Abstract: 1605. Wilde, F. P. de. Jan. 20. Sleeve-links.-A substitute for ordinary sleevelinks which allows the cuff to be drawn upwards along the fore-arm without unfastening, as shown in Fig. 1, comprises a pair of arms 12, 13 to which the cuff-engaging parts 10 are attached, preferably by ball-and-socket joints, the arms being connected to a pair of superposed disks 19, 20, pivoted together, Fig. 2. These disks are connected by a spring (not shown), so arranged that the ends of the arms carrying the parts 10 are normally brought together. The upper disk is provided with a lever-clip 40, two forms of which are described, for attachment to the shirt-sleeve. One of the arms 12 may be detachable from its disk, so that another arm, carrying a head 10 of different design, can be substituted. In a modification, instead of flanged disks with central depressions, as shown in Fig. 2, flat plates are employed. The arms 12, 13 are bowed in this case, and their points of attachment to the plates are such that these points are normally close together.

Granted: 1915-08-12
Abstract: 23,851. Howard, G. March 18, 1915. Tivoli billiards and the like.-Relates to means for releasing into play the ball or balls delivered by the coin-freed mechanism, and the means for operating the projecting-device in coin-freed game apparatus of the kind in which a spring-actuated projecting-device under the direct control of the player may be operated at any desired moment to strike the ball during its fall in a definite path and project it through an opening. A coin placed in the slot A, Fig. 1, delivers one or more balls through an orifice B to a catch C, which is moved by turning a handle D to release a ball, or more than one ball one at a time into play, the operation of the handle also moving a spring-controlled plunger E into position to be released by the player. A handle P operates a hammer Q to drive the ball along a track R, from which it falls through an orifice S out of play, unless the player, by pressing a knob T, can release the plunger E at the proper moment to strike the falling ball and drive it through the winning opening U. The handle D is connected to an arm M, Fig. II, carried by the catch C through a lever H, link J, and a spring-controlled lever L having a pin- and-slot connexion with the arm M. The lever H also moves a two-armed lever K to operate a sliding spring-pressed member N carrying the plunger E. The member N is held in retracted position by a trigger 0, which is released bv pressing the knob T. On passing through the orifice U. the ball releases a detent V from a catch V<1> to enable a lever V<2> to be moved against a spring by turning a handle V<3>, the lever V<2> carrying a projecting arm V<4> which, on the return of the lever, removes a check or other prize from the base of a receptacle W and delivers it to a tray W<1>.

Abstract: 7968. Avery, W. & T., and Brown, A. W. May 29. Gravity, adjusting centre of.-Relates to apparatus for standardizing the cylinders of rotary engines, more particularly o f t h e Gnome type, and comprises means for locating the centre of gravity of the cylinder, positioning the cylinder at a predetermined distance from a centre of oscillation, and afterwards testing its moment. The cylinder is placed on a mandrel 9, Fig. 1, forming part of the frame shown in Fig. 7, and is adjusted so as to balance about knife-edges 13. The frame is suspended from levers 20, Fig. 1, by means of a stirrup 17, and is counterbalanced by weights 21, thus leaving only the weight of the cylinder in excess. Knife-edges 23, attached to the stirrup 17 and collinear with the knife-edges 13, are adapted to rest upon the weigh-beam 4 during the testing operation. A trolly 27 carries the levers 20, so that the cylinder may be moved to the requisite distance from the fulcrum 3 of the weigh-beam, this distance being determined by the engagement of a pivoted stop 29 with the cylinder. During this movement, the knifeedges 23 are raised from the beam 4 by means of handles 30 connected to horizontal lifting- links 34. The inaccuracy in the weight of the cylinder is determined by means of a poise 6.
