Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 16,097. Rowe, A. S. July 12. Fountains. - Relates to miniature fountains of the type in which a collapsible water-chamber, adapted to be extended by hand to draw in a supply of water, is mechanically compressed to expel the water to form the jet. In one form, the collapsible water-chamber H, Fig. 2, (Prov<l>.), is attached to the underside of the basin B and is enclosed in a rigid casing A. Rods K connected to the chamber extend through slots in the casing and are depressed by hand to extend the chamber and, at the same time, load a spring N. The rods may be locked in their lower position by bayonet - joint slots. When the rods are released the spring N compresses the chamber and forces the water through the nozzle G. Valves E, F control the supply and return of the water. In another form, the chamber H is enclosed by the spring, and in a further form, Fig. 2, (Comp.), the waterchamber H is bellows-shaped; in these forms, the nozzle G is detachable and valves are dispensed with.

Abstract: 11,769. Richardson, S. W., and Staveley, W. May 20. Catch year of mine-cage type. - Relates to safety catch gear for mine cages, of the kind in which the grips are mounted on an independent carriage from which the cage is suspended so that it is gradually arrested in the event of the hoisting-cable breaking, and consists in arranging on the auxiliary carriage a drum the rotation of which is gradually retarded by springs compressed by a screw rotated by the drum. The cam-grips 2 are mounted on shafts 3 in a carriage 1 on opposite sides of the guides 6, and are normally kept out of engagement by the hoisting-cable 4 acting through chains 8 and arms 7. Secured centrally to a screwed shaft 12 on the carriage is a drum 11 carrying a coiled rope 10 attached to the cage 20. The hoisting-cable 4 is led partially round the drum 11 and attached to the cage. If the hoisting- cable should break, the carriage 1 is arrested by the cams 2, and as the cage continues to descend the rope 10 rotates the drum 11 and causes plates 15, 16 to move outwards and to compress buffer springs 18, thereby gradually bringing the cage to rest.
