Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 19,143. Smith, A. E. Aug. 21. Table games; scoring- apparatus. - Relates to apparatus for playing games resembling billiards and bagatelle in which rings are used instead of balls. The bed A of the table is formed of wood, millboard, linoleum, or other suitable material, to which may be attached a layer of pegamoid paper, or woven fabric, and is thinly beeswaxed to produce a slippery surface. The bed is marked with rings in two colours and a baulk line is shown. The cushions C consist of tubes of celluloid or other hard springy material covered with thin pegamoid or the like. The cushion rails may be fixed permanently to the bed or may rest on the bed and be held in place by their weight. The pockets D are formed by the space between adjacent cushion rails, or they may be formed by tunnelling the cushion rails, the bed in the latter case being slightly recessed. A loop E of pliable material fixed, at its ends to the pocket rail F or to the cushion rail, acts as a catch for the rings and prevents them from rebounding or from falling off the table. A scoring-device, which is preferably inserted in the cushion-frame, consists of pointers H of celluloid or other springy material sliding in parallel grooves over a column of figures as shown. In order to supplement these figures some of the pointers are marked 0, or 00 if desired, so that units, tens, and hundreds can be scored with the one column of figures. The apparatus can be constructed on the underside of a loose table top, which is reversed when required for play. The apparatus may be of large size for use on the floor, or a suitable floor covering can be. marked out as shown, and the cushion frame placed on it. In using the apparatus on the floor, a long-handled hammer is used instead of a cue.

IPC: H01K3/02
Filed: 1913-02-06
Abstract: 3112. Kremenezky, J., [Firm of]. March 18, 1912,' [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Filaments.-Ductile wires are made from tungsten with the addition of not more than 2¢ per cent of inert refractory materials, such as the oxides of zirconium, calcium, aluminium, strontium beryllium, indium, magnesium, thorium, yttrium, cerium, and lanthanum. Wires made by squirting and sintering are ductile in the cold and may be hammered, rolled, and drawn; or rods made by pressing and sintering may be worked down and drawn. Mixtures of powders may be used for squirting, but preferably the oxides are added as powders, or as ordinary or colloidal solutions, to colloidal tungsten, in amounts between 0À5 and 1À5 per cent, and the materials are precipitated together. When tungsten powder is used, from 1À5 to 2À5 per cent of oxides are added, and may be mixed with the binding material. An addition of 0À01 per cent is sufficient perceptibly to affect the ductility. When rods or bars are made by compression, the materials may contain less liquid,. and dried colloidal tungsten may then be employed.

Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 4688. Kindler, R. Feb. 24, 1912, [Convention date]. Fluid governors, for controlling internal-combustion engines of the kind in which the fuel is injected by means of air under pressure, comprise a valve a for regulating the supply of injection air from the reservoir c, means such as a pump h driven proportionately to the speed of the engine to produce a flow of liquid in the pipe n, and means such as an adjustable valve i for throttling the flow of liquid, the variations in the liquid pressure being transmitted to the valve a in order to control its movement. The valve a is also under the influence of a spring e, which provides for the necessary injection pressure on starting the engine. The pressure of the injection air may also be made to depend on the fuel consumption by providing an additional throttling - valve o connected to the regulating-rod v of the fuelpump. In addition to the valves i, o, a slide valve r controlled by a spring t can be connected with the pipe n by means of a pipe s; when a predetermined pressure is exceeded in the pipe n, the valve r uncovers openings to a by-pass.

Abstract: 6946. Drzewiecki, S. April 6, 1912, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement and construction of; steering; adapted to travel also on land; shock of landing, deadening.- An aerial machine is provided with two or more supporting-surfaces arranged in tandem and made of such respective cross sections, dimensions, and incidences that, when an accidental change of incidence takes place through the tilting of the machine, the resultant centre of pressure moves along the line joining the respective centres of pressure in such a direction as to restore equilibrium, and to a greater extent than the line moves in the opposite direction. The surfaces are chosen so that the lift of the rear surface increases more quickly with the increase of incidence than does the lift of the front surface. The areas and incidence of the planes are arrangel so that the lift on each plane is the same at normal incidence. To avoid considerable movement of the centres of pressure, the planes may be made comparatively shallow. The planes may be fixed or the front plane may be adjustable about a transverse axis, adjustable stops being provided for regulating the minimum incidence of the planes during flight. The planes are arranged at as great a distance apart as possible. Planes a, b of unequal size and incidence are shown in Fig. 1 attached to a spindleshaped body c. The rear part g of the rear plane a is flexible for steering. The front plane b is pivoted at e and the shrouds d are secured to a collar f loosely mounted on the spar e so that the shrouds are not affected when the plane is adjusted. The front landing-apparatus comprises a skid 6 which comcs into action when the wheels 1 are raised, against the action of a dash-pot 5 connected to the links 4. At the rear a double skid 7 is fitted and the wheels are normally raised, being lowered when the machine starts from land.
