Supporting.-Relates to telephone attachments of the type comprising a clip or support for the telephone receiver mounted by a hinged or ball and socket joint at one end of a fixed or telescopic arm, the other end of which is provided with a ball and socket or universal joint attachment to enable the arm to be moved into anv convenient position and consists in mounting the ball and socket or universal joint at the lower end of the arm on a base clamped to the base of the telephone. Means are also described for depressing the switch hook when the instrument is not in use, without removing the receiver from its clip or support. In the construction, Fig. 5, the receiver is held in a clip C mounted by means of a small ball and socket joint SBJ on a fixed arm A provided at its lower end with a large ball and socket joint LBJ which is mounted on a dog D on the base R. The telephone instrument is pressed against the dogs D, d on the base B by a screw CS. The arm A instead of being of fixed length may be made adjustable. The clip C is provided with four knobs forced on to two rods which are free to rotate in the looped ends of the clip. A flange F is secured on the arm A by a screw member G so that, when the arm is moved into the vertical position, the flange F depresses the switch hook. A metal V may be clamped to the socket of the large ball and socket joint or otherwise attached to the base B or dog D so as to serve as a guide for the arm A. Fig. 6 shows a modified construction in which the arm is made telescopic, the clip C being mounted by a hinge joint on the upper end of the arm A which is provided with a fixed flange F. With this construction, depression of the switch hook is effected by collapsing the arm A as well as moving it into the vertical position. Springs are fitted between the tubes of the telescopic arm.- In both constructions, the large ball joint is provided with a powerful spring and washer W, Fig. 6. According to the Provisional Specification, the ball joint at the lower end of the fixed, adjustable or telescopic arm may be attached to the column of the telephone or to the wall, desk, instrument &c., and a separate attachment for depressing the switch hook comprising a hook catch clamped or clipped to the telephone instrument may be provided.

Patent GB-859649-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in reciprocating pumps
IPC: F02M59/32
Filed: 1959-01-23
Abstract: 859,649. Fuel injection pumps. BESSIERE, P. E. Jan. 23, 1959 [Jan. 28, 1958], No. 2526/59. Class 102(1). [Also in Group XXIX] A fuel injection pump comprises a piston 3 which is actuated to deliver fuel through an outlet 7 by fuel delivered by an auxiliary piston 11 to a chamber 2. The return stroke of the piston 3 is produced by fuel in the chamber 2 which is pumped by a piston 1 through a feed conduit 5 to the pump chamber 4. The piston 1 being of larger diameter than the pump piston 3 delivers excess fuel than that required by the pump chamber, this excess escaping through a throttled conduit 9. The feed conduit 5 is provided with a throttled passage 106 which is controlled by a valve member 124 subjected to the pressure of liquid delivered by a regulation pump 128 through conduit 129. The bleed conduit 129a leads from conduit 129 and is provided with a throttled passage 130 controlled by a valve 131 which is also subjected to the pressure in conduit 129. Preferably the throttled passage 130 increases with increased pressure from the pump 128. The pump 128 and the auxiliary piston 11 are both driven at a rate proportional to the engine speed so that the feed conduit 5 is throttled more as the speed increases and above a predetermined speed the auxiliary piston 11 supplies fuel to actuate the pump piston 3 before the piston has completed its return stroke and hence the quantity of fuel delivered is reduced.

Title: Improvements in or relating to moulds for the production of typographical elements or bodies
IPC: B41B5/12
Filed: 1933-01-27
Abstract: 393,539. Casting printing-elements &c. PIERPONT, F. H., Oakfield, Redhill, Surrey, and MONOTYPE CORPORATION, Ltd., 43, Fetter Lane, London. Jan. 27, 1933, No. 2611. [Class 100 (iii).] Moulds.-In moulds for producing typographic elements by incremental or additive casting, one of the side-blocks is provided with a spring plate or block, which is attached to it at one end, so that pressure on the cast element can be relieved before ejection, in order to prevent damage to, or distortion of the cast. The mould comprises fixed and adjustable side-blocks A, C, shown in plan in Fig. 2, between which slides a dimensioning and ejecting blade E, Fig. 4. The adjustable block C is recessed to accommodate a spring plate B, one end of which is attached to the block. The plate B is normally at a slight angle to the casting-cavity, and it is pressed forwards into line with the side-block, before the casting takes place, by a screwed bolt K operated by a lever K<1> and a cam or other means. The side-block A and the plate B preferably have inset pieces a, b to form the side-walls of the mould-cavity. The mould is dimensioned pointwise by two exchangeable point blocks D, D<1>, located between the sideblocks, which are clamped together by bolts L. The metal is injected through a passage G<4>, Fig. 4, in a baseplate G, and passes through a jet-passage F<1> in a sliding cross-block F. The block F is withdrawn after each cast, and an ejector F<2>, having a stud engaging in a cam-path F<4>, pushes out the jet-piece. The friction on the cast is further reduced by a roller N, mounted at the exit side of the mould flush with the face of the side-block C. The top of the mould is closed by a matrix 0, which may or may not produce a printing: surface. In the case of an interrupted printing- surface, the matrix is raised after each cast ; in other cases the matrix remains clamped on the mould. For elements of less than typeheight, a rib on the matrix projects downwards between the side-blocks.
