Granted: 1905-01-12
Abstract: 25,911. Jebsen, F. Nov. 28. Dynamos, driving. -A friction coupling for the driving and driven members a, d of dynamos and d other highspeed machinery consists of a yielding cup - shaped piece c formed with radial arms and either with or without slots. The piece c is preferably stamped from a single metal plate, and the arms may have a spiral form. Fig. 1 shows a form of coupling for the bowl or cage d of a hydro-extractor, a screw e on the top of the shaft a preventing the coupling from being lifted off. Should the driving- shaft stop suddenly, the driven member continues its movement until it is brought to rest by friction. Figs. 3 and 5 show modified forms of coupling for producing a firmer connection between the shaft a and driven member d. Alternatively, the coupling may be secured to the driven member instead of to the shaft, and its arms may be strengthened by giving them a U-shaped cross-section.

Granted: 1907-08-29
Abstract: 19,622. Milton, H. M. N. Sept. 3. Targets ; rifle ranges.- Two marksmen shoot in opposition at pivoted disappearing targets a, which are connected to shutters e at the firing- point so that, when one man hits a target a shutter is lowered across the line of fire of his opponent to prevent him from firing. Each man can lower his own target at will to prevent the opponent from firing at it, but his own shutter then prevents him from firing at the opponent's target. When a man raises his shutter to fire at his adversary's target, his own target is raised automatically into view. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, the target carrier a' is pivoted at b to an arm a<2>, which is mounted on a pivot b<1> and is raised into a vertical position by a weight or spring arm c when released. Cords d attached to the shutters pass round guide-pulleys through holes in the arms a<2> and are looped .on pins a<4> of the arms a<1>, as shown in Fig. 9. When a target is struck, the carrier a<1> turns on the pivot b and the pin a<4> is withdrawn from the loop of the cord, thus releasing the shutter. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 11, the forcing back of the target on a pivot a<7> of a bell-crank lever f completes an electric circuit through contacts l, a bell n, and an electro-magnet o which acts on a pivoted armature catch and releases the shutter e. The shutter is raised by a pull e<1> and remains up until the corresponding target is struck. The marksman, when firing, rests his elbow on a movable plate h connected by a bell-crank lever g and cord d to the bell-crank lever f. A weight a<6> maintains the targat in a vertical position and radius links j guide the plates h.
