Abstract: 3858. Hughes, H. E., Thwaites, J. H., and Craven, J. T. Feb. 15. Grates; ashes, &c., removing; air supply, heating.-Grates, more especially for refusedestructor furnaces, are formed of pivotallymounted sets of fire-bars with curved or arcshaped supporting-surfaces of such radii that the extremities of each set can be moved over the supporting-surface of an adjacent set to remove the clinker. In Fig. 1 is shown a grate formed of side members 1, 2 pivoted at 3, 4, and a central member 6 pivoted at 7. The supporting-surfaces 5, 8, 9 of the members are formed as arcs of the same radius. By rotating the central member 6, its extremities clinker the surfaces 5 of the side members, while Fig. 4 shows the position of the parts when clinkering the surfaces of the central member by the extremities of the side members. The pivots 3, 4, 7 may be rotated by gearing, such as worm gearing. The clinkers are deposited in trucks 10, a bar 11 being provided to break the clinker deposited from the central member 6. Forced draught may be heated in the ash-pit by the clinker. Grates are also described having two pivoted members.

[Cognate Applications, 13,098/12 and 17,110/12.] Couplings.-Flexible connecting-cords are provided with spring protecting-devices at their point of attachment to telephone plugs &c. to prevent fracture due to bending. The device may consist of a helical spring b, Fig. 1, formed from a tape or ribbon of metal. The pitch of the helix may decrease continuously from the plug. Otherwise a helix formed of a number of springs c, Fig. 2, wound side-by-side may be used, a spring tube g being inserted at the end of the spring to protect the conducting-wires. In another form a flat spring f, Fig. 5, is used, clips p, n, o being provided for attachment to the plug and cord. With the form of spring shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a spring clip is used to attach the spring to the plug. If the spring and plug are not of the same diameter, a compound clip is used, the clip being made by removing a part l from a simple clip h for say three-quarters of the circumference. The protecting springs may be covered with plaited braid &c., and between the spring clip and the plug resin or gum may be applied, with glass, emery, &c.

Abstract: 19,337. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Murray, S. M. Aug. 26. Projectiles; projectile fuses.-Relates to projectiles of the kind having pivoted arms which spread out when the projectile is fired, and on engaging with a target, such as a balloon or airship, cause the projectile to explode. The invention consists in adapting the arms to act positively upon the striker of the fuse of the projectile. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the striker a is held by a wire c, and has a head f which holds the pivoted arms h in their closed position. The wire c is sheared on discharge, whereupon the striker releases the arms h, which fly outwards under air pressure and centrifugal action. The rear extensions h<1> on the arms then engage the rear of the head f, and push the striker forward until a second wire e fixed to the projectile encounters the rear end of a slot d in the striker. On impact with the target, the arms h are forced back, and their rear ends force the striker forward against the detonator i and explode the charge j, after shearing the wire e.
