Title: Improved Artificial Respiration Apparatus.
Inventor: GILL HUBERT ALEXANDER
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 1914-08-17
Granted: 1915-08-17
Abstract: 18,746. Gill, H. A., [Fowler, F. T.]. Aug. 17. Respiration, appliances for promoting.-Artificial respiration apparatus of the twin-cylinder type is provided with: (1) valves for regulating and limiting the pressure or suction in the apparatus ; (2) adjustable means for positively limiting the stroke of the pistons ; (3) an indicator showing the length of stroke and the speed at which the pistons should be worked to suit patients of different ages. On the up-stroke of the pistons, air, oxygen, or any mixture is drawn through the mixing-valve 41, passage 48, and ball valve 56, to the cylinder 15, and the lungs of the patient are emptied through a pipe 38, suction-limiting valve 40, passage 59, and ball valve 60, into the cylinder 16. On the downstroke, the oxygen &c. in the cylinder is forced to the lungs through the passage 53, ball valve 58, tube 54, pressure-limiting valve 39 and tube 37, while the impure air in the cylinder 16 is expelled through the ball valve 61. The suction-limiting valve 40 comprises a casing divided by a diaphragm 67 into a space 68 open to the atmosphere, and a space 69 open to the tube 38 from the face-mask and to the passage 59 from the cylinder 16. The diaphragm carries the valve head 72 against its seating 78<a>, and thus shuts off the cylinder 16, when the pressure in the space 69 is sufficiently below atmospheric to move the diaphragm against the spring 79, which is seated against the bridge 80 and bears on the adjustable socket 78 threaded on the rod 77. There is preferably provided also a valve 96, by rotating which, through 180 degrees, the valve 40 and cylinder 16 may be thrown out of commission. The pressure-limiting valve 39 is very similar to the valve 40, but the head 72 is forced to its seat (against the pressure of an adjustable spring) by excess of pressure in the space 69. The piston stroke is adjustably limited by forming recesses 88 around the piston-rod 28, the required recess being engaged on every up-stroke by a spring- pressed wedge 86 moved into the correct angular position by rotation of the carrier disk 81 within a fixed ring 82, which is graduated as described above, a suitable pointer being provided on the disk 81. When the apparatus is not in use the pistons are locked in the closed position by a spring- pressed stop 91. Suitable legs 19, 20 and a footrest 21 enable the apparatus to be steadied in use.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Submarine Mines.
Inventor: ELIA GIOVANNI EMANUELE
IPC: F42C14/04
Filed: 1914-09-15
Granted: 1915-10-15
Abstract: 19,811. Elia, G. E. Sept. 16, 1913, [Convention date]. Mines, marine.-Relates to firing-devices depending on the relative motion between an inertia device and the mine to cause the explosion of the mine when struck by a ship, and consists in the use of a fly-wheel, cylinder, or lever rotatable about an axis passing centrally therethrough and preferably also centrally through the mine. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a fly-wheel s is mounted on ball bearings on a cylinder k co-axial with the mine z, and is formed with a flange r coacting with rollers q at the end of levers o, which are pivoted at p and have noses n under a collar j on the firing- pin c. This has a square head f engaged in known manner by jaws g pivoted to the stem h of the shackle i to which the anchor cable is attached. The flange r of the fly-wheel has gaps through which the rollers q can escape when the wheel is turned to a certain position; but the wheel is normally locked in.a position where the rollers are retained by the flange, the locking being performed by a spring catch v, which is deflected to release the wheel by a spring plunger x when a plug 3 has been dissolved away by the sea water. When struck by a ship, the mine rolls, while the wheel s on account cf its inertia does not participate in this rotation ; this relative movement brings the rollers q in front of the gaps in the flange r through which they escape, the buoyancy of the mine causing them to swing to the dotted-line position and release the collar j, the continued action of the buoyancy of the mine causing in a known way the cocking of the spring e and the subsequent release of the firing-pin c from the jaws g to fire the detonator b. Accidental relative rotations are checked by a spring brake 1 acting on the fly-wheel. In one modification, the flywheel is placed outside the mine casing, and in other modifications, the explosive charge w is mounted on ball bearings and acts as the fly-wheel, and the flange r is arranged at the lower or upper end of the revoluble charge.
