Title: Improvements in or relating to artificial arms
IPC: A61F2/58
Filed: 1920-08-20
Abstract: 150,332. Arnal, A. E. Aug. 28, 1919, [Convention date]. L i m b s , artificial. - An artificial arm, all the movements and adjustments of which are capable of being carried out by means of the hand of the sound arm, comprises upper and lower arm members constituted by side straps or rods, an elbow comprising joints permitting rotary and bending movements respectively, spring actuated pins engaging holes in the moveable members of the joints to lock them in adjusted position, and a hollow wrist block with means for engaging the grooved tang of a hand-tool, or tool holder to hold same in place and to lock it in adjusted angular position. The upper arm consists of a leather sleeve riveted to side members 1 integral with a disk 3 which is pivoted by a central bolt 4 to the disk 5<a> of a forkshaped member 5. The disk 5a is locked in adjusted position by a pin carried by the head 8<a> of a spring pressed rod 8 and passing through a hole in the disk 5<a> into one of a series of holes in the disk 3. The arms of the member 5 are connected to the disk-shaped ends 13 of the forearm members 14 by a pivot bolt 12. Movement of the forearm is limited by a cross rod 18 engaging shoulders on the ends of the member 5 and the joint is locked in adjusted position by spring-pressed pins carried by members 15 and each passing through a hole in one of the arms 5 to one of a series of holes in the corresponding member 13. The wrist member consists of a hollow cap 19 having a key-hole aperture 28 at the closed end to receive the grooved tang 29 of a hook, Fig. 3, or of a tool-holder or artificial hand. The first and third grooves of the tang engage the walls of the aperture 28 and of a recess in a cross member 21<a> respectively so as to prevent longitudinal movement and in order to prevent disengagement a lever 26 is swung about its pivot 26<a> so as to engage the central groove of the tang. Rotation of the hook or tool holder is prevented by means of a slotted lever 22 which is turned about its pivot 22<a> to engage the hexagonal end 30 of the tang. The levers 22, 26 are held in adjusted position by springs mounted within the heads of the levers to maintain them in contact with the walls of the slots 25, 27 in the cap 19. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes also a tool-holder, Fig. 4 (Cancelled), which comprises a sleeve 31 within which the handle of the tool is received and gripped by a set-screw 33. The sleeve is pivoted to a member 32 fitted with a tang and the pivot joint may be locked by mechanism similar to that employed at the elbow. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 592,236. Conveyer chains. WEBB CO., J. B. Dec. 5, 1944, No. 24323. Convention date, Oct. 22, 1943. [Class 24] In a conveyer chain comprising a series of slotted links 15 each connected to an adjacent link by a pair of side bars 17 and by headed locking pins 16 which connect the ends of a link and a pair of side bars, the latter are constructed as forgings from which only sufficient of the interior flash has been removed to provide apertures for the locking pins. The remaining portion of flash 21 is curved longitudinally of the side bar to increase structural strength and to guide the teeth of the sprockets. The apertures 22 for the locking pins taper as shown. The flash may have a drainage hole 24 and strengthening ribs 23 at its ends. The side bar is provided near its ends with notched portions to receive the heads of the locking pins and the middle portions of the end shoulders 25 may be removed to reduce the contact with the heads of the pins.

Title: Improvements in the recording of vibrations
IPC: G11B11/00
Filed: 1932-09-01
Abstract: 407,027. Recording sound. MILLER, J. A., 4627, 193rd Street, Flushing, New York, U.S.A. Sept. 1, 1932, No. 24431. [Class 40 (ii).] Sound is recorded according to the constant amplitude process on a carrier suitable for reproduction of the sound by optical means by using a cutter mechanism tuned to have a pronounced resonance peak at a high frequency and employing a record material offering sufficient resistance to the cutting as to flatten out the pronounced resonance peak of the cutter mechanism to a degree that, in accordance with the response characteristic required by the constant amplitude process, will result in a substantially flat response characteristic. Fig. 3 shews the response characteristic of the cutter mechanism having a tuned peak 3 in the higher frequencies and a peak 2 in the lower frequencies. The peak 3 is damped by the record material comprising a mixture of gelatine and soap, or an unsoftened xanthogenate of cellulose such as viscose or the product known under the Registered Trade Mark " Cellophane." The peak 2 is damped by compensation in the amplifier feeding the cutter. Specification 403,164 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,144,154. Transferring containers to and from vehicles. STEADMAN INDUSTRIES Ltd. 13 June, 1966 [1 June, 1966], No. 24482/66. Heading B8E. [Also in Division E2] Containers are transferred in horizontal stepwise motion to and from a road vehicle by reciprocating carriages 60 mounted in transverse guideways 64 on said vehicle and having a plurality of spaced dogs 62, 72 such that for successive reciprocations of said carriage succeeding dogs will engage the aperture 8c in the corner casting of the container for effecting movement of the same. The carriage is moved by a pneumatic ram 66 and the dogs are rotatable through 180 degrees to a position appropriate to the direction of movement of the container and are spring biased in the upward direction and are so shaped as to disengage from the corner casting when the carriage is moved in a direction opposite to that of the container. In an alternative embodiment Fig. 22, 23 (not shown) the carriage (60<SP>1</SP>) mounts a plurality of pairs of pivoted levers (114) to each of which is attached a lug (62<SP>1</SP>), the container engaging surface (62<SP>1</SP>a) of each pair being in opposed directions. Each lever (114) is biased upwards by a pneumatic cylinder (120) acting on the lever (114) through a lost motion mechanism. Those cylinders (120) connected to the lugs having the surface (62<SP>1</SP>a) in the same direction are actuated in unison. An auxiliary bracket (106) may be attached to the container for engagement of a slot (106c) therein by the lugs (62<SP>1</SP>). The container may be secured to the road vehicle by retractable pins 22 adjacent the ends of the guideways to engage apertures 8b in the corner casting of the container. The pins 22 are mounted on a plate 20 pivoted to the guideway and also mounting a pneumatic cylinder 42, the piston of which is pivotally fixed to the guideway whereby on actuation of the cylinder 42 the pin 22 in retracted against the action of a spring 46. The containers may be demounted on to legs (92), Figs. 12, 14 (not shown), which legs have a horizontal hollow extension (96) mounting a hub (98) of similar shape and for engagement with an aperture (8a) of the corner casting. The outer extremity (100) of the hub (98) is pivotal thereabout by a handle (104) to lock said extension (96) to the container.

Class 75(1) To ensure stoichiometric combustion at all loads or fuel inputs, a liquid fuel atomizer 1 sprays the fuel into a gasifying chamber 2 to which air is supplied at constant volume and pressure from a casing 3 via holes 2, and the exit of which connects directly via a duct 5 with a burner head 6 to which additional air is supplied from a casing 8 to complete the combustion of the hot gases from the chamber 12, the amount of additional air supplied being controlled by means 13 linked to the liquid fuel supply control; alternatively, whilst maintaining a constant fuel supply, the air is supplied to the gasifying chamber in an insufficient amount for complete combustion and the additional air for complete combustion is supplied to the gas burner. As shown the chamber 2 has a ceramic lining 4 and is shaped as two cones in base to base relation with the atomizer 1 at one apex and the opposite apex providing the exit to duct 5. The duct 5 is of porous ceramic material for cooling diffusion of air therethrough from the casing 3, and terminates in a flange 6 forming the burner head.
