Abstract: 24,967. Webb, J. H. Oct. 27. Scoring and marking apparatus.-Scoring- devices for billiards are provided with coinfreed apparatus which can be operated by either of two coins according to the score required, and which are provided with means to prevent tampering and with a device to register the number of games played. Scoring-rollers 9, 10, Fig. 1, which show a blank face when in the locked position, are mounted in a case 1 and provided with cams 16, 11, an interlocking lever 26, and a coin-lever 21 pivoted at 25. A coin is placed in a slot 5 and falls on to a part 22 of the coin-lever. A hinged plate 35, stops 35<a>, and devices 36, prevent tampering with the coin or the coin-lever. If a sixpence is used, the lever 21 is rocked so as to release the lever 24 from a cam ledge 12 and allow the roller 10 to be rotated to show faces registering 0 to 25 and 25 to 50 at an orifice 2. A stop 13 engaging the catch 24 prevents further rotation. As the cam 11 rotates, it rocks a lever 26 so as to release a part 27 from a depression 17 of the cam 16, allowing play from 0 to 25 and 25 to 50. at the upper orifice. When the rollers are set to zero, the coin-lever is rocked to release the coin into a box 8, and the levers relock. When a shilling is used, the coin-lever 21 is rocked so as to clear a stop 13 on the cam 11 and allow the roller 10 to show 0 to 100. Similarly a part 23 on the coin-lever operates the locking-lever 28 so as to clear a stop 19 on the upper roller. A numbered tape 4, Fig. 2, serves to show the number of games, and is wound round a roller 38 connected with the top roller 9, Fig. 1, which can turn only one way on account of a pawl 33.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Continuous Electric Current Generators with Separate Excitation.
IPC: H02K23/36
Filed: 1911-03-21
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 7045. Krupp Akt. - Ges., F. May 18, 1910, [Convention date]. Exciting. -In a Ward-Leonard system in which continuous-current motors are driven by a series generator having also separate excitation, the generator is provided with an additional counter-compounding coil carried by an auxiliary magnet-frame, which is saturated when the series current is relatively small. The motors are thereby brought to rest with certainty, and are caused to take a small standstill current when the separate excitation of the generator is switched off. The machine has small auxiliary poles F, Fig. 3, carrying the series current and so wound as to oppose the main poles H magnetically, the latter poles having additional coils for separate excitation. The magnetization curve of the counter-winding K is steeper than that of the main winding D, and then rapidly bends over to saturation. The volt-ampere characteristics for such a generator are shown in Fig. 1, in which the line Ml gives the volts required solely for overcoming the resistance of the motor circuit. The lines Cc, Cd<1>, Cn<1> respectively indicate the volts due to the residual field, the residual field plus the additive compounding, and the residual field plus the additive and auxiliary counter-compoundings. It is shown in the Specification that the standstill current of a motor driven by such a generator may be reduced from the value FG to F'G'. When the generator separate excitation is switched on, the voltage curve is, as shown at p, parallel to and slightly above the resistance line Ml, from which it follows that the generator will drive motors stably, even at slow speeds. disks clamped together produce a hollow cylinder with radiating arms a' and a rim a<3>, the openings therethrough having stepped sides a<5> making an acute angle with the plane of the disks. The stepped sides may be filed or machined.

(1) To enable the magazine channels to be changed without the necessity of changing the typesetting rails, all the channels 9, Fig. 6, are formed of the same width but the upper part 10 of one wall has a variable thickness to accommodate types of different width. At the upper end of each channel, the part 10 is removed to facilitate the entrance of the types, and at the lower end the part 10 is extended to the base of the channel, Fig. 7. (2) The type-setting rails 12, Fig. 8, are shortened and are connected to flexible bands 13 which form continuations of the rails. The bands pass over a roller 17 around loose pulleys 18, and are attached to the upper end of the magazine. The rails are reciprocated by the roller 17 which is moved at right-angles to its axis by a cam. When the roller strikes a spring 22, the movement of the bands 13 over the roller is stopped and the rails are raised. When a magazine channel is full, additional types coming from the distributor pass through an aperture 27.
