Abstract: 2059. Holden, H. C. L., [Hill, H. W.]. Jan. 25. Scoring and marking.-Relates to a marker or scorer for the game of bridge. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a casing a has its top surface divided into two divisions for recording "honours" " and the "score" respectively. Each indicator consists of a series of three discs e, f, g, arranged so that the numbers thereon are exhibited through apertures i. The discs are moved by means of knobs j. The spindle of each disc carries a ratchet-wheel m, with which a pawl n engages so as to prevent backward movement. In order to return the discs to zero, the spindles &c. are connected by cords l<1> to spring barrels k, which are wound up as the discs are turned. The pawls can be simultaneously released by moving sliding plates, one of which is shown at o, Fig. 2, by means of knobs q, the plates carrying pins p engaging the pawls. When the pawls are released, the springs return the discs. In a modification, the numbers are marked on a series of rollers similar to those used in certain billiard markers, and the score is indicated by sliding pointers. Sliding pointers and a fixed set of numbers are used for indicating the hundreds of the " honours " score. In both forms, sliding pieces r actuated by knobs s can be pushed out to indicate the winner of the games. According to the Provisional Specification, the marker may be constructed for recording the scores of three games, of a rubber, and the totals.

The part of the shaft between the bearings is provided with multiple crossed screw-threads X, Y, with which detents C, D automatically engage and disengage. The detents are mounted on a travelling sleeve 5 connected to a crosshead 4 which is attached to the pump pistonrod. The sleeve 5 is slotted to receive the two sets of detents C, D for engaging with the threads X, Y, the detents being connected in pairs to levers E pivoted in standards e on the sleeve. The levers have dovetail extensions at each end which engage with shouldered spring-fingers 17 in their disengaged positions. The sleeves also carry supports 11 for sloping guide-channels 16, the lower central portion of which are spring-hinged. Springs 20 are pivoted to the frame bars 2<a> and engage with the upper surfaces of the guides 16 as the sleeve nears the end of its traverse. At the last moment, the springs clear the upper ends of the guides and fall upon and tilt the levers E, thus causing the sets of detents in use to be reversed. On the return motion, the springs pass below the guides until the ends are cleared, when the springs can again pass over the guides. In a modified form, pivoted tripping-levers take the place of the guides, the pressure of the springs moving over the pivoted levers causing the necessary changes.
