Title: Improvements relating to Change Speed Gear.
Inventor: RENAULT LOUIS
IPC: F16H39/12
Filed: 1909-07-13
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 16,368. Renault, L. July 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Speed - varying mechanism. - Hydraulic change - speed mechanism of the kind comprising a driving and driven system connected to the d r i v i n g and driven shafts respectively, each system comprising a number of pump cylinders and pistons reciprocated in the latter by the action of swash-plate mechanism, is fitted with stationary pump members and revolving valve plates or distributors. Further, the action of the apparatus is automatically controlled by the pressure of the liquid on a piston connected to one of the inclined swashplate members. Fig. 1 shows one form of the apparatus. The driving- shaft 1 causes a cup 2 to rotate and thus cause the oscillation of the part 7 and pistons 12, which are arranged within the stationary cylinder-body 13. The distributing-plate 17 is secured to the shaft 1, and the receiving member is constructed on an identical principle, the two cylinder bodies and the valve plates being held tightly together by springs 16 to prevent leakage. Fig. 7 shows the automatic control device. The driving - shaft, which is connected to the inclined member 2 and free to rotate within the cylinder-body, carries a piston 25, at one end which is acted upon by the liquid under pressure in the mid - plate passages. The member 2 being also secured by a link to the collar 4<11>, any longitudinal movement of the driving-shaft due to the pressure of liquid on the piston 25 causes a variation of the inclination of the member 2 and a consequent variation in the speed of the driven shaft. The collar 29 on the shaft enables it to be moved by hand for reversed running. Filling-valves 22, shown in Fig. 5, and safety valves 23, Fig. 6, are located in the distributor 17. For braking, the cup 2 is arranged in the disengaged position, and, as the shaft which is normally driven rotates, the liquid is forced through the valves 23.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Apparatus for Controlling and Recording the Use of Billiard Tables in Public Places.
Inventor: LAVERY CHARLES
Filed: 1910-07-20
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 1525. Lavery, C. July 20. Time-checks.-Relates to apparatus for controlling and recording the use of billiard tables. The apparatus is constructed to indicate when a table is free or engaged, to ring a bell at the conclusion of a pre-arranged time limit, control the illumination of the table, and register the number of games played. Fig. 1 is a front view of the complete apparatus, and Fig. 2 a back view of the mechanism showing the parts in the position they occupy when the table is not in use. The balls, which are inserted through an opening f, Fig. 1, rest on a pivoted spring platform d, Fig. 2, which acts on an arm on a contact w, and breaks the circuit of an electric bell v. To operate the apparatus, a coin or alternatively a token obtained from the marker is inserted in a slot n, Fig. 1. A handle m can then be drawn forward, carrying with it the stop j, Fig. 2, and the balls thus being released escape through opening p, Fig. 1, into a trough q. The handle frame k is connected by a cord 2, Fig. 2, to a vertically sliding frame y, which is drawn down when the balls are released. This descent causes:-(1) The electric light circuit to be completed by contacts 20, 21, or, alternatively, the gas supply to be turned on by a pneumatic valve 23. (2) The slackening of a cord 36, thus allowing an electric contactpiece 38 frictionally connected to the main spindle of the clock-mechanism c to move therewith. (3) The engagement of a catch 4 with a slot 6 so as to retain the frame y in its lowered position. (4) The opening of a contact 14-15 in the bell circuit. (5) The actuation of the counting-mechanism 12 and hence its indicator t, Fig. 1. (6) The setting of the indicator s to " engaged." The time allowed for play is determined by the movement of an arm r, Fig. 1, which, through a rod 40, Fig. 2, actuates a contact 39, so that it is in position to coact with the corresponding stepped part of a contact 38 carried by the clock mechanism. A finger 42, Fig. 1, connected to the contact 38, indicates the time play has been going on, and means are provided to ensure that any attempt to push this finger backwards re-sets the apparatus. At the end of the time, the contacts 38, 39 complete an electric circuit which energizes an electro-magnet 27 and causes the withdrawal of the catch 4, thus allowing the re-setting of the apparatus. The contacts 20-22 are broken, or, alternatively, the valve 23 moved, and light is cut off from the table. At the same time, since the contacts w, x are not separated on account of the absence of the balls, the contacts 14-15 complete the bellcircuit, and the bell continues to ring until another token is inserted &c. or the balls are returned.
