Patent GB-190527026-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Corrugated Bars.
Inventor: JOHNSON ALBERT LINCOLN
Filed: 1905-12-27
Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 27,026. Johnson, A. L. Dec. 27. Concrete buildings with metal skeletons.-Bars for reinforced concrete constructions are corrugated at such an angle, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, that the area of the cross-section is uniform everywhere, and the projections or depressions formed are so disposed relatively to each other as to neutralize the displacing forces. The preferred form of bar has four faces, each having a row of parallel projections 1 inclined to the axis of the bar at such an angle that the centres of opposite ends of adjacent projections are exactly opposite. Thus the area of the cross-section, Fig. 5, on any line 5-5 is equal to the sectional area, Fig. 6, on any other line 6-6. To prevent the inclination of the projections from giving rise to forces tending to move the bar laterally, to turn it on its axis, or to split the concrete, the projections of one face of the bar are inclined at an equal angle but in an opposite direction to those on the next adjacent face. A fillet 3 is left, at the ends of the depressions 2 and along the two diagonally opposite edges where the rolls meet, to prevent the concrete from being split. The other two edges are preferably truncated on account of the difficulty of keeping the rolls clean. In flattened bars, such as are shown in Fig. 7, or in elliptic bars, the fillet 3 is of importance.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Metronomes.
Inventor: COULLERY HENRI
Filed: 1908-02-14
Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 3386. Coullery, H. Feb. 14. Regulators; escapements.-In connexion with a pocket metronome which has the form of a watch, means are pro. vided for regulating the period of the escapement mechanism. In Figs. 1 and 2, which represent the two sides of the instrument with the dial and pointers removed, the spring driving-barrel 1 is wound up by the crown 49, through wheels 9, 8, 7 5 and a pawl 6. The barrel 1 drives the escapement wheel 4 through wheels 2, 3. The escapement wheel has the indicating-pointer on its axis and is regulated by a rocking cylinder 12, which is connected through a toothed sector 14 with the balance wheel 13. The regulation is obtained by displacing the end 11 of the spring 10 which is fixed to the bar 16. To move the bar 16, the bolt 21 is moved to depress the lever 24 so that its face 26 raises the lever 28 and brings the pinion 7 out of gear with the wheel 5 and in gear with the bar 16. A rotation of the crown 49 now moves the bar 16 to an extent indicated by a pointer which is attached to the wheel 31 and moves over a graduated scale on the dial of the instrument. The escapement action may also be made audible by further depressing the bolt 19 until the nose 37 rests on the projection 36 of the lever 34, when the extremity 38 acts on the conical washer 39 and moves the spindle of the escapement wheel 44 a short distance longitudinally. The wheel 44 has a stepped edge, and this movement gives the escapement a maximum of fall and makes the beats audible.

Title: Automatic Suspension Lock
Inventor: SCHAEFER OSCAR
Filed: 1908-05-02
Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 9510. Schaefer, O. May 2. Couplings of the plug-andsocket type 0, N, Figs. 3 and 4, are used in connexion with an automatic suspension lock of the type described in Specification No.260,A.D.1906, [Abridgment Class Lifting &c.]. The lock comprises a tubular carrier A with longitudinal slots B and chambers F for supporting-balls C, locking. balls D, and unlocking - balls G. The load end carries a stem-piece H, upon which a part P, carrying the contact-plugs N and a fixed ring J, can freely move. To unlock, the load is hoisted as Jar as possible, so that shoulders K press up the rirg J and move the I alls C, D, the friction gjip of the plugs N serving to support the part J in its uppermost position. If the rope is then lowered, the stem H can pass the balls D, and by pressing on the ring J can pass the balls C. When the weight is raised, the enlargement of the stem H pushes the balls upwards until they assume the positions shown in dotted lines ; the weight of the balls G then causes the balls D to move into the position where they limit the upward movement of the sleeve H and thus prevent the disengaging- ring J from coming into action. The balls C have meanwhile rolled back into the positions shown and have locked the device.
