A displacement watercraft, having provision for the generation of an air-cushion, comprises a hull having a central keel member and a sponson extending therearound and a retractable skirt disposed around the outer periphery of the sponson. The craft comprises a hull 1 (Figs. 1 and 3, not shown), having a central keel member of substantial width compared to the beam of the craft extended outwardly around the keel to form a sponson 3, above which are disposed cabins 11, decking 12, and ducts 13 to supply air to lift fans 14. Around the periphery of the sponson is arranged a retractable skirt structure comprising an outer double-walled inflatable skirt 4 supplied with air, through a duct 9, from ducts 13 and connected at its lower edge to a convoluted inner single wall skirt 16 secured at its inner edge to sponson 3. The inner skirt is held in its convoluted form by flexible ties 2 and a cable 23 is attached to the lower ends of the skirts and is passed over drums 25 operated by motors, whereby the skirts may be allowed to extend when inflated, or to be retracted against the lower surface of the sponson. Peripheral air curtains may be formed by air issuing from nozzles 17 formed between the lower edges of skirts 4 and 16 and a stability jet may be discharged through a nozzle 27 in the lower surface of the keel, the nozzle being closable when the vehicle is operating as a displacement craft. An embodiment is described (Fig. 8, not shown), in which the inner skirt 16 is dispensed with and the cushion is formed within a plenum chamber. The skirt may be composed of a multiplicity of overlapping sheet steel or light alloy plates hinged to the outer periphery of the sponson in substantially fluid-tight relationship when extended.

Abstract: 1,176,931. Cutting. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO. Ltd. 6 Jan., 1967 [8 Oct., 1965], No. 42704/65. Heading B4B. [Also in Division B6] In Fig. 1 a machine suitable for use in ornamenting sheets of pliable material comprises base-plate 2, supporting a cutting pad 6. A block 10 heated by elements 18 is mounted for vertical sliding movement on guide rods 8. Secured to an underface of the heating blocks 10 is a matrix 14 having embedded therein blades 17 of a cutting member 16. The cutting member (Fig. 2, not shown) is divided by blades into first and second groups of segments, the blades surrounding the segments, the first group corresponding to the peripheral and central portions of the pattern to be applied to the surface of the sheet and the second group corresponding to an intermediate portion of the pattern. The first and second groups are hermetically sealed, one from the other, when in position on the material. Extending from the first group through the matrix 14 into communication with a cavity 28 in the block 10 is a plurality of bores 29. Extending through the block 10 from the cavity 28 to an outer face of the block is an air passage way 26. Secured to the block 10 and in communication with passageway 26 is an air line 27 which may be connected to a high pressure airline 32 or a vacuum line 34 according to the setting of a tap 31 of a manifold 30 connected to the line 27. The grain side of a leather upper is covered with paper masking tape P and the upper is placed on the cutting pad 6. The block 10 together with knife member 16 at 150‹ C. is lowered by piston 12 into engagement with the masking tape sufficiently to enable the knife member to cut the tape and to indent though not cut the leather. The knife member is maintained in contact with the leather upper for about three seconds to cause permanent deformation of the leather along the outlines of the pattern. The tap 31 is then moved to apply reduced pressure to air line 27 which is in communication with the first group of segments, thus stripping the masking tape from the peripheral and inner portions of the pattern. The knife member is then raised, the upper is removed and sprayed with a nitrocellulose colouring composition. The remainder of the masking tape is stripped from the upper.

Abstract: 1,111,859. Measuring optically. A. FORTIER and J. L. PEUPE. Oct. 15, 1965 [Oct. 29, 1964], No. 43889/65. Heading G1M. [Also in Division G2] Apparatus for gauging the position of a movable object, for example a liquid level in a transparent tube, comprises means for projecting light on to a reflective curved surface movable bodily with the object, whereby the reflected light will envelop a caustic and form interference fringes adjacent said caustic, and a magnifying optical viewer for observing a selected one of said fringes. As shown, the viewer 7 and a light-source 15 are fixed on a rigid frame 16 which is displaceable parallel to a tube 2 containing a liquid 1, the level of which is under observation. Reflection of light from the source 18 at the curved meniscus 5 of the liquid sets up interference fringes which are observed through the viewer. A reticle wire in the viewer is brought into coincidence with a selected fringe by moving the viewer parallel to the tube 2. A comparator 11 supported on a fixed structure 3 which also mounts the tube 2 is coupled to the viewer 7 and adjusted to zero. Any subsequent variation in the liquid is recorded on the comparator 11 by moving the viewer until the same fringe coincides with the reticle wire. When an opaque liquid is under investigation the light-source 18 is arranged above the meniscus 5. In a further embodiment the light-source may be fixedly aligned with the tube 2 so that light strikes the meniscus in the same way regardless of the liquid level. In applying the apparatus to the measuring of displacement of a solid object a light weight element having a curved reflective surface, e. g. a glass rod, is attached to the object if such a surface is not provided by the object itself.
