Abstract: 16,051. Angel, J. W. Aug. 8, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Seats and seat backs, arrangement of. - The backs of the seats of carriages and wagons are adapted to be turned into a horizontal position so as to form couches for use in the transportation of invalids and for temporary camps ; the upper parts of the dashboards may also be turned down to form an extension of the couches. The seat backs 3, 3<1>, Figs. 1 and 2, are provided with a number of metal straps 4 formed at the bottom into loops which work over transverse rods 5 fixed to the carriage. The backs are held in the position for sitting by the hooked ends 14 of pivoted arm-rests 13 engaging with fixed pins 15, and, when in the horizontal position, rest upon shoulders 8 projecting from the seat supports, the lower ends of the straps 4 entering grooves formed between the seat bottoms and shoulders 5<1>. The rear seat back is further supported by fixed uprights 12, while catches 10 fixed to the front seat back 3 enter slots 11 formed in the rear seat 2<1>. The dash-board consists of two covered wire frames 17, 18, the lower of which is rigid and has its upper rail passing through loops formed on the upper portion 18 so as to form a hinge. The upper portion 18 is further provided with a stamped metal frame 22, Figs. 1 and 4, which provides sockets 23 through which bolts 21 can slide. The part 18 is retained in the vertical position by the entrance of the bolts 21 into sockets 20 fixed to the part 17, each bolt being held against longitudinal movement by a handle 24 fixed thereto being turned to engage the lower of two notches 25 in the frame 22.

Inventor: BRISCOE JOSEPH THOMAS
Filed: 1905-12-29
Granted: 1906-12-29
Abstract: 27,154. Briscoe, J. T. Dec. 29. Spray producers and spreaders.- The spreading- arms of moving distributors for sewage &c. are provided with slotted weirs or with perforated trays by means of which the liquid is sprayed as from a watering -rose. The slots are shorter and the perforations less numerous at the supply end of the arm, the trays being made taper. Fig. 2 shows an arm with a weir tray a having an upturned edge b pierced with slots c. A guide-plate e prevents jets of liquid from leaving the tray. Fig. 5 shows a rotary distributor with a fixed central supply pipe h, from which the liquid passes through openings i, being then directed downwards by guides k into the vanes of a turbine l. The rotary part is provided at the top with a ball race n<111>, and is supported on a coned bearing n which also forms a water-tight joint. Fig. 15 shows similar apparatus on which the joint is formed at points of continual contact x<111> on the cup - and - ball principle. The support for the lower ball bearings may consist of a loose ring resting in a socket in an adjustable ring fixed by bolts around the central column. In another form of rotary distributor, the arm m, Fig. 7, is supported on a carriage at the outer end and surrounded by a water-wheel to which the liquid is directed from slots p. A perforated cylinder s spreads the liquid from the water-wheel. In order to allow of expansion, the driving-wheel q may run upon a T-shaped path r secured to a carriage mounted upon rollers u, which travel outwards and inwards upon a lower roller path v. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 10, a perforated tray a is attached to a distributing-arm n for a square or rectangular bed, the liquid from the arm being directed by guides p<1> into the buckets l of a water-wheel. In a similar arrangement, a tray is placed between two arms fed by means of a single siphon from a trough at the side of the bed, the supply being directed to either arm alternately by means of a slide or lever valve actuated by buffers or stops at either end of the bed.

Title: Improved Electrical Clock.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER FERDINAND
Filed: 1907-09-12
Granted: 1908-09-14
Abstract: 20,380. Scheider, F. Sept. 12. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Electric clocks.-The weighted driving-lever 8, and the electro-magnetic armature 4 which restores it to a potential position, are provided with a pin- and-slot connexion 5 which relieves the lever from detaching the armature from its poles till it has the most advantageous leverage. Contact is made and broken without transmission of the current through the armaturt or framework and without sparking by means of the following arrangement or a modification thereof. An insulating-slab 26 at rightangles to the frame-plate 22 contains a pair of metal inlays 11, 12, and carries a leaf spring 13 which covers them but has an aperture 27 exposing their lower edges. A finger 23 pivoted to the armature terminates in a T-piece 20 which bears against the insulating slab. As the weighted lever draws the armature into an oblique position, the T-piece travels over the leaf till it drops through the aperture and bridges the gap between the inlays. The armature is then attracted and the T-piece wipes, first the inlays maintaining the circuit closed, and then the slab till it has escaped from under the leaf. In order to prevent sparking, a resistance 15 is provided in connexion with the leaf spring 13, and the latter has a tongue 14 projecting into the aperture 27, while the righthand inlay 12 is thinned off at the upper and lower edges. Accordingly, on falling through the aperture, the T-piece before touching the right-hand inlay completes the circuit including the resistance by bridging the gap between the tongue and the left-hand inlay 11, while when it leaves the inlays the resistance is in circuit after contact with the right-hand slab has ceased. In a modification there is only one inlay.

Abstract: 22,423. Eilertsen, L. C. H. R. Oct. 11. Signal lamps are constructed so as to signal to a ship's officer whether or not the rudder has been turned to the position desired. The lamp comprises an outer casing, which is provided with vertical slots A, Fig. 1, and is connected by lugs or stays to a fixed part of the steering-gear. Within the outer casing revolves a frame K, Fig. 2, fitted on the sides with two sets of alternate green and red glasses as E, D<1>, the parts F of the glasses being obscured. When the rudder is parallel to the keel, no light is shown, but the frame K is fixed to the steering-gear by means of a projecting spindle B, and, when the rudder is turned, the red or green lights are brought opposite to the two slots in the outer casing, and two red or green lights are seen according to the direction in which the rudder is turned, and the area of light seen depends on the extent of the turn. The frame K is fitted with ordinary reflectors.
