Patent GB-191105718-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Clocks for Timing Billiards and similar Games.
Inventor: DEACON ARTHUR CHARLES
Filed: 1911-03-07
Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 5718. Deacon, A. C. March 7. Alarm mechanism; stop-mechanism. -Relates to a clock for timing billiards &c., of the kind provided with a third or billiard hand which is set at zero at the commencement of a game and, at the expiration of the time allowed, is automatically returned to zero, a bell being sounded. The invention consists primarily in connecting the billiard hand to the minute hand by a clutch operated by the movement of a bell hammer. The apparatus is set at the beginning of a game by pulling back a spring-pressed hammer 1 by means of a cord 9, the hammer being retained by the engagement of a pin 25 thereon with a two-armed lever 23, 24. The hammer carries with it a cam 3, which allows a spring- pressed clutch lever 10 to turn and thereby connect a sliding clutch carrying the third hand 6 with the sleeve driving the minute hand. At the expiration of the time allowed, a pin 22 projecting from a wheel 21 which gears with the sliding clutch, raises the two-armed lever 23, 24, thus releasing the hammer to sound the bell. The cam 3 moves the clutch lever 10 and disengages from the driving-mechanism the sliding clutch carrying the hand 6. A spring- pressed lever 27, which has previously been held in the raised position by an arm 28 of the cam 3, is now allowed to rest on a heart-shaped cam 26, which is thereby caused to rotate and return the pointer 6 to zero. The hammer and bell may be replaced by an electric bell the circuit of which is closed when the hand 6 returns to zero. In a modified construction, the "setting" movement of the cam 3 pushes a pair of loosely connected pinions carried by a spring-pressed lever into engagement with pinions connected with the minute hand and the hand 6 respectively.
