Title: An Improved Table Game and Appliances for same.
Inventor: HASSELBACH EDWARD
Filed: 1903-06-22
Granted: 1903-11-26
Abstract: 13,887. Hasselbach, E. June 22. Games played with tables, cues, balls, hoops, bridges, and roulette apparatus.-Relates to a game to be played by any number of persons not exceeding eight, upon a billiard table, or other table provided with a cushion frame. Each player draws a ball from a bag, and keeps the colour drawn throughout the game. The appliances for the game comprise, amongst other things, a roulette apparatus A consisting of a fixed disc a provided with eight cups a<1> and a rotating boss a<4> mounted on a pivot a<3>. The surface of the boss is divided into eight parts by radial spokes a<5> furnished at the ends with rubber buffers a<6>, coloured to correspond with the balls, and numbered as shown. The roulette is spun, and the player whose colour stops opposite the figure 1 plays first, the others following in the order of their colours on the roulette. The object of the player is to drive his ball through an arch D' and over a bridge F, without knocking down pillars which are placed In contact with them. He then drives the ball through the arch D<4> on to the space on the roulette C which corresponds to his colour. The roulette C is similar to A, but has an annular groove instead of cups, and is unnumbered. From C the player drives his ball through the arch D<5>, over the bridge F, and through the arch D<8>, and finally plays it into the cup on the roulette A opposite his colour. Should a player fail to pass over either of the bridges F at the first attempt, he must bring his ball back behind the baulk line H or H<2>, and proceed through arches D', D<3> or D<6>, D<7>. A ball is not allowed to cross the baulk line H<1>.
Patent GB-190316904-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Power Hammers.
Inventor: GRAHAM WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-08-01
Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 16,904. Graham, W. Aug. 1. Hammers, power.-A pneumatic hammer has a pump cylinder a and a vacuum cylinder k, the pistons of which are mounted on a common rod actuated by a crank shaft 18. The pump cylinder communicates with the tup cylinder b by two passages c, d, the former of which has a non- return valve e, while the latter can be closed by rotating a liner f in the pump piston by hand. The piston o of the vacuum cylinder has non. return valves opening to the atmosphere, and the cylinder has two sets of ports, one set v of which communicate with the atmosphere and the other with a passage y leading to the tup cylinder. The two sets of ports are separated by a disc n with non-retnrn valves, and the cylinder is rotated by a treadle to close one set and open the other. When the set of ports v is closed the tup is held up by the action of the piston o, but when open and the passage y closed, the maximum blow is delivered. An intermediate position of the vacuum cylinder allows both sets of ports to be partially open to deliver lighter blows. A "snap" blow may be given by opening an atmospheric port (not shown) near the upper end of the pump cylinder. Another atmospheric port is provided near the lower end of the cylinder to replace any leakage. A flap valve at 20 allows air to be discharged during each compression stroke, fresh air entering through the lower atmospheric port and assisting to cool the cylinder. The tup may be held down by rotating the liner f to close the passage d so that air is pumped in through the non-return valve e. The pump and tup cylinders may be connected by a single valveless passage, and the pump and vacuum cylinders may be arranged side by side. The Provisional Specification refers to an arrangement in which a doubleacting pump cylinder is used.

Granted: 1904-05-05
Abstract: 4565. Entwisle & Kenyon, Kenyon, R. W., Kenyon, W. H., and Shorrock, J. L. Feb. 24. Mangling and wringing machines.-The objects are (1) to construct a step or bearing C, Figs. 1 and 3, for the journal or shaft b<1> of the bottom roller B so that, when after removal it is being replaced in the bearing, it will be automatically guided into place and the washer b at the end of the roller be prevented from riding upon the top or edge of the step or bearing, and (2) to provide a support for the drip board D which will allow of it hanging in a vertical position when not in use and so facilitate packing for transit. For the first object, the bearing C, Figs. 1 and 14, is provided with two bevelled horns or arms c projecting upwards from the upper edge of the bearing so as to avoid any horizontal surface or ledge at the top of the bearing. The horns are preferably placed close to the front edge of the bearing C, but may be situated at a distance from the edge, in which case the washer is bevelled, or both the washer and the front edge of the bearing are bevelled. For the second object, the drip board D has an arm d<1> on which is a pin d' engaged in a slot a<1> in the frame A or in a bracket attached thereto. On the board D is a bracket d which can be engaged with a pin a projecting from the frame A and can be disengaged from it by drawing the drip board forward. In the vertical position of the board D, the bracket d<12> fits over the tie-rod E. In a modification, a slotted bracket on the board D is caused to engage with the rod E ; the bracket may be made in one with the bracket d. The bracket d may be pivoted to the board or to the frame and be moved by hand to make engagement with a pin on the frame or on the board.
