Abstract: 9943. Leusden, F. Pels-. April 28. Eyeglasses.-Pince-nez eyeglasses have the plaquets 7<a> springily attached directly or indirectly to the mounts and adapted, when operated by one hand by means of the finger-grips 13, 7, Fig. 7, to turn about axes eccentric to the pivots 11 of the grips, which are perpendicular to the plane of the lenses. The plaquets, Fig. 1, are bent at 10 and turned inwards and flattened so as to form surfaces 9 secured to the lugs 6. In this form, the plaquets pivot about their ends 10, but in a modification, as they are separate from the finger-grips, they are secured to lugs on the lens-rims. If the upper ends of the finger-grips are made springy they can be secured to the plaquets, otherwise, as the plaquets turn about eccentric axes, the necessary play between them is rendered possible by some such connexion as the pin-and-slot connexion shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 7 shows a spring 12 with a lug support 14 capable of sliding on the lens, this spring helping to keep the plaquet on the nose.

Abstract: 6737. DamÚ, F. March 17. Teaching gunnery practice.-Relates to apparatus for practising shooting at moving objects without actual firing, and consists in mounting the moving target at the side of the gun, the line of sight being suitably deflected by optical means, and in so connecting it to the gun that by the movements of the gun the target is caused to appear in the line of sight. The target 18 is mounted on a pivoted frame carried by a spring-controlled slide 15 mounted within a second slide 14. The frame is swung up and down by a pin-wheel 21 driven by a motor 22 and is moved horizontally by a cord 23 wound round a drum connected to the pin wheel by a ratchet and pawl device, shown in Fig. 6, so arranged that, at every revolution, the drum is released, to allow the frame to be drawn back by a spring 14', by the pawl 29 striking a fixed stud 30. The target is observed through a hole 7, Fig. 2, in the side of the gun just in front of the trunnion, hence the up and down movements of the target are directly followed by raising and lowering the gun. To enable the lateral movements of the target to be followed, a ratchet slide 31, Fig. 8, not shown in Figs. 1 and 3, is mounted by inclined slots on the slide 14 and is connected by a cord 24 to a fixed drum 2 so that, as the gun mounting 1 is swung round, the cord 24 is wound on the drum and the ratchet slide is drawn down into engagement with a stud 34 on the slide 15 which thereby, together with the target and target-moving apparatus, is moved to bring the target opposite the sight-hole 7. An indicating - needle 9 is arranged to pierce a card 19 arranged on the target frame to record the aim. The apparatus can be combined with coin-freed apparatus.
