Title: Improvements in or relating to dolls, puppets, toy animals and the like
IPC: A63H3/40
Filed: 1947-04-17
Abstract: 623,238. Doll's eyes. CASCELLOID, Ltd., SENIOR, H., and HUGHES, M. V, April 17, 1947, No. 10218. [Class 132(iii)] An independent eye mounting comprises a bifurcated member between the spaced links of which an individual " sleeping " eye element is pivotally mounted, the said member being adapted, to be fixed within the hollow head of a doll so that the eye fits into the eye socket provided, Thus the two eyes are entirely independent. Conveniently the bifurcated member is U-shaped and has two arms attached to it by means of which it is attached to the head: The eye consists of a cup-like globular or similar hollow, body or shell in the back of which there is a hole ; and movement of the eye is restricted preferably by a tongue extending from the bifurcated member into this hole so as to determine the limiting positions of the eye. As shown the doll's head 1 is moulded in a hard or rigid material such as cellulose plastic. The eye 2 is moulded from plastic by an injection moulding process with an opening 4 into which is put a lens 5 made of clear celluloid or like cellulose product, at the back of which is placed a disc 6 of paper or similar material, printed to represent the iris and pupil. An eyelid 9 moulded from plastic and eyelashes 14 are secured to the top of the  eye. Eye elements of this type are described in Specification 534,706. The eye, which is biased by weights of lead, 11 and 11<SP>1</SP>, is mounted on a pivot pin 12 so that the forwardly projecting tongue 15 projects into the opening 8, controlling the movement of the eye by coming in contact with the top of the shell or the weight 11.

Title: Electrically-controlled means for operating a drop-head of a motor-car body
Inventor: ORR JOHN HEWITT
IPC: B60J7/12
Filed: 1952-04-24
Abstract: 718,637. Hydaulic machines. CARBODIES, Ltd. Feb. 24, 1953 [April 24, 1952; Sept. 5, 1952; Jan. 26, 1953], Nos. 10289/52, 22330/52 and 2150/53. Class 69 (2). [Also in Group XXXVII] The drop-head frame member 21 of a motor vehicle is driven from an electric motor 25 through a telescopic device 27a which can either be a screw-type jack or a hydraulic piston and cylinder arrangement supplied by a hydraulic pump driven from the motor. An extension 22 of the frame operates limit switches 90, 91, for stopping the motor at the end of its travel in either direction. For raising the head, a pushrod is actuated to close the motor circuit, the push-rod being held in its operative position by means of a detent (see Group XXXVII). When the drop-head reaches the fully erected position, it closes the limit switch 90 to energize a solenoid for raising the detent and allowing the push-rod to be returned to the non-operated position. In a further arrangement involving the use of a motor-driven hydraulic pump, closure of a manual switch energizes the motor and a solenoid for a valve controlling the, supply of fluid to a cylinder forming part of the lifting and lowering apparatus. The operation of a relief valve, under the increased hydraulic pressure due to the drophead reaching an extreme position and resisting the effort of the hydraulic means, actuates a switch for energizing the winding which releases the detent; Figs. 11, 12 (not shown). In a modification, the apparatus for moving the drop-head is controlled by two solenoid-operated valves selectively energized by manual switches. The selected actuation of a manual switch energizes a self-maintaining relay for closing a circuit through the motor and through the winding of the appropriate solenoid-operated valve for actuating the hydraulic means in the desired direction. The operation of the relief valve at the end of the drop-head movement opens the circuit of the selected relay to de-energize the motor and the selected solenoid-operated valve. The switch controlled by the relief valve may be either of the normally-open or normally-closed type, Figs. 13, 14, 15 (not shown).

When a single flexible bag 7 is provided, the other spray material fills the outer container 1 (Fig. 7). The spray materials may be mixed before being delivered from a single Venturi nozzle, Figs. 7-11, or, alternatively, they may be sprayed separately in converging jets, from separate nozzles in a single spray head (Figs. 1-6, not shown: see parent Specification 1325711). On depressing the spray head 120, high pressure gasket 11 and low pressure gaskets 14, 15 are opened and the interior of the container is vented through gap 39. The spray materials thus flow in the same way and from the same kind of bag 7 or bags 6, 7, as in Specification 1241333. In Fig. 7, the spray materials are mixed in chamber 122 and the mixture flows to Venturi nozzle 125, through duct 129. In Fig. 9, the spray materials are delivered separately to the neck 125a of the Venturi, so that, as they are mixed, they are simultaneously atomised.
