[Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Fortune - telling apparatus and games of chance.-An appliance for use as an oracle comprises a box provided with receptacles in the lid for question cards carrying small magnets, which control the setting of answer disks contained in the box, the answer being shown beneath a window in a plate covering the body of the box. Two cards are used to ask each question; one card determines which segment of an answer disk C<1>, Fig. 3, containing series of numbers is brought beneath the window, and the other card determines which segment of a slotted disk C is similarly positioned to cut off the numbers not required. The number shown at the window refers to numbered answers contained in a book. The element of chance is introduced by making both sides of the cards exactly the same, so that, since two cards are used for a question, four different replies may be obtained. The disks C, C<1> are carried by crowns E, E<1>, Fig. 4, revolving on fixed rods A<111>, A<1111>, upon the upper ends of which are mounted magnets R, R<1> provided with crossstrips S, S<1> engaged by regulators D, D' attached to a spring-returned bar F. The crowns E, E<1> are attached to gear-wheels G, G<1> engaging racks on segments I, I<1> pivoted to the bar F and provided with depending arms P, P<1>. When the box is closed, the bar F is depressed, carrying down with it the regulators D, D' and crowns E, E<1> thus leaving the magnets R, R<1> free to set themselves parallel to the magnets in the question cards. During this depression, the disks C, C<1> are revolved through the turning of the segments I, I<1> brought about by the engagement of the arms P, P<1> with the bottom of the box. Clock-work mechanism set in motion by the closing of the box then releases the bar F, whereupon the regulators D, D<1> engage the strips S, S' on the magnets R, R<1>, and the disks C, C' are rotated backwards until stops on the crowns E, E<1> engage the strips S, S', in which position the correct answer is shown at the window. The clock-work then releases a catch, and the lid is opened by springs f, f<1>.

Granted: 1915-06-14
Abstract: 5461. Asbury, D. F. June 13, 1914. Ordnance brecch mechanism.-Relates to the power - operated screw type, and consists in the method by which power applied not only serves to move the breech - screw carrier from the open to the closed position, but with sufficient momentum to rotate the screw into the fully locked position. The invention is shown applied to pressure-fluid operated means for closing the breech described in Specification 14,301/14. In this arrangement, to close the breech, a piston 48, the rod of which is hinged to the carrier 3, is moved to the left within a cylinder 12 hinged to the gun, by compressed air admitted by a pipe 24. This movement of the piston is cushioned by the escape of air through passages 14, 16, but the momentum stored in the carrier is sufficient to cause the rotation of the breechscrew 2 for locking, brought about by the contact of a roller 55 on the breech-screw with a fixed cam 54.
