Title: Improvements in or relating to sound producing and other dolls and animal toys
IPC: A63H3/28
Filed: 1926-01-28
Abstract: 260,821. Gross, L., and Schild, N. Jan. 28, 1926. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Animals; dolls.-A doll or toy animal having a pivoted head fitted with a pivoted lower jaw member is so constructed that upon turning the head .away from or toward either side of the normal position, the lower jaw is caused, respectively, to move downwardly to open the mouth or upwardly to close the mouth. The head a of a toy animal is pivotable about a pin k by means of which it is attached to the body part m. The lower jaw f is pivoted to the head and is normally maintained in closed position by a length of elastic cord. The lower side of the jaw f is connected by a cord n to the bellows p of a sound-producing device, so that upon turning the head to one side the cord n is drawn taut and causes the mouth to open. The other end of the cord n is passed through an aperture in the side of the body part and attached to one of the arms q. A downward movement of the arm causes the mouth to open, and the bellows to collapse, thus operating the sound-producing device. Specification 18061/94 is referred to.

Patent GB-161739-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in apparatus for adjusting rollers of roller mills
IPC: B02C4/32
Filed: 1920-01-29
Abstract: 161,739. Simon, E. D., and Simon, Ltd., H. Jan. 29, 1920. Roller mills.-In apparatus for adjusting the rollers of roller mills, the shaft to which the movable roller is eccentrically connected is mounted in or carried by a member or members mounted eccentrically to the shaft, and the shaft is angularly adjustable about its axis independently of the member or members which latter are angularly adjustable eccentrically to the shaft by means engaging with the member or members, and with the frame of the mill or other stationary part, these means being independent of the shaft and the means for angularly adjusting the same about its axis. The supporting-lever 2 of the adjustable roller 1 is eccentrically connected to the shaft 3 by the usual rod 4 having a part 5 adapted to engage a block 6 pivoted on a pin 7 eccentrically mounted on the shaft 3. The shaft 3 is arranged eccentrically within a sleeve 8 having at each end an eccentric boss 9 mounted in bearings in the end frame 10 of the mill. By means of a lever 11, the shaft 3 can be partially rotated in the bosses 9 to quickly move the roller 1 into its operative position. A pivoted pawl 12 on the lever 11 coacts with a stop 13 on the frame, and retains the roller in its operative position. A nut 15 pivoted in the forked end of an arm 14 carried by one of the bosses 9 is engaged by a screw 16 rotatably mounted against axial movement in a block 17 pivotally mounted on the frame. By turning the milled head 18 of the screw 16, the arm 14 is caused to partially rotate the bosses 9 in their bearings and adjust the shaft 3 about the axis of the bosses, thereby finely adjusting the roller 1 relatively to the other roller 19. On moving the roller 1 to its inoperative position by means of the lever 11, the fine-adjustment means remains in the set position and is unaffected by shock or jar consequent to sudden release of the roller. In a modification, the sleeve 8 is arranged eccentrically to the shaft and concentrically with the bosses. The fine adjustment may be carried out by pivotally connecting the screw 16 to the arm 14 and adjusting the position thereof by a nut rotatably mounted against. axial movement on the frame.
