Filed: 1908-07-27
Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 15,905. Sprague, H. M. July 27. Cleats or holders.-A trunk harness comprises a casing 5, Fig. 2, with pulleys 6, 7 forming guides for a rope or cord adapted to pass transversely and longitudinally round the trunk. The rope is held in the casing by a knot 15, and after passing transversely round the trunk and over the pulley 7, it is passed longitudinally round the trunk, and finally leaves the casing having passed over the second pulley 6. When drawn tight the rope is held by a gripping-device 19 pivoted at 19<A> in the casing and held in contact with the rope by a pin 22 sliding in a casing 21 and pressed out by a spring 23. The pin 22 has a slot 25 working on a pin 24 in the casing 5. The rope may be tightened by pulling its free end 13, the spring 23 allowing the gripping-device 19 to come out of contact with the rope. To release the rope, the casing 21 must be turned to the position shown in Fig. 3. In a modification, Fig. 6, the gripping- device 19<C> is formed with a cam,surface 19<B> so that, on turning the lever 20A, the grip 19<C> is positively disengaged from the rope. A casing with one pulley may be used when the trunk is required to be wrapped in one direction only.

Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 926. Bullock, S. C. Jan. 14. Ticket-punches.-Depression of the punch in the absence of a ticket is prevented by mounting the punch d in a lever g so as to give lost-motion between them, as shown in Fig. 2. The lever g is connected to the slide f, and carries a pivoted pawl device k, which rests upon the head of the punch and is adapted to engage a fixed pin n. The presence of a ticket causes the punch, upon the descent of the lever g, to move the part k away from the pin n and allows the ticket to be perforated.

Abstract: 12,999. Bucherer, M. June 2. Smoke, consuming.-Smoke and incompletelyconsumed gases, such as the exhaust from motorcars, motor-boata, air-ships, &c. are consumed and their odour destroyed by passing them through or over a hot electric resistance or throngh an electric arc. The resistance employed is preferably a granular material, and may be carbon alone or mixed with other materials, the substance known as '' Kryptol " being especially suitable. The resistance may be of incomplete annular form, Figs. 1 and 2, inserted across the flue or exhaustpipe, and composed of a fire-clay block formed with an annular channel in which the resistance material is enclosed between perforated diaphragms S<1>, S<2> of porcelain &c. In a modification, Fig. 3, the gas &c. passes through a tube, fitted with baffles and heated by a resistance in the form of a surrounding jacket. When an arc is used, Fig. 4, the gases are passed through a perforated quartz-glass cylinder surrounding the arc and constricted at its outlet n. The outer casing may also consist of quartz-glass, or have a panel x of this material, the device then serving also as a lamp.

Abstract: 22,976. Thewlis, J. Oct. 8. Roundabouts. - In a roundabout with suspended cars formed to resemble birds, the cars are given a vertical movement and a tilting movement in imitation of the motion of flight. The cars a, Fig. 1, are carried at the outer ends of swifts or radial levers b, which are hinged at their inner ends to a central rotating ring and are supported at the middle by a pivoted beam o provided with rollers m running on an undulating track d. Each end of a car is connected by rods c with the end of a supporting- lever s, which is secured at its centre to a shaft p supported below the swift and secured also to a beam o. Thus, as the frame rotates, the motion of the beam o is transmitted to the cars, causing them to reciprocate vertically and tilt about a transverse axis. To enhance the illusion of flight, the wings t, Fig. 3, of the cars are flapped either by means of hand-levers 6 connected with the inner ends of the wing levers, or by means of a lever o rocked by a cam attached to a convenient part of the structure. The lever v may be rocked also by a crank on a shaft rotated by wheels in gear with the wheels m. The wings are preferably made of expanding lattice-work so that they may be extended at will.
