Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 27,297. Galloway, C. Nov. 23. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Folding seats. - In a spring - raised seat for theatres, water - closets, &c., of the kind in which the seat when depressed is held in that position until occupied, whereupon the retaining-device is released, a link 7 is pivoted to the back of the seat, and its lower end engages cam - shaped grooves 9 in plates 10 fixed to the seat standard. As the seat is depressed to the position shown in full lines, the lower end of the link 7 moves along the front edge of the cam into a recess, whereupon the link serves as a strut to resist the action of the spring 6. When the seat is occupied or otherwise further depressed, the lower end of the link is lifted over the rear crest of the cam, and the spring 6 is free to raise the seat. When the seat is vacated, the link moves down the rear of the cam to its lowest position. In order that the link may not easily pass over the recess in the cam, springs may be placed on the seat stops 11 to increase the resistance to depression at that part of the movement. The cam and other parts may be enclosed in a hollow seat standard, and may be placed above the seat. The link may be pivoted to a crank on the seat pivot, or the seat may be fitted with a lever to which the link is pivoted so that a depression of the seat cushion instead of the seat as a whole may release the link. According to the Provisional Specification, the link may be brought sharply into the recess in the cam by the aid of a spring.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Piano Players and the like.
Inventor: KASTNER MACARIUS MAXIMILIAN
Filed: 1911-04-07
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 8723. Kastner, M. M., and Katz, C. April 7. Actions; expression, controlling.-In a pianoplayer, each primary valve admits air to two ducts leading to a secondary valve and an accentuating-device respectively. The tune-sheet controls means for closing the duct leading to the accentuating-device. When a tune-sheet aperture registers with a duct 2, the primary valve 4 is operated to admit air to the duct 5. The diaphragm 6 therefore operates the secondary valve 6<a>. The chamber 8 is connected to an exhaust-chamber 14, so that if the corresponding tracker-duct 12 is closed, the atmospheric pressure expands the diaphragm 11 and air passes through the ducts 7. 9 to inflate the diaphragm 10. The control-valve 6<b> is therefore held against the plate 6<c>, so that the striking-pneumatic is only connected to exhaust through a small hole in the plate 6<c>, and a subdued note is sounded. If a duct 2 and the corresponding duct 12 are simultaneously opened by the tune-sheet, the diaphragm 11 closes the communication between the ducts 7, 9. As the diaphragm 10 is deflated, the control valve 6<b> moves away from the plate 6<c> and opens a large connexion to exhaust, so causing the note to be accentuated. Specification 12,761/10 is referred to.
