Title: Improvements in Electric Quick Make and Quick Break Vibration Proof Switch Fuses.
Inventor: PERFECT REGINALD CECIL
IPC: H01H9/10
Filed: 1913-01-24
Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 1984. Perfect, R. C. Jan. 24. Switches, quick-action. - In quick-make and quick-break switch-fuses wherein the moving- contact member is mechanically locked while the quick-action springs are strained, the switch arm c, pivoted at d, and its operating- member e are connected together by compression springs f mounted on bars g pivotally connected at one end to the switch arm or the operating- member and, at the other end, slidably supported by the operating-member or the switch arm respectively, and so arranged that, in action, the springs are compressed not only up to their dead-centre position but also for some distance beyond it. The switch arms c are pivoted at d to brackets n<1>, and their inner ends are formed with concave surfaces i, i<1>. In operation, to bring the switch into the ' off ' position from the position shown, the handle a is moved to the right-hand about its pivot a', carrying with it the member e. By this movement, the spring f is compressed owing to the reduction in the distance between the pivots e<1>, h. At the moment when the deadcentre position of the spring is reached, rollers j<1> mounted upon an extension of the handle, as shown, engage the concave faces i of switch arm c and prevent its operation by the spring, which during the continued movement of the handle a is further strained until the rollers j<1> leave the concave surfaces, when a quickaction results and the spring acts to hold the switch-arm, against vibration, in the off ' position. A return movement of the handle a produces a quick-make. The member c may form the moving contact member, or, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the outer end of the member c may be pivoted to a member k' parallel to the bracket n<1>, these two parallel members being connected together by the link m<1>. By this parallelogram construction, the contact member l always moves parallel to itself. A positive lock for the contact member during the movement of the operating-member is formed by a spring plate p mounted between the pivots d, a<1> and having an inwardly-bent portion which is engaged by a pin projecting beyond the surface of the switch arm. One of the rollers j<1> presses the plate inwards and liberates the switch-arm when the spring has been fully strained as described. A positive ' kick-off ' device is constituted by a plate q pivoted at q<1> and engaged, at the limit of the movement of the handle, by one of the rollers j<1> so that its nose kicks against the switch arm c if the arm has not already been moved by the spring action.

Title: Improvements in Colour Photography.
IPC: G03C7/00
Filed: 1913-03-20
Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 6903. Dawson, O. S., Dawson, H. E., and Cinema Halles, Ltd. March 20. Colour photography.- In a process for the pro-, duction of multicolour screens, different physical states are produced in a sensitive coating by unequal exposures through two screens or two separate exposures through one screen, and the base is treated with dyes which selectively colour the differently exposed parts. The process is also applicable for the reproduction of certain types of continuous tone pictures. A film or other transparent support is sensitized with bichromated gelatine, and exposed between two black-and-white ruled screens positioned so that the rulings do not coincide. The exposure from one side is longer than from the other side, say in the ratio 12 to 4. The parts a of the film represent the single exposure of the light action 12, the parts b represent the single exposure of light action 4, the ports c the cumulative effect of both exposures, namely 16, and the parts d are these that are not exposed and from which the colloid is washed away. The film is now selectively coloured by immersion in successive baths of saffronine, brilliant green, and naphthol yellow, whereupon the most exposed ports a, c will be coloured green and the least exposed parts b will be coloured red. If the base is celluloid, the third colour blue is obtained by immersing the film in a spirit dye, such as patent blue, which will only colour the parts d. If the base is of glass, it is re - coated with emulsion and exposed through the back and coated with Victoria blue. Instead of simultaneously exposing the film from both sides, the exposures may be successively made from the same side through the same screen jn different positions. For transparencies or prints on paper from negatives taken through screens made as described above, the viewing - screen may be reconstituted on the transparency by the same method. In the application to continuous tone photographs of subjects which lend themselves to the formation of the above-mentioned physical states, the component negatives are taken through selective colour filters, two of these negatives are used in the same manner as the line screens above, and the two component colours of the positive thereby produced. To produce the third colour, the plate is re-sensitized and exposed through the third component negative, and dyed with the third colour.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Internal Combustion Pumps and Compressors.
Filed: 1913-09-30
Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 22,066. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Vernon, W. F. Sept. 30. Direct explosion apparatus.-In internalcombustion pumps and compressors of the type in which the kinetic energy of a column of liquid assists the compression of the combustible charge, liquid fuel is sprayed directly into the' combustion chamber and vaporization effected therein, the temperature of the head of the combustion chamber being maintained above 100‹ C. The head of the combustion chamber may consist of a dome thermally insulated from the combustion chamber, and may be bulged so as to obtain a comparatively long path for the fuel sprayed in. Fig. 1 shows a pump of the type having a ball float 3 on the surface of the liquid column. The top of the combustion chamber consists of a dome 21<a> insulated by an asbestos washer 23 and having a heat-insulating jacket 24. The cooling of the head of the chamber by splashing is prevented by the float 3. During the later portion of the down-stroke, air is drawn in through the valves 7, and upon the return stroke, burnt gases are first expelled through the valve 8 until this valve is closed by contact of the float 3 with the lever 9, whereupon the air which had remained below the burnt products is compressed in the top of the combustion chamber. Fuel is finally injected into the combustion chamber by a pump 15 operated by the further rise in pressure in the combustion chamber, and ignition is effected either spontaneously or by an ignition device. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the head of the combustion chamber is shaped so as to give a long path to the fuel spray. The fuel pump may be operated by a movement of the exhaust-valve stem against a spring, subsequently to the closing of the valve. Specifications 20,736/06, 18,594/07, 7152/10, 27,753/10, 314/11, and 15,468/11 are referred to.
