Title: Improvements in Billiard Tables.
Inventor: KRUEGER WILHELM
Filed: 1908-07-16
Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 15,102. Kruger, W. July 16. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Billiards &c. - A table for continental games of billiards &c. is constructed with removable cushions, and is provided with a coin-operated device for releasing the balls after they have been pocketed. The table a has rigid side cushions b, Fig. 2, the top ends of which are fitted with removable pieces f shown in dotted lines. Holes k are formed in the bed of the table, and inclined channels i are arranged beneath the bed to lead balls from the holes to a drawer h. A removable cushion rail d, Fig. 4, has a cushion d<1> on one edge and recesses n on the other edge. In playing cannon billiards, the rail is placed on the table so that it covers the holes k and presents the cushion d<1> to the playing-surface. In playing bagatelle, the rail is reversed so that balls can enter the recesses n and fall through the holes k. The balls run down the channels i and are held by one end of a pivoted piece o, Fig. 6, the other end of which is engaged by a projection m<1> on the end of a screwed rod k<1>. To release a ball, a coin is inserted in a slot e, Fig. 1, in the table. The coin falls on a plate secured to the rod k<1> and rotates the rod. The displacement of the rod lifts the lever o and releases the ball.

Title: Improvements in Milking Machines.
Inventor: LAWRENCE WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: A01J5/04
Filed: 1909-12-03
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 28,204. Lawrence, W. H., and Kennedy, R. Dec. 3. Fluid-actuated gears.-Pulsators for milking- machines are provided with a pneumaticallyoperated slide-valve. The pulsator comprises plungers 6, 7 connected to an operating-diaphragm 9 in the chamber 10, and working in cylinders 4, 5. The variations of pressure in the chamber 10 are controlled by a piston-valve 34, to which the chamber is connected by a tube 33, the area of which is controlled by a screw 32. The valve comprises two pistons 34 connected by a neck 61 and moving in a casing 41 in which are cast ports 65, 37, 66 leading respectively to the vacuum space 44, the chamber 10, and the atmosphere. The chamber 10 is thus connected alternately to vacuum and air. The valve is moved by changes of pressure at its ends. The ends of the casing are closed by screw-caps 60, and are connected by several small passages to the spaces 43, 45, each having two ports opening into the upper and lower ends of the cylinders 4, 5 respectively. The air port 53 is connected to the upper port 49 of the space 43 when the vacuum port 48 from the space 44 is connected to the upper port 51 of the space 45, the connexions being made by horizontal slots 15 or passages in the plungers 6, 7. Vacuum is thus admitted to the righthand end of the valve-casing and air to the left, thus moving the valve to the right and admitting air to the chamber 10 by the passages 66, 33. The plungers 6, 7 are then drawn down into their cylinders and the slots &c. 15 connect the lower ports 49, 51 to the ports 47, 54, causing the valve to move to the left. Rubber &c. stops 62 are provided on the valve to prevent noise. The space 44 is connected to vacuum by the passage 46, Fig. 4, annular space 47, and passage 48<a>. The casing 10 is held in place by pins entering the holes 12, 13, and the faces of the valve casing and plunger casing are turned up to fit together.

Patent GB-191018987-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Automatically Stripping or Cleaning the Card Clothing of Carding Engines, or the like purposes.
Inventor: BEECH HANDEL
IPC: D01G15/76
Filed: 1910-08-12
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 18,987. Beech, H. Aug. 12. Carding-engines; combing-machines.-Relates to a timing or regulating device for use in the stripping or cleaning of the card clothing of carding-engines, or for like purposes, where the periodical removal of fluff or dust may be effected, for example in cotton-combing, or fabric shearing or brushing machinery, or for controlling the operation of a grinder for the wires of card clothing, the device being capable of repeating automatically, after intervals of rest, a cycle of periodical movements, which are imparted to parts of the mechanism involved in the cleaning and like operations. Fig. 1 shows an escapement device designed to impart intermittent rotation to a shaft upon which the escapement drum n is secured, the movements of the shaft for example being employed to operate a multiple-way valve, which controls fluid under pressure to cause it to actuate mechanism, (1) to stop the feed-mechanism of the carding-engine, (2) to open communication between the part to be cleaned and the suction pipe, and (3) to stop the cleaning operation and to allow the feed to be recommenced. A continuously-driven shaft b imparts, through gearing i, j, k, a slow movement to a gear-wheel l on a shaft m. This gear carries round with it a pin x mounted on a spring-controlled arm y loose on the shaft, and causes it to operate a lever w freeing the lower end from a stop w<2>, and allowing a spring g to push forward a clutch part d into engagement with a corresponding part e fast on a shaft c. The shaft c, on rotating, operates through gearing s and a pin r, a lever p, moving it to one side and freeing a projection o on a drum n loose on the shaft m. This drum then rotates quickly under the action of a spring, one end of which is attached to the shaft m and the other end to the drum. The rotation continues until a second projection o engages the lever p. This in turn is freed by a further movement of the lever p and a series of short quick movements are imparted in this way to the drum m and the shaft on which it is mounted, until a projection t on the drum engages a lug on the clutch part d and opens the clutch. The drum n is then held stationary while the continued rotation of the gear-wheel l gradually increases the tension of the spring within the drum. The drum, instead of being turned by a spring, may be operated by a weight at the end of a cord &c. wound round the drum. Fluid under pressure may also be utilized to act upon the vanes of a turbine mounted inside the drum. The fluid may be compressed by a piston operated by a cam from the worm i; or it may be put under pressure by independent means.

The case is seated on soft vulcanite, leather, or the like m held in place by a ring n and supported on gimbal rings o, p to allow for canting of the case.

Abstract: 1628. Schou, P. Jan. 24, 1910, [Convention date]. Treating with liquids.-Relates to absorption apparatus of the kind in which the gas or vapour is brought into contact with films of the absorbing-liquid formed on the surface of a hollow body by immersing it in the liquid and then withdrawing it. The present invention is intended for use with corrosive liquids, such as concentrated sulphuric acid. The hollow body 7, capable of being lowered in and raised from the liquid 11, is perforated at the bottom and is filled to a certain height with small pumice, glass beads, or, as shown, with upright glass tubes 9 tapered at the bottom. The gas or vapour enters the body 7 through the tube 1, passes over the inner and outer surfaces of the tubes 9, then over the surface of the liquid 11, and finally over the exterior of the body 7 before escaping through the pipe 2. If desired, the liquid can be cooled by water in the jacket 5. Instead of the body 7 being movable, it may be made stationary and the tank 3 movable.

This notch also forms a way along which dead steam can pass to the exhaust. The first redirecting-chamber is formed with its receiving- side of greater depth than its delivery side, in order to catch all the steam issuing from the nozzle. As shown in Fig. 2, the rear portion of the plate r<2> is level with the rear of the admission nozzle j.
