Abstract: 4067. Mamet, J. F. March 11, 1912, [Convention, date]. Composite springs; connexions, attachments, and adjustments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.-Relates to shockabsorbers for vehicle springs, and consists in providing two pairs of bell-crank levers with unequal arms, the short arms of each pair being pivoted each to one end of a common spindle, the elbows of each pair being cross-connected with those of the other pair of bolts upon which the vehicle frame and suspension springs are respectively pivoted, and the long arms of each pair being cross-connected by bolts which are adjustable in position and are connected to each other by one or more helical springs. Stay tubes and helical springs surround the crossbolts to preserve the proper distance between the pairs of levers. In the form shown in side and end view in Figs. 1 and 3, pairs of bellcrank levers a, b and a<1>, b<1> are mounted at the ends of their short arms on a common spindle c. The elbows of the levers a, a' are connected by a common spindle d upon which the end of the frame spring of the vehicle is mounted; the suspension spring is similarly mounted on a spindle e connecting the elbows of the levers b, b<1>. Cross pins f connect the ends of the long arms of the pairs a, a<1> and b, b<1>, these pins being adjustable in any of the holes f<1>, and serving to carry the ends of one or more helical springs g. Stay tubes surround the pins f to maintain the separation between the levers a, a<1> and b, b<1> constant, and these tubes are assisted by springs h. Should the springs g break, the levers act as a simple shackle.

Each main plane comprises a number of overlapping metal plates 30. hinged at 31 to the frame 33 and connected together so that the plane is collapsed by moving backwards the front section 38. The sections are provided with rollers 36 which are guided by upper and lower grooved rails 34. The front section 38 is provided with a locking-pin 43 adapted to engage with notches N in the lower rail 34 so as to retain the section in its adjusted position. The pin 43 is carried by one end of a lever 44 pivoted to the upright carrying the roller 36 and is raised to disengage it from the notch by the cords 37<A>, 37<b> for opening or collapsing the plane. The cords are attached to the ends of the lever and pass around a drum 32 actuated by the operator or by a clock-work motor when the planes have to be opened or closed quickly. The tail plane comprises sections 66, 67, 68 and is collapsed by a cord 71 against the action of a spring 73 which tends to spread open the tail. A plane 38<1> is adjustably mounted at the front of each wing and is secured in its adjusted position by pegs inserted into holes in a quadrant.

Abstract: 17,489. Leigh, E. W., and Hall, J. S. July 30. Pottery, throwing and turning.-A machine for making jam pots and like receptacles from billets of clay consists of a rotary mould-table with a series of moulds, for example four, a pressing - plunger, rotating shaping - tools, and ejecting-mechanism, the operations of pressing, trimming, and grooving and discharge being automatically performed. The trimming of the open end of the pot and the cutting of the string groove is effected by a pair of tools on a carrier 21 which is mounted on a shaft 20 rotated by a pulley 22 and belt from a countershaft. The carrier 21 is provided with a trimming-tool 23 and a grooving-tool 25 for cutting the string groove. The tools are mounted on pivoted blocks 24, 26 adapted to be rocked by engagement with the upper edge of the mould to bring the tools into the working positions. For securing the mould table at the positions of rest, the table is notched around its periphery for the engagement of pawls 28, 29, the latter being spring or weight controlled, and the former automatically operated by a striking - member 30 on a connecting-rod g. The pawl 28 is connected by links 31, 32 to a counterweighted or spring lever 33, the position of which is adjusted with respect to the member 30, so that prior to the rotation of the table, the member 30 acts on the lever 33 to withdraw the pawl. Accidental rotation of the table is prevented by the pawl 29. To prevent any shaking in the table due to the clearance between the ends of the pawls and the table notches, a brake 34 is applied by means of a spring 35, link 36, and hand-lever 37 engaging a notched quadrant 38.

Abstract: 23,024. ChÚron, L. C. D. A. Oct. 15,1912, [Convention date]. Optical systems, stereoscopic. Consists of an optical system for magnifying ordinary stereoscopic positives. In the device shown in Fig. 1, the positives I, I<1> are placed at the foci of lenses O, O<1>, behind which is a lens L which projects the images in superposition on the condenser C arranged at its principal focus. The images are seen by eyes placed at S, S', with or without the aid of eyepieces. In a modification, the lens L is dispensed with, and the positives are placed further from the lenses O, O<1> than their common focal plane, the centres of the lenses being nearer together than the centres of the positives, and the axes of the lenses being somewhat inclined to each other. Alternatively, the centres of the lenses O, O<1> are at the same distance apart as the centres of the positives, and each lens has a prism in front of it to produce the necessary convergence. Instead of using prisms, the axes of the lenses may be considerably inclined to each other. To reduce the size of the apparatus, the device shown in Fig. 5 is employed, consisting of the mirrors M, M<1> in addition to the lens system. The positives are placed within an ordinary viewing-stereoscope T, and are illuminated by a lamp X and reflector Z. Similar apparatus may be used for projecting stereoscopic views comprising more than two positives for each view. The camera in this case comprises more than two cells, each cell having an object-glass, and a single shutter being employed for obturating all the lenses at once.
