Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: B63B23/18
Filed: 1910-02-25
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 4810. Boult, A. J., [Royaards, L. G.]. Feb. 25. Boat disengaging, supporting, and securing gear; davits. -Relates to davit gear of the kind in which the davit tackles are hooked to travellers working in fore - and - aft guides. A particular construction of chocks, and means for releasing chocks and gripes simultaneously are also described. The davit tackles are hooked to links 13 provided with wheels 14 which run on the underside of spaced channel-irons 15 secured in a fore-and-aft position on the boat. The passage between the channel-bars is closed at one end by a plate 18, the travellers 13 being arrested in their outward movement by bars 19, which can be lowered when desired by turning a rod 21 linked to the bars through a slotted connexion. The travellers are also provided with ratchets 24 which take over pawls 16 and prevent the davit gear from moving to-and-fro when the boat is out-board. The boat rests on fixed half-chocks 2, and is retained in position by stops 11 fixed on a transverse rod 9. When the rod is rotated by a handle 10 to move away the stops 11, the gripes are simultaneously released, since the rod 9 is linked up to a sliding bolt, which takes into an eye 6 on the end of the gripes. In a modification, fore-and-aft falling chocks linked by a rope are freed simultaneously with the gripes by releasing a hand-lever.

Abstract: 24,813. Biane, R., and Lourau, V. Nov. 4, 1909, [Convention date]. Scoring-apparatus.-Relates to a calculating machine for scoring and printing the points and results in the game of bridge. Two rows e, f of raised figures on a stationary disk c are used to mark honours and tricks respectively, and raised figures on two rotatable washers j, k are used to mark the total result, the disk c being cut away at g to enable these figures to be reached. The figures are marked upon a sheet of paper h by pressing an inked pad X against the paper resting on the raised figures. The pad slides upon a spring blade or arm V, which is pivoted at the centre of the apparatus, and has projections a', b<1> for shifting the paper to and fro. The paper is also fed step by step by a fixed projection d<1>, which prevents the projection a' from acting for a short space. The washer is carried by an inverted cup l, and is moved by a pin u on the swinging arm V engaging with holes m on the cup l. Opposite these holes is a fixed row of figures i on the casing a which enables the washer to be moved to the right or left to the number of points required, this number being thus added or subtracted from the total. A pin n, connected to the cup l and washer j, turns the wheel r, and with it the washer k, to mark the hundreds and thousands; the washer k is fixed to a second inverted cup o.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Telephone Apparatus.
Inventor: GRISSINGER ELWOOD
Filed: 1912-03-27
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 7482. Grissinger, E. March 27, Telephonic relays. - Magneto - microphonic relays are constructed with a double armature system mounted between two oppositely - acting spring tensioning - devices, which are adjusted so that the natural frequency of the system is above the region of resonance of the vowel sounds. A differential microphone is used in the relay, and a form is described in which oilcooling means are provided. Fig. 2 shows a construction in which each armature 71 is placed in front of magnet poles, which are attached to a core 34 consisting of iron plates separated by brass. Each core is polarized by permanent magnets 4 and is adjusted in position by a screw 14, the end 15 of which fits in a central hole in the core. The magnetic field is adjusted by the screw-threaded magnet 42<a>. The armatures are screwed on sleeves 57, which are connected together by a block 58. Each sleeve carries an electrode 59, the granules being placed between these electrodes and fixed electrodes 52. The armature svstem is tensioned by means of wires 66, which are stretched by screws 74 and bent outwards as shown by nuts 65. The tension is such that the natural period of the system is above the region of resonance of the vowel sounds. The sleeves 57 carry a fabric diaphragm and a mica diaphragm. Another form of relay is shown in Figs. 14, 15, and 16, the cores 27<e> being polarized by means of coils 5<e> as well as by the coils 28<e> in the telephone circuit. Adjusting-magnets 45<e> are provided. The screw-threaded sleeves 79<e> carrv the armatures 90<e> and the electrodes 81<e>, the granules being placed in the chamber 91<e> between these electrodes and the electrodes 76<e>. Mica diaphragms 83<e> close the chamber 91<e>. The microphone is cooled bv a radiative system shown in Fig. 15. The tubes 63<e> lead from an annular chamber round the electrodes 76<e> to pipes 64<e>, 65<e>, which are connected to a number of vertical radiating-tubes 69<e>. The radiator is preferably filled with oil. The wires 88<e> for tensioning the vibrating system may be tightened by connecting them together by binding-wires, or by means of screws. The wires may otherwise be replaced by steel hands. To prevent magnetic particles from adhering to the poles and armatures, a layer of oil is placed between them, the oil being held in projections in the pole pieces or by a hand of fabric encircling the pole pieces and armatures. The electrodes may be made of polished carbon, or of metal plated with platinum or gold. A rheostat is included in the circuit of the polarizing-cnrrents to facilitate balancing of the opposite magnetic systems.

Filed: 1912-04-01
Granted: 1913-04-01
Abstract: 7888. Pedersen, P. O. April 1. Microphones; mouthpieces.-The electrodes of microphones, relays, &c. are arranged to have a ' resting position,' in which they are relatively close together, and one or more working posi- ' tions ' in which they are slightly further apart. The transition from one position to the other may be effected automatically or otherwise by means of an electro-magnet, or by the pressure of air or of a spring-controlled member, or by distortion produced by heat. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the microphone is normally in the ' resting position.' the granules 3 being under considerable pressure. When current is passed through the microphone by way of terminals 18, 19, a parallel circuit energizes the magnetpoles 15 and attracts the iron disk 13 of the diaphragm, thus reducing the pressure. The mouthpiece 1 is mounted in a ring 21 supported between the magnets and provided with protecting gauze 23.
