Abstract: 13,172. Feulpin, L. J. June 6. Bust improvers; corsets. - Appliances such as breast supports, corsets, &c. for rectifying anatomical deformities are made by preparing a plaster or like mould 2 of the breast or other part to be treated. filling the mould with a plastic material 4, such as wax, removing the model 4 from the mould, remodelling it to the correct shape without adding or taking away any material, and using this re-shaped model to make the correcting-appliances from fabric or semi-rigid material. In making the model 4 it is preferable to cover it in the mould with a hard material 5 so as to obtain a hard model of the parts adjacent to the breast. The mould may be made by enclosing the breast 9 in a fabric container 7, and pouring the liquid plaster of paris into the container so that the breast floats therein; when the mould has set it is removed and used as before for making the model 4. A photo-sculpture method of making the model is to float the breast in a transparent liquid in three or four glass pans arranged to enclose it, then to photograph the breast from different positions, and from these photographs to construct the model. The fabric correcting- appliance prepared from the model consists of an envelope for each breast formed of four pieces 26, 27, 28, 29 of fabric cut so that their points join at the nipples 30, and the pieces 26, 29 form shoulder straps, and extensions 31 of the pieces 26 form a belt. In making an appliance for use with evening dress a plate of celluloid, metal, &c. is shaped from the model so that its upper edge is on a level with the nipples, and these plates are supported by lacing &c. or by means of elastic ribbons, which are connected at their lower ends to a corset and at their upper ends to the plates.

Abstract: 15,059. Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon. June 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Operating-mechanism applicable generally.- An electro-magnetic device for turning a shaft in alternate directions, as, for example, in the operation of points or switches for electric tramways, comprises an electro-magnet or solenoid A having its core C pivoted to a cross-shaped pushbar B, the top of which is adapted to strike one or the other of two pins D, D1 mounted on a disk F on the shaft E. The disk F has a recess G, H coacting with a fixed stop-pin J, and the pins D, D1 are linked to pins L, L1 on the bar B by slotted bars K, K1. When the coil is excited the bar B forces the pin D upwards and turns the disk F into the position shown in Fig. 2, a projection M on the bar B sliding-along the edge of the rod K. If the current is interrupted, the core falls, either by gravity or by a spring, and the bar B turns round the pivot 0 until the projection M rests against the rod K1. When the excitation of the electro-magnet is renewed, the shaft E is turned in the opposite direction by the action of the bar B upon the pin D1. In a modification suitable for operating a point-switch for electric tramways, two disks each having crankpins are mounted on the shaft E. According to the Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), (1) the coupling-rods K, K1 may each be provided with one long slot in place of two, (2) the shaft may be retained in either position by a spring. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1914-12-24
Abstract: 29,679. James, C. E., and Robertson, T. R. Dec. 24. Spray carburettors.-A sliding piston valve controlling a series of air ports first brings a primary jet into action and upon further movement in the same direction brings more air ports and a secondary jet into action. The primary jet 6 and secondary jet 8 have independent air ports 7, 9 respectively. With the air valve 2 in the position shown, the jet 6 only is in action, but on moving the piston to the left, a reduced portion 4<a> of the valve spindle 4 serves to bring the jet 8 into communication with the mixing-chamber. This may be effected gradually by providing a flat 4<b> on the spindle. At the same time the air ports 10, 11 are brought into action. By moving the air valve to the extreme right, both jets are shut off, and air only is admitted to the engine through ports 12 and boles in the air valve 2. The control of the carburettor, which is particularly adapted for motor-vehicles, is effected by actuating the spindle 4 by band or foot. The valve 2 may be conical or may rotate instead of slide. The jets are supplied from a flat fuel tank in order to prevent a considerable variation of fuel-level.
