Abstract: 819,458. Control mechanism for motorcycles. AUFIDA A. G. July 1, 1957 [July 2, 1956], No. 20662/57. Class 136(1) A steering device on a motor-cycle embodies rotary grips 2, 4 and operating levers 3, 5, the Bowden controls pertaining to the rotary grips being operatively connected thereto by inclined guides 11a arranged inside each grip, all the Bowden controls being disposed within tubular parts of the device and connected therein to the rotary grips and to the operating levers, the operating lever 3 for the clutch being rotatable together with the rotary grip 2 for the gear change. As shown in Fig. 2 a grip tube 7 is rotatably mounted in a ring 6 secured to the end of a steering arm 1. The grip tube 7 embodies a rubber sleeve 8 and is slid over a sleeve 9a integral with the lever housing 9. A screw 10 secures the sleeve 9a to the grip tube 7 so that the housing 9 and the lever 3 may be rotated with the grip tube 7 about the arm 1. The grip tube 7 carries a helical guide fin 7a which engages a guide groove 11a on a slider 11, A lug 11b on the slider engages a slot 1a in the arm 1. A cable 12 connected to the gear box extends into a lug 11b where it is adjustably secured by a grub screw 13. A clutch cable 17 is connected by a nipple 18 to the arm 3a of the lever 3. A nose 3b on the arm 3a engages one of three grooves 1b provided in the end of the arm 1 (Fig. 4). To change gear the lever 3 is moved into the position shown in chain-dotted lines in Fig. 2 whereby declutching is effected through the cable 17 and at the same time the nose 3b disengages with the groove 1b. The grip tube 7 is then rotated together with the lever housing 9. The helical fin 7a moves in the guide groove 11a the member 11 sliding in a slot 1a in the arm 1 until the selected gear position is reached. The lever 3 is then released and the nose 3b engages the groove 1b corresponding to the gear selected and the gear change is locked. In the case of the lever 5 and grip 4 the housing 9 is rigidly secured to the arm 1 and is not operatively connected to the rotating grip. The arm 1 comprises only a single groove 1b.

Abstract: 478,971. Cathode-ray tubes. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., and BRETT, G. F. July 27, 1936. No. 20769. [Class 39 (i)] [Also in Group XX] The fluorescent screen is constituted by a layer of fluorescent material deposited on a grid or mesh of lines of electrically-conducting material in turn located on a transparent insulating backing preferably not constituted by the envelope of the tube, the total area of the lines being only a small proportion of the total area of the screen. The screen can be viewed from the side not struck by the ray and the lines maintain the screen at a desired potential and also provide a ruled scale. The lines may be as on squared graph paper or may be radial and circular. A mica disc is ruled with " liquid platinum," " liquid silver " or " liquid gold and heated to drive off organic matter, a piece of nickel foil attached to a wire is then clipped over the edge of the disc to contact with one or more of the lines, and the fluorescent material is then applied. In a modification, after the ruling and before the deposition of the fluorescent material, " liquid silver " or " liquid gold '' is painted or rubbed evenly over the mica surface and heated to leave a very thin, transparent layer of metal over the whole surface. The mica is bent or folded for introduction through the neck of the tube, and the wire is drawn through a hole in the tube at the screen end and is sealed through this hole to form a lead. One or more springs at the periphery of the mica disc may press on the walls for further rigidity.

In a pin setting apparatus for bowling lanes wherein the pins are suspended from cords, a roller is rotatable supported above the area of the bowling lane where a pin is to stand, a reversible drive cord extends above said roller and a pin-supporting cord is trained over said roller and has its lower end secured to the pin and its upper end tied to said drive cord. In Fig. 3, a perspective diagram of the actuator train for one of the pins, a cord 22 attached to a pin passes through a pin centring device 24, a pin retaining device 28 and position sensing switch 32 and is attached to a drive cord 34 driven by a motor 52 in either direction. The pin retaining device is controlled by the memory which comprises a system of selt latching relays actuated by switch 32 on pinfall. When the apparatus is operating to raise the pin any undue resistance e.g. due to entanglement of cords causes a slip clutch 65 to suspend the operation of a generator 196 which is arranged to reverse the motor. The partly raised pin is then lowered and the motor again reversed and the pin raised. This sequence is continued until the cords are disentangled.
