Patent GB-191123743-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Breech Mechanism of Automatic Guns.
IPC: F41A5/32
Filed: 1911-10-26
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 23,743. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. Nov. 5, 1910, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to guns in which the breech is opened during run-out by a crank, operated by the angular displacement of a draw-bar sliding in a tube pivoted to the cradle, and in which a spring in the tube is stressed by the draw-bar during recoil, and consists in adapting this spring to close the breech. The invention also comprises the special details of construction set forth. The invention, as applied to wedge breech mechanism, is shown in elevation in Fig. 1 and in plan in Fig. 2. Within a hollow sleeve r, turning on a pin Z on the cradle slides a hollow draw-bar s, pivoted by the bolt b to the crank a of the breech-block. A rod p, adapted to slide in the draw-bar s, has a head g, between which and the end v of the sleeve r is a spring f<1>. A second spring f<2> lies between the shoulder y of the draw-bar s and the shoulder x of the rod p. As the barrel recoils, the bar s slides in the sleeve r and, through the rod p, compresses the spring f<1>. Spring pins d, Fig. 1, on the head g of the rod p are adapted to permit this to pass the curved guide-plates e during recoil, but to arrest its motion during run-out, thus causing the sleeve r to swing outwards, and, through the crank a, to retract the breech-block, which is retained in the open position by projections h on the ejector k. The shock of impact of the pins d on the stops e is lessened by the spring f<2>, the strength of which is so adjusted that it is not fully compressed until the crank a has been swung outwards to its fullest extent. The rod p then slides rearwardly relatively to the bar s and continues the compression of the spring f<2> until the rotation of the sleeve r swings the pins d clear of the guides e, and permits the spring f<2> to drive the rod p forward until its rear stop engages the shoulder y in the bar s. The introduction of a new cartridge releases the breech bolt from its catch h, and the spring f<1>, which is still compressed, rotates the crank a and closes the breech, returning all parts to their initial positions. The breech may be handoperated if the bolt b be released.

Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 24,752. Burgraff, L. Nov. 7. Tyres, details and arrangements in connexion with inflation of.-Comprises means for inflating the tyre of a motor-vehicle which may be used while the vehicle is in motion. An airpump driven by the engine or by foot supplies air to the wheels, the pipes being furnished with valves so that any one wheel may be cut out, with pressure gauges, and with a safety valve. Fig. 4 shows a method of inflating the tyre on a steering-wheel. The stub axle is bored out and threaded to receive a pipe 19 with an enlarged head 27 at the outer end. Surrounding this head is a bonnet formed by two members 21, 22, the member 22 having a neck 23 bearing on the pipe 19. A gland is fitted to keep the junction air-tight. A flexible pipe 9 leads to the pump, and a pipe 28 leads from the bonnet to the tyre. In a modified construction, the same device is adapted to a wheel secured to a live axle.

Abstract: 3845. Mumford, R. Feb. 15. Reciprocating sieves; sieves with compound motion.-Relates to a brush device for cleaning the sieves of flour-sifters or reciprocating sieves of the kind wherein the movement of the sieve causes a loose brush to travel automatically step-by-step round a channel such as d formed in a tray by a centrally-arranged partition e. The brush device a is of a rigid character, its rear corners a<3>, which are free from bristles or other flexible members, co-operating with the walls of the channel, whereby when a gyratory movement is given to the tray, it shifts from side to side, each of its rear corners acting alternately as a fulcrum. The frame tapers towards the front end, which is preferably weighted as at b, and curved. Bristles c are provided. In the case of a longitudinally reciprocating sieve, the brush device moves forward step-by-step, the end walls of the channel contacting with it and turning it round the corners. According to the Provisional Specification, the rear corners of the brush device may be provided with bristles.

Abstract: 16,001. Stobie, V. July 9. Cast-iron processes; modifying physical characters of metals.-The physical nature of pigiron is improved without altering the chemical composition, beyond liberating oxygen present in the bath, by subjecting it to the action of an iron-free or substantially iron-free slag in an electric furnace while carbon dioxide is made to agitate the bath from limestone added thereto. The slag used may consist of 60 per cent of lime, and 40 per cent of silica, and must be kept free from the oxide of iron which rises from the bath by additions of carbon, ferro-silicon, or other deoxidant. The metal may be subjected to a preliminary treatment with iron oxide to reduce the silicon, manganese, and phosphorus content.
