Title: Improvements in Targets for use in Air-rifle and other Shooting Practice.
Inventor: JEFFRIES LINCOLN
Filed: 1908-11-05
Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 23,640. Jeffries, L. Nov. 5. Targets.-Relates to targets of the type in which a spring plunger behind a bull's-eye aperture in the target plate actuates or releases striker mechanism for sounding a bell when a bull's-eye is scored. A shot, passing through the aperture a<1> in the targets a, strikes a spring plunger c, which operates, through a pin-andslot connexion, a pivoted detent d and disengages it from a notch or projection i on a pivoted spring-actuated arm e carrying a spring-mounted hammer e<2>. The gong g is carried on an arm g<1>, and is cushioned by a spring. The mechanism is reset by a finger-piece e<3> on the arm e, which carries an indicator m. A set-screw j is adjusted to alter the sensitiveness of engagement of the detent. The whole mechanism is carried by a bracket b<1>, secured to the back of the target plate. According to the Provisional Specification the detent may be pivoted at its lower end to the bracket.

Granted: 1910-02-03
Abstract: 10,136. Enderby, G., and Johnson, H. April 29. [Cognate Application, 17,498/09.] Two - stroke - cycle engines. - Tandem charging p u m p s, e a c h of greater capacity than the working cylinders, deliver explosive mixture to single or double acting twostroke - cycle engines through hollow piston-rods working in sleeves w h i c hare sufficiently long to prevent the piston-rod rings from entering the cylinders. The pistons with their rods control the distribution, and the incoming combustible mixture facilitates the expulsion of the exhaust gases. In the engine shown in Fig. 2, both the pumps b and the cylinder a are double-acting, the top side of the pump delivering charges to the bottom of working cylinders through ports a<2>, d' while the bottom side of the pump charges the top end of the cylinder through ports d'. Common exhaust ports are provided at a<3> and a common pump inlet port at b<3>. A modified single-acting engine is described in which the bottom face of the pump piston charges the upper end of the working cylinder through ports, in a hollow piston-rod, which coincide with others in a depending sleeve similar to that shown at d, Fig. 2.

Title: Improvements in Dynamo Electric Machinery.
Inventor: MIDGLEY ALBERT HENRY
IPC: H02K23/02
Filed: 1909-07-14
Granted: 1910-10-14
Abstract: 16,447. Midgley, A. H., and Vandervell, C. A. July 14. Exciting.-Consists in a direct-current dynamo, especially suitable for train-lighting and giving a constant output at varying speeds in either direction of rotation. The armature shown is of the chord-wound type described in Specification 21,938/08, the s h o r t - circuited coils d being indicated in heavy lines in Fig. 2, but a diametrical drum or ring winding may also be used. The field-magnet e has wound poles f, with shunt or separate excitation, the normal flux of which, shown in light dotted lines i in Fig. 3, is distorted by the local currents in the short-circuited armature coils so as to pass through unwound poles g, as shown in heavy dotted lines k. The distorted flux generates the working current in the armature. As the load increases, the armature reaction weakens the flux of the poles f, whereby the currents in the short-circuited coils are weakened, and the output is automatically kept practically constant. The poles f may carry series turns to give a modified characteristic. The Provisional Specification states that the brushes may be broad enough to short-circuit several coils, and that the machine will run as a motor giving constant speed when supplied with variable voltage.

Abstract: 2505. Hearson, T. A., [Ridd Milking Machine Co.]. Feb. 1. Spring gears operating m both directions.- The pulsator of a milking-machine communicates with the vacuum supply by the pipe 24 which is connected by means of a slide valve 25 alternately with the chambers 16, 17 by ports 22, 23, the chambers being similarly opened alternately to the atmosphere through the valve cylinder 21. The chambers 16, 17 are connected to the teat-cups, and by pipes 19, 20 to the ends of a cylinder 14, in which works a double piston 28. From this piston, the slide 25 is operated by means of an arm 29 projecting laterally through a slot and moving a sliding plate 30 which has at each end a projection bent round to enter the cylinder 21. The plate 30 is preferably moved suddenly by mounting a roller detent 34 on a pin 35, to engage the end of the rod 29 which is then made flexible consisting of a coiled spring. The speed of the pulsations is adjusted by moving the detent 34 along the pin 35, and by screws 36 which close the pipes 19, 20. Compressed air may be employed instead of a vacuum.

Abstract: 9433. Mullineux, J. April 19. Scoring and marking apparatus.-Relates to a golf or other scoring device especially suitable for attachment to the handle or mouth of a golf bag, and the invention comprises a series of co-axial number-disks for indicating the aggregate score and the score at each hole. The disk for the latter score may be set back to zero without influencing the total-score disks, and is kept in contact with the total-score disks by means of a spring. The attachment to the bag is made by means of a spring clip V and screw U. The scoring-device comprises a pair of numbered disks A<1>, A<2> for indicating the aggregate score, and a co-axial disk A for indicating the score for the hole being played. Each stroke is recorded by pressing down a lever I connected to the disks A, A<1> by pawls K and suitable ratchet-wheels. The wheel A is coupled to the aggregate wheels by a toothed clutch D kept in engagement by a spring H, and moves with the aggregate wheels when a score is being registered. The wheel A is returned to zero independently of the aggregate disks, after the completion of each hole by pulling out and rotating a knob G. The lever I may be replaced by a milled wheel. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 15,197/89 and 18,209/08.
