Abstract: 8781. Parry, W. G., and Hubenthal, C. April 29. Games played with balls and striking-appliances. -Fig. 1 is a front view, and Fig. 2 is a rear view. By means of a spring striker j, balls e are projected over a vertical screen k, and fall into one or other of a series of tubes b, some of which have rubber rings at the top, to make the balls bounce. If a ball falls into a particular tube b<2>, it disengages a latch m<1>, and so releases a slide n', by which a ticket or check is obtained from a tube p. A rocking shelf d closes the bottom ends of the tubes, but is turned by a handle e<2>, after prepayment, in order to let the balls drop to an incline h, which conducts them to the striker. A shutter g, operated by a handle g<4> and levers g<2>, g<1>, lets the balls pass to the striker one by one. The coin dropped down a shoot f disengages a detent f<2> from the rocking shelf d, and, when the shelf is tilted, it drops behind a curved stop d<1> thereon.

Granted: 1902-09-18
Abstract: 18,256. Colletas, M. J.-B. A. Feb. 12, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Primary and secondary batteries.-In an electric accumulator, the negative electrode consists of agglomerated retort carbon, preferably mixed with metallic arsenic, but the electrode may be made of any other conducting-material not attacked by sulphuric acid. The positive electrode, which is shown in horizontal section in Fig. 4, consists of a plate 3 of agglomerated retort carbon with flanged ends. In the plate is placed a layer 5 of a lead oxide or lead salts, or a mixture of oxides made into a paste by admixture with gelatine, white of eggs, dextrin, starch, or vegetable gums. A peroxidized lead wire 6 is wrapped around the electrode to keep the layer 5 in place. These electrodes are formed in an aqueous solution of copper sulphate acidulated with sulphuric acid, with the result that copper hydride is deposited on the negative electrode and the layer 5 of the positive electrode is transformed into lead dioxide. A primary battery of similar construction may consist of a plate covered with copper hydride, and another covered with lead dioxide, the two being immersed in sulphuric acid.

Granted: 1903-09-03
Abstract: 19,891. Gover, E. W., [Buck, E. C., and Thatcher, H. E. A.]. Sept. 11. Contacts, electric; signals on engines and trains; indicators and repeaters, point or switch and signal. -Relates to apparatus for electrically communicating the position of a point or switch lever to a driver, together with a device which indicates to the driver and signalman the condition of the electrical arrangements. Fig. 6 is a diagram of the circuit. The engine carries two spring current collectors, Fig. 4, consisting each of a metal wheel h supported in a bearing carried by a spring i. On approaching a station or signal box, these wheels h make contact with two metal contact paths e, Fig. 6, carried on wooden supports, which lie parallel with and between the rails. If then the signal lever n is in the position shown in the diagram in contact with the spring o, the circuit containing the electric generator s is closed through a bell indicator f on the engine, but otherwise, if the signal is in the dotted position shown, the circuit is not closed, and the bell does not sound. A high-resistance shunt r always closes the circuit, and the feeble current which thus traverses the indicator in either position of the lever n, indicates the circuit to be in working order, although it is not strong enough to actuate the bell alarm.

Granted: 1903-06-18
Abstract: 6353. Ludendorff, H. March 19. Lubricators.-A piston within a lubricating vessel, provided with a sight-glass, is depressed gradually by a train of wheels, actuated by the movement of the machine to which the lubricator is applied, or operated by a spring. Fig. 1 shows in plan where the clockwork is actuated by the inertis, of a weight 5, the lubricator being attached, for instance, to the head of a steamengine connecting-rod. The oscillation of the weight 5 rotates the ratchet-wheel 8 which by a train of wheels depresses the piston of the lubricator. The amplitude of the oscillation is determined by the position of the stepped guide 15. In a modification, a short cylindrical weight oscillates in a guide. As shown in Fig. 5, the rocking of a balance wheel 6, operated by a spring, moves the wheel 8. The travel of the pin 16 of the lever is regulated by the position of the stop 15. In another arrangement, the speed of the train of wheels is limited by a governor or fly.
