Title: Improvements in or relating to Safety Razors.
Inventor: ERN CARL FRIEDRICH
IPC: B26B21/02
Filed: 1910-04-28
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 10,478. Ern, C. F. April 28. Razors, safety. Relates to razors of the class in which protecting- combs are pivoted to the razor shank so that a comb can be brought to bear against the right or left side of the blade, the other comb being used as the handle, while the combs together form a sheath for the blade when not in use. Each comb a, b, Figs. 1 and 4, consists of a trough-shaped shell having an inwardly-directed wall g at the outer end and a wall h at right-angles thereto, the wall h being bent to form an offset surface i; the walls h, Fig. 9, serve to guide or support the end of the blade, and the surfaces i abut when the two shells are closed together. A leaf spring f, fixed inside each shell, has a hooked end m which extends through openings k, l in the walls g, h respectively, the spring, with the exception of a small lug o being wider than a notch n in the end of the blade d. Either shell is secured to the blade by depressing the spring f so that the hook m projects inwards through the opening l, the blade being swung into position and the spring released so that the lug o engages with the notch n. The two combs are protected and connected together in the closed position, with the razor between them, by a slotted sleeve r, Fig. 1. The pivot e is situated within recesses p in the outside surfaces of the shells, corresponding projecting parts on the inside surfaces forming guides for the tang of the blade.

Granted: 1911-10-18
Abstract: 24,135. Piercy, R. A. A. S. Oct. 18. Paddle-wheels; steering by moving centre of gravity and inclining vessel.-In vessels of the kind in which the body is supported above the water by means of a series of quick impulses produced by sets of revolving blades on the surface of the water, a single wheel of large diameter is used. The supporting-blades may carry additional propelling-blades, and the frame may be provided with floats for supporting the structure when the wheel is not rotating. The blades or the centre of gravity of the engine are adjused for steering purposes. The supporting-planes a are carried by, or hinged to, the revolving arms b of the wheel, the axle c of which is journaled in a bracket carried by the frame d, which also carries the engine c and accommodation for the crew. The planes a, which may or may not be feathered, are adjusted in some cases to give a propelling motion as well as a supporting effect, and may carry feathering propelling - blades h, as shown in Fig. 8. The propelling - blades can also be carried by separate arms. By mounting the axle c on slides g, as shown in Fig. 6, a flexible connexion between the frame and wheel is obtained. Steering is effected by using rudders or drag anchors supported by outriggers from the frame d; or by tilting the whole vessel, for which purpose the centre of gravity of the engine is shifted, or rudders or drags are used. By tilting the blades a as shown in Fig. 12, the vessel can also be steered, the control being from the hub and by levers, compressed-air, electric, or other transmission systems. Three engines at least are fitted, any one being capable of supporting the vessel. Should the engines fail, light floats i, Fig. 11, are adapted to support the vessel. If the floats can only support the deck portion, means are provided for detaching the engines and wheel and allowing them to sink. The floats i may consist of ordinary hydroplanes, which partly support the vessel and help to steady it.

Abstract: 21,721. Simpson, S. Oct. 2. Gas, supplying by meter.-The rotation of the nut of a prepayment attachment for gas-meters of the screw-and-nut type is effected by coin and price-change mechanism of the type described in Specification 22,830/97 through a pinion g held in a fixed position but free to rotate. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the pinion g has a projection g<1> engaging a slot f<2> in a sleeve f<1> carried by the nut f, which is adapted to traverse a screw e driven by the. meter. A sliding rod h accompanies the nut in its movement and serves to open and close the gas-valve by means of a pin which co-operates with a slot j<1> in the valve-lever j. A pointer h<3> on the rod h indicates on a dial the amount of gas still to be consumed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the nut f acts as the driving-pinion, and the screw e is adapted to travel through the nut and effect the opening and closing of the valve by means of the rod h. Coin-slit closing devices.-A stop k carried by the rod h serves to lock the coin-carrier when the maximum number of coins has been inserted. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-The coin mechanism is very similar to that described in Specification 22,830/97. A spring - controlled pawl m, Fig. 3, carried by a pin m<1> working in a sleeve m<2>, is forced into engagement with teeth c<2> of a wheel c, which drives the pinion g, by the coin in the carrier b.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Sighting-apparatus for Guns.
Inventor: HOUGHTON JAMES
Filed: 1911-11-28
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 26,620. Houghton, J., and White, J. Esmonde-. Nov. 28. Range-finders.-Relates to sighting-apparatus for guns of the type in which there is employed in combination a gun in a mounting, a rangefinder having an element movable to positions corresponding to different ranges, and an operative connexion between the gun and the range-finder, of such a construction that, for each angular position of the gun, the rangefinder movable element has an equivalent setting. According to the.invention, the sighting- apparatus comprises, in combination, an elevating-screw, a range-finder connected with the screw so as to move to the same extent as the screw, and a threaded rod of variable pitch connecting the movable element of the rangefinder and the gun, with or without means for imparting a preliminary adjustment for errors of the day &c. In the form shown in Figs 1 and 3, the elevating-screw C passes through nuts C', C<2> mounted, as in the ordinary service pattern of field gun, in oscillating bearings C<3>, C'. A. range-finder R of the ' one-man ' type is mounted above the gun breech and is connected by rods E, E<1> to the trunnions A<1> and screw C respectively, so that the rangefinder is not movable relatively to the screw C. A rod 0, which has a cam-groove O<1> of varying pitch engaged by a feather O<2>, imparts rotation through bevel-gearing O<3>, P, to the spindle P' of the range-finder movable element. Corrections for error due to angular movement of the screw C about its oscillating bearings are made by a ramp F with which the lower end of the rod 0 engages. The roller o<6> runs on a track F<2> at the bottom of the ramp, and the spindle o<7> engages cam-slots F<3> in the ramp. In operation, the gun is first set, by means of the hand-wheel D' giving endlong motion to the screw C, so that its axis is horizontal and the target is visible both through the bore of the gun and through the fixed element of the rangefinder, used as a sighting-device. The movable element of the range-finder is then at zero. The second hand-wheel D is next rotated, the screw acts as a rack, and the gun is elevated or depressed from the datum position to one corresponding to the given range, the movement of the gun causing motion of the movable element of the range-finder through the rod 0, and the necessary elevation or depression being determined when the coincidence of the two images of the target occurs in the range-finder.
