Title: An Improvement in Mechanical Cricket Bowlers.
Inventor: BROOKS-KING REGINALD
Filed: 1908-12-22
Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 27,824. King, R. Brooks-. Dec. 22. Bowling-apparatus. - The throwing arm of a mechanical bowler consists of two sections. h, i connected by a pivot w. The lower section i turns on a pivot k under the action of a spring l. A cord o attached to a lever p passes through an eye at the end of the section h and is connected to the lever i by a spring s. The ball is held by a number of fingers A, Fig. 3, mounted on a revoluble sleeve E, the extent of the pressure on the ball being adjusted by means of a nut K. One of the fingers is provided with a flat spring L, to which is attached an india-rubber pad M, and, by turning this finger to one side or the other, a spin is imparted in one direction or the other as the case may be, as the ball is delivered from the fingers. The break finger may be turned down out of action. In operation, the compound arm is pulled back and on release flies forwards until checked by the cord o whereupon the upper section h is jerked forwards and discharges the ball. The pitch of the ball is varied by raising or lowering the lever p, and the direction of flight is adjusted by turning the frame, carrying the arm, about a pivot v.

Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 26,572. Hills, J. L. Nov. 16. Ash - pans.-Relates to locomotive ash-pans of the kind in which the bottom of the pan is formed of a sieve of horizontal transverse louvered plates which may be simultaneously turned towards a vertical position. As shown in Fig. 1, the ash-pan 5 is formed with an internal flange for attaching it to the fire-box and, to protect the axle from contact with the ashes, a fixed arched plate 9, surmounted by a curved baffle at its upper part, is connected to the ash-pan by an internalangle-iron. Each of the horizontal overlapping plates 12 is provided with a pair of trunnions 13, one of which is provided with a crank 15 connected to a rod 16. An extension 17 on one of these cranks is connected by an adjustable link 18 to a lever 19 secured at its fixed end to a shaft 20, Fig. 5, which is supported by a bracket 21 attached to the side of the ash-pan. At its outer end, this shaft is formed square in section and is protected by a guard 21<a> having an orifice through which is inserted the box-key 23. A pin 24 is formed on the box-key and is passed through a slot 25 in the bracket when the key is inserted, so that the shaft 20 must be brought to its original position before the key can be withdrawn. To limit the movement of the shaft, a washer 26, fitted over the square end of the shaft, is provided with a depending lug 27 which projects through a segmental slot in the bottom of the guard, and, to prevent accidental movement of the shaft in its normal position, a key 30 having a weighted handle and provided with a feather 31, is inserted through holes 28, 29 in the lug 27 and bracket 21. Air-supply dampers 10, 11 are provided at the front and rear and perforated water-pipes 34, connected to the overflow pipe of the injector, are arranged as shown for flushing out the ash-pan.

Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 27,013. Mannesmannr÷hren - Werke vorm. Deutsch Oesterreichische Mannesmannr÷hren-Werke. Nov. 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Torpedoes, locomotive.-Relates to torpedoes of the kind in which a device on the torpedo is adapted to become engaged with a torpedo net and the torpedo is adapted at the same time to detach itself from the device, to dive beneath the net, and then to be brought up against the ship by means of a rope connecting the device and the torpedo and normally disposed as a coil at the front of the torpedo. According to the invention, the head 1 of the torpedo is fitted with a detachable cap 2, which remains in the net 7 when the latter is struck, while the torpedo becomes detached from the cap, and the torpedo is caused to dive beneath the net by a forward shifting of its centre of gravity instead of by a spring as heretofore; a firing-stem 6 carried by the cap 2, bears against the usual firing-device b and is controlled by a spring a so that it will yield to a ship's hull, but not to a net; and the rope 11 connecting the cap 2 and the torpedo is coiled round a sleeve 9 within the cap 2. The forward shifting of the centre of gravity may be effected by the entrance of water into the nose of the torpedo through holes 12, Fig. 5, which are uncovered when the cap 2 becomes detached, or by the forward displacement of a weight or of water inside the torpedo. The cap 2 carries spring arms 3 which open out to catch the net when locking-pawls 5 are released by the meshes of the net.

Abstract: 5449. Dailey, J. W., and Dailey, A. B. March 4. [Cognate Application, 17,714/10.] Variable-speed toothed gearing; clutches, claw.-In gearing comprising a helically-toothed wheel B slidable into mesh with a like wheel D, the wheel B is connected to its shaft G by inclined keys &c. E, the reaction of which balances the lateral thrust due to the helical teeth. In the change speed and reversing gearing shown in Fig. 1, the shaft G is the driven shaft, and a second wheel A is slidable on the keys &c. E on a countershaft H, which is constantly driven through wheels K, J from a driving-shaft F. A direct drive is obtained by sliding the wheel B to the left until helical clutch teeth M upon it engage like teeth L secured to the shaft F. Two reduced speeds are effected by sliding the wheels B, A into mesh respectively with the wheel D and with a wheel C on the shaft G. For reversed driving, the wheel A is slid into mesh with an idler N, which drives a gear 0 fast on the shaft G. The slopes of the teeth of the wheels K, D, A are such that in all the countershaft drives, the lateral thrusts on the countershaft H balance one another. The complementary balancing-thrusts on the shafts F, G are absorbed by a pull bearing P or push bearing Q.
