Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 28,200. Cooper, C. Dec. 28. Pictures &c., hanging on walls.- A device for gripping and suspending plates, dishes, basins, &c. comprises a number of light hooks 1, 2, 3 engaging the periphery of the article and connected together directly or indirectly by a number of coiled wire springs 4, a suspension loop 11 being also provided. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the springs 4 are connected to V-shaped wires 5, to the centre of which the hooks 1, 2 are attached. The upper book 3 is connected by an additional spring 8 to the upper wire 5, to which is attached the loop 11. This form may be used for articles of circular shape such as plates, saucers, cups, &c. An arrangement for dishes &c. is shown in Fig. 3, in which the hooks and springs are connected to a ring-like wire centre 13 which fits at the back of the suspended article. The loop 11 is attached to the wire ring 13 at the top, as shown. For circular articles, three hooks and springs are employed, arranged radially from a circular wire at equal angles from one another, the suspension loop being formed from the wire centre. According to the Provisional Specification, the suspender may be formed of two V-shaped hooks connected by a single spring, or two parallel springs, or several springs arranged to form the sides of a polygon may be employed.

Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 866. Lange, H. S. Jan. 13. Actuating valves ; lift valves ; handles ; seats.-In order to facilitate the inspection and repair of the valves of a hydrant, stand-pipe, or the like, an auxiliary valve 2, Fig. 3, is fitted beneath each main valve 1 so as to shut off the fluid supply when the main valves are removed. The auxiliary valves are held open, when the valves 1 are open, by projections 9, 10 formed upon the valves. The valves 1 are operated by spindles having differential screw-threads 23, 24 working in screw-threaded holes formed in the guides 27 and in the valves respectively, so that a fine adjustment of the valve is possible without employing fine screw-threads. The conical seats 18 of the valves 1 are formed in a plate 32, Fig. 7, screwed on to the foot of the pipe 35 which is normally pressed downwards by bolts 39 carried by the outer casing of the hydrant so as to effect water-tight junctions between the parts. When repairs have to be effected, the valves 1 and seats 18 are removed bodily together with the pipe 35. The valve seats 8 of the auxiliary valves 2 are formed with slots 45, Fig. 8, by means of which they can be removed by the aid of the tool shown. In order to allow the water above the valve 1 to flow away when desired, a port 16, Fig. 3, is provided in the stem 28 of the valve, by means of which water entering through the holes 15 is able to escape through the port 17 into the space outside the hydrant. Fig. 11 shows an operating-handle carrying a spur-wheel 53 at one end, by means of which both valves may be operated simultaneously as shown, and having a squared hole 54 at the other for operating the valves singly.

Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 25,909. L÷wendahl, V. Nov. 9. Metals, powdered, obtaining coherent masses from ; alloys.-For the manufacture of porous metal blocks suitable for dynamo brushes or bearings, a metallic powder mixed with a pulverous substance that can be removed by heat, for example ammonium nitrate, is pressed into blocks, which are heated to remove the said substance and to alloy, solder, weld, or fuse the particles together, and are then impregnated with a lubricant. The porosity of the blocks can be regulated by pressing or the like, and the pores of the surface closed so that the lubricant can only emerge where desired. Reference is made to the use of powdered copper coated with tin, or metal powders the grains of which contain copper, tin, and zinc alloyed or coated one with the others ; or copper mixed with tin or zinc, or both ; or aluminium mixed with one or more of the others. Specification 17,002/02, [Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.], is referred to. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 5255/05 and 18,742/06.

Title: Electro Magnetic Re-lays and the like.
Inventor: LUCAS OWEN DAVID
IPC: H01H47/14
Filed: 1910-01-17
Granted: 1911-01-17
Abstract: 1167. Lucas, O. D. Jan. 17. Electro-magnetic switches.-Relates to relays of the type in which a series coil and a shunt coil act in opposition upon the movable member, in order to close or open a circuit under predetermined conditions of voltage and amperage. According to the invention, a pivoted armature controlled by a spring or weight is mounted between the poles of two electro-magnets, respectively series and shunt wound, and the number of turns in the windings and the strength of the spring or weight is calculated according to a formula given in the Specification. In one constructional form, Fig. 2, the relay consists of a pair of iron cores d and adjustable polepieces c, a series winding f, a shunt-winding g, a V-shaped yoke a, an iron pillar b, an armature c pivoted thereon, and a spring h urging the armature towards the series coil. The armature forms one contact, and the other contact is placed as shown at j or k, Fig. 3. The spring h may be replaced by a weight. In a modification, the yoke is divided and two pivot pillars are used. The relay is used for starting and stopping a generator in a circuit of variable load fed, for example, by a storage battery. The circuit completed by the relay is utilized, in the case of dynamos driven by explosion engines, to connect the dynamo temporarily as a motor. In the case of steam or hydraulic power, the relay controls the electric operation of valves. The relay may act to make and break several local circuits. To allow for the additional current required for charging the battery, additional turns f, Fig. 3, are added to the series winding f between the dynamo lead m and the battery lead n, the lamps or other load being connected at p.

Abstract: 2369. Ley, G. A. Jan. 31. Printing-apparatus, rapid bromide and like.-In a machine for rapid bromide - printing, a common pressure bar 21, Fig. 1, is hinged to the back of the frame 12 and co - operates separately by means of transverse springs 29, 30 with a pressure cover in two parts 16, 17 hinged together and one part 16 of which is hinged to the frame 12 at the same end as the pressure bar 21 while the other part 17 is connected to the bar 21 by means of a hinge shown in Fig. 6. The part 16 of the pressure cover is hinged to the frame by hinges having an intermediate piece 19 which allows a certain amount of play for negatives of different thicknesses, and this part of the pressure cover is pressed by the spring 33. The bar 21 carries a handle 23 by a spring hinge 24, and a keeper engages a spring latch 26. When the bar 21 is raised the part 17 is raised first, the part 16 being still pressed by the spring 33. The bar '21 is held in the full open position by a spring arm 34. When in operative position the bar 21 engages a push-button recessed in the frame to switch on the light. One side of the frame 12 is cut lower than the other sides for sliding in the negative. To hold the negative in position a narrow plate 36 pivoted in journals 38 on the frame presses a narrow edge of the negative under the action of the spring 39 on the arm 40 extending from the plate. The underside of the frame is fitted with grooves for vignetting- masks.
