Abstract: 18,755. Blender, H. Aug. 31. Indicators or annunciators. - Electric order apparatus is arranged for the ordering of dishes by waiters from the kitchen of a restaurant. A waiter pushes a contact on the switchboard B, Fig. 1, bearing his number, thereby completing a circuit through the bell 6 and the coils of an electromagnet, which move their armature so as to show the corresponding number in the opening 5 of the kitchen panel A. Simultaneously, an armature is thrown over to give the engaged indication " E " on the switchboard. Two other contacts marked " ? " and " O " indicate a request for execution of orders and for use of telephone respectively. There is a contact b<2> for each dish, and this is pushed the number of times that the dish is required, that number being displayed by electromagnetic indicators 13 in the kitchen, above each of which is a counting-apparatus 27, 26 for registering the total number of dishes of each variety supplied. The indicators 13 are operated by electromagnets, Fig. 2, and spring-held armature 14, the augle-piece 15 of which presses the pin 16, Fig. 4, and forces the pawl 17 out of gear with the wheel 18, which is then moved forwards one step by the spring 19 and cord passing over the pulley 21, the pawl being immediately returned by the spring 19. The indication of the disc 13 on the spindle of the wheel 18 is thus changed by one unit for each energization of the circuit. The armature 14 actuates, through a pawl 24, numbering-wheels 26, 27 for registering the total number of dishes ordered of each variety. When the bar 11 is pulled out by hand, pegs 32 thereon strike toothed sectors 31 engaging with pinions so as to set indicators 15 to zero. Simultaneously, the indicators 5 are re-set and a contact 12 made which causes an armature to be thrown over and the indication " E " obscured. A spring returns the bar.

Abstract: 14,849. Wilks, A. July 1. Bags; parcel-carriers and shawl straps.-The handles of portmanteaus, hand-bags, rug straps, hold-alls, and the like are made of metal, and may be covered with leather. The handle, Fig. 1, is made from two trough-shaped sheet-metal stampings, connected by rivets 8 on the ends of the distance-pieces 4, 5, 6. The end rings 9, 10 are connected to the handle by eyes 11 provided with tubular shanks secured to the handle by rivets 12, and made from sheet-metal blanks of the shape shown in Fig. 10, of which the end portions 13, 14 are bent up into a semicircular trough shape forming one half of the shank, while the blank is folded crosswise at 11 to form the loop. If desired, the ends of the handle may be extended and closed round the loop parts after they have been inserted in the handle. In modifications, the handle is made from a single blank by means of dies, or it may be formed from a piece of solid-drawn steel or other tube, which is tapered from the centre towards each end, filled with pitch, and bent to the required shape. When the handles are required for kit-bags and the like in which two handles are used, they are made from two blanks, one flat, the other trough-shaped, so that each handle is D-shaped in cross-section. If required, the handle may be of the same width throughout, or the central portion of the handle may be made of a straight piece of tube and endpieces 37, 38, Fig. 29, attached. If the handle is to be used for a rug strap, the end loops are made of a flat shape of the proper width to take the strap. The end loops may be replaced by hooks for enabling the handle to be used as a parcelcarrier.
