Abstract: 26,915. Buffulini, V., and Rottenbacher, R. Dec. 1. Time checks and time registers. - Relates to a device for indicating and cashing the fees to be paid for the use of a billiard table, and comprises an arrangement whereby, upon the removal of the billiard balls from a receptacle, the indicating-hands are automatically coupled to, and driven by, clockwork until the amount indicated at any particular time is inserted into the cash-box and the balls are replaced in the receptacle. T h e balls normally rest on, and depress, spring- pressed plungers 28, but when the balls are removed, the plungers rise and allow a cylindrical casing 16 to be rotated by a weight 38. This rotation slides a clock-work mechanism 8 into frictional engagement with the arbors of two money-indicating hands 12, 13 and allows two spring-pressed and electrically-insulated slides 32 to obstruct the common exit G of two cam shoots. The two hands 12, 13 rotate over dials 9, 10 and touch successively studs 11 connected electrically with two series of electro-magnets 41 arranged near the two coin shoots. Each electro-magnet 41, when energized, draws back a projection 40 from obstructing the coin shoot. Electro-magnets 42, energized at the proper moment, returnthe obstructions. At the end of the game, the amount indicated on the dials is inserted in the coin slots, and the coins rest edge to edge on the first unretracted projection 40 in each shoot and touch contact-pieces 50,53. The operator then depresses a frame 43 by means of a press-button 44, thus connecting the contact-pieces 49 of the electro-magnets 41 and establishing a circuit through the coins and the magnets 41, resulting in the withdrawal of the obstructions 40. The coins fall on to the slides 32 and complete the circuit through an electro-magnet 24 which withdraws a pawl 23 from a ratchet-wheel 21 mounted on the spindle of the cylindrical casing 16, Fig. 1. The casing 16 may now be rotated to the open position shown, by means of a handle, and the balls may be replaced. The rotation allows the clockwork 8 to be withdrawn from the indicating- hands by means of a spring 15, and also draws back the slides 32 thereby dropping the coins into a compartment beneath. On replacing the balls, the plungers 28 lock the casing in the open position. The hands fall into the vertical position. shown, and the apparatus is in readiness for further use.

Abstract: 13,307. Stibbe, G. May 30. Circular machines; knitted fabrics.-An inturned welt or hem is formed on a circular knitting-machine having alternate frame and rib needles, by making a partial setting-up course on alternate frame needles 1, 3, 5, &c. and on the corresponding pairs a b, c d, e f, &c. of the rib needles, as shown in Fig. 1, then making a partial setting-up course on the alternate frame needles 2, 4, 6, &c. and on the corresponding pairs b c, d e, f g, &c. of the rib needles, as shown in Fig. 3, then putting ail the rib needles back out of action while a portion of fabric for the welt is knitted on the frame needles, and finally transferring the loops of the setting-on course from the rib needles to the frame needles and knitting a join'ngcourse. Each loop of the initial course is thus integrally united to a loop of the body web. The rib needles are carried by specially-shaped jacks 21 sliding in tricks in an auxiliary dial and having slots 24 engaging the edge of a disk 25, Fig. 14. The auxiliary dial is rigidly connected to the main dial by pins 64, Fig. 14, and a cap 53 having tricks 55 engaging corresponding tricks on the auxiliary dial; the relative position of the two dials may, however, be adjusted. The needle dial is suspended from a cross-bar on uprights 36 of a rising and falling frame, and the auxiliary dial is supported on a ring 52 on the same uprights. The rising and falling frame is reciprocated by a lever and cam which is rotated step by step by a ratchetwheel and pawl moved by a constantly-rotated cam. The dials are thus automatically moved out of the way when a welt is completed and returned to the lower position when another welt is to be made. The dials are driven in unison with the cylinder by two or more catches 59 pivoted to the auxiliary dial and engaging projections 60 on the cylinder. In order to avoid any obstacle, the catches 59 may be disengaged one by one from the projections 60 by fixed cams 64 engaging rollers 63 on the catches.

Figs. 1 and 8 show a plan and end elevation of the parts when the door is fully open. The step g is suspended on links h, j, the upper ends of the links j being fixed on a shaft d. Mounted on the shaft d is a forked lever k, which engages a pin m on a slide n carried in fixed guides o. A pin w on the slide n engages a slot v in a lever s, which is pivoted to the vehicle body at t and connected at its other end by a link q to the door. As the door is closed, the pin m first slides along the horizontal surface 2 of the lever k until it reaches a slot 4. The shaft d is then turned to bring the step close up beneath the floor, and the surface 3 of the lever k becomes horizontal. Further movement of the door causes the pin m to slide along the surface 3 without affecting the step. This action takes place in reverse order as the door is opened. Lost motion may also be provided for between the link q and lever s by a slot x, and the connexion may be made resilient. Stops 5, 6 may be provided to prevent further movement of the step beyond its out and in positions. The shaft d may be provided with Geneva movement instead of the lever k. The step g may be fixed to the arms j and the links h dispensed with, or the links h, j proportioned to effect a rotation of the step into a vertical or other position when not in use. The outer edge of the step is preferably slightly higher than the inner edge when in its operative position.
