Patent GB-189713247-A (GB)
Title: Improved Weighing Machine adapted to be used in conjunction with a Crane or Hoist for Weighing the Loads whilst Raising them.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1897-05-28
Granted: 1898-04-23
Abstract: 13,247. Johnson, J. Y., [Eisenwerk Actiengesellschaft, (vorm. Nagel & Kaemp)]. May 28. Weighing-apparatus combined with cranes, hoists, or winches.-The roller b pivoted to the doublearmed lever a carries the weight-supporting chain, the pressure on which is transmitted to the weighted single lever d by the rod c. When the load is being hoisted, the cam portion of the disc f on the crane &c. acts on the bell crank g, and through the cord i rotates the weighted disc k, withdraws the stop l, and allows the pointer to indicate the weight of the load. After the cam portion has passed the bell crank, the stop resumes its normal position. To prevent the weighing-apparatus from coming into action when the load is being lowered, the sector m is placed so that the periphery of the disc f is truly circular.

Patent GB-189823160-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Transformer Switches.
Inventor: SCHLATTER ALFRED
Filed: 1898-11-03
Granted: 1898-12-23
Abstract: 23,160. Schlatter, A. Nov. 3. Distributing; lighting, systems of; switches.-Relates to automatic switches for controlling the number of transformers according to the load, and consists of improvements upon the arrangement described in Specification No. 17,470, A.D. 1897. In the arrangement shown in Fig. II, T<1> to T<4> are transformers, the controlling-switches T<2>, T<3>, and T<4> being shown in different positions. The magnets M controlling the switch arms H have two opposing windings. When the load is reduced and the current lessens, a weight G, as in the second position, falls and forces down the contact-lever h, so making a shunt circuit at c. The magnet M is thus demagnetized, and the weight drops lower, compressing a spring finger S, which it passes. The lever h then rises under the action of the weight g and breaks the circuit at c. Instead of having two windings on the magnet M, the lever h may be arranged to short-circuit the one winding.

Granted: 1900-01-13
Abstract: 23,585. Lake, H. H., [Thresher, E. E.]. Nov. 25. Targets.-A hollow metal bird target 8 is suspended by a carrier 13 from a travelling wire 12 in such a manner that it will fall into the position shown in Fig. 2 when struck. The hollow body is constructed of two halves with a central slot 10 within which the carrier bar 13 fits loosely. A disc mounted on a pin 15 of the carrier has pivoted to it four tangential rods or spokes which fit under the slotted edges of the bird when they are thrust outwards by turning the pin. When the target is struck by a shot, one of the internal projections 25 of the bird acts on one of the rods, and rotates the disc, thus releasing the bird from the carrier. The wings 30 are pivoted at 32 to the body, and are maintained in an outstretched position, until the target is struck, by projections bearing against the under surface of the carrier. The tall 33 is of a forked shape, as shown in Fig. 3, and a spring on the long prong 34 draws the tail to the body. The target is detached from the carrier at the end of its flight by pulling the tail outwards until the short prong 35 is clear of the body.
