Title: Expanding caravan
Inventor: SMITH PETER ROBERT
IPC: B60P3/34
Filed: 2007-08-10
Abstract: Expanding caravan, combining single or multiple internal rotating chambers, these when rotated through 180 degrees or some intermediate angle will increase the available living space without increasing the host caravan "foot-print" when in the contracted condition. The internal chamber has three distinct conditions, contracted (figure 7), transition (figure 8) and expanded. The transitory state is possible through the inclusion of a single or multiple vertically mounted pivot or pivot points comprising one or a pair of axles (figures 3 and 4). The chamber moves through an arc around these pivot[s], supported by a series of under floor mounted rollers (figure 5) and an associated under floor guide plate[s]. When the chamber is in its contracted condition it occupies recesses (figure 2) built into the floor and ceiling of the caravan. The expanding caravan would perform as a standard caravan with the chamber contracted, in its expanded condition additional living space would be available. A weatherproof seal (figure 6) may be provided between the caravan and the rotating chamber, and the chamber may be rotated manually or by means of an electric motor.

Title: Improvements relating to the recording and re-production of sound and associated pictures
IPC: G03B31/00
Filed: 1919-04-24
Abstract: 142,648. Drew, V. April 24, 1919. Sound magnifying and directing appliances.-A pear-shaped resonator having a series of trumpets inserted in its upper part, is connected at its smaller end to a phonograph tone-arm. The resonator and trumpets enclose a series of carbon rods, granular carbon chambers and metal disks, and an electric circuit passes from the stylus needle through the tone arm and the carbon &c. members to the horn mouths. Each horn is fitted with a sound-controlling valve which, when closed, disconnects the electric circuit for that horn. Fig. 1 shows one of the carbon apparatus, Fig. 2 shows the general arrangement of the machine, and Fig. 4 shows one of the sound-controlling valves. Each carbon apparatus comprises a central insulated tube containing metal rods P. On the tube are arranged a toothed metal disk A and a series of plain metal disks B<1> - - B<5>. Between the disks B<1>, B<2> are placed a carbon cup F containing granules E, and a carbon block D, a freely-vibrating metal disk G being interposed. Beyond the disk B<2>, a cylindrical gallery of carbon rods J is held between metal disks H', H<2>, and within the gallery is secured a metal cup K containing granules. Another metal cup L<1> containing granules has a perforated cover through which are passed a number of carbon rods M<1> having their upper ends secured in the base of a metal dome N<1>. The cup L<2>, carbon rods M<2>, and dome N<2> are similar to those described above. The central tube is attached to the base of a perforated cup C having a toothed rim. The carbon mechanisms are secured within the resonator V or the horns U by fitting the cup C tightly within the necks of these chambers. An electric connexion is made from a battery to the needle-holding clamp of the phonograph from which a circuit wire leads to the lower end of the carbon mechanism T within the resonator. From the upper end of this mechanism, wires R lead to each of the carbon mechanisms within the horns U, the outer ends of these mechanisms being connected to the battery. The positive side of the battery is connected to the needle for reproducing, and the negative side for recording. The neck of each horn contains a pivoted disk-valve b, Fig. 4, which is held closed by a spring j, and is opened by pulling a cord g which passes through a rubber neck e and over a pulley d to a controlling and indicating device k, Fig. 2. When the valve is open, it completes the electric circuit by bridging the ends of the wires as shown in Fig. 4. Air may be forced through the inlet tubes S at the top of the resonator V, when recording.
