Title: Improvements in Spark Plugs.
Inventor: DIRAND LOUIS JOSEPH
IPC: H01T13/14
Filed: 1913-05-20
Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 11,737. Dirand, L. J. Oct. 29, 1912, [Convention date]. Sparking-plugs, in which a removable member carrying the sparking electrodes ii secured to the base of the plug by a bayonet joint, have one of the electrodes made in the form of a wire loop, 21 which is bent literally away from the central electrode 27 and towards the base part of the plug. This loop is carried by a sleeve 12 on the outer end of which is mounted an annular locking-member 15 with slots 16 and grooves 17 adapted to receive lugs 20 on the base part of the plug. The outer end of. the central electrode is formed into loops 28 which embrace a.pin 32 carried by the terminal cap 31 on the end of the insulator 22 ; this arrangement gives a yieldable joint which compensates for the unequal expansion of the porcelain and the electrode. A handle 19 is provided to facilitate detachment of the plug. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a modification, Fig. 7 (Cancelled), in which the sleeve 12<a> is provided with a tubular extension 38, the end 39 of which is concave to the cylinder and forms one electrode. The other electrode passes through a hole in the end 39 and apertures 43 are provided to enable the sparking points to be cleaned. In this for.n unequil expansion of the porcelain and central electrode is compensated by providing in a recess at the end of the insulator, a spring 45 which, bears against a nut 46 screwed on the electrode. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 17,053. Stubbs, M. July 25. [Addition to 18,246/12.] Rope grips.-Relates to the rope grip described in the parent Specification. (L) The draw - link e is formed with a cam - shaped inner end which forces the jaws b rearwards in the wedge - shaped frame c to increase the grip, when the pull of the load depresses it from an approximately vertical position into the substantially horizontal position shown in Fig. 3. (2) The wider end of the frame c is adjusted quickly in a lateral direction by a double cam action. The operating-lever n is mounted on a square connecting-bolt j, which carries facecams i at each end co-operating with similar cams formed on the outer surface of the frame c. By depressing the lever, the cams i are rotated to force the sides of the frame together to increase the grip. On raising the lever, the frame is released and the sides are separated by a spring as described in the parent Specification. In a modified construction, the lever is mounted on a round bolt and is connected directly to the cams. (3) A similar double-cam mechanism may be fitted to the narrower end of the frame on the bolt g and be actuated by the draw-link, the cam-shaped end of which is omitted.

Abstract: 20,725. Dobson, E. Sept. 13. Holders.-A bayonet socket a is movable outwards from an insulating-block b against a spring e to break the circuit, the parts being retained in this position by a pin and an angular slot. In the form shown, the block b is enclosed in a sleeve c threaded to engage a fixed support, the spring e abutting against flanges on the sleeve c and on a nut d. A pin f fixed transversely in the block b engages a second pair of bayonet-slots in the casing a, these slots extending to the rim of the casing so that the parts may be readily detached. The block b is provided with two holes b<1> for housing contacts adapted to hold the bare ends of the supply wires against the lamp. Means may be provided for locking the lamp in the casing a in the pulled-out position, such as a spring on the casing a engaging the lamp pins, or a split spring-ring having slots for securing the pins and adapted to close the entrance of the bayonetslot of the casing. The contacts i, Figs. 4 and 5, may be flanged tubes having small V-pieces adapted to be pressed into the insulation of the supply wires, and small or large gauge wires may have their bare ends engaged in slots i<1>, i<2>, i<3> in the contacts. The wires are gripped between the block b and the flanges of the contacts i, the contacts being slit at i<4> and bent over to secure them to the block. In a modification, Fig. 7, each contact is a stamping of semicircular crosssection provided with a perforation k and a notch k<1>, and bent at the lower end; or bent strips stamped to form spring retaining-tongues, or tubular contacts with flanged ends for fixing them to the insulating - block, may be used. According to the Provisional Specification, (1) the nut d may have a tapered groove into which the casing a screws; (2) the locking-device may be a spiral spring ring; and (3) the insulating- block may slide against a spring in a fixed casing, the block being grooved lungitudinally to engage a projection on the casing.

Granted: 1915-03-18
Abstract: 6855. Linden, L. March 18. Filters, cleansing; filters with horizontal filtering layers; filters with vertical filtering partitions; filtering-media. - Relates to apparatus for filtering, sterilizing, and aerating liquids, of the type described in Specifications 5512/14 and 6273/14. According to the present invention, two filtering systems are arranged end to end so that liquid normally passes in opposite directions through them, but the direction of flow in either of them can be reversed for cleansing the filters. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the liquid leaves the settling-chamber 1 by a pipe 2 and is discharged by cocks 3 so as to pass through the two filtering systems and escape by ports 6 in the central chambers 7. Each system may consist of a chamber 4 containing balls of iron, terra-cotta, marble, &c., a settling-chamber 8, a filter 5 of iron sponge, and a settling-chamber 7. Filtering-frames 81 may be disposed horizontally in the upper part of the settling-chambers, so that the liquid passes through them. Hypochlorites or other sterilizing- material may be supplied to the filters, and aerating- apparatus can be connected to the chambers 7. In a modification, the liquid passes vertically instead of horizontally through the filtering- elements. To cleanse the filters, one of the cocks 3 and the corresponding port 6 are closed so that part of the liquid from the filtering system in action passes on through the other set and is delivered through one of the cocks 9.

Title: A New Means of Obtaining the Weight of Railway Rails, Girders, Beams, or similar Sectional Lengths.
IPC: G01G1/26
Filed: 1915-07-10
Abstract: 10,076. Pooley & Son, H., and Dobson, J. July 10. Steelyard apparatus.-The weights of railway rails, girders, beams, &c., are ascertained by using the rail as its own weighing-lever. The rail 1 is clamped within a U-shaped stirrup 2 with its centre of gravity situated in proximity to the knife-edges 4 projecting from the carrier and supported on bearings 6. A graduated scale 13 is temporarily attached to the stirrup and rests upon the rail. A poise weight slidable on the graduated scale is adjusted to the zero graduation, and the rail with its various attachments is balanced about the knife-edge 4 by means of a counterbalance weight placed on the left-hand arm of the rail. The bearing 6 is then lowered by means of a nut 11, so as to place the knife-edge 4 out of action and to bring a knife-edge 5 into action. The poise weight is then adjusted along the graduated scale 13 until the rail is again in equilibrium, whereupon the weight of the rail may be read off. The rail may be adjusted vertically within the stirrup 2 by means of wedges 17.
