Abstract: 7240. Rubin, E. May 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Projectile fuses.-Relates to fuses for combined shrapnel and common shells provided with a transverse change-over device between the time-fuse and the two portions of the shell, adapted in one position to lead the ignition direct to the base chamber of the shrapnel portion and by a by-pass filled with time composition to the common shell or high-explosive portion to burst the latter after it has been expelled by the explosion of the shrapnel part, and in another position to lead the ignition direct to the common-shell portion to burst the whole shell. According to the invention, the device is slidably adjustable instead of rotatably. As shown in Fig. 1, the device is in the form of a slidable plug d having two ports, namely a straight port a<1> leading to the fuse tube c for the base chamber of the shrapnel part and to the by-pass h for the detonator e of the common shell part, and a port f filled with quick powder, which, when the plug is shifted outwards, connects the time fuse directly to the common shell part. There is also a percussion fuse g for exploding the shell on impact, if the time fuse has not already exploded the common-shell part.

Abstract: 1551. Maschinenfabrik Moenus Akt.-Ges. Jan. 20, 1913, [Convention date]. Surface areas, computing.-In area-measuring apparatus for leather and like materials, in which the movement of the measuring-parts is communicated to the lever actuating the indicating-pointer through the usual system of integrating-levers, and thence by a flexible band engaging the curved surface of a segmental slide adjustably mounted on the actuating-lever, the curved surface is concentric with the fulcrum of the lever in one position only of the slide and consequently only transmits the movement of the measuring-parts accurately in this position. To remedy this, the slide g is formed in two parts g, t, the part t being independently adjustable with respect to the main portion g of the slide by being pivoted thereto at a point u, approximately coinciding with the lowest point of contact of the flexible band i with the curved surface h of the part t when the pointer a is in its zero position.

Abstract: 2869. Matthewman, W. Feb. 4. Dolls.-Dolls' eyes are arranged to wink and to have a gradual sideways glance by means of one or a system of weights suspended from a fixed portion of the doll. The device may also be used as a mascot on a vehicle or in a ring or pin or as an advertising medium, and may be illuminated. Eyes E, Figs. 1 and 2, are carried on rods E<1> pivoted to a fixed frame P, and are made to glance sideways by rods C pivoted at F and carrying a weight W. The rods C also actuate lids L, L<1> through links L<5>, L<4> engaging arms L<3>, L<2> respectively. For a given movement of the weight, the upper lid is moved further than the lower one, as the link L<4> has a greater movement than the link L<5>. In a modification, Fig. 3, a link E<3> operated by a single weighted rod C moves both eyes in a glancing direction. This system is shown in Fig. 5 where a pivoted weight C<Î> operates unequal arms 0 to give unequal movement to lids L, L<1> as described in Specification 19,905/13. Modifications are described in which one eye is fixed or in which one eye is actuated in an opposite direction to the other by varying the point of attachment of the operating-lever.
