Abstract: 27,032. Rosenthal, P. Dec. 2, 1908, [Convention date]. Dental instruments.- Dental rammers are fitted with an automatic or manually - operated device for feeding the leaf or ribbon to the tool as required. 'In the instrument shown, the ribbon f is wound on a spool c, and is fed along the guide j to the tool b when a lever i, depressed by the finger, is lifted by a spring i<2> and operates a pawl h and ratchet-wheel d. A guard k protects the spool, but allows the material g between the rolls of ribbon to be drawn away. In a modification in which the feed is automatic, the lever i and pawl h are replaced by an angle-piece connected to the reciprocating hammer; if the connexion is by a spring, the angle - piece can be held out of engagement with the ratchet as desired. In a, second modification, a spring is secured to the tool, and drags the ribbon between itself and the end of the guide j on the down-stroke.

The blade-holder 1, pivoted in the limbs 3 of a frame 3<a>, carries toothed members 4 which gear with toothed sectors 6 on the guard 5 pivoted below the holder and connected by a bifurcated projection 9 and link 10 with a plunger 11 pressed outwards by a spring 19 in the handle 14. The handle is connected to the frame by a screwed thimble 22 which forms a guide for the plunger. The spring holds the guard in the shaving or stropping position by virtue of the pivot of the projection 9 and link 10 lying, in the first case, to the front and, in the second case, to the rear of the axis of the guard. The blade and guard may be locked in either position by a rod 13 secured to a cap 15 sliding over the lower end of the handle and carrying a pin 17 engaging an inclined slot 16 in the handle. The rod is moved against the plunger 11 by rotating the cap 15 and depressions 20, 21 in the slot 16 prevent accidental movements of the rod in the inoperative or operative positions. The spring 19 is arranged between the plunger and a boss 18 on the rod 13, the boss also serving to guide the rod in the handle. Lugs 23 on the guard protect the user from injury by the corners of the blade, which is supported on stops 24.

Title: Improvements in Stationary Fire Extinguisher Systems.
Inventor: COONEY ROBERT LEE
IPC: A62C35/64
Filed: 1912-07-24
Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 17,258. Cooney, R. L. July 24. Sprinklers, a u t o - matic; extincteurs. - Relates to systems of the type in which sprinkler pipes are connected to a chemicalmixing tank or a water supply, and in which equal gas pressures are normally maintained in the sprinkler pipes and in the mixing-tank or dry-pipe valve casing by means of a restricted communicating-passage, the acid-bottle or drypipe valve being operated by the sudden difference of pressure produced by the opening of one or more of the sprinkler heads; relates also to a gas-venting device for accelerating the operation of the dry-pipe valve when a sprinkler head opens, the device being applicable to other types of dry-pipe valves. In the chemical system shown in Fig. 1, the gas pressures in the sprinkler pipe 2 and the mixing- tank 1 are maintained equal through a pipe 6, a passage 15, a cylinder 5, and a restricted opening 22 therein, and the unbalanced pressure in the tank I produced by the opening of a sprinkler head acts upon the underside of a piston 4, which is thus lifted to free a pivoted reversible acid-bottle 3, the stopper 19 of which is disengaged as the bottle overturns. A spring projection 21 at the base of the bottle lifts the stem of the piston 4, a projection on which then closes the passage 15. The acidbottle, together with its supporting-frame and fittings, may be removed through an opening having a cover 8. In the dry-pipe valve arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the equality of pressure in the valve casing B and the sprinkler pipe C is normally maintained through a restricted connexion 41. When a sprinkler head opens, the water falls in the casing B, and a float 40 acts upon a lever 37 to release toggle-links 33, thus allowing the water-valve 32 to open. The float 40 also controls water inlet and outlet valves 49, 45 respectively, whereby the required water-level is normally maintained in the casing B. When the valve 32 is opened, it is moved out of the way by the action of the flowing water upon a baffle 57, a lip 56 then engaging the upper edge of a lug 55. In the venting- device shown in Fig. 7, equality of pressure in the sprinkler pipes C, D and a casing 60 is normally maintained through a pin-hole aperture in a check-valve 72 and through a restricted connexion 64. When a sprinkler head opens, the greater pressure in the casing 60 forces water in a vessel 69 through a pipe 63 into the pipe C, and a float 67 opens a valve 62, whereby compressed gas in the pipe C is vented through the pipe 63 and an outlet 61, thtis allowing the dry-pipe valve B to open immediately.
