Abstract: 20,890. Fuller, H. J. Oct. 3. Cut-outs.-Electric cut-outs are constructed with a special fusing-chamber of large diameter and short length, open at one or both ends, the fuse being led into the chamber through restricted orifices. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the fuse chamber B, open at its lower end, is provided with a removable cover C, and is mounted on an insulating base A. The cover is fitted to the fuse chamber by means of a bayonet-joint, and may be provided with a small opening for inspection. In a modification, the fuse chamber and base are made in one piece. Fig. 5 shows the application of the invention to a bridge-carrier fuse, the chamber B being made in halves and open at both ends. In a modification, the chamber B is placed at one end of the handle K, the terminal blocks being placed one on each side of the handle. Fig. 7 shows a form of bridge-carrier fuse suitable for high tension circuits, the terminal blocks F being enclosed in porcelain cups M. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c.

Abstract: 26,646. Smith, R. T. Nov. 17. Pulleys.-In the manufacture of wheels of the type having a corrugated body portion between the hub and the rim, the corrugated piece is made from a strip of metal which is folded into a cylinder, Fig. 3, with corrugations to correspond with those required at the greatest periphery. The cylinder is then placed on a lower die, Fig. 4, and is pressed to a conical shape by an upper corrugated die, and, if it is required to flatten the cylinder further, another set of dies, Fig. 5, can be used. If the corrugations are to run into a flat periphery, the cylinder is not corrugated at the beginning. The wheel is finished by forming a hub of the requisite size and shrinking a rim or tyre on to the circumference.

Abstract: 27,305. Lake, F. G. Nov. 24. Rotary hinged leaves and the like.-A vertical rotatable spindle b, Fig. 4, is driven by ratchet gearing c, Fig. 3, at its lower end and is fitted with upper and lower disks d<1>, d<2>, bearing holders e for advertising cards, plates, &c. The holders tend to rotate about their pivots by the action of springs g. Stops periodically engage the holders and display them. The stops may be projecting strips on the base-plate a, engaging the plates or springs f<1> secured to the holders e. Or, where an inverted U-shaped frame supports the upper part of the spindle b, the frame may have projecting stops, Fig. 5, which engage the advertising plates, and then pass on through notches therein. The ratchet-wheel c, Fig. 3, is operated by a spring - controlled pawl j, driven by a plunger m and a solenoid l. The solenoid is in circuit with a make-and-break r, governed by a pump-piston p, which acts in one direction only. Thus, when the solenoid is energized, the ratchet j drives the ratchetwheel c, and the lever n then breaks the contact r. The piston p starts to return, and makes the contact r again.
