Abstract: 10,050. Armat, T. May 31. Magic - lantern apparatus.- In a kinematograph, the screen B is arranged at the bottom of the casing, and the sight holes at the top or side, the projecting-mechanism being carried on a table D yieldinglysupported near the top. The propelling - mechanism consists of two drums F, G, having pins i which register with holes in the strip X, which is arranged to form a loop between the drums. Near the drum F, below the lens a and above the projecting-lens, is a table d having a suitable aperture. The drum F is rotated by means of a star-wheel H, with which a pin wheel I engages. The wheel H has radial slots, and curved intermediate faces, adapted to the periphery u of the wheel I which is gripped above the pin g. The cylinder G and wheel I are driven through bevel gearing from a shaft h driven by a chain from the motor M. Spring guides k<1>, k<2> are provided to press the strip against the drums, and they are mounted so as to be easily turned aside. Bow springs and side guides are fitted in connection with the table d to prevent vibration of the strip while passing beneath the lamp. The shaft r is connected to the controlling- mechanism of the motor, which may be started by a coin. To prevent lateral bending of the strip, it is carried back in a channel V below the screen B. In a modified form the strip is carried back above the projecting-apparatus. For long strips a receptacle is formed in one side in which the strip folds automatically, the receptacle being con tracted towards the bottom. Supports s are arranged at intervals to take part of the weight of the strip.

Abstract: 11,683. Carson, J. M. June 27. Tills.-Separate adding-trains 7 for the different denominations, (provision being shown for pence and shillings), are operated independently by racks 0 which gear with first wheels 5 and slide on guide-rods 3 when handles 1 are pulled along graduated slots 2 in the front of the casing ; cords connected to the handle turn indicating- drums above. In moving, each rack displaces a corresponding pendulum bell crank e 16 on a pivot 18, and a rocker c having arms 17 touching the bell cranks is consequently made to disengage a latch b from the rear of the drawer. A link 26 connects this rocker to the driving- lever of a counter m. Each pivot 18 also carries a pawl g 19 to prevent a second movement of the rack before it has returned to zero, and a pawl h for preventing reversal of the wheels. These pawls can be put out of action at will by means of a rock-shaft k with arms 21 and an operating-handle 22, and the latch of the drawer can be independently disengaged by a lever 10, the operations of which are numbered by a counter n. A spring catch 8, still holding the drawer after the racks have been operated, is disengaged by a key 4, which simultaneously brings the hinged frame formed by the guide-rod 3 slightly forward, so as to disengage the racks from the wheels. A catch f, pivoted to the bell crank e, prevents further downward movement of the rack after the frame has been drawn forward. The right-hand registering and indicating unit is intended for sums of ¢, 1<1>, 2<1>, &c. in connection with which the pair of crossed pawls t, u is provided to prevent the adjacent unit from being simultaneously used.
