Title: Improvements relating to Amusement Apparatus.
Inventor: NEWTON WALTER SHAW
IPC: G07F17/38
Filed: 1911-04-21
Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 9712. Newton, W. S., Smith, F., and Rhodes, W. April 21. Tivoli billiards.-In a coin-freed game apparatus, the coin, after insertion, is delivered at the lower end of a loop-shaped track b, where it rests in front of one arm c of a spring projector. When the projector is operated by an external handle, the coin travels along the track and either returns to its position in front of the arm c or it falls into one of three pockets g, h. The pockets g lead the coin to a cash till. Delivery mechanism; coin action, mechanicalconnexion. - The pocket h leads to a checkdispensing apparatus. Thus a coin falling into the pocket h travels down a shoot i and rests on a pivoted catch k. If a slide m is pulled, the coin is forced against the catch k and moves it out of the path of a projection o and allows the slide to deliver a check from a pile n, the coin falling into the till.

Title: Machine for Vending Postage Stamps.
Inventor: SIELAFF MAX
IPC: G07F11/68
Filed: 1911-10-02
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 21,670. Sielaff, M. Oct. 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Feeding webs. - In machines for delivering postage stamps and the like from a continuous strip of the type in which the feed is effected by prongs, clips, or the like and a pair of rotatable rollers, the prongs and the rollers are arranged to operate simultaneously instead of alternately. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the feeding-prong a and rollers c are mounted on a reciprocating frame d, and a clip e on the framework serves to hold the strip s taut. At each upward movement of the frame the prong a and rollers c move up over the strip, the rollers being rotated in the direction of the arrows, and the prong takes up a position ready to enter the next row of perforations and feed down the strip during the return movement of the frame. During this return movement, the rollers c remain stationary, and a movable knife g co-operating with a fixed blade g<1> severs the foremost stamp, the knife being mounted on the frame. The rollers c are driven by a rack k, Fig. 5, through a gear i, ratchet-wheel i', and pawl i<2>, the ratchet arrangement permitting reverse rotation of the rollers c during the first part of the downward movement of the frame d before the prong a has entered the perforations of the strip. Alternatively the clip e may be arranged between the prong a and the rollers c. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, the feed is effected by the clip e, and, during the downward movement, the strip is moved to such an extent that the corresponding perforations are engaged by the prong a during the upward movement of the frame and strip, whereupon the knife g severs the foremost stamp. In a further modification, the rollers c and knives g are mounted in the framework.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 26. Lake, S. Jan. 1. Subaqueous sound signals.-A bell or other signalling-device on a submersible vessel is mounted so as to project into the water out of a housing 12, which is situated in a compartment of the ship between two air-tight bulk-heads. The bell is supported by a casting 14, which is bolted on to the housing 12, and it can be taken inside for repairs &c., even while the vessel is submerged, provided the air pressure in the air-tight compartment has been previously raised. The dome of the bell is clamped between the casting 14 and a flange on a gland 17, which carries the clapper-supports 20 and through which passes the actuating-rod 23. The bell is struck by a magnet 30, of the ironclad type, which attracts, against a spring 37, a disk-armature 26 on the rod 23. The armature 26 has a non-magnetic cover-sheet to prevent sticking. The magnet 30 is supported by a yoke 33 from the casting 14, and is therefore accessible by merely unbolting the hood 31, which can be done without disturbing the rest of the mechanism. The bell can then, if desired, be struck manually by gripping the armature 26. A solenoid may be substituted for the magnet. The connexions are made by removable plugs 34<1>. The keel 40 forms a guard for the bell, being recessed at the point at which it passes beneath it.

Abstract: 14,124. Bennie, G. June 11. [Addition to 5382/12.] Panoramas; theatrical appliances.-Relates to the apparatus described in the parent Specification for imparting pitching and rolling movements to a ship on the stage and consists in providing means for giving wave-like motion to the canvas 'sea.' The canvas 1, Fig. 1, which represents the sea is supported on wires 5, 6 which are stretched between frames 3. Arms 7, which are attached to the edge of the platform B, that carries the ship, extend beneath the canvas and lift it in imitation of waves as the ship rocks. The arms may be pivoted at 8 to the platform B and may be secured at any desired angle so that the amount by which the canvas is lifted may be adjusted. The base H, which supports the whole apparatus, may be mounted on vertical guides in a boxlike casing, and may be lifted and lowered so that the ship may be made apparently to sink. When this takes place, the waves are produced by auxiliary mechanism consisting of a number of cams 12, Fig. 4, which are rotated from a shaft 15 and are supported by arms 14 freely mounted on the shaft 15. The lower ends of the arms are connected by a bar 16 and the whole of the arms may be turned about the shaft 15 to bring the cams 12 into or out of contact with the canvas 1. The arms 14 can be secured in any desired position. The base H or the box in which it slides may be mounted on wheels, and the whole device may be adapted to receive passengers as an amusement device at exhibitions.
