Granted: 1913-03-06
Abstract: 10,388. Fletcher, W. J. May 2. [Cognate Applications, 13,191/12 and 17,204/12.] Bridles.-An eye-guard for ponies and other animals is made of strands or lengths K, Fig. 1, which are spaced apart and arranged transversely to the long axis of the eye. The space between the leather &c. material M, to which the upper ends of the strands are secured, and the piece E, which may or may not form part of a widened cheek-strap of the bridle, gradually narrows towards the rear, and the lower edge C of the material M does not reach lower than the level of the anterior corners of the eyes. The upper ends of the strands are so secured that a cushioning action occurs in the event of a blow. The strands may be formed as a frame instead of being secured individually. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the strands are secured over apertures in a bridle covering the animal's face. The strands may be of rope with a stiffener enclosed, electric cable, cane with or without a stiffener, celluloid, fibre, or leather, or they may be made of metal other than wire. In the Provisional Specifications, various other methods of and materials for forming the strands are described.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 808. Zeumer, H. March 4, 1912, [Convention date]. Moulding wheel tyres, balls, and hollow-ware; moulds.-Air-tubes for pnuematic tyres are moulded on a former B composed of layers of string. The former is produced by winding the string, previously passed through a vessel containing glue, water, size, lacquer, &c., on to a core a. After drying, the former is removed and bent into the form of a ring, the ends B', B<2> being cemented together with the inner end b<1> of the string extending therefrom, as shown. A coating of plaster is next applied to render the former smooth. The tyre G is then built up in layers &c. around the former and the whole placed in a mould and vulcanized. After vulcanization, the former is removed by pulling on the end b<1> of the string. Fig. 5 illustrates a modification for producing a tube with an internal web e ; in this case, two coils are employed. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the application of similar cores to the manufacture of other hollow bodies such as balls, dolls, &c. For balls, a core in the form of a ball is used, and for dolls, the core is built up of several parts. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Brake Mechanism suitable for Railway Vehicles.
Inventor: BOWLES GEORGE BARKER
IPC: B61H15/00
Filed: 1913-05-07
Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 10,794. Bowles, G. B. May 7. Compensating for wear. - Slack-adjusting mechanism for railway brakes is provided with means for rendering the mechanism ineffective when the operating-lever requires to be moved to a greater extent than that normally necessary to take up slack, owing to the existence of abnormal clearance between the brake blocks and wheels caused by heavy loading of the vehicle. The invention may be applied in connexion with the adjusting mechanism described in Specification 25,113/09. Fig. 1 shows adjusting-mechanism comprising an operating-member c carrying a pawl b engaging a rack-bar a, which is connected to the brakes and engaged also by an anchoring pawl d carried by a fixed member e. A sliding member f is connected by pin-and. slot arrangements i, k and j, mwith the parts c, e respectively, and is formed with a shoulder g engaging a projection h on the pawl d. The slot i is made of such length that the member f is not moved, and the pawl d operates in the usual manner for taking up slack, unless abnormal clearance exists between the blocks and wheels, in which case the part c must be moved farther to apply the brakes, and the member f is thereby operated to raise the pawl d out of action, the pawl being held raised by a friction washer n on the pin m until the rack a has been returned sufficiently for the pawl d to engage in the same tooth as before. The member e serves as a stop for the pawl d, and the part c keeps the pawl from being accidentally disengaged from the rack. In a modification, the projection h engages a slot in the member f which is pivoted directly to the part c, and the pawl d is retained, when raised out of action, by a gravity catch from which it is dislodged as the parts are returned, by a nose on the part c. In the form shown in Fig. 4, in which the rack a is of sector form and the operating-pawl b is carried by a lever r, the anchoring-pawl d is lifted, when abnormal movement of the lever is made, by a member s pivoted to the lever r and resting on a fixed pin t. The pawl is retained out of action by a gravity catch u, which is released on the return of the parts by a boss w on the member s.

Factory and like time-recorders, dial-type.- In apparatus employing a record-drum, two record-sheets are employed, one of which is wrapped around the drum as usual and the other, attached to it by one end only, can be made to encircle the drum when required so that the records can be printed on either sheet at will. The drum a, set by a handle m, is covered with the record-sheet c. A similar record-sheet d is attached at one end to the drum at b and at its other end to a spindle f, and is kept in tension by a weighted roller i. When it is desired to print on sheet d, the handle m is moved clockwise for setting, thus winding the sheet on the drum.
