Title: Improvements in Casements.
Inventor: HERBERT GARIBALDI
Filed: 1898-07-18
Granted: 1899-05-20
Abstract: 15,664. Herbert, G. July 18. Casements.-To enable casements to turn inwards for cleaning &c., they are connected to the frame or casing J by double hinges, preferably of the kind described in Specification No. 24,503, A.D. 1896, and portions of the bottom rails are pivoted to turn upwards to clear the sill. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the casement is hinged to a weather-bar C, which is hinged to, and fits in a recess in, the casing. The bar is normally fixed to the casement by a screw F when the casement is required to open outwards only. The casing is recessed at B, G to receive the hinge knuckles and screw head, and a screwed socket plate FP is let into the casement to receive the screw. In a modification, the casement is hinged to the outer edge of the bar, which is hinged to the rabbeted side of the casing. Instead of using a wooden weather-bar, double hinges may be secured to a vertical metal bar by screws which enter the casement stile or frames. Fig. 4 shows the bottom rail of the casement formed in two tongued and grooved parts A, B, pivoted together so that a bead F of the part B turns in a circular groove in the part A. The top rail of the casement is rabbeted and grooved to receive a weatherbar or tongue which is pushed into a recess in the window head when it is required to reverse the casement.

Title: Improvements in Electric Igniting Apparatus for Explosion Engines.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1899-03-27
Granted: 1899-07-29
Abstract: 6604. Justice, P. M., [Pope Manufacturing Co.]. March 27. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to an electric igniter for explosion engines, especially applicable to motor vehicles, and consists in making use of an alternating current so that secondary batteries can be dispensed with. The invention also enables the period of ignition to be varied at will, and further comprises means for adjustment not affected by the vibration of the vehicle. The current is generated by an electromagnetic apparatus, driven by the engine shaft. The current is taken off when near its maximum by means of spring contacts. The period at which the current reaches its maximum and is taken off for giving the igniting-spark can be varied by an angular adjustment of the armature. This is effected by pulling a line S passing round a pulley attached to the armature, the movement being opposed and the armature being returned when free by a spring L<2>. In order that relative movement between the parts of the vehicle shall not disturb the adjustment, the line is carried to the handle S', Fig. 1, through a tube R, bent so as to be resilient without altering its length.
