Title: Improvements relating to Door Fastenings.
Inventor: KUPPER HENRY
IPC: E05C17/16
Filed: 1910-10-14
Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 23,826. Kupper, H. Oct. 14. Stays.-Relates to door fastenings of the type in which a bolt besides being used to fasten a door closed can also be used as a substitute for the ordinary door-chain and as a door-stay. The construction shown in Figs. 1 and 3 comprises a bolt 16 mounted within an open casing 17 on the door and guided therein by a pin or roller 18 at the outer end and by projections 19 at the inner end, and a catch plate 15 mounted on the door jamb and provided with levers 11 with notches 11<1>, 11<11> in which pins 20 on the bolt are adapted to engage. When the pins 20 engage the notches 11', the bolt acts to secure the door as usual, but, when the bolt is partly withdrawn so that the pins 20 engage the notches 11<11>, slots 21 in the inner end of the bolt are brought under the projections 19 on the casing 17, and the bolt is allowed to swing outwards to secure the door partially open as shown in Fig. 3. In a modified construction, the projections 19 are replaced by a bridge-piece at the inner end of the casing, and the pin 18 passes through a slot in the bolt. In this form also, the levers 11 are dispensed with, and the pins 20 have flattened sides and engage slots of key-hole formation in the catch plate. In a third form shown in Fig. 8, the inner end of the bolt is guided by pins 27 thereon engaging slots 26 in the sides of the casing 17. When the door is opened to its limited extent, a spring 28 mounted on the bolt is adapted to engage a projection 17<1> on the casing to hold the door open against accidental movement. The pin 18 may also be used for this purpose by being formed either cam-shaped so that it may be turned to jamb the bolt or as a screw clamp.

Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 30,388. Peterson, R. W. Dec. 31. Swings.-An amusement device consists of one or more passenger cars a<3> pivoted to a grid or platform a<4>, which is in turn suspended by arms a<2> from an axle a<1>. Oscillation about the axle is produced by a motor in gear with the axle. The motor is of small power but is periodically reversed, and thus, in conjunction with the force of gravity, sets up oscillations of increasing amplitude. The cars a<3> are attached to swivels geared or connected with a motor mounted on the grid. By means of this motor, the cars may be continuously rotated about their pivots, or they may be partly rotated so that the passengers always face in the direction of motion of the cars. By this latter method, it is stated that any feeling of nausea may be avoided. Instead of rotating the cars by means of a motor, they may be mounted on pivots arranged eccentrically, and allowed to rotate about these pivots by gravity at the limits of each swing. Access to the cars is obtained by a platform c, mounted on counterbalanced levers c' and raised and lowered by a motor c<2> through the medium of a screw c<4> and connecting rod c<3>.

Title: Improvements in the Warp Mechanism of Twist Lace Machines.
Inventor: JARDINE ERNEST
IPC: D04C3/00
Filed: 1911-09-28
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 21,387. Jardine, E., and Montgomery, H. Sept. 28. Lace machines.-In order to provide more extended warp beam accommodation, particularly in traverse-net machines, than heretofore, the warps are wound upon a series of short beams B arranged transveraley of the machine. The beams are mounted so as to rotate in upper and lower supports E, F and are geared together by toothed wheels at their lower ends so that they rotate in unison. The warps are drawn through inclined sley plates K. In winding the warps upon the beams, each thread is traversed two or more times each revolution of the beam and so forms a separate self-supporting thread disc or cheese. This prevents one warp from falling over the next one and setting it fast. The thread tension is obtained by means of friction brake mechanism of known construction acting on a brake .wheel L, or the whole of the beams may be geared to a controlling- shaft, which may either be provided with a friction brake or may be operated by winding-off mechanism.
