Title: Improvements in Fuze Setters for Setting the Fuzes of Projectiles for Ordnance to the Range.
Inventor: SCOTT LOTHIAN KERR
IPC: F42C17/00
Filed: 1912-11-19
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 26,519. Scott, L. K. Nov. 19. Projectile fuses. - It is suggested that the time-fuse composition may in future be enclosed in an hermetically closed tube wound spirally round the projectile, so that it may be preserved from deterioration, and the invention consists in a fuse-setting apparatus intended to prick such fuse tube for the time desired. As shown, the apparatus comprises a socket A provided with a pawl V and a worm B and adjustable for the time required by the rotation of an arm A<1> over a disk C. The disk is graduated spirally, and the index E is guided by a spiral groove F and along the arm A<1>; and the zero is corrected by a rotation of the disk C provided with an index b relatively to the frame D provided with a scale S. Winged nuts G, G<1> serve to clamp these parts after they have been adjusted. A pricker N is carried by a body M which can slide up and down a socket L and is worked by a tooth M<1> in engagement with the worm B; the pricker itself is operated by a handle O. To set a fuse, the projectile is placed in the socket of the apparatus and rotated until stopped by the pawl V. The pricker N is then opposite the point of the fuse tube x<1> that corresponds to the setting of the apparatus. The handle O is then pressed down by hand and the pricker N punches the fuse tube at a position corresponding to the time desired.

Title: Improvements in Artificial Arms.
IPC: A61F2/58
Filed: 1912-12-10
Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 28,481. Carnes Artificial Limb Co., and Carnes, W. T. Dec. 10. Limbs, artificial.-In an artificial arm of the type described in Specification 17,540/11, the wrist-rotating gear is so constructed as to leave a passage for the finger-operating cords D, D<1>, the sliding bolt mechanism for locking the wrist is released by a separate cord secured to the shoulder harness, and the finger-operating gear allows the fingers to be fixed in any position in their range of movement. The forearm A is pivoted at a' to bars a fixed to the sleeve A'. One of the bars a has an extension a<2> to which is pivoted a link a<3> pivoted at the other end to the wrist-rotating gear, so that the bending of the elbow effects the turning of the wrist. The wrist-rotating mechanism comprises a cylindrical frame E with a projection E<1> on which is screwed a bevel-wheel F. On a projection F' of the wheel F is fixed a disk M connected by a flange m to the wrist member A<2>. The wheel F gears with a wheel H loosely mounted on a hollow shaft G. A disk G' on the shaft G is pivoted to the link a<3>, and carries an arm G<2> adapted to engage a notch in the wheel H, so that when the elbow is bent, the wheels H, F are rotated through the link a<3> and disk G<1>. A spring g inside the shaft G keeps the arm G<2> in engagement with the notch in the wheel H by pressing against a flanged rod g<1>, which contacts with the wall of the frame E. The arm G<2> and wheel H are disengaged by means of a stud J'' carried by a lever J pivoted on the outer face of the frame E and actuated by one end of a lever J<2>, of which the other end is joined to a cord D<2> from the shoulder harness. The lever J is held in the off position by a sliding bolt K, which is forced by a spring k<1> through corresponding holes in the frame E and lever J, and through one of a series of holes m' in the disk M, thus locking the wrist against rotation. The lever J is released to allow the arm G<2> and wheel H to engage again by means of a lever L. one end of which enters a slot k in the bolt K and forces a bolt back when the other end is actuated by the arm G<2> by an extreme bending of the elbow. The upper finger sections 5 are jointed to the hand by a pivot rod 0 and are recessed to receive levers O<1> mounted on the rod 0 and secured to the hand by a cross-rod O<2>, so that when the sections 5 are swung on the hand, the levers O<1> do not swing. In recesses in the lower sections 6 are mounted links P pivoted at one end to the sections 6 and at the other end to the levers O<1>, so that when the sections 5 are bent, the links P will cause the sections 6 to swing on their pivots p<2>. The fingers are operated by means of rods Q<2> pivoted to the fingers and to cranks Q' on a rock-shaft Q carrying a gear segment R in gear with a screw gear T. Cords D, D<1> from the shoulder harness are attached to the shaft of the wheel T, and are wound on it in opposite directions, so that a pull on one cord closes the fingers, and a pull on the other opens them.

Granted: 1915-02-25
Abstract: 9254.. Kilburn, B. E. D., [Packard Motor Car Co.]. April 14. Gear - cutting. - Toothed wheels are provided with curved generated teeth by a machine which is described with reference to 'bevel-wheels, and which is of the general type described in Specification 22,746/00 with reference to straight teeth. The blank 33, Fig. 1, is carried by an arbor angularly adjustable on a curved slide 21 operated by a worm 28 geared, as shown in Fig. 2, through a telescopic shaft 80 to the driving-shaft 67. The blank is indexed after each cut, and the worm 28 is geared to give a slow rolling motion, the wheel being finished, as to one side of its teeth, after a single roll in one direction. To machine the other side, the cutter is set over, and the wheel is adjusted relatively to the indexing- mechanism, an adjustably-mounted wheel in the train permitting this. A cone 36, of the same angle and vertex as the pitch cone of the blank, rolls without slipping, during the motion of the slide 21, as constrained by flexible bands 37. A flexible shaft 40 geared to the driving- shaft at 74 rotates a worm-wheel 38, Fig. 5, through a half-revolution for each complete reciprocation of the tool. Pins 41, 42 engage with grooves 44 and rotate a shaft 46 during the idle stroke only. The shaft 46 is changegeared to a shaft 50 geared to the masterwheel 54 on the blank arbor. A cam 56, Fig. 6, on the shaft 55, Figs. 5 and 6, controls a locking-lever engaging a notched disk 61 on the shaft 50. The tool slide is reciprocated by an adjustable crank 69 in ways on a base 62, angularly adjustable on the bed at 64 and clamped at 65. The tool-holder is clamped to the tilting tool-box between laterally adjustable plates 91, 92. The box is tilted to clear the cutter from the work on the return stroke, by a lever arm 103 carrying a roller 104 engaging a lever 106 operated by a cam-groove 109. The curved tooth is produced by traversing the box laterally on a slide 84 by a templet 102 reversible for the purpose of cutting the mating wheel. In a modification, the curve is produced by linking the slide to an adjustablypositioned radius-rod. The tool-release is effected, in this modification, by a finger engaged by a corresponding finger actuated by a series of bevel-geared splined shafts. In a further modification, one or more cutters may be mounted on a wheel or disk having its axis so disposed that the cutters, in traversing the periphery of the blank, move through a curved path. Tools; tool-holders.-The tool-holder 95 has its lower portion bent laterally to hold the tool at an angle as shown in Fig. 2, to facilitate clearance. In a modification, the tool is bent as shown in Fig. 11.
