Abstract: 30,051. Reason, H. F., and Reason Manufacturing Co. Dec. 23. Clock-work actuation.-In a time switch of the type having a compound setting-dial, and a switch-actuating device operating therewith, a wheel 17 in the clock train meshes with a segmental lever 18, which is adapted to retain the switch in the ' off ' position when the clock is run down, and to release it when the clock is wound up, the whole apparatus being contained in a case to which the consumer has no access except for the purpose of winding the clock. The time switch is provided with timesetting and releasing mechanism of the kind described in Specification 353/09, but the escapement plate 8, instead of being driven by a separate spring, is driven from one end of the main spring through gearing. The segmental lever 18 carries a hook or pawl 19, which, when the clock is unwound, engages a pin 20 on the release lever 3 as it changes from the ' off ' to the 'on' position, and thereby prevents the closing of the circuit. The onus of winding the clock is intended to fall on the consumer, the supply being cut off or passed through a penalizing-meter arranged in shunt across the switch contacts 12 if the clock is allowed to run down.

Abstract: 2302. Lehmann, P. Jan. 29. Aerostats.-The altitude of non-rigid aerostats is controlled by means of rigid ballonets which may be filled with air, exhaust-gases, or air heated by the exhaust gases of the motor. Fig. 1 shows a non-rigid aerostat a<2> with a rigid surrounding air-case b<2> constructed of bamboo or aluminium framing covered with gas-tight material. The air is passed in or withdrawn from the chamber f by means of pipes i, g, h, and the exhaust gases or heated air are conveyed into the chamber through a pipe p, the valve n being closed. The gas in the aerostat may be kept cool by passing a stream of air through the pipe g and allowing it to escape through a valve k. The air-case b<2> may contain several gas-holders. Fig. 2 shows a non-rigid aerostat a<3> provided with a rigid air-case b<3> and an air-chamber b<4> which, when fully inflated, fills the case b<3>. When a certain amount of air is withdrawn from the bag b<4>, gas escapes through the valve s into the chamber t, from the aerostat. Inflation of the chamber b<4> causes the gas to pass through the valve u into the aerostat. The valves s, u may be adjusted to open automatically when definite alterations ot altitude take place.

Abstract: 19,244. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. April 12, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Relates to breech mechanism of the type in which a transversely-sliding breech-block is closed by a spring nccumulator connected to a closing-lever, and consists in so arranging the accumulator that the turning-movement acting upon the pivot of the lever when the breech is open is practically zero, and gradually increases to a maximum as the breech closes. Figs. 2 and 3 show, respectively, the breech-mechanism in the closed and open positions. The hand-lever c mounted on the pin i has an arm d pin-jointed to a block f, which works in a slot g in the breech-block h. An arm k on the pin i is connected to a fixed pin o by telescopic members l, m, which enclose a helical spring n. In the open position of the breech-block, the members k, l, m are in a straight line, and the spring n exerts no tendency to rotate the pin i. The ejector p, by means of a projection r engaging the breechblock, starts the closing movement of the breechblock as the cartridge is pushed home; the arm k is moved out of line with the parts l, m, and the leverage of the spring n increases as the breech closes.
