Title: Improvements in Coin Freed Game Apparatus.
Inventor: WALTHER RUDOLF
IPC: G07F17/34
Filed: 1913-12-29
Granted: 1914-05-07
Abstract: 29,916. Walther, R. Jan. 30, [Convention date]. Game apparatus, prize-delivery mechanism for.-In game apparatus mechanism is provided for delivering a token, exchangeable for a cigar, at every (say) fifth operation of the apparatus, a coin being inserted for each operation unless the operator as a result of skill in the game is permitted the repeated use of the coin. A hand-actuated lever 1, which serves to operate the token-delivery mechanism, is normally locked against movement by the engagement of a pivoted detent 2 with a fixed stop 3. The detent is adapted to be freed by an arm 16 depending from a lever 14, when this lever is depressed by a pin 13 on a disk 7 after the predetermined number of operations of the apparatus. The disk 7 is mounted on a spring- driven spindle 8, the rotation of which is controlled by a ratchet-wheel 9 and an escapement lever 11. Each time the apparatus is used, the inserted coin 14 rocks the escapement lever 11, permitting the disk 7 and ratchet-wheel 9 to rotate through the space of one tooth. 'The operation of the lever 1 to effect the delivery of a token serves to set back the disk 7 to the zero position through a rack 23 and a pin wheel 21, the rack being operated by an arm 25 and connected by a link 24 to the lever 1. The disk 7 is graduated so as to show at any time the number of times the apparatus has been operated since the delivery of the last token. When the lever 14 is depressed, a disk 18 serves to indicate to the operator that a token can be obtained. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an arrangement in which the detent 2 is adapted to be freed to permit the delivery of a token by the successful operation of the apparatus, or by the pin 13 on the disk 7 if the four preceding operations of the apparatus have been unsuccessful. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Coin action, weight.-The inserted coin 14 strikes and depresses an arm 13 connected by a link 12 to the escapement lever 11.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Turret Lathes.
Inventor: POTTER JAMES CHARLES
IPC: B23B3/18
Filed: 1913-05-05
Granted: 1914-07-06
Abstract: 13,616. Potter, J. C. March 15, 1913, [Convention date]. Turning.-Relates to turret lathes of the type described in Specification 10,567/13, and consists in means for driving the dog-wheel step by step in one direction. The shaft 82 is oscillated by means of a gear connexion to the turret-slide actuating drum, and carries an arm S5 within the dog-wheel. In the position shown, a bolt 86 is spring-urged into a recess 87, causing a pin 94 to force back a locking-bolt 93. The dog-wheel is then carried forward by the rotation of the arm through an arc such that, at the moment of reversal of the arm, the bolt 93 snaps into the next recess. A pin 92, acting on a lever 91 geared to the bolt 86, has at this time retracted the bolt sufficiently for it to cam back by means of its inclined end. Since the dog-wheel comes to rest when the fixed dogs 72 act on the clutch levers 68, as described in the above-mentioned Specification, because such action is at the time when the reversal of the turret and cross-slides occurs, the dogs are radially movable and are maintained inoperative by springs, except at the close of the feeding movement, when they are cammed outwardly by arms 95.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Grinding Glass and the like Materials.
Inventor: TAYLOR WILLIAM
IPC: B24B13/04
Filed: 1915-11-01
Abstract: 15,375. Taylor, W. Nov. 1. Disk apparatus.-Surfaces are formed upon glass and like material by a sharp-edged abrasive wheel or annulus so set and traversed relatively to the surface to be formed that the edge of the wheel forms an abrupt step between the surface formed and the original surface and grinds the step back. wards largely by a process of splintering. As shown in Fig. 1, the glass b and the grinding- wheel a are relatively traversed sideways so that the grinding is done against the step b' by the side a<1>, a<1> of the wheel, the corner of which is kept sharp, and the periphery of which is given a clearance a<3> to avoid heating the finished surface b<4>. Thus traversed, a shallow groove is formed in the glass ; and in order to produce a flat surface, the glass and the wheel are either traversed relatively in a series of closely-spaced parallel lines, or the glass is rotated on an axis normal to the required surface and the wheel is moved radially to this axis. The glass may be cooled by water supplied to the centre of the wheel and distributed to its operative edge by centrifugal force. The wheel is run at a high peripheral velocity, for example 5,000 ft. a minute ; but the relative advance of the wheel and the glass is much smaller than is usual in glass-grinding. The cylindrical periphery of a piece of glass or lens may be similarly ground by setting the axis of the cylinder to be ground in the plane containing the surface of the wheel, and rotating the cylinder so that it is attacked by the sharp edge of the wheel, which is both rotated and traversed parallel to the axis of the cylinder. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, a short cylinder is produced by using a cup-shaped wheel c having a working edge c<1>, the wheel c and glass b both being rotated. When used for producing the curved surfaces of convex lenses, the axes of rotation of the glass b, Fig. 4, and the wheel c are arranged in one plane, and the work - spindle d is turned about a second axis intersecting the work-spindle axis at right-angles to the plane.
