Abstract: 9919. Frankignoul, E. July 18, 1910, [Convention date]. Piles; piles, driving. - A series of telescopic pile shells 1, 2 are formed with outer collars 4 at their upper ends and inner collars 5 at their lower ends, the former engaging with the latter to draw the upper sections down. Upon the lowest collar or seat rests the upper portion of a plug 8, u p o n which acts a monkey 9. A rod 10 passes through t h e monkey and plug, and when an obstacle is met the rod 10 is first driven in advance of the plug in order to act as a guide. The plug may be divided into two parts with a wooden cushion between which serves to prevent water from gaining access to the inside of the shell. When the desired depth is reached,- the rod 10 and plug 8 are removed, concrete is poured in and rammed by means of a rammer having a conical lower end so as to cause the concrete to spread and produce a wide sole. More concrete is poured in and the ramming repeated, the shell being gradually removed. Tied longitudinal reinforcements are inserted in the concrete when sufficient footing has been made, and, in order to allow of ramming in this case, the rammer is pierced so that it slides over the rods.

[Addition to 5214/09.] Adding - apparatus ; controlling printing of z e r o s. - Relates to means whereby the printing of the ciphers of the rows of keys to the right of the lowest row in which a numeral key has been depressed is effected when the main handle is operated. When a key is depressed, a corresponding lever 49 is raised and thereby by means of a pin 435 resting on the l e v e r an additional lever 433 is raised to release the sliding block 50, which is moved until it is arrested by the end of the depressed key. The levers 433 are also provided with fingers 436 which extend to the right and below the next lever 433, so that the movement of a lever raises those to the right to allow the block 50 to slide forward until arrested by the lever 49, and thereby move the type-wheels from the blank to the zero-printing position. The actuating-sectors 52 are withheld from engagement with the totalizer wheels while the type-wheels are moving to the zero position by providing the ends of the engagement-producing sectors 70 with bevelled portions x. Differential mechanism; printing-mechanism. -The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also means whereby the actuating-parts for the numeral disks are maintained in engagement therewith until the rearward stroke of the operating-handle has been completed, and are then forcibly disconnected therefrom to enable said parts to resume their normal position. This engagement is effected by providing the cam-surface of the sector 70 with an extension 401 on a separate arm 400 which arrests the roller 69 and holds it up until the end of the stroke. Means are also described whereby an invariable force is exerted to actuate the printing-mechanism and a device is employed to throw out of action the said mechanism. The frame carrying the typewheels is mounted on a shaft 414, the rotation of which, to effect the printing, is controlled by a spring-controlled arm 420 and an arm 415 having a roller engaging a cam of special construction on the main spindle. The printing- mechanism is put out of action by means of a lever 429 adapted to engage a pin 431 on the printing-frame. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
