Abstract: 425,144. Coin-freed game apparatus. GENSBURG, L. W., 2621, North Ashland Avenue, Chicago, U.S.A. April 3, 1934, No. 10067. Convention date, April 3, 1933. [Class 132 (ii)] [See also Group XVIII] In apparatus for playing a game wherein balls 18 are projected by a plunger 16 on to an inclined surface 11 provided with pins 17 and scoring holes 13, inclined runways 19 are disposed below the surface 11, each communicating with a group of holes 13 and leading the balls to a rotatable counter 21 having digits thereon visible through sight openings 25, each counter being rotated a step by a ball deflected on to one of the vanes 26 carried by the counter. From the counters 21 the balls pass to a shoot 33 and a magazine 34 communicating with a groove 35 in the wall of the cabinet 10, the balls being elevated through this groove to an aperture in front of the plunger 16 by means of a pivoted member 37 operated by a plunger 40. A coin-control slide bar 41 is used to reset the counters 21 by moving a rock-shaft 42 to release a spring- urged bar 45, which then rotates a series of dogs 31 out of engagement with projections 26 on the counters, the latter being thereupon reset by springs 30. To prevent unauthorized withdrawal of balls from the magazine 34 to the elevator 37, inward movement of the coin slide bar 41 is caused by its movement of the rock-shaft 42 to move a lever 55 to close the outlet 59 of the magazine 34, and further movement of the shaft 42 causes an arm 61 thereon to move a bar 49 to release balls 18 to allow them to drop down the magazine, but not until the bar 41 is fully released can a spring 48 act through the rock-shaft 42 and its arm 63 to move the lever 55 to unseal the magazine. Balls falling through the " free play " opening 14 pass through shoot 64 to a point below the stop arm 50 of the bar 49 so that they may be continuously played.

Title: Regenerating system for start-stop telegraphic signals
IPC: H04L25/04
Filed: 1945-04-23
Abstract: 634,292. Type-printing telegraphy. PELLE, P. April 23, 1945, No. 10142. Convention date, Feb. 10, 1944. [Class 40 (iii)] In a regenerator for stop-start telegraph signals of two polarities, a valve oscillator starts to oscillate on the receipt of a start signal and causes short D.C. impulses to be fed to the line relay at the theoretical centre of each received signal impulse, the received signal being used to determine the polarity re-transmitted. An incoming start signal of negative polarity on line L1 energizes coil 1 of the polarized differential relay RE and moves its armature i1, i2 to contacts t1, t2. At t1, the oscillator O is caused to oscillate with a period equal to a unitary signal element, and the train of oscillations produced is passed to a triodepentode flip-flop circuit I via a phase-changing capacity-resistance net 5, 6 and 7. The pentode produces a square-wave pulse at the peak of each oscillation received, i.e. at the theoretical centre of each received signal impulse. These pulses are fed to the line-relay R via a staticrelay network 11, 12, 13, 14, the biassing of the static-relays by the received signal determining the direction in which the transmitting armature i3 moves. The pentode output pulses are also fed to an impulse counter CI where they charge condenser 3 until atthe seventh (or stop) pulse the grid potential causes the tube to discharge via coil 2 of the differential relay RE, thereby returning the armatures to their rest contacts r1, r2 and locking the oscillator O, ready for the next character.

Title: Improvements in or relating to ion sources comprising extraction probes
IPC: H01J27/16
Filed: 1954-04-07
Abstract: 754,857. Discharge apparatus. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN. April 7, 1954 [April 10, 1953], No. 10229/54. Class 39 (1). In an ion source in which ions are extracted from the plasma 1 of a gaseous discharge through a hollow probe electrode 2, electrons are produced within the probe and retained by an electric field of suitable shape in order to neutralize the space charge of the ion beam 3. The electrons may be secondary electrons produced by the impact of ions on the inner wall of the probe or they may be produced thermionically or photo-electrically. The electrons may be prevented from leaving the probe by making the end of the.probe duct adjacent the plasma wider than the middle part or by providing an annular electrode 10 which has a negative potential relative to the probe. The probe 2 has a narrow part 8 in the region where the ion beam is of minimum diameter, to avoid unnecessary loss of gas. The narrow part 8 may widen gradually in conformity with the divergence of the ion beam. In another embodiment a sleeve within the probe restricts the flow of gas. A quartz cylinder 7 protects the end of the probe 2 from bombardment by ions. The gaseous discharge is preferably a high frequency discharge.
