Title: Improvements in Multiple-note Horns or Hooters.
Inventor: MALIVERT JULES EUGENE
IPC: G10K9/18
Filed: 1913-01-15
Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 1227. Malivert, J. E., and Chaudeur, J. A. Jan. 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Wind instruments.-In multi-note horns of the kind comprising a rotary distributor operated through a ratchet device from the air bulb each time the latter is compressed, the pawl is mounted on a slide adapted to be reciprocated by means of a pivotally mounted and spring- pressed flap, exposed on its rear side to the air issuing from the air bulb, and the distributor is furnished with one or more cardboard disks having apertures of equal area specially arranged on concentric circles whereby the various horns are selected and operated. The hooter comprises a cylindrical casing A containing the distributor and connected at one end to the horns B and at the other end to an air bulb C. Upon the compression of the air bulb, the flap 16 is moved in opposition to the spring 18 and carries with it the slide 21 on which pawl 23 is mounted. The air then passes through the passages 17, 25 into the casing A, and through the operative apertures in the distributor to the corresponding horns. Upon the consequent decrease of pressure, the spring 18 restores the flap and pawl to their initial position, thereby causing the wheel 3 and distributor to advance one tooth. Mounted on the shaft 2 is a threearmed carrier on which the cardboard disk is mounted and by which it is rotated in contact with the inner wall of the chamber 12. Each chamber is connected at 13 to one of the trumpets B and, through an aperture a<11>, b<11>, c<11>, d<11>, or e<11> and the apertures in the distributor, to the casing A. Each of the apertures a<11> &c. is arranged on a different concentric circle which agree with the circles on the distributor. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) refers also to a modification in which the pawl 23 is mounted directly upon the flap 16, the slide being dispensed with; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 27,700. Coade, L. G. Dec. 2. [Cognate Application, 9001/14.] Sewing-machines; stopping - gear, automatic. - A sewing-machine is stopped when either thread fails, or the fabric is depleted or fed to the machine in a deviated position. The driving - clutch is held closed against a spring by a toggle-strut b, Fig. 1, which is moved from its resistant position by the devices b<1>, c, e<2> when coupled to the needle-bar by the failure of a thread and by the devices d, Fig. 1, and h<1> ... h<10>, Fig. 6, when a part h<7> is engaged by a cam h<8> on the failure of the fabric. When the needle-thread fails, a lever c<5>, normally supported by the thread, falls and releases a latch e<3> which thereupon moves into the path of a projection on the needle - bar and so causes the operation of the devices c<2>, c, b. In a multiple - needle machine, each thread controls a lever e<5>, which can act independently to cause the stoppage of the machine. When the underthread fails, the needlethread is carried forward by the fabric until it pushes upwards a lever f<5>, Fig. 2. A cam f<3> is attached to the lever f<5> and a spring f<4> which presses upon the cam, causes the cam to rotate and the lever f<5> to move further upwards. At the same time, the spring in moving downwards carries with it a rod f<6> and causes a deflexion of the lever e<5> similar to that occasioned by the failure of the needle-thread. Two levers h<5> are supported by means of feelers h which rest on the edges of the fabric web H. If the fabric is depleted or so deflected as to release one or other of the feelers h, one or both of the levers h<5> fall into engagement with cams h<8> and thereby the devices h<6>, h<9>, h<10>, d are operated.
