Abstract: 5730. Garry, G. B. March 10. Regulating and control -transmitting gear for winding and paying-out apparatus.- Relates to safety mechanism for steamdriven winding-engines of the kind in which the throttle valve is automatically locked at the end of a wind and is released by the engineman reversing the engine, and comprises a modified arrangement of the mechanism, and an attachment whereby the pit-head man may lock the throttle valve simultaneously with the ring- ing of the signal bell. When the cage reaches the end of the wind, it engages a tappet connected by suitable mechanism to a sliding member A, which is pushed forwards to lock the throttle lever E and thereby prevent the throttle valve from being opened. The sliding member A is withdrawn by a bell-crank lever H operated by a crank g<2> connected by links to the reversing-lever F. A similar mechanism is operated when the other cage reaches the bank, the bell-crank lever corresponding to the lever H being operated by a crank g<3> during the opposite motion of the reversing-lever. In order to allow the throttle lever E to be locked by the pit-head man simultaneously with the ringing of the signal bell, levers P mounted in brackets n<1> on the members A are connected at their upper ends by chains l to the signal lever, and at their lower ends to bolts a<1> sliding in the members A and engaging the throttle lever E. The levers P are also coupled to a handle p controlled by the engineman.

Abstract: 17,756. Kelly, G. B., and Wood, F. L. Nov. 11, 1908. Selective punching-machines.-In a machine for punching tune-sheets, in which the selection of the punches is determined by the engagement with a master sheet of spring - actuated pins detachably connected with punch-controlling devices, means are provided for momentarily disengaging these devices from the pins to eliminate the friction between these parts and thereby to allow of the use of light springs for actuating the pins. The sheets 20 to be punched are fed intermittently through a guide 19 to be perforated bv punches 18 mounted loosely in a cam-actuated reciprocating punch-head 17, the selection of the punches being effected by slides 22 operated from spring-pressed pins 4 adapted to pass into a slot 3 in a roller 2 when these pins register with the perforations or slots in the master sheet 1. At the beginning of each cycle of operations, the slides 25, which are linked to the slides 22, are momentarily withdrawn by levers 28 operated from the shaft 15 to free the angle-levers 31 and so allow springs 33 to force the pins 4 into contact with or through the master sheet 1. Springs 34 operate the slides 22 corresponding to the pins 4 which have entered the slot 3, and thus form a connexion between the punches 18 and the punchhead 17. The slides 22 and the pins 4 are returned to their original position by levers 28, 9 respectively.

Abstract: 20,584. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Noeggerath, J. E.]. Sept. 8. Homopolar or acyclic machines; rotary transformers. - Homopolar machines, and more particularly rotary transformers and generators supplying currents of relatively variable voltages to a number of load circuits, are provided with two or more sets of axially-displaced armature conductors B, B<1>, Fig. 1, and collecting-rings C, C<1> rotating within a number of similarly-displaced fields, which are excited by separate coils E, E<1> so that the relative strengths of the fields may be varied. The conductors B may be connected as a motor winding to the supply circuit F, Fig. 2, while the conductors B<1> act as a generator winding. The field coils E, E<1> are provided with rheostats G, G<1>, the arms of which are connected together so that, when the current in one coil is increased, the current in the other coil is diminished. The flux cut by the conductors B may thus be kept constant so as to keep the speed constant, The number of homopolar fields may be increased, as shown in Fig. 3, in which in addition to the main field coils- E, E', the current through which may be maintained constant, two other field coils E<2>, E<3> are provided, the current through which may be varied or reversed. The two sets of conductors B, B' may be connected in series across the supply circuit, while the load may be supplied from the conductors B<1>, as in an auto-transformer. In a further modification, two sets of armature conductors, while still axially displaced, overlap so that both sets cut one homopolar field, and a second homopolar field surrounds a portion of the armature through which only one set of conductors extends.

