Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 27,340. Fielding, J. Nov. 24. Boat-raising gear. - Comprises tensioning- apparatus for boat-raising gear. The hoisting- rope 2 passes from the winding-drum 1 round pulleys 3, 4, 5 to the boat. The pulley 4 is carried by an hydraulic ram 7 working in a cylinder which communicates through a spring - pressed valve 9 with a reservoir 12, the pressure in which is insufficient to cause the ram to raise the boat. When the boat is waterborne, the valve is held open by means of a pedal 11, and the ram moves in and out as the load falls and rises so as to keep the hoisting- rope taut. When the boat is to be lifted the pedal is released and the valve closes, so that the ram is retained in position and the winding- drum can at once start hoisting. In a modification, the valve 9 is connected to a constantpressure supply-pipe provided with an escapevalve for the water forced out from the cylinder when the ram moves in.

If a penny or two halfpennies have been inserted, both of the rack-bars 6 have been tilted during the forward movement so 'as to bring projections 10 into engagement with projections 15 on members 14 working in guides 13, the consequent movement of the members 14 rocking cams 16, which operate a slide 21 to withdraw a shutter 33 from in front of the letter slot C through a lever 25 and linkwork 28. The operator next inserts the letter in the slot, thereby pressing back pins 38 on a lever 36 and rocking that lever about its pivot 37 so as to remove a blocking arm 39 from in front of one of the projections 35 on the slide 34. During the further rotation of the handle d by the operator, the slide 34 moves forward with the slide q so as to project spring buffers 41 through apertures in the wall t into engagement with the letter, and simultaneously the cams 16 operate plungers 17 to project the stamps 18 through apertures in the wall u on to. the letter. If only one halfpenny has been inserted, only one of the rack-levers 6 is tilted, and consequently only one cam 16 and one stamp 18 is operated. Just prior to the operation of the stamps, an inking-roller 2 and distributing-roller 3 carried by a frame z are moved over the surface of the stamps, the frame z having a pin-and-slot connexion with. a bellcrank lever b, a pin w on which -works in a slotted link m connected to one of the arms g. Coin action, mechanical-connexion and multiple-coin.-A penny inserted in a shoot 45 strikes the bevelled extremity 49, Fig. 5, of a pivoted deflector 48 and is directed into a shoot 46, Fig. 2, from which it passes into a shoot 44 in which position it rests on both rack-bars 6. A halfpenny is held away from the bevelled extremity 49 by means of a spring 53, and passes by a shoot 47 into a shoot 42 in which position it rests on one of the rack - bars. During the forward movement of the slide q, cams s engage the upper edges of the coins and tilt the rack-bars.

Projectile fuses.-Relates to combined time and percussion fuses, for combined shrapnel and high explosive shells, provided with a 'change-over' ring which enables the fuses to be connected either to the shrapnel or the common shell part. According to this invention, the change-over ring g, which has a single flash passage p, is coupled by an external claw k or an internal tube to the time ring h, which remains stationary when the timing of the fuse is adjusted, so that when the change-over ring g is moved from register with the flash passage c for the high explosive f to register with the flash passage b for the shrapnel charge, or vice versa, the whole set of rings move together and the time setting of the fuse is not interfered with. If there are three time rings, the two adjustable ones m, i are coupled together by an internal tube n or by an external claw.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Indicating the Level of Liquids in Tanks and the like.
Inventor: AUKEN CLARENCE EUGENE VAN

Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 27,383. Auken, C. E. van. Dec. 6. Indicators actuated by pressure of head of liquid. - Apparatus for indicating the proportion of a tank filled with liquid by means of a gauge glass or the like operated by the pressure of air in a conduit connecting the glass and the tank is so arranged that the indications are not seriously disturbed when the apparatus is tilted and the apparatus is easily adjustable for tanks of different depths. The apparatus is especially applicable for showing the amount of liquid in petrol tanks for motor cars. The gauge glass 3, Fig. 3, is held in a casting 5 and is fitted at the lower end with a tube 17 dipping into the middle of a reservoir 18 attached to the casting. The air space of the reservoir 18 is closed except for a conduit 23 which passes to the tank. The conduit 23 may pass through the dash board of the motor and below the level of the liquid in the tank as may be convenient. The conduit 23 passes into the tank 30, Fig. 6, through the centre of the top thereof and passes down through the centre of the liquid. As the centres of the surfaces of the liquids in the tank 30 and reservoir 18 are not altered when the apparatus is tilted, the readings of the gauge are not affected. The portion of the conduit 23 inside the tank 20 consists of two parts, one, above the point 33<1>, is of such volume that, when the tank 30 is full, the liquid in the gauge glass 3 is at the top of the glass. The other portion of the conduit, below the point 33<1>, is of the same volume as the gauge glass and is helical, so that it can be pulled out to fit the depth of the tank 30 without changing its volume. The gauge glass 3 may be replaced by a bellshaped float 55 as shown in Fig. 10. The float 55 may operate an indicator 57 which is controlled by a spring 62 acting on a roller 61 attached to the indicator. The force of the control can be regulated by raising and lowering the spring 62 by means of a screw 63.

Abstract: 61. Weiss, F. Jan. 1. Flanging.-The inwardly-directed stiffening flanges of concave bodies or shells, such as the sides of cases, are strengthened by pressing or rolling the bodies in such a manner that the flange is thickened. A flat blank is first stamped into the form shown in Fig. 1, and the flange b is bent upwards and the wall pressed thinner at c, Fig. 3. The material pressed aside thickens the flange b and forms a ridge d, which is afterwards removed. In a modified process, a flat blank is acted on by a roller f, Fig. 5, the periphery of which is provided with an elevated portion h to form a thickened rim I. The blank is then clamped up into its final shape.
