Abstract: 406,454. Transmitters. SIEMENS BROS. & CO., Ltd., Caxton House, Tothill Street, London, and FORCEVILLE, E. A., The Sheiling, Kingsway, Petts Wood, Kent. Jan. 4, 1933, No. 293. [Class 40 (iv).] A transmitter adapted for use on an operator's breast-plate comprises a two-part casing consisting of a moulded body part 1 and a moulded cover part 2. The body 1 has a foot 10 and is formed with a circumferential groove 11 cut away at 12 to form three inwardly facing lugs 19 unequally spaced and of unequal size. The cover 2 has a sound passage 24 and is formed with three lugs 21 of a size and spacing to conform with the cut-away parts 12 on body 1 so that the two parts can only be engaged and disengaged in one particular position. The body 1 is adapted to house a microphone inset 4, Fig. 4, which may be of the type described in Specification 308,630, [Class 40 (iv)], a metal pin 13 at the rear of the body and a leaf spring or springs attached to a step 14 in the body being connected by leads to terminals on the foot 10. A moulded member 3, Figs. 1 and 4, is secured in front of the inset 4 by lugs 42 on the backplate 49 of the inset, the lugs fitting into cutaways 22 in the cover 2 so that the inset 4 is fixed relatively thereto. In assembling the parts, the inset together with member 3 is fitted in the cover 2 which is then engaged with the body 1 after which a screw is threaded into hole 17 in the body so as to project into groove 11 and prevent the cover 2 being turned into the position in which it can be disengaged. The cover is however capable of a limited rotation and the backplate 49 of the inset is cutaway to expose a thin insulating plate so that on partial rotation of the cover the inset is also turned so that this insulating plate contacts with the leaf spring in the body 1 instead of the plate 49 and the transmitter circuit is broken accordingly. The inner end of the mouthpiece 5, Fig. 7, may be secured to the socket 28 of the cover 2 by a tube 7, which may carry a filter, and a spring 6 of the form shown. An alternative method of securing the mouthpiece to the cover is shown in Figs. 9 and 11 in which a metal cylinder 9 is fitted at its lower end into socket 28, Fig. 1, and at its upper end into orifice 52 in mouthpiece 5, the cylinder having grooved collar 91 adapted to be engaged by lugs 80 on a spring 8 fitted in orifice 52, a further lug 81 on this spring being adapted to engage a groove 29<a>, Fig. 1, in the socket 28. A resonance chamber, such as described in Specification 388,757, may be formed in the mouthpiece by providing a tapered cylinder 7<a>, Fig. 10, the lower end of which enters the orifice 92 in part 9. The cylinder is provided with a small hole 74 covered with fine gauze 77 and communicating between orifice 75 and the chamber formed between walls 76 of part 7<a> and 96 of part 9.

Abstract: 211,303. Hancock, J. E. Jan. 8, 1923. Fire-bars and grates.-In grates adapted to be dumped and shaken, a number of grate sections are provided having actuating means such that any of the sections may be shaken independently of the other sections, and the sections in one half of the furnace bed may be tilted for dumping independently of the sections in the other half. The sections are arranged in a main frame 10 divided bv longitudinal and transverse bars 11, 12. Beneath the grate at the front there are provided centrally of each section bearing-boxes 13 in each of which there is mounted a rock shaft 14 supporting the grate-bar frames 15. On each rock shaft is a rook arm 20 pivotally connected to one end of a link 21, the other end of which is connected to the lower end of an operating-lever 22. The operating-Lever projects upwardly through a slot in the floor, hinged dogs being positioned adjacent the slots so that they can be thrown down to lock the levers in place. Each grate-bar 16 has a downwardly-extending finger 17 which is connected to a link 18 so that forward and backward movement of any of the links will rock the grate-bars in that particular section. To each link 18 is connected a long link 25 which in turn is connected to the lower end of a pivotally-mounted shaker-lever 27. The links and levers are adjustably connected' so that the throw of the actuating-means can be varied as desired.

Abstract: 195,774. Thomson, H. Jan. 10, 1922. Actions, pneumatic. - The stationary plate, of the operating pneumatic is formed integrally with the valve-casing, apertured walls in which form the valve-seatings, and the valve-head is inserted through the port leading to the pneumatic or through a special lateral aperture provided with an air-tight cover. The top plate 14 of the operating pneumatic 13, which may be of the kind having two floating plates 15, 16, is constructed integrally, for instance by die-casting if of metal, with the valve-casing 18 and attachment-lug 19. Fig. 3 shows in sectional plan the integral valveseats 21, 25<1>. In assembling, the valve-head 28 is inserted through the passage. 26 in the bottom of the casing leading directly to the pneumatic, and a supporting cross-pin is inserted. Adhesive is placed on the inner side of the valve-head and a concave closing-disc 36, carrying a nipple 32 for the tracker-tube, a filtering-screen 41, and the diaphragm 30 and valve-stem 42, is then driven in and coated with shellac. The disc 36 also has a bleed hole 40 which communicates with the passage 34 connecting the chamber 23 with the vacuum-chest 12. The nipple 32 fits in a groove in the side of the valve-casing. In the modification shown in Fig. 11, a separate slot 43, afterwards covered with leather 41, is provided for the insertion or removal of the valve-head, thus avoiding the necessity of detaching the flexible material of the pneumatic for the latter purpose.

Abstract: 763,699. Filters. FRAM CORPORATION. Jan. 11, 1955 [Feb. 16. 1954]. No. 839/55. Class 46. A filter for petrol used in internal combustion engines, or for other volatile liquids, comprises a head 10, Fig. 2, having an inlet passage 12 and an outlet passage 13 and a central bore 14 extending up to the latter, a dirt-collecting bowl 11 and a filter unit, Fig. 3, removably secured in the bowl and including a bridge plate 21 clamped between the head and the bowl and having an inverted cup 27 supported thereby and a porous filter cup 30 permanently attached to the lower portion of the cup 27, the latter having one or more vapour vents 29 at its upper end. The plate 21 is part-circular, having two diametrically-opposite segments cut away to admit petrol from inlet 12 to bowl 11, but serves also to shield the (three) vents (see Fig. 3). The function of the vents is to permit vapour to pass from outside to inside the filter element and thus to prevent depression by accumulating vapour of the liquid level outside the element below the lower end of the filter cup 30 (which would cut off the flow). Furthermore the vents serve as by-passes for the liquid if the cup 30 becomes clogged. A gasket 26 on the filter element, Fig. 3, engages a shoulder 15, Fig. 2, on the outside of the bore 14 so that the cup 27 forms a liquid-tight partition between the inlet and outlet passages. Specification 711,131 is referred to.
