Abstract: 11,622. Hitt, T. G. May 10. Pyrotechnics.-Relates to rockets provided with three charges, namely a propelling-charge, a second charge above which are parachutes, stars, or other signalling or displaying devices, and a third charge adapted to be ignited after the second charge. The invention comprises a body 3 having a bursting - charge 12 located between the propelling-charge 5 and the display or distributing-charge 16, and separated from the latter by a firmly-fixed plug 13 and from the propelling-charge by a plug 10 of quickburning material adapted to propel the rocket in an horizontal direction after the propelling- charge has burnt out. The distributing-charge 16 is ignited by a quick match 18. The plug 10 is indented at 11 so that the bursting-charge 12 may be ignited before the plug has burnt out, but after the distributing-charge 16. The explosion of the bursting-charge 12 destroys the body 3 and gives a whirling motion to the stick 9 about its longitudinal axis, causing it to maintain an horizontal position during its fall. The invention further comprises fireworks 20 on the stick fired during the fall of the stick by a fuse 21 ignited by the bursting-charge 12.

Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 28,748. Lynde, F. G., and Calthrop, E. R. Dec. 10. Shaking and jigging machines; tamping-machines.-Concrete is tamped by a succession of blows delivered by loosely-mounted hammers either to the moulds, or to the concrete itself through a board or platen. In the form shown in Fig. 1, applicable for tamping concrete in situ, hammers k are loosely mounted on cranks i, which are driven by flexible shafting h. The blows are delivered to a block l on a platen c, and the shaft g is pressed against the work by a spring o. In another form, four radial shafts are driven from a central crown wheel and carry hammers at their outer ends; the intensity of the blows is regulated by springs under the casing. In another form, shown in Fig. 8 and applicable to moulds for beams and columns, the moulds are placed on tables t beneath which is a continuous shaft q provided with a series of cranks and hammers k. When the moulds are removed, the tables are lifted clear of the hammers by means of springs v. If the apparatus is driven by an electric motor, a contact device 4, Fig. 12, may be closed automatically by a push 2 when the apparatus is pushed against the work, or a contact may be provided upon the handle by which the machine is held.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Indicating Increasing or Decreasing Atmospheric and similar Pressures.
Inventor: SHORT HORACE LEONARD
IPC: G01L19/08

Abstract: 29,874. Short, H. L., Short, A. E., and Short, H. O. Dec. 23. [Cognate Application, 14,474/11.] Barometers.-An instrument intended chiefly for use on aerial vessels for indicating ascent or descent consists of a reservoir A containing air and having a flange B over which is a flexible membrane C acting through a balanced coupling D and a spring D' on a lever G. The end of this lever works between contacts H, J, the distance between which is adjustable by means of the screw K. The contacts are in the circuits of solenoids L, N so that, when the external pressure is reduced sufficiently for contact between the lever G and the contact H to occur, the rod L<1> is drawn into the solenoid L against the action of the spring L<2>, and a rod L<3> fixed to L' makes contact with the strip L<4> and completes the circuit of the lamp L<5>. The lighting of the lamp is thus a signal that the external pressure is decreasing. Further movement of the rod L' causes the rod L<3> to strike a pin M<1> on a disk M and thus revolve the disk until the aperture M<2> comes over the aperture M<3>: this puts the reservoir in contact with the atmosphere, the electrical contact at H being consequently broken so that the rod L<1> moves out of the solenoid L. When the diaphragm moves downwards, similar operations are performed through the solenoid N. In a modification, each end of the lever G works between a pair of contacts, one pair being for lighting the lamps as before, while each of the other two is connected to an electro-magnet which, when excited, lifts a valve in the reservoir. The lever is made flexible, and the distance between the magnet contacts is greater than that between the lamp contacts so that the lamps are lighted before the valve is lifted. In another modification, Fig. 5, there are two diaphragms C, C' and levers G, G'. The lever G moves between contacts H, J in the lamp circuits while the lever C' moves between contacts H, J in the circuit of an electro-magnet R<1> operating the valve M. In a further modification a single diaphragm operates a lever moving between a pair of contacts, each of which forms part of the circuit of an electromagnet. The electro-magnets are arranged one on each side of the bottom of a pointer, the motions of which consequently indicate whether ascent or descent is occurring. The motion of the pointer also operates a valve disk for putting the reservoir in connexion with the surrounding air.
