The lugs i, j are preferably formed integral with the plate l, and are secured to the gate by screws m covered by the look when in the locking position. A hole may be bored in the bolt a, to permit the insertion of the fastening-screw m<1>.
Patent GB-190202583-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Polyphones or Mechanical Musical Instruments with Automatically Interchageable Note Sheets or Discs
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1902-01-31
Granted: 1902-11-06
Abstract: 2583. Thompson, W. P., [Fabrik Lochmann'scher Musikwerke]. Jan. 31. Automatic instruments.-Relates to instruments in which sounding teeth are plucked by tune-sheets. The tune - sheets are interchangeable and move hori. zontally in and out of their operative positions, so that the motor which drives the apparatus is not required to do the work of lifting them. A disc 3 operated by the main wheel 1 is provided with projections 4, 5 which raise and lower a lever 7, having on one end a toothed segment gearing with a pinion 11 and thus operating levers 13 which are linked to the tune-sheet carriers. The tunesheets are arranged horizontally in a magazine which can be raised or lowered by hand ; at the proper moment, arms 44 are pushed forwards and engage with notches in the tune-sheet, which previously rested in the magazine and was retained in its proper position by a vertical rod 38. A spurwheel 25 operates a lever 17 which carries the presser-bar and also the tune-sheet driving-pinion 21, and when the tune-sheet is in position, the presser-bar descends, thus forcing the tune-sheet down on a central spring pivot 18, and causing the driving-wheel to engage with the tune-sheet. The driving-wheel carries a pinion 19 which is simultaneously engaged with a pinion 20 in gear with the main wheel. When raised, the driving-wheel 21 is locked by a spring, which is automatically released when the presser-bar descends. One form of mechanism for engaging with the tune-sheet, so as to bring it into operative position, is shown in Fig. 17. Sliding blocks 45 connected by a rod 48 are operated by links from the levers 13. A block 42 is connected by springs 51, 52 with the blocks 45, and carries a lever to which is attached a rod 43 caused to engage with the tune-sheet when the lever is depressed by a spring 54. To cause the lever to move, it has a tooth 53 which normally engages with a notch in the rod 48, but is forced out of it so as to withdraw the rod 43 from the tune - sheet when relative motion takes place between the blocks 42, 45. This motion is provided for by stops 56, 57 placed in suitable positions in the tubular guide 47 in which the carrier moves. Two other forms are also shown in the Specification, in which the arms which engage with the tune-sheet form parts of levers actuated by suitable guides. In a modified form of apparatus, the magazine is raised by hand and falls by its weight, so as to bring the tune-sheets successively within reach of the arms which move it into operative position. The fall of the magazine is checked by a flyer and is arrested, when required, by a catch. The catch is automatically released, so as to allow the magazine to descend further and supply a new tune-sheet, but this automatic release device, together with the lever 7 and the parts operated thereby, can be thrown out of action when it is required to repeat a piece.

Abstract: 12,188. Bell, H. R. April 15, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Stoppers; refilling, preventing. -The bottle is made and stop- pered so that it cannot be opened without breaking off a portion of the neck, thereby preventing it from being refilled and sold as the production of the original merchant &c. with- out detection. The neck 1 of the bottle is provided with an extension 2, connected to it by uniting-pieces 3, which can be easily broken. The neck is closed by an ordinary cork 5, to which a metal disc or cap 6 is fixed by means of a wire screw 7. The disc may be cast on the coiled head 10 of the screw ; or, the upper end of the screw may be passed through a lug on the disc. The extension 2 is closed by a stopper 4. To open the bottle, the extension 2 is broken off, the disc 6 and screw 7 are removed, and the cork 5 then withdrawn. The disc and screw are removed by inserting a pointed instrument in the hole 11 in the disc, and unscrewing the screw from the cork. The stopper 4 may be used to close the bottle after the cork 5 has been with- drawn. The disc 6 may be flush, or nearly so, with the bottom of the uniting-pieces 3, as shown, or it may lie within the extension 2. In the latter case, the neck 1 may have an upward internal extension, adapted to prevent the disc from being tampered with through the openings between the uniting-pieces.
