Abstract: 10,369. Gems, J. F. May 17. Lay-figure stands.-Relates to lay-figures mounted on telescopic pedestals and so arranged that the whole of each figure can be collapsed together or re-erected without removal of any of the parts. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the hollow body a contains a cross-piece a<1>, through which passes the central post. This post is made in three telescopic parts b, b<1>, b<2>, of which the part b is fixed relatively to the figure, while the part b<2> may be clamped by a screw b<3>, and is also provided with a suitable stop. The cross-piece a<1> is provided with a sliding catch a<2>, Fig. 3, which is pressed by a spring a<3> into the notches b<4>, except when pushed out by means of the sliding rod a<4>, the inclined nose a<5> of which enters an aperture in the catch. The skirt-stand c is provided with a tail -piece c<1>, Figs. 1 and 1 x, which is adjustable for use with a skirt with or without a train. The upper edge c<2> of the tailpiece is nearly straight and is freely suspended from eyes a<7> on the body, through which pass wires c<3>, attached at top and bottom to the tail-piece. The front part is similarly suspended, but always hangs vertically, and is provided with cross-wires c<4>, Fig. 1<x>, which carry a ring surrounding the central post. The two parts of the skirtstand are connected by sliding arms c<5>, c<6> and collars c<7>. The wires c<3> are bent as shown at the point c<8> for convenience in sliding the body inside the skirtstand. The eyes a<7> are carried by radial rods a<8>, Fig. 10, which slide in lugs a<4> depending from the body ; this arrangement prevents the formation of a ridge at the junction of the skirt and body. The skirt-stand is cut away as shown so as to give gaps c<9> which can accommodate the arms of the te'escoped figure. Fig. 5 shows a modified form, in which the body is divided into sections a<x>, and can be expanded by known means. The skirt stand in this case can be expanded or contracted as required by means of a rigid horizontal rod c<11> which slides on the converging rails c<10>. Figs. 7, 9, and 12 show modified forms of the telescopic post. In that shown in Fig. 7, two jaws b<9> are pivoted at b<10> and when horizontal grip the section b<8> of the post. The jaws are connected together by lugs b<11> and jointed rods to a ring b<11x>, from which a wire or rod extends up through the body and serves to turn the jaws to release the rod b<8>. In the form shown in Fig. 9, a spring b<6> terminating in a ring or hook b<7> serves instead of a catch ; while in that shown in Fig. 12 a lever b<12> is mounted on a hinge b<13> and is held in an inclined position by a spring b<14>, except when turned by the rod b<15> into a horizontal position to release the part b<1> of the post.

Scrubbers and washers.-Relates to a process and apparatus for purifying gases, particularly for separating solid particles, such as dust, soot, coal, cinder, and ashes from them. The process, in which the gas is intimately mixed with a washing- liquid by means of centrifugal action, is characterized by the gas and liquid flowing in the same direction. Disks a, b, carrying annular conical baffles a<1>, b<1>, arranged alternately as shown, are connected by bolts, and are rotated within a casing d by means of a belt pulley g. Gas drawn in by a fan h through the conduit i together with water introduced through the hollow shaft e are forced over a lower baffle and impinge against an upper baffle alternately, the purified gas finally passing away through pipes k, and the muddy liquid passing through an annular trough m and pipes to, say, a clarifier before re-use. The disks may be rotated separately with different velocities and in different directions. In a modification, conical disks a, b are employed. Other modifications are described in which the baffle rings are (1) cut off obliquely, as by an oblique plane, (2) provided with oblique slots, and (3) provided with teeth similar to a crown wheel. The upper baffles are sometimes provided with an annular groove g as shown in Fig. 6.
