Title: Improvements in or relating to Lay Figures or Garment Forms.
Inventor: BONVOISIN LOUIS HERMAN
Filed: 1907-12-18
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 27,887. Bonvoisin, L. H. Dec. 18. Lay-figure and like stands.-In a lay-figure, shopwindow dummy, or garment-form, having jointed and removable arms, the arm is carried by a block 3, Fig. 6, to which is secured a flanged cylinder 14, adapted to enter a corresponding opening 17, formed in a cheek integral with the dummy and traversed by an electric blade 21, which engages the cylindrical portion 14 between the flanges and secures the arm in place. A portion 22 of the cylinder is cut away so that it may be inserted in the opening. The spring-blade is carried by an adjustable cross-bar 19. The invention is shown applied to a jointed arm, in which the upper part comprises two pieces 1 pivoted to the block 3, and held together by a screw 6. The pieces grasp a block 5, to which the fore-arm 7 is pivoted. The fore-arm is constructed in a similar manner, and grasps a rod 9 carrying a hand 10.

Switches, quick-action. -Relates to switches having springs which in the' on ' and' off' movements are first strained and then relaxed to assist or produce the switching movement, the switch blade being locked during the straining of the spring and then automatically released by the movement of the handle. The switch blade a, a handle f, forked at its lower end, and a rocking and radially-moving locking- piece g, are all mounted on a spindle carried by a U-shaped bracket c. In the top of one of the limbs of the bracket are two notches adapted to receive a lug g<2> on the locking-piece, which is formed also with two wings g<3>, g<4> upon the upper surfaces of which bear the ends of a spring coiled round the spindle.

Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 24,185. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Oct. 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Fire, police, and like alarm systems.-In signalling - apparatus, particularly for fire and police use, in which a transmitter calls the central station by direct current, the relay at the called station automatically sends alternating current over the signal circuit to operate a number of alarm receivers. The transmitter G<1> sends intermittent direct current to the central station Z where the armature M closes the circuit of the magnet A to release the operating-mechanism of the inductor J. The characteristic signal of station G<1> is thus produced in the alternating - curreent alarm receivers E. In a modification of the circuit arrangements, the case of a break occurring in the line is met by earthing one point of the line through a condenser so that, for instance, half of the receivers E will be operated. The receivers E may be in a separate circuit closed by the armature M.
