Patent GB-190923886-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Indicating and Recording Scores and for similar purposes.
Inventor: KEIGHLEY CHARLES WILLIAM
IPC: A63D15/20
Filed: 1909-10-18
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 23,886. Keighley, C. W. Oct. 18. Scoring and marking apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for indicating and recording scores, applicable to billiardmarkers, and consists essentially in mounting a number of indicating- disks loosely upon a shaft, and adapting the shaft to effect both the setting of the disks and the return of the disks to zero position. A number of indicating- disks a are loosely mounted on a sleeve b, the disks shown in section representing the individual scores or increments, and the remaining disks representing the total. The apparatus may be constructed with additional groups of disks, but each group is actuated by parts similar to those described in connexion with the sectioned set. A shaft e, operated by a handle f, and capable of longitudinal movement, passes through all the disks; and the first disk of each group is adapted to be engaged by a clutch d fixed to the shaft. The movement of the units disk is transmitted to the tens, hundreds, &c. disks by means of pins r on the disks, star-wheels t on a shaft l, and gearing h, i. To enable each set of disks to be separately or simultaneously cleared to zero, a number of pins v are mounted in a sleeve w, and are brought into the path of pins 7 on the disks by moving the shaft e longitudinally. At the same time, a clutch 1 engages a disk 4 on the sleeve b, through a slot in which the pins 7 project, and thus, on rotation of the shaft e in a direction opposite to the scoring direction. the disks are moved back until at the zero position the disk 4 comes against a stop. Greater longitudinal movement of the shaft e is required to clear the total score disks to zero than to clear the increment disks, the additional movement being permitted by the removal by hand of a stop 29.

Title: Improvements in Means for Using Rangefinders for Locating the Position and Determining or Making Allowance for the Range and Altitude of Balloons, Aeroplanes, and the like, for Military and Naval Purposes.
Inventor: BARR ARCHIBALD
Filed: 1909-12-06
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 28,398. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. Dec. 6. Range-finders.-The range and altitude of balloons &c., and the allowances required to be made for the altitude in the setting of guns, are determined by a range-finder furnished with an indicator, comprising a scale and index members, so arranged that relative motion is derived (1) from the motion of the instrument in directing it upon the target, and (2) from the motion of the range-finding mechanism. The invention is described with reference to a shortbase range-finder, but is stated to be generally applicable. The range-finder tube A is fitted with a drum B mounted loosely upon it and held in fixed relation to the stand X by a catch C. A pointer D moves over the drum B and is actuated by the range-measuring head E: In operation, the balloon &c. is brought into the field of view by rotating the stand X about a vertical axis and the tube A about its horizontal axis. During this movement the parts E, F, G, H and the pointer D all share in the motion in altitude, the drum B being prevented by the catch C from moving with them. By operating the working head E until the range is determined, the pointer D will be moved across the scales on the drum B and indicate the correct setting of the gun. In an alternative arrangement the drum is mounted on the stand X and operated by a flexible shaft from the head E, the pointer D being operated by the rotation of the drum A. The drum B may be fitted with several sets of scales to allow for variations of muzzle - velocity &c., the different sets being brought into operation by permitting the catch C to engage in one or other of the recesses C<4>, C<1> &c.

Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 29,278. Reilly, A. H. Dec. 14. Clutches, arrangement of; change - speed gearing. - Variable - speed - gearing for motorcycles &c. is characterized by the arrangement of a multiple-disk clutch between the hub shell and the last or driven element of the gear, means being provided in conjunction with a clutch - supporting member for receiving the lateral thrusts. As shown in Fig. 1, the driven internal wheel e of a duplex epicyclic train is extended at n to carry disks o, which are arranged between disks p keyed to the hub, the clutch being rendered normally operative by springs t bearing against the flange of the internal wheel and against a thrust-ring s. For releasing the clutch, a part u supported by balls upon an axially-movable cone w has projections v to bear upon the thrust-ring, the part n being slotted to accommodate the projections v and also internal projections on the thrust-ring. To take the axial pressure when the clutch is released, a flange y is provided within the sleeve n to bear through balls upon a collar z on the axle. The sun-wheels are arranged to engage clutch teeth upon the carrier and upon fixed members l, m. For starting the engine of a motor-cycle, a pedaldriven chain-wheel 3 may be mounted in freewheel clutch connexion with the hub, or it may be mounted on the sleeve n. The clutch may be arranged in conjunction with the driven member of a gear employing no internal annuli, and such gear may comprise two sets of planet-pinions of different diameters secured together and mounted upon a carrier connected to the driving-pulley, a sun-wheel to control the gear by co-operation with clutches on the axle and carrier, and a second pinion upon the axle to carry the sleeve n for transmitting the motion to the hub. According to the Provisional Specification, the thrust pieces v on the collar u are arranged with the sleeve n and adapted to pass to the thrust-ring through apertures in the end collar and in the disks, the control rod within the axle being provided with a transverse portion which may abut directly, or through a ring and bearing-balls, upon the collar u.

Abstract: 18,091. Goddu, G. April 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Loose-nailing.-A machine for i n s e r t i n g fasteners, such as loose nails, in w h i c h a fastener is inserted each time the operating- treadle, controlling both the horn-mechanism and the fastener - inserting mechanism is depressed, is provided with a horn - locking- mechanism which, after the horn has been raised initially into workclamping position, permits only a small drop sufficient to allow the feed of the work to take place. This locking-mechanism comprises a spring-pressed pawl 116, Fig. 2, mounted for sliding and pivoting movements about a pin 126, and adapted to engage teeth 118 on the horn post 26. The pin 126 is normally held in engagement with the lower part of a slot 124, and remains in this position when the horn is raised into work-clamping position. After a nail has been inserted, and the operating-treadle released, the horn drops until the pin 126 engages the upper part of its slot. A finger-piece 132 enables the pawl to be released from the teeth 118 when it is required to lower the horn into a position for the removal of the work. Specification 8075/10 is referred to.

Abstract: 28,845. Tomlinson, H. W. Dec. 12. Magnetic speed indicators of the eddy-current type. The conducting-disk is revolved between fixed magnets, and the torque in the driven member is caused to indicate the speed directly by mechanical means. In one form, the disk B is loosely mounted on the revolving shaft A, and is connected thereto by a coiled spring D. The relative movement of the disk and the spindle is shown by a spiral surface Z carried by the disk, which produces a longitudinal movement of a pin Y' and a sleeve 2. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the disk B is secured to an internally toothed annulus E mounted on a carrier J loose on the spindle A, a pinion G, carried by a loosely-mounted arm H, connecting the annulus with a pinion F carried by the shaft A. The motion of the arm H is resisted by a spring D, one ,end of which is secured to the casing, and the other to a pin I carried by the arm H. The indicating-finger may be mounted on the pin I. Other arrangements of epicyclic gearing may be used, or the disk B may be driven from the shaft A bv cords taken over pulleys in a similar manner to a transmission dynamometer. The fixed magnets C are arranged above and below the plate B, as shown in Fig. 3.
