Title: Improvements in and connected with Billiard Tables.
Inventor: MONTEATH GEORGE
Filed: 1904-06-28
Granted: 1905-06-15
Abstract: 14,518. Monteath, G., and Ormiston, J. June 28. Billiards; timechecks for games.- Billiard tables are provided with rubber - covered steel rods A, Fig. 2, which normally project in front of the cushions and prevent the table from being used except for such time as the owner may arrange, a check being thereby kept on the attendant. When the table is to be used, the rods A are each withdrawn -into a screwed tube, against the action of a spring B, by means of wires C attached to a rod J, Fig. 6, which is moved by links H actuated by a nut b on a screw E, Figs. 5 and 6. The screw E is rotated when the winding-spindle D of a clock F is wound up, and, to effect this, the spindle is released from the action of a counterweighted lever R, which engages a ratchet T on the spindle, by inserting a check in the warded slot leading to a tube N<1>, Fig. 10. The rod J is held by a spring catch K, until the catch is released by a lever M actuated by the links H, which are moved owing to the actuation of the screw E by the clock F. The time which elapses before the rod J is released is controlled by a regulator. Just before the rod J is released, the nut G actuates a trip U, and rings a bell to warn the players, and the nut G also opens a door at the bottom of the tube N', to discharge the check from its box, by acting on a lever P<1> connected by links to the door. The table may be left free for play for any length of time, by inserting a pin in the clockwork. According to the Provisional Specification, the mechanism for pulling the wires to allow the table to be used comprises a lever with a quadrant ratchet which winds up the clock mechanism when the lever is moved to withdraw the bars. The lever is automatically released at the end of a certain time by a pin on the clock barrel. The lever is provided with a pneumatic spring to prevent shock when the lever is released.

Title: Improvements relating to the Regulation or Control of Dynamo Electric Machines and Electric Motors.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER CHARLES PROSPER EUGE
Filed: 1904-09-26
Granted: 1904-11-24
Abstract: 20,689. Schneider, C. P. E. Sept. 26. Dynamos, regulating ; motors, controlling; sparking, preventing.- In order to regulate either the voltage of a dynamo or the speed of a continuouscurrent motor, the im. pressed magnetic flux across the armature is varied by simnltaneously modifying the width of the air gap between the field magnets and the armature and magnetically short-circuiting consecutive pairs of poles to a greater or less extent. In the application of the invention to an eight-pole dynamo, Figs. 5 and 6, a number of movable polepieces b, arranged side by side in pairs and separated by a narrow stratum of air from the magnet poles M, are connected up by tour bronze hoops c into two independent rings which are capable of being rotated in opposite directions by means of two toothed segments d, r, one toothed externally and the other internally and both driven simultaneously through pinions e, s by the shaft f and hand-wheel g. The rings are guided by providing two diametrically-opposite pole-pieces b with screws h which extend into grooves i in the pole-faces, and, for the purpose of ensuring sparkless commutation, the pieces b are formed with rectangular orifices j, Fig. 12. A thin antifriction strip of non-magnetic metal may be cast on the outer face of each pole-piece to reduce the friction between the latter and the magnet poles. In dynamos with circular poles, the two rings of polepieces are separated by a circular strip of metal of T-section secured by screws at the middle of each pole face. Instead of connecting the pole-pieces b by continuous rings, they may be joined at their opposite extremities by a series of short segments or the latter may be cast in one piece with the polepieces.