Title: Improvements relating to Game Apparatus.
Inventor: STAPLETON CHARLES HERBERT
IPC: A63F7/02
Filed: 1910-04-15
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 9165. Stapleton, C. H. April 15. Table games. - In a game apparatus of the Tivoli-billiards type, the insertion of a coin causes a barrier d<1>, Fig. 1, to rise and liberate balls which roll down to a gate d<2>. The gate is turned by means of a handle e to deliver one ball to a projector operated by the handle a. The ball, when projected, passes along spiral tracks b, b', b2, and falls into one of a series of pockets k. A ball falling into certain of these pockets passes through a shoot and through an opening l<1> to a position behind the barrier d<1>. Other pockets conduct the ball to a shoot into which projects a lever attached to the pivot of a switch c. Thus, a ball falling into these pockets, closes the switch c to divert the succeeding ball along a track b<3> and then passes through an opening into play again. A further pocket of the series k leads the ball to mechanism which delivers a token through an orifice v<1>. The succeeding ball, which is diverted by the switch c along the track b<3>, falls into one of a series of pockets o, and is either delivered behind the barrier d<1> or to mechanism which liberates extra balls for use by the player, or to the mechanism which delivers a token. Should a ball fail to fall into any of the pockets o or k, it rolls along the parts of the track situated beneath the pockets, and, passing into a hole, is conducted by means of a shoot to a hole i<2>, and delivered to the gate d<2>. The handle e, which operates the gate d<2>, also operates a shaft e<4>, Fig. 3, situated behind and parallel with the front board of the apparatus. Mounted on this shaft are three carriers g, and a cam which opens the switch when the handle e is turned to deliver a ball to the projector. A ball falling into the pockets which are connected with the token-delivering apparatus passes down a shoot and lodges in a pocket in a carrier g. When the shaft is turned, the ball engages a pin t<4> on a pivoted lever t and lifts it into the path of a cam g<4> fixed to the carrier. The cam causes the lever t to push out a token by means of a projection t<5>, which engages the slide of the token-delivering apparatus. A pin h on the carrier depresses a slide h<2> and operates the gate d<2>, Fig. 1, which delivers a ball to the striker. A second carrier also fixed to the shaft e<4> liberates extra balls, which are stored in a short channel, when it receives a ball from the pockets. A lever has one end connected with the mechanism for operating the switch, and the other end moves into the shoot connected with the orifice l<1>, so that no balls can issue from the orifice until the movements effected by the handle e are completed

Abstract: 7908. Boult, A. J., [Leeson, J. R.]. March 29. Creel arrangements; skein holders.-In devices for controlling the unwinding of thread, yarn, &c. from hanks or skeins, in delivering it to winding or other machines, of the kind in which a rotative impulse is imparted directly to the supply holder by the movement of an element actuated by the variations in tension on the yarn &c., the tension - controlled member is pivoted on the axis of the supply holder. The supply holder, Fig. 1, comprises a pair of relatively small reels R, R', over which the hank or skein S is stretched in a loop. The upper reel R is mounted on a spindle r carried in arms E clamped upon an horizontal rod e supported by A-shaped brackets B. The lower reel R' is mounted upon a pivoted arm F carried by a bracket G adjustable along a vertical rod h. The hub of the arm F is pressed by a spring against a circular boss on the bracket G, the friction between the parts being sufficient to hold the arm F in position. The yarn y is led off the supply holder, passes through an eye t' at the end of a flexible arm t, and thence through a guide z to the traversing thread - guide d, which lays it on the spindle b. The arm t is mounted upon a hub p on the spindle r, Fig. 2, of the upper reel, and is provided with a trusslike extension t<2>. A brake band s is secured at one end to a piece t' extending from the part t<2> of the arm t, is passed round a brake-drum o on the spindle r, and is secured at the other end by a spring u to a clamp v which can be adjusted along the arm t' of the part t<2>. A flat spring w is secured to the hub p, and passes through a slot in an arm x<2> of a rod x, the position of which can be adjusted. When the tension in the yarn increases, the arm t is pulled down and an impulse is imparted to the runner R through the brake band s, but under normal tension the brake band s acts to prevent the runner R from gaining impetus. The spindle of the runner R can be mounted in one or other of the bosses e', e<2>, e<3>, and the rod x in either of the brackets e<5>, e<6>. Stops q, q<1> are provided to limit the movement of the arm t. Specification 569/10 is referred to.
