Abstract: 10,354. Soc. Franþaise de Constructions Mecaniques (Anciens Etablissements Cail). April 6, [Convention date]. [Addition to 3008/09.] Spray carburettors.-The variable choke-tube of the carburettor described in the parent Specification is actuated by rotating instead of sliding its upper end. The choke-tube 5 is fixed at its lower end to the carburettor body, and at its upper end it is secured by a nut 8 to a ring 7 which supports the fuel-controlling sleeve 3. The ring 7 is provided with teeth with which engages a rack 10 attached to a spring-loaded diaphragm actuated by the engine suction. As an alternative the rack 10 may be connected to the throttle 16 and actuated by hand, or it may be actuated by a governor. The throttle 16 may be dispensed with.

Title: An Improved Automatic Brake for Talking Machines.
Inventor: DAVIS JAMES LYTHGOE
Filed: 1911-01-12
Granted: 1912-02-12
Abstract: 843. Davis, J. L., and Cox, J. E. Jan. 12. Stopping.-A gramophone turntable brake is arranged so that it is always tending to be applied by the motor, but is held off so long as the tone arm is travelling inwards. The brake 53 is carried by a pair of jointed levers 47, 54, and is applied when these levers are pulled into line by another lever 46 or by a handle 41. When a rod 21 is moved to the right, Fig. 1, whereby its bevelled edge depresses a spring- controlled slotted lever 39 and releases a lever 45 connected with the brake levers 46, 47 from a slot 50 in the lever 39, the spring 51 is allowed to straighten out the levers 47, 54 and apply the brake 53. The turntable spindle carries a disk 1<1>, which frictionally drives a larger disk 6 carrying two cams 10, 11 adapted to engage ends 15, 19 on a forked oscillating bell-crank lever 14, of which the other limb carries a friction roller 23 bearing against a segment 27, which is turned in the direction of the arrow by an arm 31 connected with the tone-arm. As the disk 6 rotates, the cam 10 raises the forked lever 14, but before the cam 11 can move the rod 21 to apply the brake, the segment 27 in its inward movement will so move the friction roller 23 as to move the cam 19 out of the way of the cam 11. This continues until the record is finished and the tone-arm no longer moves inwards, so that, when next the cam 10 raises the forked lever 14, the cam 19 remains in the path of the cam 11, which then moves cam 19 to the right and, through the linked levers 17, 21, applies the brake.

Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 5130. Birmingham Small Arms Co., Accles, J. G., and Norman, G. March 1. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to rotary-bolt-action rifles, and consists in a special safety-device of the kind that is mounted on the breech-bolt and is adapted, in the first position, to permit the free operation of the bolt and firing-pin, in the second position to lock the firing-pin, and in the third position to lock both the bolt and the firing-pin. The safety-. catch 6, having an operating lever 17, is mounted eccentrically on a cap 1 fitted to and enclosing the end of the breech bolt. The pivot of the catch 6 is formed by the spring-pressed bolt catch 5, which, when the breech-bolt is in its open position, as. shown in Fig. 4, engages, in known manner, a recess in the bolt and thus prevents rotation of the cap. The cap 1 is provided with a heel part 7, Fig. 7, which engages a corresponding groove in the breechbody when the bolt is in its closed position. The safety catch has a lug 24, Fig. 8, which, in the third position shown in Fig. 7, engages both a recess 25 in the breech-body and a recess in the breech-bolt, thus locking the breech-bolt against rotation.

Inventor: GILBERT WALTER VILLA
IPC: F41A3/08
Filed: 1911-04-20
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 9656. Gilbert, W. V. April 20. Cabin and deck lights.-Relates to cabin and deck lights actuated by mechanism in which a single movement of an operating-lever, directly connected to the closing-member by a link with universal joints, first rotates the closing-member to unlock it, and then withdraws it, and consists in providing the link with a triaxial joint at one end and a biaxial joint at the other, one axis of the joint being in each case parallel to the turning-member to which it is attached and the joints being other than ball-and-socket joints. In the example shown, the operating-lever d, and carrier b on which the closing-piece c is rotatably mounted turn on a common axis b<1>, and the end d<1> of the lever d is joined by a link e to the flange of the closing-piece c. The joints permit at one end f preferably of biaxial movement, about axes f<1>, f2 the axis f<1> being parallel to the axis of the lever d and at the other end g of triaxial movement, about axes g<1>, g<2>, g<3>, the axis g<1> being parallel to the axis of the light c. On pulling the lever d away from the porthole a, the link e causes the closing- piece c to rotate, until the cam-surfaces c' are disengaged from the complementary surfaces a<2> on the porthole a, whereupon the stop c<6> engages the shoulder b<2> on the carrier. Further motion of the lever d rotates the closing-member c and carrier b as one piece about the axis b<1>, and opens the porthole. The carrier b may be provided with a stop to interlock it with the closing- member when withdrawn, and also with guides to aid in controlling the movement of the operating-lever d. The length of the link e is preferably less than the distance of the point f from the axis b<1>, and, when in the closed position, the lever d and link e lie preferably in, or just beyond, the dead-centre position. Both lever and link may be made readily disconnectible from the other parts. Specification 28,479/10, [Class 80 (iii), Link-work &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 4264. Munro, E. M., and R. E. T. Construction Co. Feb. 20. Controlling - arrangements for collectors.-To counteract the lateral pressure set up on the overhead contact conductors when the vehicles are not running directly beneath them, the pole socket C or base A<1> of the collector is provided with inclined or cam surfaces C<1> acting in conjunction with a friction roller or the like B. The cam is pressed against the roller by the weight of the trolly pole K<1>, but a spring may also be used if desired. The cam is so arranged that the pole socket is in its highest position when the pole is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The portion of the cam then engaged may be made flat so as to allow of slight rotary motion without the cam coming into action. When this limit is exceeded, the cam tends to move the socket further in the same direction. Specification 764/09 is referred to.
