Title: Improvements in Mechanical Shooting Ranges.
Inventor: ELL WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 29,524. Ell, W. H. Dec. 31. Toy targets; toy shooting-galleries.-Relates to targets applicable for use with saloon rifles, or with shooting-ranges of the type described in Specification No. 4469, A.D. 1904. Figs. 3 and 4 show an arrangement for a combination with a coin-freed machine, in which the coin is returned after a predetermined number of hits have been made. When the figure-head b, Fig. 3, is struck, it revolves on the pivot b<1> against the action of the spring c, and thus the flattened portion a<1> of the disc b<2> is brought against the rod d, allowing the latter to rise by the action of the spring e' and to keep the figure in its horizontal position. At the same time, the pawl f on the bar e, which is pivoted at e<1>, forces the wheel g<1> one division forward by means of the pins g. The arbor g<2> is also turned, and thereby a chain is wound up. The chain operates a bell-crank lever fixed to a rod, which is pulled to bring up the figures again to their vertical position. The wheel g<1> has as many pins as there are figures to be struck, and, when the arbor g is turned round the corresponding amount, the unflattened portion of a partly-flattened disc k, fixed to the arbor, is brought against one end of a bell-crank lever and forces it upwards. A rod, fixed to the other end, is thrown back, and pushes one part of a pivoted plate on which the coin rests, thereby releasing the coin so that it is returned. In another arrangement, the figure, when struck, carries forward with it one end of the bar o, Fig. 4, and the tooth o' is released from the projection p. A spring then acts on the bar o, pulling it downwards with a weight attached to it. When all the weights attached to the bars have fallen on to one end of a lever, which has a heavy weight at the other end, the heavy weight is overbalanced, and a system of levers serves as before to act on the coin-returning mechanism. Another modification has each rod, supporting a figure-head, made in two parts, the upper part when struck allowing the lower part to rise under the action of a spring and to pull with it one end of a bell-crank lever. This operates a hooked rod, which draws forward a plate kept in position by a spring. By depression of a platform pivoted to the plate, the whole can be returned to the former position.

Angle-pieces dc.; stopping tubes.-In a methol of attaching tubes to other tubes or fittings, a dished metal washer 1 of the required shape, formed with a central hole and serrated edges 3, is inserted in the end of the tube and flattened and expanded by tightening up a screw and nut, as in Fig. 2, or otherwise. In a modified form, Fig. 9, the washer 17 is made deeper and a screw-threaded bolt, or a tapering pommel 16 with a central tappe hole, is forced in. In connecting the end of one tube to the side of another at right-angles, the stem 4 passes through holes in the cross-tube and has a knob screwed on to it. When the .tubes are square, turning is prevented by a washer 13, formed with projections 15, which is inserted between the washer 1 and the cross-tube, the projections 15 being pressed into the face of the crosstube on tightening up. In the case of closejointed tubes, an external inexpansible ferrule is applied to the end of the tube. The Provisional Specification describes also the use of one or more serrated washers in conjunction with plain washers.
