Abstract: 10,052. Dennison, W. N. April 26, 1909, [Convention date]. Tone-arms and tone-arm joints; trumpets, supporting; pneumatic sound-boxes.-In a talking-machine having a pneumatic sound-box, the air supply is conducted to the sound-box by way of a pipe parallel with the tone-arm, through a hollow pivot which also forms the tone-arm pivot, and through the hollow bracket supporting the tone-arm and trumpet. Compressed air from a rotary compressor 54 within the casing 1 passes along a pipe 53, the hollow bracket 3, through opposite holes 51 into a hollow pivot 12, along a pipe 50 and into the sound-box 11 by way of a pipe 9, and escapes through a pipe 10 into the tone-arm 8 and trumpet 22. The tube 10 is adapted to turn in a bushing 31 carried by a sleeve 30 secured to the tone-arm 8, a nut 36 on one end and a flange 35 at the other forming bearings in the bushing 31. The tube 9 telescopes over the end of the tube 10. When the sound-box is in its operative position, holes 45 in the tube 10 register with holes 46 in the bushing 31 and permit the passage of the fluid supply from the pipe 50 and the hollow space between the sleeve 30 and bushing 31. At the same time a hole 40 in the tube 10 registers with the exit hole into the tone-arm 8. Thus by turning the tubes 9, 10 in the sleeve 30, the air supply is cut off. By having the holes 45 diametrically opposed, all friction in the bushing 31 is obviated. A partition 41 divides the inlet and exit parts of the tube 10. The horn 22 has a flange 23 which is supported in a ring 6 secured by screws 7 in a segmental bracket 5 forming part of the bracket 3. A detachable segmental plate 25 holds the horn in position.

Abstract: 23,823. Jouffret, H. V. J., and RenÚe, J. M. Oct. 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors.-The fuel-nozzle is placed in a separate chamber connected by two pipes to the induction pipe on either side of the throttle valve. The two pipes may be replaced by a single pipe opening above the throttle valve. With this arrangement, carburettors with a single nozzle give the same effects as multiplenozzle carburettors. The jet a, Fig. 2, is placed in a chamber b provided with an automatic air-valve i, and connected by two pipes h, e to the induction pipe d, the throttle valve of which is shown at g. The pipe h opens at a constricted portion c. The jet a may be below the level of the fuel in the float chamber. In a modification, the pipes e, h may form a siphon, the branches of which may be concentric, or the lower limb of the siphon may be adjustable to vary the height of the jet simultaneously with the movement of the throttle valve g. A constructional form is shown in Fig. 7, in which the throttle, shown at g, carries one of the pipes e, which is concentric with, and passes through, the other pipe h. These pipes contain the jets. In a further modification shown in Fig. 10, the pipes are replaced by a single pipe eh, and the air-valve i and a valve g in the pipe eh are controlled simultaneously, so that as one opens, the other closes. In a modification of this arrangement, the valve i is automatic, and the pipe eh opens at the centre of a cylindrical throttle valve in the induction pipe. Specification 11,742/09 is referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the following forms. The pipe eh opens at the constricted portion cf, Fig. 14 (cancelled), and the throttle valve g has a conical head and slides over a fixed portion y'. The conical head may be perforated to preserve equilibrium. In the form shown in Fig. 16 (cancelled), air enters at 2 and mixture leaves at d.
