Abstract: 15,025. Bryan, B. E. June 27. Stiffeners.-A combined collar support and fastening-device for blouses, jabots, &c. has complemental fastening-means detachable from the stay members. The supports a may be sewn to the fabric of the collar, or may be attached thereto by the prongs b<1> of the detachable fastening-means b. These preferably are pushbutton fastenings, one of the supports a carrying the sockets b' and the other studs b<2>; or they mav be hook-and-eye fastenings b<7>, b<8> attached to prongs b<1>. The collar may be reduced in length without removing the device from the collar, by withdrawing the fastening- means sufficiently to allow the fabric to be rolled around the support, as shown in Fig. 7, the fastening-means being then pushed back into the supports; or the device may be attached to the collar in a suitable position and the surplus fabric doubled back or cut off. The fastening- devices are preferably bent at the top, as shown, so that the material through which they are passed may assist in holding them in position, and in the form shown in Fig. 7, the bend is such as to allow the fastening-member to project beyond the end of the collar to facilitate adjustment of its length. The stay members, instead of being in the form of a simple tube as shown in Fig. 3, may be formed as a frame comprising two parallel tubes, or as a flattened tube, or as two tubes united by a web. With these latter, a double-pronged fastening-device, Fig. 8, is used, the prongs b<5> of which may be bent as at b<6> so as to fit the stay members tightly.

Title: Improvements in Pressure Signals for Pneumatic Tires.
Inventor: HACKLEY GEORGE TROWBRIDGE
IPC: B60C23/00
Filed: 1912-11-04
Granted: 1913-06-05
Abstract: 25,284. Hackley, G. T. Nov. 4. Deflation of tyres, means for indicating.- Relates to a device to be carried on the valvestem of a tyre to give indications as to the pressure in the tyre by means of an indicating- button protruding through the side of the device, an inflating-aperture being provided at the outer end of the device. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a button 19 is held in the position shown by a pin 15 engaging a shoulder 20 until the pressure of the air in the tyre acting on the flexible diaphragm .14 becomes insufficient to overcome the spring 25, whereupon the latter retracts the pin 15 and the button 19 is pressed out by a spring 22. The force of the spring 25 can be adjusted to suit different tyres by means of the nut 23. An air passage is provided from an opening at the top of the device, normally closed by the cap 27, past the indicating-button to the lower part of the device, and the tyre valve is slightly loosened to allow the air to leak into the device, which is mounted on the valve-stem 6 by a nut 4, being then screwed tightly against the stem by turning the sleeve 3, thus allowing for valve-stems of different lengths. In the form shown in Fig. 8, the pressure acts on the rubber diaphragm 39 and presses the button 33 out against the force of the spring 34, thus indicating the pressure. The valve 40 prevents escape of air, the plunger of the usual tyre valve being depressed by the projection 46.

Abstract: 22,625. Young, J. B., and Furler, H. R. Oct. 7. Locking nuts. - A spring pawl permitting the rotation of a nut in one direction only consists of a single piece of wire 5, lying in a channel 3 in a nut 2 and formed with a tooth 9<a> projecting through an opening 4 into engagement with a number of spaced depressions 1<a> formed in the bolt. The wire is coiled at 7, looped at 9, and formed with an eye 6 projecting from the channel 3; the coil frictionally engages the walls of the channel. To release the lock, the eye 6 is pressed inwardly; this causes the loop 9 to ride up an inclined surface 10, withdrawing the tooth 9<a> into the opening 4. In a modification, the coil 7 is dispensed with, and the loop 9 is coiled; the end of the wire forming the eye 6 is carried into the channel and is bent round the shank of the device, forming a stop which engages a removable pin and prevents the wire from being withdrawn from the channel.

Abstract: 2315. Hammond, G. Jan. 28. Breech actions, sliding breech-block. - Consists in special means for operating the rotary breech-bolt of an automatic gun, and in a safety device to prevent firing of the gun unless the bolt is completely locked. The rotary locking movement is effected by a torsion spring mounted within the bolt and having one end abutting against a shoulder on a non-rotary sleeve on the firing-pin and the other against a shoulder on a bush 30 keyed to the bolt. A spring latch 48, Fig. 5, locks the sleeve to the bolt when the bolt is removed from the gun. The bolt is unlocked during the forward movement and retracted during the backward movement of a reciprocating slide 26 moved forwards by the powder gases acting on a sleeve 18 at the muzzle, and backwards by a spring 24. During the forward movement, a lug 56 on the slide engages a cam-groove 57, Fig. 13, in the bolt and rotates it; when the slide reaches its forward position, the lug 56 slips over a spring catch 61, Fig. 10, on the bolt, which is hence retracted to open the breech during the return movement of the slide. The catch is released when the slide regains its rearward position. During the forward movement of the bolt, the lug 56 slides idly in a straight groove 58, Fig. 13, in the bolt. The bolt return spring 74, Fig. 1, is arranged at the back of the grip and acts on the bolt through a bell-crank lever, The safety device comprises a fin 63 on the firing-pin adapted to register with a recess in the bolt only when the bolt is in its locked position.
