Abstract: 5387. Weston, R. E. March 7. Calculating-apparatus for adding, especially suitable for marking in the game of 'bridge.' The total is shown by a hand or hands revolving on a dial or dials. Preferably two concentric hands, geared together in a similar manner to the hands of a clock, are mounted on a spindle a', one hand, b, to record units, and the other, c, to record hundreds. In the form of the invention shown, the unit hand band a subsidiary hand a are mounted on the spindle a<1>, as follows :-The hand b is fixed to a sleeve b<1>, Fig. 3, which also carries a ratchet-wheel b<2> adapted to engage with a retaining-pawl b<3> ; the hand a is fixed to the spindle a<1>, which also carries a toothed disc a<2> and a heart-shaped cam a<3>. A pivoted lever h, controlled by a spring h<2>, bears against the cam a<3>. A toothed disc b<4>, mounted on the sleeve b<1>, turns with the sleeve, but is also free to move along it. This disc is normally caused to engage with the toothed disc a<2>, by means of a pivoted lever f, controlled by a spiral spring f<2> on the spindle e<1> of a milled thumb-nut e. In operation, the milled nut e, when turned by hand, drives a pinion b<5> on the sleeve b<1>, through a pinion e<2> and spur-wheel d, so that the hands a, b are turned together through the same angle, while the lever h is turned against its spring h<2> by the cam a<3>. The band b is retained by the pawl b<3>, while, by depressing the nut e, the lever f is caused to lift the disc b<4> out of engagement with the disc a<2>, the hand a turning back to zero, by the action of the spring-controlled lever h on the cam a<3>. By this means, each time the subsidiary hand is moved from zero to some number on the dial, that number is added to the total shown. The hundreds hand c is fixed on a sleeve c', which also carries a star-wheel c', mounted on the sleeve b<1>. The starwheel is turned by pins d' on the wheel d. A retaining-pawl is adapted to engage with the wheel c'. An endless band k, Fig. 3, and a similar band, not shown in the Figure, are turned by thumbnuts k<1>, l<1>, Fig. 1, for marking the games and tricks. The hands may be replaced by dials partly visible through apertures in the face, and the subsidiary hand may be returned to zero by hand, instead of automatically, if desired.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatically Actuated Tools.
Inventor: TEMPLE ROBERT
Filed: 1904-08-30
Granted: 1905-01-05
Abstract: 18,729. Temple, R. Aug. 30. Riveting; hammers, power.-The piston of a pneumatic tool is reciprocated by means of a pump piston g, Fig. 1, connected to a driven crank shaft i. The upper side of the pump piston communicates through a flexible pipe h and a passage b with the opposite sides of a piston in a cylinder a, the piston-rod e carrying any desired tool such as a hammer, chisel, or riveting or cutting tool. A tail-rod w on the pump piston compresses air into the crank chamber r, which constitutes a reservoir, from which air is admitted to the tool cylinder through a non-return valve u to maintain the pressure in the system.' A valve c in the passage b is closed after both ends of the tool cylinder have been charged, so that the tool is raised by the compressing-stroke of the pump piston and returned during the idle stroke by the air compressed above the tool piston. In order that the tool may have a quick operative stroke, a quick idle stroke is given to the pump piston by means of a jointed connecting-rod j, k and a link m adjustably pivoted to a bracket p. The valve c, which comprises a sector and spring- mounted guide-blocks 17, Fig. 5, has a ball valve 19 seated in a passage connecting ports 21, 22 in the sector. When the valve is turned so that the port 21 communicates with the pipe h through the lower part of the passage b, air passes into the upper end of the tool cylinder whenever the pressure in it falls below that in the pipe. When the valve is turned so that the port 21 communicates with the upper end of the tool cylinder, the converse occurs. When the valve is turned to leave the passage b open, the tool piston ceases to reciprocate. The counterbalance 30 on the crank shaft dips into oil to lubricate the pump piston and to cause oil vapour to be carried over with the air from the reservoir.

Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 29,055. Ridderhof, C., and Johaston, G. M. June 18, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Lighting and extinguishing gas.-In flashing lights, a chamber x, containing liquid E and provided with a gas inlet b and gas outlet d, communicates through a pipe t with a reservoir g, and is provided with a float F, the stem of which carries discs k, k<1> for engaging springs l on a lever carrying a valve at the end of the outlet d. The pressure of the gas from the main first forces the liquid from the chamber x into the reservoir g, so that the float F, on falling, opens the outlet d to the gas burner, and the fall of pressure, owing to the escape of gas, causes the liquid to flow back into the chamber x and the float F to close the outlet d, thereby producing an intermittent light. The rate of action is determined by adjusting a valve v in the pipe t. A valve u, connected to a float F<1>, closes the pipe t if the liquid falls too low in the chamber x, and a stand-pipe f is fitted to the reservoir g for safety.
