Abstract: 27,719. Roland, J. Dec. 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Race games, mechanical.-Relates to a raceg a m e apparatus i n which model horses mounted on carriages are adapted to move along a track. The carriages run in separate compartments and a supplementary compartment is provided for an auxiliary carriage which during i t s passage operates mechanism for causing the track to oscillate about a central knifeedge bearing adjustable by means of levelling screws. The carriages are started along the track by pressing a button 132, Fig. 2, which by means of a lever 133 releases a bar 135 from engagement with the carriages which are then projected down the track by spring-pressed plungers. The depression of t h e button - lever 138 lowers the flag of a starting-figure 90 and the auxiliary carriage during its movement turns the figure towards the racing horses. The auxiliary carriage afterwards actuates a rod 81 and releases the starting end of the track from a support 82. The track tips and a compensating-roller 145 rolls into engagement with springs 148. A notch 144 retains the track until the horses arrive nearly at the finishing- end, whereupon the auxiliary carriage again actuates the rod 81 and the track is allowed to rock back to its initial position. A galloping movement is imparted to the horses by making one of the wheels of each carriage eccentric. The carriages are connected to ribbons wound upon co-axial disks 33, and after running along the track, the carriages are returned and the ribbons are rewound by turning a crank handle 39. The ribbon disks 33 are each connected bv a train of gearing to a cam acted on by an adjustable brake 46. A second set of brakes is pressed upon the sides of the ribbon disks 33 by means of a series of plungers which are received by irregular depressions formed in a series of rope disks 75 thereby varying the braking effect according to the depressions entered. The rope disks 75 are rotated by the operation of the handle 39 and the second set of brakes is placed in and out of action for resetting purposes by means of a hand-lever 79, t h e handle 39 being unclutched during the race by operating a handle 150. As the leading horses arrive at the finishing-point, they release number boards 111, Fig. 5, which are then drawn up behind a window 113 in the order of the arrival of the horses bv means of cords 118 passing around spring-operated pulleys 117.

Title: Improvements in Safety Devices for Submarine Mines.
Inventor: ELIA GIOVANNI EMANUELE
IPC: F42C14/04
Filed: 1913-01-16
Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 1333. Elia, G. E. Jan. 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Mines, marine.-Relates to a safety-device for the firing-lever of a submarine mine, the lever being of the type that is rotated, relatively to the mine, to liberate the firing - pin, and consists in holding the lever fixed, as regards rotation relatively to the mine, by means of a connexion sufficient to withstand the action of currents and explosion of adjacent mines, but insufficient to withstand shock due to contact with a passing ship. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a tube 16 is fixed to the mine casing a, and a rod 17 slides within the tube. Between a collar 19 on the rod and a partition 18 on the tube, a spring 20 is inserted which presses the rod 17 to the right to withdraw the end 23 from the collar u receiving the shackle s of the mooring-cable, and withdrawal fires the mine. The opposite end of the rod 17 comprises a head 24 normally in engagement with the head 25 of an oscillating lever 26, which is retained in the position shown in full lines in Fig. 2 by a safety-cable 35 to which is fixed a block 36 of sal-ammoniac, the block also engaging lugs 37 on the lever 26. An arm 31 at the outer end of the lever 26 supports a pallet 32, which is arranged to the left of the pivot 27 and balances, as regards weight and surface, the entire portion to the right of the pivot. A screen 33 protects the pallet 32 from vegetation &c., and the explosion of adjacent mines acts equally upon the pallet 32 and lever 26, hence rotation of the lever is not produced. A passing ship contacts with the lever 26 and rotates it to the position shown in dotted lines; the rod 17 then moves to the right and the collar u is free to move to fire the mine. The following modified forms are described: (1) The inner end of the lever 26 comprises a T-piece connected by shackles to the rod 17 so as to pull the rod to the right if the lever 26 rotates in either direction. (2) An extensible lever of known form is used; the soluble plug holds a locking-pin in a recess during launching, and a spring-pressed conicalnosed pin remains in a second concentric recess to prevent rotation due to currents &c. (3) The locking-pin is controlled by a cam having a recess at one part to free the pin when the cam is rotated by the contact of a passing ship with a wheel integral with the cam and having a toothed edge. (4) Pivoted arms at the end of a sleeve such as 16, Fig. 1, are arranged to draw the sleeve outwards, upon contact of the arms with a passing ship, so as to withdraw a nose on the sleeve from between two lugs on an arm extending from the mine casing. A soluble plug passes through the nose and lugs prior to the launching of the mine.

Abstract: 4024. Ellis, A. E. Feb. 17. Stropping-apparatus. - A stropping-machine for razors comprises a stationary frame 1 fixed to a support A and a movable frame 4 suspended from the stationary frame and guided thereby. The movable frame carries a shaft 10, on which is loosely mounted a leather-covered roller 11 having collars 13, 14 at its ends. A second shaft 15 carries a blade-holder 18 and has a pinion 20, fixed to it, and engaging an idle pinion 21, this idle pinion engaging a gear-wheel 23 having a split annular flange 24 adapted to be clamped, so as to contact frictionally with the collar 13, by a band 25 and screw 26, leather 27 being placed between the collar and the flange. A flexible strop is passed over the roller, and on being pulled to-and-fro actuates the roller to throw the blade b alternately to opposite sides, the movement being retarded, and frictional contact between the blade and the strop ensured, by means of a disk 29 loosely surrounding the shaft 10 and pressed against the face of the gear-wheel 23 by a bell-crank lever 31, 33 pivoted in the frame and actuated, on depression of the frame, by a yoke 34 supported on a spring 37. In order that the blade may be stropped by the roller instead of by a flexible strop, a strap is passed over a pulley 39 mounted on a shaft 38, thus driving the roller through gear-wheels 40, 41, 43; the clamping-band 25 is loosened. On the collar 14 are pivoted two links 44 having friction shoes 45 adapted to be engaged with the interior of a pulley-ring 46 by means of a bell-crank lever 49, 50 operated by a rod 51. A belt 55 passes round the pulley-ring and round a pulley 54 on the blade-holder shaft, and is engaged, to retard the movement of the stropper and the bladeholder, by arms 57 which are pressed inwards, on the movable frame being lowered, by projections 58 on this frame. A further means for bringing about the frictional contact between the blade and the stropper comprises a disk 70 mounted on an arm 67 and swung, on the operation of the device, into engagement with a disk 72 secured to the shaft 15; the disk 70 is rotated by gear-wheels 43, 71. Rollers 64 are held in contact with the strop to form guides and retainers therefor.
