Abstract: 10,511. Batterill, J. May 19. Races, starting.-A starting-gate is constructed with two radial arms G, Figs. I and II, which are provided with catches H, H<1>, Fig. II, for securing the tapes, the arms being connected to cranked levers D, which are pivoted to brackets on collars C connected to hollow uprights A. One end of each lever D is flattened so that it can pass through slots on a collar C, and this end of the lever is slotted, and engaged by a pin on a rod E, which passes through a cap at the top of the post A and is guided so to move in the post A. The rod E is fitted with a nut which limits the motion of a loosely-mounted collar F, and a spring 0 is placed between the collars C, F. When an arm G is depressed to lower the gate, the spring 0 is compressed and tends to raise the rod E, and, through the action of the lever D, to raise the arm G and with it the gate. Before the race, both arms G are lowered and held by pivoted catches K<1>, which are formed with slots inclined in opposed directions and adapted to engage pins J on the arms G. The catches are connected by a cord tensioned by a spring L, the cord passing over pulleys on the tops of the posts A. In starting a race, one catch K' is actuated by a hand, and the other is simultaneously actuated by the connecting-cord, so that both arms rise together.. The posts A are connected by wire or the like N adapted to keep the posts a definite distance apart. The posts are stayed by adjustable guy ropes attached to the tops of the posts and to pegs in the ground, or attached to plates hinged to the base of each post. The feet of the posts are provided with straight or T-shaped flat plates, spiked to prevent the posts from turning round, the plates serving to prevent the posts from sinking too far in the ground. Or the posts may be let into wooden sockets let into the ground. According to the Provisional Specification, the wire which connects the catches, instead of passing over pulleys, is connected to bell-crank levers pivoted to the posts.

Inventor: BENZ-WEGMANN ERNST
Filed: 1906-02-27
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 4843. Wegmann, E. Benz-. Feb. 27. Filling chaff.-The sack to be filled is slipped over the end of the vertically-sliding tube i when the latter is in its raised position, and the tube i is then lowered into the position shown in Fig. 1 by operating the belt-shifting rod n and thus causing vertical motion of the rods d, which carry the tube i and are driven from the shaft f by worms and worm-wheels. The sack is clamped against the sides of the fixed cylinder c by movement of the pivotedbar 4 into the position shown in Fig. 3. The plunger q, driven from the shaft t by means of a worm and worm-wheel, is then caused to rise by operation of the belt-shifting lever y. Chaff having been filled into the cylinder c, the plunger q is again lowered and the rods d are then raised to withdraw the tube i from the sack. A fork 14 is stuck through the sack, the prongs 13 passing through recesses 17 in the end of the cylinder c. The plunger q is then raised, and, after the sack has been closed, the fork 14 and bar 4 are removed to allow the filled sack to be replaced by an empty one. A projection 16 on one of the rods d engages with projections 15, 18 on the rod n, and thus automatically shifts the belt-fork rod p when the tube i reaches its bighest and lowest positions. The projection 7 on the plunger rod operates the rod 8 in a similar manner, and shifts the belt-fork rod Z by means of a rack and pinion when the plunger q has reached its highest position. The plunger q and the tube i may be operated hydraulically. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specifications No. 1471, A.D. 1881, and No. 16,397, A.D. 1898.]

Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 13,017. Goldsmith, E. M. June 5. Clocks combined with moneyboxes; clock-cases.-Clocks are combined with moneyboxes, access being had to the winding-mechanism of the clock only after a coin has been inserted into the box. The clock 1 is mounted in the casing 2 over the box 4 which contains the coin-freed mechanism and serves as the moneybox. The casing is provided at the back with the door 3, Fig. 6, extending up to such a distance as when locked to cover the winding-spindle 5. The door is locked by means of the catch 6, Fig. 6, which is adapted to pass through the box 4 and be engaged by the bolt 19 mounted on the back of the box. The coin is inserted through slots 10, 11, Fig. 3, in the sides of the casing and box 4 respectively, and falls into the tray 13, where, when the knob 18 is pulled, it forms a connexion between the sweep 15 connected to the knob and the flange 20 on the sliding bolt 19, which is thereby withdrawn, enabling the door 3 to be opened to give access to the winding-mechanism. As the door is opened, the horn 7, Fig. 6, fixed thereto is withdrawn from the interior of the box 4 and the tray 13, which normally rests on the horn, drops and allows the coin -to fall into the box. When the door, which automatically fastens itself, is closed, the horn raises the tray to its horizontal position. In a modification, a tipping tray 26, Fig. 11, falls by the weight of the coin and releases the door, the catch 30 of which is held by the bar 29 on the tray pivot 28. To the tray 26 is pivoted the cranked plate 35, which passes through a slot therein and is provided with a flange 36, Fig. 14, which extends under the pivot pin 28. To the catch 30 of the door is pivoted the arm 37, Fig. 13, the other end of which engages with a slide 39 on the pivot pin 28 and as the door opens draws it forward. In sliding along the pivot pin 28, the slide 39 bears on the flange 36 of the plate 35 and raises the latter so as to allow the coin to slide off over the flange 32 of the tray 26, which has hitherto kept it in position. The box 4 is provided with the sliding bottom 23, Fig. 3, which is locked in position by a lever 22 operable by a key inserted in the keyhole 4. Normally, this keyhole is covered by the door 3, so that the box cannot be opened and the coins removed till a coin has been inserted to open the door 3 as described above. The ledge 12, Fig. 3, is provided on the box 4 to prevent tampering with the mechanism through the coin slots.
