In a modification, Fig. 10, the front elevator and the screw propellers are dispensed with, the propulsion being effected solely by the rotary propellers e, and elevating by a tail 12. Moreover, the planes b, d are replaced by planes b<1>, and a rear rudder 13 is provided. Propelling is effected by means of feathering blades x, y, Figs. 7 and 8, mounted on a pair of oppositely rotating disks e, which are connected to vertical shafts o driven from the engine, and consist of circular planes of canvas connected to centre-pieces n and stretched by spokes m. The blades x, y are secured at right-angles to each other upon a shaft v, which is connected to the disks e and mounted to rotate in a bearing w fixed to the shaft o. Feathering is effected by means of arms z fixed to the shaft v and fitted with rollers 2, which engage a cam 3 mounted at the top of a sleeve 4. The shafts o are further fitted with auxiliary blades 6, Figs. 1 and 2. In a modification, Figs. 10 and 12, two blades x<1>, y<1> are mounted upon separate shafts v<1>, v<2>, one of which has an arm engaging the cam 3 described above and communicates its motion derived therefrom to the other shaft for feathering, by means of pinions 14, 15.

Abstract: 14,528. Koch, C. F. R. von. June 21, 1910, [Convention date]. Gas-heating furnaces.-A method of heating gases to high temperatures for the purpose of producing endothermic reactions such as the oxidation of nitrogen, consists in supplying pre-heated gas to the heating-zone of a furnace and independently supplying adjacent or around such zone cooler gas adapted to flow in the same direction as the preheated gas. It is thus possible to use preheated gas and at the same time protect the walls and other parts against overheating. A rotary movement may be imparted to the gas by the use of tangential inlets or otherwise. As shown applied to an electric furnace, Fig. 1, having electrodes 3, the preheated gas is admitted centrally at 4 and the cooler gas through surrounding openings 5. In a modification, Fig. 3, an electric arc, gas flame, or other hot body 7 extends in the direction followed by the gases, and the inlets 8 are somewhat tangential.

The mould panels are cut away at the corners, and are spaced apart by distance-pieces 5 on perforated bars 2, which pass through the apertures at the corners of the panels and are secured by wedges 7. The panels 1<a>, 1<x> have perforated flanges and two or more rows of perforations 9 in their faces, arranged either in parallel or staggered relationship, and of such pitch as to give the required range of adjustment. The panels 13 are of angle shape, with slotted ends to receive the bars 2, and with perforations 14, 20, adjacent panels being connected together by perforated angle - bars 15. The outside corners of the moulds are formed of two of the panels 1<a>, or panels 1<a>, 1<x>, the panels 1<x> being smaller than the panels 1<a>, connected together, with the flange of one abutting against the face of the other, by loops or staples 11, passed through registering holes, and wedges 12. The inside corners of the moulds are formed of the panels 13, 1<a>, connected together by the staples 11, passed through registering holes, and by the wedges 12. The flanges of the panels are secured together by the staples 11 or 24 and wedges 12. The panels are connected together, so that one can be raised above the other, by bars 8 pivoted to brackets on staples 34 inserted in slots in the panels, and secured by wedges. Floor moulds are connected to the wall moulds by the angle panels 13, and are supported on T-rails on uprights.

Abstract: 9219. Mathieu, A. April 18. [Addition to 16,832/09.] Fish - hooks; automatic striking-apparatus.-The fixed part C, Fig. 1, and the movable part A of automatic fish-hooks, of the kind described in the parent Specification are separated, when the detent D is released, by two springs F, F<1> on the parts A, C respectively. The ends of these springs abut against loops K<1>, K<2> at the end of the line or wire K. The springs are in compression when the hook is closed and their expansion when the hook is released causes the separation of the parts A, C. The expansion of the spring F' is limited by a stop C'. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, in which the hook is mounted within an artificial bait, a single spring F only is used; the detent D has at its end an eye encircling the fixed wire C so that the hook is released in whichever direction it is seized by the fish. In the further modification shown in Fig. 6, a ruber spring F is used and is kept in tension when the hook is closed by stops L, L<1>. In this arrangement the line passes through a guide-eye in line with the fixed part C.
