Abstract: 24,569. Molineaux, W. Nov. 10. Bedsteads and cots.-Relates to the securing o f brass mounts, and the formation of the castings to which they are secured. A corner mount A, Fig. 5, of semicircular cross-section, has a straight part a' between beads a', a<3>, with smaller beaded parts a<4>, a<5>. The corner casting is made with bosses to fit into the beads a', a<3>, and two other bosses which protect the ends of the parts a' a<5>. The middle part of the casting has two vertical ribs b<5>, b<6>, Fig. 4, one on either side of the central pillar E, which is exposed between the ribs. The edges a<6>, a<7>, of the straight part of the mount are turned in to engage with the ribs, over which they are sprung. In a modification, the mount may be straight as shown in Fig. 11, with an ornamental beading i<5> or perforations. The ribs may have projecting parts which fill up the beading. The ribs on the casting may be lightened by grooving. That part of the casting which is not covered by the mount is made somewhat larger than the mount, thus forming shoulders which protect the edges of the mount. Rosettes and terminal ornaments are made in hemispherical form, and are provided with turned-in parts g<1>, g<2>, Fig 10, which fit into notches on the castings over which the mounts are sprung. The mounts rest on shoulders formed by the lower parts of the castings.

Patent GB-190322388-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Enabling Telephonic and Telegraphic Messages to be Transmitted Over the Same Line Wire.
Inventor: HOWORTH FRANKLIN WISE
Filed: 1903-10-16
Granted: 1904-04-28
Abstract: 22,388. Howorth, F. W., [Turchi, C., and BrunÚ, E.]. Oct. 16, Telephone systems; telegraphs. - Relates to methods of utilizing the same line wire simultaneously for telephony and telegraphy, and comprises improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 7585, A.D. 1903. The separator 2 at the central station. which cooperates with the differentially-wound coil 4 to prevent the reception by the operator's telephone 5 of currents within a certain range of frequency (the telegraph currents). differs from the separator described in the prior Specification in that an inductance coil s<1> is used in one branch only of the separator. An independent transformer 17 is used for the subscribers' apparatus, the secondary e, e being connected to earth and to the distributing board 18. At each subscriber's station there is a microphone 20 and transformer 19, and a separator 21. By means of a switch 11 the operator can cut out (short - circuit) the transformer 17 when calling another exchange further down the line wire, and cut out his own transformer when two subscribers are speaking through the line, shunt wires 16, 14 being provided for that purpose. Fig. 2 shows a modified arrangement in which the separator is earthed, and the primary and secondary coils a, a and b, bare connected at one end. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 the transformer is used for the microphone circuit 20 only. The line condenser 10 is used for enabling telephonic communication to be made notwithstanding the momentary breaking of the line circuit by the working of the telegraphic apparatus. When a number of telegraph wires run parallel to one another on the same line, the line condensers may be connected across two lines, thus making a metallic loop. If there are three telegraph wires, two may be looped and the other line-condensers earthed, thus giving two telephonic and three telegraphic circuits. Fig. 5 shows a system in which telephonic communication is maintained on the same line wire L between the stations 29, 30 and also between the stations 31, 32. One of the branches of the separator 2 or 21 may be insulated, connection with the transformer being made at one end only.

Granted: 1904-03-31
Abstract: 3697. Griffin, W. March 31, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Tops.-Relates to a top which is adapted to bounce while spinning. The body of the top is bored out to form a chamber 3, Figs. 2 and 4, and a hole 2 which may pass right through the body, as shown in Fig. 2. A conical plug 9 fits into the chamber 3. The stem 12 of the plug passes through a hole in an india-rubber cup 6, Fig. 2, which bears on the plug, and also through a sleeve 4, preferably of metal, provided with flanges 5 bearing against the sides of chamber 3. The head of the stem 12 is bent over at the top of the sleeve 4, thereby securing the plug. The cup 6 may be replaced by a spiral spring 8, Fig. 4, and in this case the hole 2 does not extend right through the body. The plug is retained in the sleeve by a pin 15, which abuts against the top of the sleeve. A preferably spiral groove 16, Fig. 6, allows the pin to pass when the plug is inserted, and the plug is then given a partial turn. When the top is thrown on the ground, it bounces under the action of the air in the chamber 3, which is compressed by the force of the blow, and the resiliency of the indiarubber cup 6 or the spring 8.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Focal Plane or other Roller Blind Shutters for Photographic Purposes
Inventor: ADAMS ARTHUR LEWIS
Filed: 1904-05-26
Granted: 1905-03-30
Abstract: 12,003. Adams, A. L. May 26. Shutters.-The aperture of a roller-blind shutter is varied by winding tapes attached to one portion of the blind A on a spindle f mounted so as to move, when the shutter is set off, with the spindle b on which the blind B is wound, but capable, when the aperture is being adjusted, of moving independently of the spindle b. The shutter is similar to that described in Specifications No. 9884, A.D. 1899, and No. 1332, A.D. 1902. The shutter is set by turning the disc j, which winds the tapes attached to the blind B on to the spindle c. The spring on the spindle a causes that spindle to take up the blind A on to the spindle a. The button g<1> being then pressed inwards, the spring h <x> locks the toothed wheel b<x> attached to the spindle b, the wheel g<x> engages the wheel f<x>, and the spindle f may be moved independently of the spindle b to wind on or off the tapes attached to the blind A. When the shutter is set off by releasing the disc j in the usual way, the spindles b, f move together, being held by friction or other means. An index may be attached to the spindle a to show the width of the aperture or the speed of the shutter, and the speed may be adjusted by altering the tension of the springs. An arrangement for connecting the spindles b, f, consisting of perforated disc and a pin similar to that described in Specification No. 1332, A.D. 1902, is also described.
