Abstract: 286,581. Altenbach, O. May 17, 1927, [Convention date]. Hand guards, shields, and the like. - In a pocket or like knife having a folding blade 11 and a spring 14 for holding the blade in closed or open position, wherein the spring projects at one end to form a tool 15 such as a screwdriver or wrench, a folding cover is provided for covering the tool when the latter is not in use. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cover comprises a series of telescopic U-shaped sections 16 - - 20, the largest section 16 being secured to the spring 14 by rivets 21 while the other sections are pivoted on a pin 22 so as to be capable of nesting inside the section 16. The smallest section 20 carries a snap 23 adapted to engage a notch 24 in the spring to hold the cover closed. The sections are provided with outwardly- and inwardlyextending interengaging edges 25, 26. As shown in Fig. 6, a semi-circular cover 37 hinged at 38. and carrying a snap 40 is provided. In another form, the cover comprises a pair of half shells adapted to snap together at their meeting edges and hinged at their back edges.

Title: Improvements in or relating to cosys and in particular tea-cosys
IPC: A47G19/20
Filed: 1929-10-30
Abstract: 342,658. Tea-cosies. PAGE, A., 35, Hogarth Road, Kensington, London. Oct. 30, 1929, No. 32983. [Class 128.] In cosies, and particularly teacosies wherein two relatively movable shelllike cover sections are separately pivoted to a base and adapted to close together by means operated by the weight of the pot, the cover sections are sc constructed and disposed that in the closed position the inner edges thereof are closely adjacent, and the operating means are formed by feet extending inwardly from the lower parts of the cover sections and adapted to be engaged directly by the base of the pot. The cover sections may be formed of ring members 1 having affixed thereto heat conservers 10 enclosed within casings 11, shaped to accommodate a teapot 9. A bail or loop is fixed to each ring member at its lower end and forms an operating foot 2 on the inner side, whereas free ends 3 on the other side are pivotally mounted on posts 4 in a base 5. The bottom 12 of the teapot is placed directly on the feet 2 and its weight depresses the feet causing the rings to pivot about the posts 4 and so close the sections about the pot. A handle and spout protrude through gaps 6 cut away in the rings. On lifting the pot the sections fall apart. Interengaging stops, a locking device, or springs may be used to prevent the rings opening more than is necessary.

Filed: 1933-11-30
Abstract: 433,037. Lasts for footwear. EHRLICH, E., 19, Roelof Hartplein, Amsterdam. Nov. 30, 1933, No. 33577. [Class 17 (i)] [See also Group VI] Orthopaedic footwear or footwear insertions comprises two or more fixed or movable inclined planes arranged on or beneath the treading base and which are opposed to each other in the longitudinal and transverse directions and which slope down to each other and to the treading base and are separated by a groove extending in the general direction of the heel to the ball of the foot. The said planes and other parts of the treading base may be shaped in a curved manner in accordance with the anatomical formation of the foot, and may be concealed by a layer of suitable material. The inner surface of the footwear may be formed during manufacture by the use of suitably shaped lasts, or by moulding the treading base in material such as rubber, resins, &c., or by building up the shape in leather, wood, cork compositions, rubber, felt, &c., or by the insertion of loose supports into ordinary footwear. Figs. 1-4 show a treading base for the right foot suitable for a lowered or dropped foot. The line i-m indicates the direction of compensation, and also partly forms the groove between the inclined planes b-f-i-c at the heel and d-e-k-n at the forefoot. At the point a the big toe joint rests in a depression below the surface of the sole. Extending from this depression, the groove n-c-d leads to another depression g. From line b-c, the plane b-f-i-c inclines upwardly from the base to line p-d, and then gradually inclines downwardly to the heel bearing f. The plane d-e-k-n, slopes down from the point h to the line d-e and the depression g at the rear and at the front slopes down to the bearing of the phalanges. Figs. 2-4 show cross-sections on the lines II-II, III-III, and IV-IV respectively of Fig. 1. The application of a similar treading base to a hollow foot is also described, the direction of compensation and the groove between the planes extending from the inner heel to the outer edge of the foot.

Abstract: 1287564 Lung ventilator VICKERS Ltd 15 Oct 1969 [15 July 1968] 33717/68 Heading AST [Also in Division G3] An automatic lung ventilator comprising an expiratory valve 70 for connection in the breathing gas supply line to the patient, a bistable fluidic switching element 4 connected to control the valve and hence the patient's expiration and a fluidic oscillator comprising bistable fluidic switching elements 1, 2 and 3 connected to element 4 for causing it to alternate between its two stable states so that valve 70 is open when element 4 is in one state, and closed for the other state. Element 4 comprises a fluid input 41, control jets 42, 46, 43, 47 and two outlets 44 and 45, an output through one outlet representing one stable state. Fluidic capacitors 29, 39 comprising cylinders with pistons are provided to control the frequencies of the oscillations. In an embodiment, larger bistables 5 and 6 are provided to amplify fluid flow to the patient or a "diaphragm activated pneumatic power booster" may be used. An element 7 is provided to open and close valve 70. Elements 8 and 9 provide feedback from the patient to elements 1 and 4 as shown. In use, the ventilator normally oscillates between an inspiratory phase with valve 70 closed and an expiratory phase with the valve open at fifteen c.p.s. The output of element 8 is normally biased, by capacitor 60, through outlet 85. If the patient improves during the expiratory phase, the pressure at jet 82 is reduced and the output of element 8 is taken through outlet 84, thus causing elements 1 and 4 to switch states and hence switch the ventilator to the inspiratory phase. Sensitivity is controlled by valve 89 and capacitor 88. The output of element 9 is normally through outlet 94 during the inspiratory phase. If excess lung pressure arises, determined by valve 90, the output switches to outlet 93 thus switching elements I and 4 and switching the ventilator to the expiratory phase. In an embodiment, a five element oscillator including two elements with only two control valves is disclosed (Fig. 2, not shown). In an embodiment (Fig. 3, not shown) an oscillator directly controls an on/off valve connected to a gas supply by a line having a "T" piece to deliver gas to the patient.
