filter bed or medium. Under these conditions a current density of 100 amperes, or more, per square foot of cathode, a surface can be employed without the formation of nodules.
In the accompanying drawing Figure l is a sectional side view of a suit-- able arrangement of apparatus for the manufacture of copper plates for process printing according to the invention.
Fig. 2 is a sectional end view and Fig. 3 is a plan of the same. 7
a is the vat containing the electrolyte and which is provided with a central longitudinal partition I) and an overflow trough c fitted with a pipe 03 leading to a suitable filtering apparatus (not shown); e are anodes suspended from bus bars f, f supported upon blocks 9, g on the edges of the vat a and partition I); h k are the vertical paddles located in chambers 2' i in the vat a provided with openings j, j for the passage of the electrolyte to and from the paddles which cause it to circulate rapidly over the surfaces of the cathodes 0, 0 the direction of flow being indicated by the arrows in Figs. 1 and 3. The paddles it are carried upon shafts k to which motion is imparted by means of bevel gear Z, shafts m and driving pulley 12-.
0, 0 are the-cathode plates which are held in frames p, p suspended by links 9, g from cranks r, r on shafts s s to which motion is communicated from the shaft m by means of pulleys t,-u, '0, 'w, and belts a and b the pulleys v and 'w on the crank shafts .9 being of slightly different size whereby the cranks at the two ends of the vat are driven at different speeds and consequently an irregular up and down and oscillatory motion is given to the cathode-frames p. The cathode plates 0 are' electrically connected by wires :1: to bus-bars 3 supported on transverse bars a on the vat a.
0 indicates the inlets for the copper solution pumped up from the filtering apparatus.
