Title: Improvements in and relating to automobile door opening devices
IPC: E05B65/12
Filed: 1919-04-24
Abstract: 140,626. Delohi, N. J. April 24, 1919. Operating vehicle doors by driver.-Relates to means for opening and closing the doors of automobiles operable by the driver and associated with a door catch operated by knobs as usual. The door catch consists of a latch bolt 4, Fig. 1, which is normally held in engagement with a keeper 5 by a spring 6 and carries at the inner end a vertical arm 25 engaged by a forked arm on a knob spindle. A hand-lever operable by the driver rocks a shaft connected by a crank to a rod 30 associated with clutch mechanism for rocking a vertical shaft 11, which is mounted in bearings 12 on the body of the car, and connected by a crank 13 and a link 14 to a lever 17 pivoted in a bracket 15 on the door. The free end of the lever 17 projects within the hollow door adjacent to a lever 21 connected bv a link 23 to the arm 25 of the bolt, and,. in the opening movement, rocks the lever 21 to withdraw the bolt. Lugs 19, 20 on the lever 17 limit its movement in either direction by contact with the outer wall of the door 2. The rod 30 is connected at 35 to an arm 33, which is loosely mounted on the shaft 11 and, in the opening movement, abuts against an arm 32 keyed to the shaft 11. For the closing movement, the arm 32 is coupled to the arm 33 by a catch 36, which is pivoted on the arm 33 and is brought into engagement with the arm 32 during the opening movement and automatically tripped at the end of the closing movement. The catch 36 is connected at the ends by springs 41 to a rocker arm 44, which is pivoted on the arm 33 and is actuated by means of a pin 47 on the body of the car and adjustable stops 48 on a central extension 43. The catch 36 is maintained in or out of engagement with the arm 32 by means of a keeper 49 pivoted on the arm 33 and located in a transverse opening in the catch, through which opening the arm 33 passes. In the initial movement of the arm 33, when the catch 36 has been rocked into engagement with the arm 32, the keeper 49 is swung by a leaf spring 52' so that an upper shoulder 51 on the keeper holds the catch 36 in engagement. At the end of the closing movement, the keeper 49 engages an adjustable stop 54, and the catch being thus freed from the shoulder 51 is then swung by the adjacent spring 41 until it is engaged by a lower shoulder 52 on the keeper, and so normally held out of engagement with the arm 32. While the door is open, full extension of the bolt 4 is prevented by a spring guard 56, Fig 6, which is tripped by cantact of a projection 58 on the guard against the body of the car.

Abstract: 671,272. Electric soldering-irons. McLELLAN & CO., PTY., Ltd., W. J. April 28, 1950, No. 10502/50. Class 39(iii) An electric soldering-iron comprises a handle 10, a casing 12 secured thereto, a bit 16 fixed to the casing 12, a plunger 17 capable of reciprocation within the casing 12 and having attached at the end nearer the bit 16 an element 26, e.g. of carbon, and a manually operable switch member, e.g. a ring .22, slidable on the handle 10 and operatively connected with the plunger 17, which may therefore be moved longitudinally to bring the element 26 in contact with the bit 16 and there generate heat. Sliding the ring 22 . downwardly forces a projection 20 of the plunger 17 downwards against a spring 25 surrounding the plunger. When the element 26 contacts the bit 16 the circuit is completed from lead 13 through a lug 30 on the plunger 17, through the element 26 and bit 16, the casing 12, a plug 11 with a connection 29, and back to the other lead 13. The plunger 17 is insulated from the casing 12 by spacers 18, 23 and a sleeve 24. The element 26 fits in a holder 27 which screws in the end 28 of the plunger 17. The spring 25 automatically retracts the element 26 upon releasing the ring 22.

[Class 55 (ii)] Gas enters a primary cleaning zone 20 of the scrubber 10 through a tangential inlet 16, and is given a rotary motion by which the larger particles are thrown out and are discharged through a drain 12, the gas passing to a secondary cleaning zone 21 in which it is forced at high velocity through openings 23 in a plate 22, and is projected against baffles 26, water, sprayed from rotating jets 56 below the plate, being carried through the openings as shown in Fig. 4. Curved vanes 70 through which the gas then passes give it a rotary movement by which liquid particles are flung out against the walls 10 and 14, the liquid being drained off through a pipe 77. The spraying device is mounted in a cover 42 and may be removed as a unit through the opening 44. The effective area of the perforated plate 22, and the velocity of the gases through the perforations are controlled by a plate 62 supported in channels 63 and adapted to close off and cover a selected number of orifices 23.
