Title: Improvements in or relating to Harbours, Piers and other Marine Structures.
Inventor: VESIAN JOHN STUART ELLIS DE
IPC: E02D23/02
Filed: 1911-07-10
Granted: 1912-07-10
Abstract: 16,002. Vesian, J. S. E. de. July 10. [Cognate Applications, 16,862/11 and 27,591/11.] Subaqueous structures.-A reinforced-concrete structure for use in the construction of harbours, piers, wharves, jetties, dolphins, and marine constructions generally, of the type adapted to be floated into position and then sunk, comprises external walls surrounding cylinders which can be sealed. Walls a enclose cylinders b, c, the cylinders b being shown closed at their lower ends. The walls are splayed out at the bottom to secure a firm foundation. The triangular openings fare utilized for ramming rubble if necessary, or piles may be driven through the cylinders. The structure may be provided with counterforts of the same construction. To withstand shocks, the cylinders are filled with water and the tops filled with concrete. When used in great depths the members may be placed one above the other, socket joints being made in the external walls. A dolphin consists of a triangular wall surrounding one or more cylinders.

Abstract: 19,517. Hodd, G. W. Sept. 1. Eyeglasses.-Consists in means for the attachment of a stamping comprising in one piece the bridge a, sides c, and plaquets b. In the case of rimless eyeglasses, the stamping is provided with projections e which pass through holes in the side plates f. These plates are curved in section so as more effectually to grip the stamping. In the case of eyeglasses provided with rims, one of the projections m<1> on the stamping is formed with a hole, and the eye wire d' carries an L-shaped piece i, j. The small arm i carries a slot through which the projection e passes, while the arm j has a hole corresponding with the hole in the projection m<1> so that these two parts can be secured together by a screw n.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Indicators used in Looms for Weaving.
IPC: D03J1/20
Filed: 1911-11-29
Granted: 1912-09-12
Abstract: 26,683. Orme, T. A., Stanfield, A., and Meters, Ltd. Nov. 29. Counters, arrangements of. - A counter h, Fig. 1, for registering the number of picks put in by a loom is driven from a shaft e by means of a tooth g, which is formed on a sleeve f secured to the shaft, and is adapted to engage projections d on a boss a secured to the spindle b of the counter. When the shaft e is turned mechanically in the normal direction, the tooth g engages one of the projections d and actuates the counter, and when a lever p<1> is moved to cause the shaft to be driven mechanically in the reverse direction, the shaft p and rod o cause the indicator to slide in a guide i so as to bring the other projection d opposite the tooth g. When the lever p<1> is moved so as to allow the shaft e to be rotated by hand, independently of the driving - mechanism, the shaft p moves the counter into such a position that the tooth g passes between the projections d without engaging either of them. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the spindle b is adapted to be turned by the engagement of a lug r, carried by the shaft, with a lug on the spindle b. When a controlling- handle such as p<1>, Fig. 1, is moved, a pin o<1> on a rod o displaces the counter h along a guide i so as to bring the lug on the spindle b into or out of engagement with the lug r.

Abstract: 9303. Pickett, J. B., Pfeifler, J. W., Vroman, E. M., and Ketchum, S.D. April 19. Type-lever actions.-The type-levers 19 are pivoted to key-operated levers such as 17 and are arranged to act flail-wise, the type-heads 20 moving to and from impression along the curved path shown. The levers 17 preferably consist of elbow-levers pivoted near the upper end in a comb 16 and operated by keys 24 arranged in three concentric rows, the stems 25 of the inner row being straight and the stems 26 of the outer rows being Z-shape. The typelevers are guided and limited in the upward movement by a comb 22 and are formed at the pivot ends 21<1> with shoulders which engage the levers 17 and serve in the normal position to press the type-heads 20 against an inking-pad 21. In operation, when any one of the keys is depressed, the corresponding lever 17 turns quickly and causes the type-lever to move longitudinally and upwards and then to descend for impression, the type-lever bouncing upwards after impression and then returning by gravity to the normal position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Combination Locks for Automobiles.
IPC: B60R25/04
Filed: 1912-05-08
Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 10,974. Johnstone, H. M., and Johnstone Auto Lock Co. May 8. Switches, locking and unlocking.-A combination lock switch for preventing the closing of the spark circuit on automobiles by unauthorized persons is shown in Fig. 1. A hand - operated switch arm 10 electrically connected with a plate 49 is adapted to engage one or other of the contact - studs 11, 12 for magneto or battery ignition respectively. The circuit is not completed, however, until a second switch lever 41 within the casing 22 is moved into contact with the plate 49 by the end 39 of a dog 33 controlled by locking-disks. When the circuit is open, as shown in the Figure, the dog can be prevented from turning and closing the switch 41 by holding the end 36 in a slot 38 in a fixed housing 37, by means of permutation disks 14, 15, 16 mounted within the housing. If the disks, however, are set to predetermined positions, the end 36 of the dog enters notches 30 therein under the action of the spring 68, and a square part 35 of the central slot is brought over the spindle of the operating-knob so that a further movement of this turns the dog and operates the lever 41 to close the circuit. When the knob is turned in the reverse direction to open the circuit, the dog is returned to the original position and then lifted by an incline 31 on the disk 16, after which the disks can be disarranged to secure the dog. The disks are set by a to-andfro movement of the knob, each having a projection to engage a corresponding projection on the adjacent disk. In another construction for use with a high-tension magneto system, the lever 41 is not a switch member but serves to secure the switch arm so that this cannot he operated. Switch mechanism interlocking with lids.- The lid 21 of the casing 22 is normally locked by a bolt 44 under the control of the locking- disks. When the switch 41 has been operated, however, the dog 33, 39 also withdraws the bolt 44 so that the door may be opened.

As the knuckle swings into the closed position, a boss on its upper surface engages the arm G<3> and lifts it so that the lug G<2> is swung from beneath the tooth F<2> and the pin is carried by the upper wing of the knuckle fitting within the notch F<3>. The boss on the knuckle then passes into the cavity G<4>, the pin falls into locking position, and the lug G<2> is swung beneath the flange F<1>. Springs E bear frictionally against the wedge-pieces on the knuckle wings to check their rebound.

Abstract: 29,285. Still & Sons, W. M., and Adamson, A. G. Dec. 19. Radiators; thermostats.-In a steam-heated radiator of the pressureless type, such as are used for heating railway-carriages, the admission of steam is controlled by the expansion and contraction of the radiator itself, the admission valve being allowed to close when the radiator is expanded, and prevented from closing when the radiator is contracted. In the radiator shown, a rod 5 of wood or other material having a low coefficient of expansion prevents the inlet ball-valve 4 from being completely closed against its seat except when the supply of steam is sufficient to reach almost to the outlet. The radiator tube then expands sufficiently to withdraw the rod clear of the valve.
