Patent GB-190802894-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Game Apparatus
Inventor: DARBY WILLIAM SINKLER
Filed: 1908-02-10
Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 2894. Darby, W. S. Feb. 10. Games imitating croquet and bagatelle.-The apparatus comprises a flat board with a series of pockets 6, 7, 8. Each pocket is divided by a bridge 9 over which a ball is to be driven, sufficient space being left on each side to permit the ball to drop into the pocket. Behind the side pockets 8 and at right-angles to the bridges are fixed a pair of rubber buffers 10, adapted to return the ball, if properly struck, to a position substantially in front of the central pocket 7. Extending along the sides of the board are barriers 11, consisting of wires or rubber cushions and having two opposite corners occupied by triangular rubber buffers 12, constituting goal posts for the game. The remaining corners 15 are open to allow an opponent's ball to be driven out of bounds into a runway 14. The object of the game is to drive a ball from the starting point 3 by means of a cue 21 or mallet 20, over the bridges to the top buffer 12 and back again, in a manner similar to the game of croquet.

Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 26,971. Ramsden, W. T. Dec. 12. Feed-water, supplying.-Water of condensation is returned directly to a boiler by gravity, but means are provided by which, if there is more water than can be so returned, a steam-loop, such as those described in Specifications No. 18,435, A.D. 1888, and No. 8853, A.D. 1892, is automatically brought into action. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, steam from a boiler A passes through a coil D in a water tank C and returns with the water of condensation to the boiler by the pipes H, K, G. If, however, there is more water of condensation than can return in this way it accumulates in the box I and raises a float therein, thus admitting the steam and water to the loop F by the valve J, which is connected to the float. The water returned to the boiler by the loop also carries with it the water from the box I.

Abstract: 9257. Seyboth, F. W., and Freytag, E. E. April 19. Mechanical stoking.-In stokers of the shovel type, the throw of the shovel is gradually varied, so that the fuel is distributed evenly over the length of the grate. The shovel 14 is mounted on a shaft 2, and is turned, preparatory to a throw of fuel, against the tension of springs 15 by a cam 10, which bears against an arm 16 fixed to the shovel shaft. When the arm is released by the cam, the shovel is quickly returned to position by the springs, and the fuel is thrown over the grate. The cam 10 is fixed to a spur-wheel 9 on a shaft 11, which is carried in arms 12 pivoted on the shovel shaft 2. The arms 12 are oscillated slowly by an eccentric 13 to shift the centre of rotation of the cam 10, and hence to effect a gradual change in the throw of the shovel. The cam 10 is driven through spur gearing 4, 5, 8, 9 ; and the breaking- rolls, on the shaft 3 of which the eccentric 13 is mounted, are operated at a much reduced speed from the shaft 7 by an eccentric 17 and ratchet gearing 18, 19. An adjustable mask is provided so that the angle through which the ratchet-wheel is turned at each stroke of the eccentric can be varied.
