Abstract: 24,718. Kingsbury, J. E., [Western Electric Co.]. Dec. 12. Telephones ; telephone systems.-Relates to telephone systems in which a central source of power is employed for both signalling and conversing. In the subscriber's apparatus, either transmitter or receiver may be shunted by an impedance coil, which may form an additional circuit on the induction coil. Arrangements are described by which "private" or " exchange " extensions connected to a local exchange may communicate with that exchange, with one another, or the "exchange" extensions with the main exchange through the local exchange by means of a source of power located at the central exchange. At the exchange A the source of current b is connected to one line 1 and to earth, a signal relay a<5> being connected to the other line 2 and earth ; a<6> is the cut-off relay. In a modified arrangement, two signal lamps are arranged, one in connection with each line, the extra lamp being in circuit with the relay a<5> and taking less battery power. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement in which B is an exchange extension with a continuation to C, the switch e being capable of remaining in either side or middle position, so that B can talk with A, B with C, or C with A. C may also be arranged as a "private" extension, in which case the switch e cannot take the middle position and C cannot talk with A. In the case of several lines being assembled at B some of which are " private and some "exchange," the lines 1 and 2 are brought to a jack one side of which is connected to the local line and is normally earthed, whilst the line to the other side is branched to the local line, and the two sides of the local line contain series of impedances bridged by a series of condensers. The local station is also provided with two plug sets for exchange or private working.

Abstract: 9214. UrgellÚs, J. M. May 18. Stoppers; refilling, preventing.-The valve casing A is made of glass, with a seat at its lower end for the ball valve D, and is looked in the neck of the bottle by a ball e, or by a curved rod e<2>, seated against a cork or rubber cushion e<1> in the groove a<2> in the casing, and adapted to engage in a corresponding groove in the neck when the casing has been fully inserted. A packing a' of cork &c. is also employed to form a tight joint with the neck. The valve D is made hollow or relatively light, while the follower ball d, which backs the valve D, is made relatively heavy. The valve D is guided within the casing by the projecting ribs a, between which the ball d can fall into an eccentric position. When the bottle is inverted, the ball d falls into the cone B, which has a lateral slot b to permit the outflow of the liquid. A glass spiral C surrounds the cone, to prevent tampering with the valve by means of a wire &c. The upper end of the spiral is fixed to the projections b<1> on the cone, and the lower end is fixed to the casing. A plate E of metal &c. is placed on the casing before the ordinary cork is inserted, to prevent the corkscrew or pieces of cork from injuring or obstructing the valve mechanism.
