Abstract: 570,773. Ignition distributer casings. BYRNE, E. L. W. (Titeflex Metal Hose Co.). Dec. 24, 1943, No. 21592. [Class 7 (ii)] The distributer 6 of the ignition system of an internal-combustion engine is radio shielded by a casing comprising a tubular two-part body portion 7, 8 closed at its ends by detachable members 24, 16, the latter being provided with outlets 20 for the loads. The parts 7, 8 have coasting longitudinal hinge portions 13, 14 respectively, which may be hooked together. The parts 7, 8 also have upper and lower beads 9, 10 adapted to overlie and resiliently contact with flanges 17, 25 on the upper and lower cap members. The two body parts are resiliently locked together by means of a cam member 32 passing through angle plates 29, 30 and slotted to coact with a wire 33, Fig. 7, fixed to one plate so that when a quarter turn is given to the cam member the body parts are locked together with the end caps firmly held by the beads 9, 10. The lower cap member is secured to the distributer part 1 by screws 27 and its inner edge is cut away to form narrow circumferential slots 28 for ventilating the casing and for draining out moisture. The casing may be earthed through the metal conduits 22 connected through'the plug shields to the engine block and by its connection to the distributer base 1.

Abstract: 428,569. Insulators. TAYLOR, TUNNICLIFF, & CO., Ltd., West Terrace, Handley, Staffordshire, and ABELL, R. H., 253F, Cromwell Road, Earl's Court, London. July 24, 1934, No. 21600. [Class 36] In suspension insulator strings of the kind in which successive insulators are connected together by metal coupling elements housed within an enclosed chamber formed between the adjacent ends of the insulators, a waterproof yielding or resilient packing ring is interposed between the ends of the insulators and a flexible connection is provided between the coupling elements. As shown, a suspension string comprises insulators 1, each consisting of a cylindrical body having a downwardly sloping shed 6 and formed at its upper end with a recess 4 into which a pin 15 is cemented. The protruding end of the pin is screw-threaded and receives a socket 18 which is adapted to be housed in a cavity 8 formed in the lower end of an adjacent upper insulator. The cavity 8 leads to a recess 11 in which is cemented a depending pin 16 having a ball head 17 which forms a flexible connection with the socket 18. A thick rubber or bitumentreated felt washer 14 is interposed between the adjacent ends 2, 7 of the insulators which are drawn together by rotating one insulator relatively to the other so as to screw the socket 18 on the pin 15. A key 20 on the pin 16 prevents relative rotation between the socket 18 and pin head 17. In modified constructions the sheds 6 may be in the form of annular discs of uniform or radially tapering thickness arranged at right-angles to the axis of the string, or may consist of dished annular metal plates which are cemented to the insulators or clamped between the ends of adjacent insulators.

Abstract: 782,174. Tumbler switches. BONNELLA & SON, Ltd., D. H. July 25,1955 [July 23, 1954], No. 21622/54. Class 38 (5). A switch comprises a bridging contact 17 biased by springs 18, 19 towards fixed contacts 13, 14 and moved away therefrom by a saddlelike member 20 connected by a pin 21 and insulating link 22 to a dolly 11. The pin 21 is guided in vertical grooves 24 in the opposed casing parts 5, 6 and biased by a spring 25 to retain the dolly in the " on " position with the top of the saddle 20 spaced slightly from the contact 17. The pivotal connection 23 of the link 22 with the dolly is offset from the axis of the latter such that the force of the spring 25 holding the dolly in the " on " position is the same as the combined forces of the springs 18, 19, 25 holding the dolly in the " off " position. In a double pole switch construction (Fig. 4, not shown) two bridging contacts arranged side-by-side are simultaneously operated by a common insulating saddle member, each contact having its own pair of biasing springs, and an insulating plate is fixed between the casing parts 5, 6 to separate the two poles and the external terminals therefor.

Abstract: 372,634. Press - button retractive switches. SCHWARZ, A., Marienh÷he, Eisenach, Germany. Aug. 4, 1931, No. 22096. Convention date, Aug. 2, 1930. [Class 38 (v).] A switch for actuating either of two direction indicators for a vehicle comprises a contact member 7 pivoted to a plunger 6 and adapted to be moved into engagement with a fixed contact 10 or 11 by depression of a button 8 or 9 respectively. The rod 6 is connected to a piston 4 moving in a cylinder 3 against the action of a spring 5 which returns the parts to their original position when the button is released at a rate determined by the size of a hole in a valve member in the wall of the cylinder 3 through which air is allowed to enter, Fig. 3 (not shown). The size of this hole is determined by the rotation of a screw which has a cut-away portion and a tapering point engaging a conical hole in the valve member. Normally air can only enter through the small hole in the valve member, but if it is desired to secure a quick "break" the valve member is itself actuated by pressing in the screw when a large amount of air can enter through the valve.
