Title: Diving Apparatus for Submarine Work.
Inventor: DURAND LEONE
IPC: B63C11/10
Filed: 1912-07-05
Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 15,728. Durand, L., and Bembina, M. July 5. Diving.-Relates to diving-apparatus approximating in shape to that of the human figure. The hull, Fig. 1, is built up of four members 2, 3, 4, 7, bolted together and connected by means of rings 56, 57, 58 and shock-absorbers 61 to a frame consisting of side members 59, upon which spherical wheels 46, 47 are mounted, so that the apparatus may be used either in a prone position, as shown in Fig. 10, or in a vertical position. The front wheels are connected to springs 66, and their axles are mounted upon vertically rotatable pivots so that, when in the prone position, the apparatus may be guided in any desired direction as it is propelled along by the tug. The steering-wheels 47 are turned by means of rods 48, 50 pivoted at 49. Air is supplied through a pipe 26, Fig. 3, fitted with a safety-valve 28, which is brought into action if the pipe 26 is broken. This pipe leads by a pipe 19 to a small chamber 15 and thence to the three elliptical open-ended air-supply pipes, two of which 16, 17 are shown in Fig. 3, placed so as not to injure the diver. Vitiated air is removed through a funnel opening into the lower end of the apparatus and leading by an internal pipe to a pipe disposed on the exterior of the helmet symmetrically with the pipe 20, Fig. 3, and also fitted with a safety-valve 28. Fig. 8 shows grasping-devices comprising ball-joints 31, 32, in the interior of which slide rings 35 connected to rubber cuffs 37 attached to the outer ends of armoured and waterproof sleeves 40, the inner ends of which are fixed. The outer ends of the sleeves are provided with stiffening-armlets 104 linked by links 36 to the rings 35. Gloves 42 may be provided. In order to compensate for the pressure on the outside of the cuffs 37 at varying depths, air is supplied through tubes 100, 101 to the space between the cuffs and the armlets from rubber bags carried on the back of the apparatus and enclosed in cylindrical casings, the ends of which are perforated. The spherical wheels are loose upon axles 70, Fig. 12, rigidly held by stirrups 65, Fig. 1. They are fitted with bearings connected to the rim 77 by means of a cross-like plate 71 and are formed of two half-spheres of oak 72 held together by metallic caps 73. The two suspending-devices, Fig. 13, comprise stirrups 78, bolted plates 80, metallic cables 81 secured between plates 82, stirrups 83, and a buffer spring coiled in a box 103. Two electric lamps are connected to the side members of the frame. Each lamp carries an accumulator and is provided with three glasses at right-angles. Fig. 11 shows one of the shock-absorbers placed between the hull and the frame. The box of each carries a spring 62 of rectangular section, one end of which rests upon a piston 63 rigidly connected to the tube 59 and sliding tightly within the box.

Granted: 1913-10-13
Abstract: 20,852. Dreyfus, H. Sept. 12. Carboxylates.-Cellulose esters of various solubilities are obtained by allowing acetylating or other esterifying solutions of cellulose fatty-acid esters to continue reaction with the addition of water, acids, acid derivatives, mixtures thereof, or other substances which by self-esterification, formation of fatty acid, or otherwise, will destroy the acetylating-agent; the products are isolated when the required phase of solubility in alcoholbenzene, chloroform, alcohol-chloroform, acetone, alcohol-ethyl acetate, alcohol-benzyl alcohol, &c. has been attained. The use of water gives different results according to the proportion of water added. Phenols, oxyacids, alcohol, sulphuric acid, and hydroxyl derivatives in general are also specified as suitable reagents. When the acetylation is effected with small proportions of acetylating-agent, the desired products may be obtained without any reagent being added. Specifications 21,628/01 and 20,672/10 are referred to. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 19,330/05, 26,657/09, 20,977/11, 20,978/11, 21,376/12, and 22,645/12.

Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 5790. Smellie, R. March 8. Couplings, non-automatic, of the type in which a coupling-chain is operated from the side of the vehicle by a rotary transverse shaft. The coupling-link 9 is connected by a pair of links 8 to a pair of levers 7, which are pivoted to the forked end of a lever 1. fulcrumed on the end of a supporting rod or chain 2 and operated through a crank 3 and a crank-shaft 4 from hand-levers 6 at the sides of the vehicle. To uncouple, one of the levers 6 is depressed so that the forked end 14<x> of the lever 1 is moved forwards and upwards. The levers 7 are thereby moved to contact with the pivot pins 11 connecting the links 8 to the coupling-link 9, and the ends 7<Î> of the levers 7 bear against stops 14 on the end 14<Î> of the lever 1 as shown in Fig. 3. Further movement of the lever 6 in the same direction causes the link 9, when clear of the opposing hook, to take by gravity the position shown in Fig. 4, in which the levers 7 rest upon the stops 14 and the links 8 upon stops 15 on the levers 7. Still further movement of the lever 6 in the same direction moves the link 9 back into coupled position. The shaft 4 is carried in swivelling brackets 5, which are each connected by a bar 17 to a collar 18 on the buffer rod, so that, upon buffing the vehicles together, the coupling-mechanism is moved rearwards to allow sufficient clearance for its operation.
