Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 13,801. Cartland, G. H., and Esson, D. D. June 11. Bowling-machines.-In a throwing or bowling device, the bowling-arm D is attached to a toothed segment C, which is rigidly connected to a quadrant H<1> and pivoted on a pin C<1> in a fixed bracket B. The whole is supported on telescopic or other legs A. The bowling-arm D is pulled back against the resistance of an adjustable spring or springs G, into the position shown in Fig. 1, by means of a bent hand-lever K and pawl K<2> which engages the teeth of the segment C. A pawl b<1> on the bracket B retains the arm until the operator by returning the hand-lever K brings the rear of the pawl K<2> under a projection on the pawl b<1> and raises the same out of engagement with the teeth. The arm is arrested and the point of delivery of the ball determined by means of a pin M, which may be placed in any of the holes b<5> and is situated in the path of a spring stop on the toothed segment. In a modified arrangement, the shock of the bowling-arm is absorbed by the main spring G. The ball-holding cup E is provided with a tubular spindle mounted in a casing N and, during, and owing to, the forward swing of the arm D, the cup is rotated by means of a band O, O<1>, O<3> yieldingly attached to fixed arms on the bracket B. The same arms retain the ends of a band P, which similarly rotates a roller e<1> supporting the ball. The ball may thus be given a rotation about two axes at right-angles. The velocity of the ball may be regulated by means of a screw tightening-device J attached to the spring G. A velocimeter T on the arm D and a counter U operated by the pawl b<1> record the velocity of the ball and the number of balls delivered respectively. A suitable level V is fitted to the top of the apparatus. In a modification, the cords 0, P are dispensed with and the extremity of the spindle carrying the cup E is fitted with a fan which is rotated bv the movement of the arm through the air. The fan rotates the cup E and roller e<1> by means of gearing. The angle of the fan blades may be adjusted to alter the direction of rotation.

Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 18,495. Haeghen, G., Van der. Aug. 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Breech actions, revolving-chamber.-Consists in constructing a recoil-operated revolver in such a manner that, when the weapon is discharged, only the cylinder recoils, and not the barrel also, as in previous types. The cartridges are supported at the back by an abutment 3 carried by the revolving cylinder and moving with it. The firing-mechanism, which may be of any of the types usually adopted in automatic pistols, is lodged either in the butt or in a piece 6 carried by the recoiling abutment 3. Rotation of the cylinder is caused during its to-and-fro movement by any suitable means, such as spiral grooves, or a spring pawl 9. When the cylinder is in its forward position, the mouth of the chamber fits over the rear end of the barrel and thus makes a gas-tight joint. The Specification, in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a modification in which, after the firing of a shot, the revolving cylinder is held in its rearmost position until the trigger is pulled for the next shot, the forward movement of the cylinder operating the percussion mechanism. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 27,766. Pearson, A. C. Nov. 29. Body motion and weight of rider, propelling by.-A toy horse is mounted upon a wheeled carriage of such a character that downward movement of the horse results either in an extension or shortening of the wheel base in a forward direction, and a rising movement produces either a shortening or lengthening of the wheel base to its original length, also in a forward direction. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the horse is hinged upon the axle of the single rear wheel f and supported at the front by two wheels g which are mounted upon a carriage comprising a transverse member h with brackets which constitute foot - rests. The member h carries two inclined rods k which slide through a bar c connected to the frame b and to the tops of the rods k by springs n. When the weight of the rider is thrown upon the horse, this hinges about the rear wheel f, which is provided with a free - wheel clutch, and, as the horse descends, the front wheels are moved forward. If the weight be transferred to the foot-rests j, the horse rises under the action of the springs, and the weight upon the front wheels, or, in some cases a free-wheel clutch, prevents their rotation so that the rear wheel moves forward.
