Title: Ornamental mosaic element
IPC: B44C3/12
Filed: 1965-04-29
Abstract: A plate-like element of glass or a synthetic resin is provided with a groove or grooves which extends or extend from a point on the edge of the element across the full-thickness and across at least part of a face thereof, whereby the element is adapted to be used for decorative purposes on costume jewellery, articles of clothing, fashion accessories or other articles, either single or several of them together in the form of a mosaic.  The elements may have grooves on the front and back faces, and may be of a square, star, leaf, blossom, bar, round, triangular or hexagonal shape.  The elements may be silver plated.  The glass elements may be coarse or polished or ground.  The elements may be sewn and/or glued to fabrics such as etamine, canvas, ribbons, braids to form a mosaic e.g. sewn on to dresses. Threads for the attachment may be located in the grooves. Additional holes for fastening may be provided, say when used on leather goods, ladies' handbags, articles of costume jewellery. The arrangement of the mosaic elements on canvas may be such that the spacing of the elements coincides with the divisions of the canvas threads, or say on ribbon may form a complex pattern.ALSO:A plate-like element of glass or a synthetic resin is provided with a groove or grooves which extends or extend from a point on the edge of the element across the full-thickness and across at least part of a face thereof, whereby the element is adapted to be used for decorative purposes on costume jewellery, articles of clothing, fashion accessories or other articles, either single or several of them together in the form of a mosaic.

[Also in Group XL (a)] In a glow discharge switch for starting fluorescent lamps, wherein the glow discharge takes place between a fixed contact 5 and a bimetal strip 4 coated with emissive material 6, a conductor 7 is arranged in series with the strip 4 and is coated with a substance which, when the emissive material on the bimetal is nearly exhausted and in consequence a discharge starts from the conductor itself, emits the emissive material, some of which is then deposited on the bimetal element so that this gets a fresh coating. The arrangement provides a low constant operating voltage and constant time delay. The container may be filled with neon with 1 per cent argon at 25 m.m. of mercury pressure. The conductor 7 is refractory metal coated with alkaline earth oxides and alkaline earth metals in the manner of the "hot cathode" of a fluorescent lamp. When due to the glow discharge the.bimetal touches the contact 5, the current flowing through the conductor 7, which is in the shape of a double coil spiral, heats it and so further delays the moment when the element 4 moves away from the contact 5.

Abstract: 491,617. Brakes. NICOLET, V., and ROUSSELET, R. July 7, 1937, No. 18933. Convention date, Jan. 13. [Class 103 (i)] In order that the maximum braking action on a vehicle wheel or axle mav be obtained without skidding of the wheels without the necessity of varying the pressure applied to the brake shoes because of variation with the speed, of the coefficients of friction of the shoes and of adhesion of the wheels on the rails, a pair of brake shoes are used of which the rate of variation of the coefficient of friction with speed are respectively greater and less than that of the coefficient of adhesion and the total application force is. so distributed to the two shoes that the combined braking torque of the two shoes varies with the speed at the same rate as the coefficient of adhesion. As shown, a pair of brake shoes 4, 5 of cast iron and asbestos respectively are pivoted at 6, 7 on a carrier 1 which is pivoted at 2 to an operating lever 3. The values of the coefficients of friction of the shoes and of the coefficient of adhesion of the wheels with the rail at varying speeds is given and it is deduced that, to achieve the purpose of the invention, the ratio of the pressure applied to the cast iron shoe 4 to that applied to the asbestos shoe 5 is about 3: 1. This ratio is obtained by arranging the distances of the pivots 6, 7 from the line AB of application of the pressure applied to the carrier 1 in the inverse ratio.
