Patent EE-200100270-A (EE)
Inventor: BOLOURI-SARANSAR MASUD
IPC: H04M11/08
Filed: 1999-11-19
Abstract: In a method and a signal distribution arrangement for use in private dwellings or offices, communication and multimedia signals are distributed by means of a connection arrangement ( 27 ) which is connected to a plurality of terminals ( 1-8 ) in the rooms ( 25, 26 ) of the dwelling or the office. The individual terminals are preferably identical and may be connected between the terminals and the consuming apparatus via a cable with a plug at each end which is adapted to the terminals and a consuming apparatus, respectively. The signal distribution arrangement includes a plurality of signal processing circuits ( 31-33 ) which have wire connections (patch cables) that may be connected to a patch panel ( 1-23 ), each of which is either connected to the terminals or is prepared to be connected to the new terminals. Hereby, the power distribution may be adapted to the needs of the individual user in a simple manner at any given occasion without requiring expensive installation changes, as the various signal types may be converted from one signal type or another signal type either in the signal processing circuit or after the terminals.

Title: Improvements in Sash Locks.
Inventor: SMITH WILLIAM WALLACE
Filed: 1897-01-26
Granted: 1897-02-27
Abstract: 2064. Smith, W. W., and Isgrig, J. M. Jan. 26. Sash fastenings.- A sash fastening is formed so that either sash may be locked in any required position till the fastening is operated from the inside, except i n the case of raising the upper sash, which can be accomplished without manipulating the fastening. A bar 3, Fig. 2, is fixed to the frame between the sashes and passes through catches fixed on them. The upper catch consists of a plate 14, Fig. 5, bent as shown and fixed to the sash 2, Fig. 2, and having a T-piece 16 pivoted to it. Both pieces are perforated to pass over the rod and are normally separated at that end by a spring. To allow the sash to be lowered, the free end of the plate 16 is depressed. The lower catch consists of a plate 5, Fig. 4, with lugs 6 in which a fingerplate 10, Fig. 3, is pivoted. A leaf spring is used to separate the parts, the catch being otherwise similar to the upper one, the finger-piece 8 being raised to release the sash. The plate 5 is provided with a cam surface 11, and a lock piece 12 is pivoted on the rod. By turning this over the cam surface the fingerplate is locked and prevented from releasing the sash. For large sashes more than one rod and its corresponding catches may be used, and the parts of the latter may be stamped from sheet metal.

Patent GB-189824231-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Vapour Generating and Heating Apparatus.
Inventor: GRIFFITH ETHELBERT SHEPHERD
Filed: 1898-11-17
Granted: 1899-01-21
Abstract: 24,231. Griffith, E. S. July 14, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Vapour burners.-Relates to gasoline vapour stoves, burners for metallurgical purposes, &c. The reservoir A is carried by a tube B branching from a tubular valve stem 20<1>, Fig. 11, which communicates with a chamber 21 from which branch the supply tubes 11, 13 to the burner. The reservoir can be put into communication with the drum H, which receives liquid gasoline which has drained away from the fan-housing D and trunk F through tho tubes 7, 7<1>. This is effected by turning the tube B with the reservoir into the horizontal position, the end of the screwed spindle 20<1> being thus released from the seating 22 so as to allow the passage of the gasoline from the drum H through the pipe 8 back to the reservoir. The reservoir being in the raised position, the cock C is opened and a jet of liquid fuel is projected against the vanes of an agitator or fan contained within the chamber D. The fan is set in rapid rotation, urging the gasoline spray and vapour into the trunk F together with an air current induced through the ports 2. The trunk F supplies the burners 6 through branch tubes having suitable controlling-valves. The burners consist of annular chambers with perforated crowns and central air passages surrounding the tubes N. The trunk F communicates with the annular chambers tangentially. The burner having been lighted, the cock 13<1> is opened, and the gasoline is supplied to the tube N, and thence to branching vaporizing-tubes which pass through the flame. The vapour generated in these tubes is injected at 14 into the chamber 3 so as to impinge on the upper vanes of the fan and set it in more rapid rotation. The trunk F thus receives both vapour and liquid spray. The cock C may or may not be closed after the burner has been started. A small auxiliary burner 18 supplied from the trunk F is used to keep the vaporizing- tubes hot when the burners 6 are not in action.

Title: Method of and Means for Preventing a Lock from being Removed from the Place where it is Fixed.
Inventor: GIBBONS FRANCIS JOSEPH JAMES
Filed: 1900-03-20
Granted: 1901-02-09
Abstract: 5314. Gibbons, F. J. J. March 20. Locks, key.-Relates to means for preventing a lock from being removed from the place where it is fixed. Fig. 1. shows the invention applied to a mortice lock fixed to a door. The case a is secured to the door by means of screws, and the fore end plate l is provided with lugs m, which pass through the case a and are engaged by projections on a locking-bar j. The bar j is operated by one arm of a bell-crank lever h, the other arm of which is acted upon by a bolt d, provided with gatings g and a spring e, and actuated by a key. The key for operating the bolt d is inserted in the keyhole c in an inverted position, the keyhole being shaped for this purpose. By shooting the bar j, the fore end plate is secured so that, without the key, it cannot be. removed, and hence the lock cannot be taken away. The plate l may be connected to the case a by screws n, as an additional security. In place of using the ordinary keyhole, a special keyhole may be provided for operating the bolt d, and in some cases the bolt may be dispensed with and the locking-bar j operated directly. To prevent the plate l from being forced by a chisel, it is bevelled so as to fit into the case a. When the invention is applied to a rim lock, the fore end plate is extended so as to form a cover, which slides over the lock casing. In the case of a padlock, a hollow casing, preferably of hardened steel, encloses the padlock, and is secured by appliances such as above described.
