Title: Improvements in or relating to means for attaching straps for example to loops of a wristlet watch
IPC: A44C5/16
Filed: 1943-08-24
Abstract: 569,201. Securing straps to articles such as wrist watches. FUERST. N. Aug. 24, 1943, No. 13790. [Class 43] Means for securing a strap end in looped formation, e.g. in a loop of a wristlet watch, comprises a thin member shaped as in Fig. 1, with shoulders 8 at one end and lugs 10 at the other, which when the member is bent to form a loop are engaged by the lugs which are bent over to maintain the lugs and shoulders in engagement. The lugs 10 may be formed by making two transverse cuts 11 and one diagonal cut 12 and bending up the tangs 10 thus formed. The lugs 10 are inserted up through a flap 6, Fig. 4, cut in a lining part 2 of the strap with one part of the member underlying the lining and emerging through a slit 5 therein. After turning over the member to engage the lugs 10, these are passed through slits 4 in a free portion of the lining and bent downwards to retain the parts together, after they have been passed through a watch loop. The free end of the strap 1 covers the exposed lugs 10.

Abstract: 840,923. Road rollers. KOEHRING CO. May 7, 1956, No. 14064/56. Class 6(1). A roller comprising at least one roll mounted on a beam 52 horizontally pivoted on the roller frame 20 is provided with a hydraulic cylinder 60 for supplying a constant torque to the beam so that the roll will bear against the ground with a constant pressure which will be maintained regardless of irregularities in the ground surface. As shown, two rolls 29, 30 are mounted on the beam and a double acting cylinder 60 is pivoted and is fed with pressure fluid from a manually controlled valve provided with a constant pressure valve 90 which may be adjusted for varying the pressure of the fluid supplied to the cylinder. The two ends of the cylinder are connected by a pipe 76 provided with a valve 77 which may be opened to connect both ends of the cylinder and allow the beam to float freely. In a modification the beam is pivoted to the frame in a horizontal axis which coincides with the axis of a trunnion carrying a vertical kingpin attached to the yoke of one of the rolls. In a further modification, one of the rolls is carried on the machine frame and a single roll is carried on the pivoted beam. In all cases a roll 28 is provided and is driven by gearing from a motor 33 mounted on the frame which also drives a pump 64 to supply pressure fluid to the cylinder 60. Specification 819,266 is referred to.

An hydraulic internal shoe-drum brake comprises two brake shoes 6, 7, each bearing at one of their ends against a projection on the back plate or on a brake shoe carrier 4, 5 on the back plate and being adapted to be expanded at their other ends by means of an hydraulic actuator 3. The brake shoes are interconnected at the ends near the actuator 3 by an automatic slack adjuster 9, 10 and their other ends take the form of thrust elements 16 between which is a floating mechanical expanding device 17. As shown, a second automatic slack adjuster is provided between a pin 12 on the back plate and a pin 14 on the shoe 6, both adjusters comprising a slotted and internally-toothed tube engaged by a rod disposed internally of the tube and having matching teeth. The adjuster 9, 10 is connected between the shoe ends with clearance and a spring 11 abuts one side of the tube 9 to prevent the adjuster from rattling. A gearing 15 is disposed between the pins 12, 14. The mechanical actuating cam 17 floats on a radial rib provided on the head of a rotatable brake shaft and acts to spread the thrust elements 16 apart. In this case since the adjuster 9, 10 is strong enough to transmit the forces produced and the cam 17 is floating the brake acts as a servo-brake and to ensure freedom of movement of the shoe 6 a compression spring 25 is placed over the slotted tube of the second adjuster and bears against a pin 26 therethrough and the pin 12.

Abstract: 558,876. Panels; wall and ceiling linings. HAY, H. M. Oct. 16, 1942. No. 14539. Addition to 530,192. [Classes 20 (iv) and 87 (i)] In a modification of the invention of the parent Specification wherein screws are employed for securing the metal laths to the fibre boards, over-turning of the screws c is prevented by arranging them to screw into plates e, which contact with the face of each lath b remote from the fibre board a and are prevented from rotating by abutting against a flange or the web of the lath. In the construction shown in Fig. 1 the plates e seat upon the flanges of a T-shaped lath with one edge contacting the web of the lath, while the screws c pass through elongated holes d in the lath flanges so as to permit differential expansion of the lath and board. The screws may be self-tapping, in which case it is unnecessary to thread the holes in the plates e. Modifications are described in which the plates e seat within a channelled lath and in which they fit over channelled or inverted channelled laths, while in further modifications, Figs. 8 and 9 (not shown), the plates are located partly over the board a and partly over the flanges of the laths, over-turning being prevented by the engagement of an edge of each plate either with the web or with the upturned edge of the lath.
