Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 17,635. Doddrell, T. Aug. 3. Alarm and like mechanism.-A device for indicating the expiration of the time allowed for a telephone call comprises an indicator arm D and cam C rigidly fixed to a roller B, which is capable of frictional engagement with a wheel A revolving with the centre wheel of an ordinary clock. Engagement is brought about by depressing the rod H, whereupon the lever E pivoted at K causes the cam C to travel over the fixed pin I, thus turning the roller B into the position shown in Fig. 2. On releasing the rod H, the roller comes into contact with the wheel A, and slowly revolves until free; the arm D then drops back upon the pin G. Several levers H and rollers B may be applied to one wheel A.

Mines, marine. - Relates to submarine mines of the kind that are set in pairs and connected by a flexible connexion which causes the mines to swing inwardly and engage the sides of a ship when the ship encounters the connexion. According to the present invention, each mine casing 1, Figs. 1 and 5, is provided on its exterior with a spiral flange 2, one mine having a right - hand spiral and the other a left-hand spiral, so that the mines rotate as they are drawn through the water, and when they engage the hull P, Fig. 4, of a ship S they rotate in opposite directions and travel downwards to the vulnerable positions A, B before they are fired. A further feature of the invention comprises a delay-action device for firing the mines. A reel 32, Figs. 5 and 6, is mounted on a rotatable hub 14, the free end of the cable being connected to a drag 34, and the other end to an arm 28 pivoted in the hub 14 and provided with a stop 29 which normally holds back a firing-pin 17.
