Abstract: 13,723. Denton, W. D., and Denton, R. W. June 17. Picture and like mounts.-Mounts for stamps, autographs, manuscripts, and the like are constructed of two plates, one at least being transparent, secured together at the edges or corners so as to leave a space between them f, r the specimen, which can be inspected freely without handling. Fig. 1 shows the mount made of two glass or other transparent plates 1, of any desired size or shape, fastened together by spacing-members 2 of any suitable material, such as thin pasteboard coated with strong adhesive. The specimen 3 is held in place by friction, but may be pushed out of the mount, when desired, by means of a thin blade or strip of suitable material, or, when, as in Fig. 6, three edges of the mount are closed by spacing- strips 6, by jarring the specimen out through the open end. When the removal of the stamp &c. is unlikely, all four edges of the mount may be closed by spacing-strips, which may be gilded or coloured, and the mount is quite dustproof. Mounts with open edges may have the inner faces of the plates cleaned by means of a thread or wisp. Mounts may be made similarly with one of the plates opaque, and also, where one of the plate3 is of thin flexible material, opaque or transparent, the two plates may be secured together by adhesive, the spacing-members being dispensed with.

Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 12,003. Saxby, H. E. June 8. Coupling; switches.-A plug connector, particularly applicable for connecting cargo lights &c. on ships to the lighting main, has a spring-mounted contact in the socket, and the spigot has two pins by which it is secured under a screw cap. The case 1 is fastened to the wood base 2, which also supports the insulators 8<a> with the conducting- bush 6 connected to a terminal. The socket itself is connected to the other conductor, e.g., the metal of the ship. An ebonite plunger 3 with a central conductor 3<a> is supported by a spiral spring 4, while a secondary plunger 5 is supported by a spring 7 in the bush 6, and is so arranged as to make contact with the conductor 3<a> when the latter is depressed. The spigot is made of two conducting-parts 10, 10<a> separated, as shown, by insulating-material 10<b>. The top end of the spigot is split to take the cable, and is tightened by screwing down a ferrule 11, or, if a concentric cable is used, the outer conductor is connected to the outer part 10 of the spigot, while the inner conductor is led through and soldered to the conductor 10<a>. When a twin cable is used, one strand is led to the inner part 10<a>, while the other is passed through the opening 12 and soldered to the outer part 10. The spigot 10 carries two pins 14 which fit in slots 15 in the socket 1, and the spigot is kept in position by a screw cap 16, Fig. 6, with slots 17 to permit the pins 14 to pass. The spigot is placed in the socket as shown in Fig. 1, and the cap 16 is turned to an extent limited by the pin 18 and the shoulders 18<a>. The circuit is completed through the terminal, bush 6, spring 7, plunger 5, and conductors 3<a>, 10<a>. To release the coupling, the cap 16 is rotated until the slots 17 are opposite the slots 15, when the spigot is ejected by the springs, thus breaking the circuit. The circuit is also broken between the plunger 5 and the conductor 3<a>. When the spigot is ejected, the plunger 3 acts as a water-tight valve to close the socket.
