Title: An Improved Non-Pneumatic Rubber Tyre, and Method of Manufacturing the same.
IPC: B29D30/02
Filed: 1910-12-19
Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 29,481. Polack Akt.-Ges., B. May 7, [Convention date]. Non-metallic elastic bodies and cores.-In tyres with a core of spongy rubber alternating with layers of fabric, the layers of fabric, preferably spirally wound, are gapped at parts not in alinement with each other. In building-up the tyre, fabric a, Fig. 1, preferably knitted, is treated on both sides with rubber solution, and coated on one side with a layer b of indiarubber mixed with ammonia. The fabric is then wound, and severed as at c a short distance beyond the end of each convolution, and the core so formed is placed in a cover d, Fig. 6, along with securing-plates e having screwed bosses g,. by which the tyre is secured to the mould during vulcanization and to the wheel rim in use.
Patent GB-191107877-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Telephone Systems.
Inventor: FALES EDWARD DANIEL
Filed: 1910-01-19
Granted: 1911-04-19
Abstract: 7877. Fales, E. D. Jan. 19,1910. Drawings to Specification. Automatic exchange systems of the kind in which some or all of the subscribers are connected to district offices, or form private branch exchanges, are provided at these sub-centrals with two sets of connectors, one set serving only for calls through the main exchange from other sub-centrals &c., and the other set dealing with local calls, which do not pass through the main exchange. The connectors for local calls are so modified that they act as repeaters for the selecting-impulses used in making a connexion through the main exchange. In the system described, the subscribers' lines terminate in line switches, groups of which are controlled by a master switch of the kind described in Specification 26,301/06. The line switches have access to several sets of contacts, each set of which forms the terminals of the local connector and a secondary line switch, controlling access to the trunks to the main exchange. When a subscriber calls, his line switch connects him to the terminals of an idle local connector and secondary line switch, which latter at once completes the connexion through to a first selector at the main exchange. Calls through the main exchange are made by adjusting this selector in the usual way, but in order to make a local call, the first selector is raised to a particular level in which all the contacts are dead. This causes the release of the first selector and of the secondary line switch at the sub-central, at the same time changing the connexions of the local connector so that the succeeding sets of impulses are received by the operating- magnets of this connector. The description is substantially the same as the corresponding part of the description of Specification 1422/10.

Abstract: 20,540. Bolte, O. Sept. 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Hearing appliances; stethoscopes. - Soundconducting instruments such as stethoscopes and ear trumpets are designed to minimize the diminution in intensity of the sound transmitted. Fig. 2 shows a stethoscope having a tube d, the walls of which are preferably hollow, which passes through the hollow stem c of a funnel a carrying a diaphragm b. The diaphragm has a central hole through which the tube d passes, the end e of the tube being adapted to enter the ear. The sound vibrations travelling up the tube cause the diaphragm to vibrate, and by means of an annular channel f between the latter and the stem c these vibrations are communicated to the ear-piece e reinforcing the sound. The tube d may be solid or the hollow shell may be filled with a soundtransmitting substance. The diaphragm and sound-reflecting surfaces of the tube and funnel may be impregnated or coated with resinous substances or metallic deposits, or with both. The ear trumpet shown in Fig. 3 has the tube d which passes through the funnel a and diaphragm b enlarged towards its outer end, the diaphragm being towards the ear. An annular space f is left at the converging end of the funnel.

Abstract: 11,838. Uyeno, S. May 18. Hydrogen.-In the generation of hydrogen by the action of water on an amalgam of aluminium containing zinc or tin or both, an alloy of aluminium, zinc, and tin is made, its surface is amalgamated with mercury, and the mercury is then caused to penetrate the entire alloy by heat. In an example, 40 parts by weight of aluminium are melted and taken from the furnace, and 7 parts of zinc and 3 parts of tin are mixed in; the alloy formed is cast in a flat plate. The faces of the plate are then rubbed over with a small quantity of mercury or, preferably, with an amalgam obtained by slightly heating 3 parts by weight of mercury and 1 of zinc or tin, by means of a steel brush and at a raised temperature below 357‹C. The plate is then heated to nearly 357‹ C. until the amalgamation is complete. In the production of hydrogen, the amalgamated alloy is added to 15 to 20 times its weight of water in a suitable generator.
