Abstract: 6392. Davies, C. F. Lan-. March 14. Shutters with pivoting blades.-In a symmetrical two-leaved shutter, the leaves are curved at the edges that extend across the aperture to the shape of an elongated S. The radius of the curves is equal to the radius of the aperture, so that at open aperture part of the edge of each leaf coincides with the edge of the aperture. Modifications are described in which the leaves reciprocate during an exposure and in which they move continuously. The casing of the shutter may be circular, square, or rectangular. Fig. 8 illustrates one modification having a circular casing. The pivots A', A<2> of the blades are equidistant from the centre at a distance equal to or greater than the radius of the exposure aperture. The blades are actuated by a ring R, which is slotted at E<1>, E<2> to engage the pins B<1>, B<2> on the blades, and is itself operated by any suitable means. The blades may be formed with an extended wing D T, Fig. 6, in order to prevent the edges of the leaves from catching in closing. Other modifications are described having square and rectangular casings. Fig. 10 shows a modification in which the blades a, b rotate continuously for an exposure. The blades are pivoted at B1, B2, and the boundaries B0 C1 B1 D1 B00 and B0 C2 B2 D2 B00 are composed of arcs of radius equal to C B1. In a modification shown in Fig. 13, the leaves a, b are pivoted at A1, A2 respectively. and the arcs B1 C1, B1 D1, B2 C2, B2 D, are longer than the corresponding arcs in Fig. 10. The construction for obtaining the form of the leaves is described.

Abstract: 27,459. Jones, A. B., and Jones, C. L. Dec. 7. Variable-speed chain gearing.-In change-speed gearing, particularly for use on motor-vehicles, the driving-shaft 4 is surrounded by shafts 6, 6<Î> arranged on a circle and mounted in a rotatable casing 2. The shafts 6 are driven from the shaft 4 by a train of chain gearing, the reverse shaft 6x being driven from one of the shafts 6 by toothed gearing. By means of a cord 15, the casing 2 can be rotated so as to bring any one of the countershafts into line with the driven shaft 11, each of the countershafts being provided with a clutch member 14 adapted to be engaged by a member 13 on the shaft 11.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Score Recorders and the like for Games.
Inventor: OMMUNDSEN HARCOURT
IPC: A63F1/18
Filed: 1912-01-05
Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 461. Ommundsen, H. Jan. 5. Scoring and marking apparatus.-Relates to a scoring-device, mainly intended for use in the game of ' bridge,' and of the type which indicates the algebraic sum of the scores. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a chain C, passing round rollers C<1> beneath a plate A, is fitted with two projecting pins C<2>, C<3> adapted to engage pointers D<1> which slide in slots A<1>, A<2> and are attached to springs tending to draw them downwards to the zero of a central scale B, B'. Two other pointers E, L<1> slide in the slots A<1>, A<2> and are constructed so as to grip the chain C when they are seized by finger and thumb to move them up the scale. To register a score, the appropriate pointer E or E<1> is gripped and moved up to the required number. This action moves the chain C by an equal amount, and hence also the pointer D' which is not at zero, thus adding or subtracting the score according to whether the pointer E, E<1>, which is moved, is in the same slot as the pointer D<1> or not. The difference between the scores is thus indicated, and also, finally, which of the players has won. The points in each game are scored on slides F<6>, F<7>. The end of a game is indicated by one of the slides F<6>, F<7> striking one of two auxiliary slides G<2>, G<3> and exposing a number G<1>. In a modification, Figs. 4 and 5, a numbered disk L' is fixed to a spindle L<1> to which a knob L<2> and a spring M<2> having sharp points M<1> are also fixed. Loose on the spindle L<1> is a numbered disk L upon which a spring 0 presses. To register a score, the knob L<2> is pressed down, so as to allow the points M' to rise and engage the loose disk L, and turned till the desired number on the disk L<3> is against the appropriate arrow P, P<1>. The score appears at one of the openings A<3>, A<4>. The knob L<3> is then allowed to rise so as to disengage the points M<1>, and on being released entirely, the disk L<3> is brought back to zero by a spring L<4> acting on an arm L<5> fast on the spindle L<1>.

Abstract: 17,926. Paul, A. F. Aug. 2. Printing-apparatus combined with fare-checking apparatus; inking and counting apparatus. -A machine for printing and issuing tickets for rail and like services where the route is divided into penny &c. stages is constructed with a number of printing-mechanisms for printing tickets of successive increasing values, and, with a slidable ticket-holder which is moved on at the end of each section of a journey, the arrangement being such that the tickets of one colour are available to the same stage of the journey. As shown, four sets of tickets 5 are mounted in a carriage 2, which can move over a guide, preferably a dovetail 7, on a fixed part of the apparatus 1 in which the printing-stamps are mounted. Four similar printing-devices are used for printing values of one penny, twopence, threepence, and fourpence, and in the initial position, shown in Fig. 3, each ticket can be printed on. The slide 2 is held in correct position by a spring-pressed bolt 8 engaging a hole 8' in the fixed part of the machine. When the car has passed the first stage, the carriage 2 is moved so as to bring the tickets which were below the fourpence printing-device below the threepence-device, and the fourpence-device has no tickets below it. Each stamp comprises a head 15 mounted on a spring-raised plunger 10 fitted with a collar 16, which normally keeps a pad 20 carried by a pivoted tumbler 19 in contact with the printing-surface. This pad is moved away on the descent of the plunger, and the registering-device 12 is actuated therefrom via links 21, 22. On the return journey, the carriage 2 is removed from its casing and turned end to end. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 11,156/12.
