Abstract: 6730. Ell, W. H. March 19. Shooting-galleries ; targets.- Relates to means for recording the number of hits on a target or bull's-eye, and to apparatus for returning the coin, after a certain number of hits, in coin-freed apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 4469, A.D. 1904. The target p is carried by a spring escapement lever i, pivoted in a support j secured to a fixed bridge-piece h, and moves in a flanged opening o in a front plate m provided with an aperture n, through which a number on the marking-disc a is seen. Projections k, r of the lever engage with studs g projecting from the face of the marking-disc, which is rotated with a step-by-step movement by a spring e, to record the hits. The spring is wound up and the marking-disc returned to its starting point by a cord or flexible connection f, which is wound on a drum d of the disc, and is operated by hand or by the draw-bar of the coin-freed machine. A rod connected with a coin-retaining plate of the coinfreed apparatus is pivoted to a bell-crank catch bearing against a cam-disc S on the marking-disc spindle b. When the catch is opposite to a flat part of the cam, the coin is released. The invention is applicable to sectional and figure targets.

Granted: 1905-01-12
Abstract: 21,796. Churchward, A. Oct. 10, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Brakes; propelling by electromotors. Relates to a dash-pot device for regulating the speed of movement of the operating handle of a motor controller for use on electrically-driven vehicles. The switch lever 4 of a rheostat 3 arranged in the circuit of the motor 1 supplied with current from a storage battery 2 is connected by a rod 5 to the piston of a dash-pot 7, which is fitted with three escape valves 8, 12, 16. The valve 8 is normally kept open, the amount of opening being adjustable by means of a nut 9 screwing upon the valve stem and resting upon a bracket 11. The valve 12, normally maintained open by a spring 13, is secured to the core 14 of a solenoid 15 in the motor circuit, so that, on the current approaching a dangerous valve, the core 14 is pulled downwards, thereby closing the valve and retarding the movement of the switch lever. The valve 16, normally closed by a compression spring 17, may be opened for the purpose of allowing a rapid movement of the switch lever by means of a solenoid 18 in the circuit of a battery 20 controlled by a push-button 21 situated near the foot of the operator. In order to prevent switching-on of the current when the brakes are applied, the battery circuit 20 is broken by the removal of a bridging-contact 23 on the brake lever from contacts 22, and at the same time a bell-crank lever 26 attached to the brake rod 25 closes the valve 8.

Title: Improved Process of and Apparatus for Producing Gas from Pulverulent Fuel.
Inventor: MARCONNET GEORGES
Filed: 1905-01-26
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 1587. Marconnet, G. Feb. 1, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Producer gas.-In a process of and apparatus for producing gas from pulverulent fuel, the latter is fed into a hopper a and fal!s down a vertical conduit b. A hinged flap d causes the fuel to fall in a thin sheet past the opening c of a conduit r leading to the producer. The latter consists of a vertical fall tube e between two chambers o, p, with which it communicates by orifices 3. Gas is supplied to the chamber o, and the jets passing through the orifices arc ignited by a suitable gas supply or by carburetted air, the air for combustion entering the chamber p through a pipe y. The fuel is thus distilled and burnt as it passes down the tube e, the cinders falling into a chamber q, and the gas passing through a conduit z to the motor or other apparatus of utilization. The suction produced by the consumption of gas by the motor draws air through an opening g into the conduit band through the conduit r, carrying with it part cf the fuel falling through the conduit b. The opening c is regulated by a flap m to vary the air pressure so that the quantity of fuel drawn into the producer generates just sufficient gas for the motor. A coil may be located in one or other of the chambers o, p, and deliver steam into the fall tubo e. The gas feeding the burners is drawn from the conduit z by an exhauster v. The surplus fuel falls on to a heap j and is returned to the hopper. The producer is surrounded by an outer jacket 5 containing non-conducting material, and is also provided with a sight tube, the end of which is closed by a mica or other plate.

When it is played on a dining-table, the table is covered with a cloth, which is kept taut by means of strips l, Fig. 1, of wood forming the boundaries of the table m. These strips are secured to the table by means of wooden clamps k and wedges n, and they are provided with elastic cushions secured by means of rubber solution. , When a billiard table is used, the wooden strips may be used to cover the cushions and pockets of the table. To prevent displacement of the hoops c, Fig. 2, when struck, they are made of a heavy metal; and are cast integral with or leaded into sockets of lead d<1>, the feet of which are covered with rubber or emery or other cloth a. The arches of the hoops are provided with cork cushions d for receiving pins e carrying flags, in order to mark the progress of the game. The pillars, which have to be struck by the balls after passing through the hoops, take the form of a model lighthouse and Irish roundtower, respectively, and each is marked with coloured bands to indicate the order of play. The hoops and pillars are provided with horizontal rings or collars of rubber b, against which the balls can strike and rebound.
