Title: Improvements in Fire Arms.

Abstract: 15,753. Lisle, M. C., and Kipp, H. M. July 6. Breech actions, revolving-chamber.-Relates to revolvers of the type in which the cylinder is pushed into gas-tight connexion with the barrel by means of a wedge operated by the trigger and acting on the rear of the cylinder through a distance-piece. According to the present invention, the wedge is actuated by an intermediate lever which is itself operated by the trigger, and, when the cylinder is in the foremost position and prior to the release of the hammer, the mechanism is in a state of equilibrium. The invention further comprises a safety device and a firing-mechanism actuated by the intermediate lever and so arranged that the arm may be fired by a single pull of the trigger or by two consecutive pulls, the first one serving to cock the hammer. The intermediate lever 39, Fig. 1, is actuated by a cam-face 62 on the trigger 60 and moves the wedge 54 upwards by a cam-face 56. When the wedge is in the uppermost position, the straight lines joining the pivots of the intermediate lever 39 and the trigger 60 to the point of contact of the camface 56 are practically at right-angles, whereby there is no back pressure on the trigger when the revolver is fired. The wedge is retracted by a pin on the intermediate lever 39 fitting a slot 58 in the wedge. A sear 45, Fig. 1, pivoted to the intermediate lever 39, is in engagement with a bent 24 on the hammer 20 and has limited angular motion determined by faces 47, 48 so as to slip off the bent 24 before the completion of the pull on the trigger to permit the firing of the revolver by a single pull on the trigger. When it is desired only to cock the hammer by a first pull on the trigger, a thumbpiece 33 Figs. 1, 3, and 5, provided with a sear 35, is pressed into a bent in the hammer to retain it in the cocked position. A side lever 72, 74 is then turned to lock the intermediate lever 39 by engagement with a notch 44 thereon, and to release a bell-crank lever 66 which springs into a bevelled notch 63 on the trigger. When the trigger is pulled a second time, the bellcrank lever 66 bears against a pin 36 on the thumb-piece 33, pushes the sear 35 out of engagement with the hammer, and fires the revolver. The hammer may be held at "safe" by a lever 79, Fig. 7, having a C-shaped flange 81 adapted to engage with a pin 82 on the hammer. The lever 79 is locked in the safety position by a spring 83. The cylinder 4 is mounted on a laterally swinging bracket 6, and is rotated by means of a pawl 51 on the intermediate lever 39.

Abstract: 25,239. Becker, J. Nov. 9, 1908, [Convention date]. Milling - machines. - Frictional driving - means co-operate with frictionally-engaging elements so that power transmitted through one of the said elements tends to thrust it axially to maintain frictional engagement. The frictional driving-means shown consists of a belt 7 which passes from a driving- pulley 4, Fig. 1, over guide pulleys 8 to a pulley 9 on the tool spindle 5 of a milling-machine. The friction gearing comprises disks 15, Fig. 4, secured to the pulleys 8 and gripping between them a roller 18 splined upon a spindle 19 which may operate the work-table 6. The disks 15 are faced with annular or spiral sections 17 of leather &c. gripped between dovetailed annular &c. ribs 16, and the roller 18 may be moved across the disks to produce a variable speed. The pulleys 8 are tapered and are mounted on inclined studs 10 so that the two portions of the belt 7 tend to creep upon them outwardly from the spindle 19. The tensions of the belt portions then cause the disks 15 to be thrust inwards against the roller 18. Additional means, such as nuts 24, Fig. 4, and springs 23, may be employed for increasing the frictional engagement. The disks 15 may also be cupped as shown in Fig. 4.

Abstract: 16,652. Lanagan, H. J. July 12. Sliding and rocking seats.-A reclining chair has a sliding seat and a back adapted to assume any desired angle of inclination, and to return to its normal position gradually. To the seat-frame members 3, 5 are secured guide-bars 12, on which slide the bars 10 connected by cross-bars 11. Secured to the frame member 6, is the cylinder of an air-buffer, the piston-rod 15 of which engages with a pin 17 in the cross-bar 11. A coiled spring 19 is fastened to the frame at 18 and to the front cross-bar at 20. The back 8 is combined with the legs 2 by pintles 21 and bearings 22. Two arms 23, rigidly secured to the side members of the back, are connected with two links 24, pivotally connected at 25 to the slide bars. When the back is tilted, the links 24 move the sliding frame forward, its motion being limited by the cross - piece 4. When pressure is removed from the back, it assumes its normal position gradually on account of the air-buffer ; and the swinging movement of the back is further retarded by the frictional contact between the underside of the seat and the top of the slide bars 10.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Gyroscopic Devices, and Fire Control Apparatus, and Instruments for Determining Rate of Change of Bearing and Allowing for the Correction for Deflection.

Granted: 1911-07-21
Abstract: 17,291. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. July 21. [Cognate Application, 27,436/10.] Gyroscopic apparatus. - Means are provided for imparting precession to a gyroscope, so that, the rate of precession being varied until a telescope carried by the gyroscope is maintained on the target, a reading can be obtained of the rate of change of bearing, and an allowance made for the change of deflexion. Fig. 1 shows electrical means for accomplishing this object, comprising generally a bar 3, which by its rotation varies the resistance in circuit and consequently the strength of the current acting on electro-magnets attached to the gyroscope, the effect being to produce a precessional couple variable in magnitude and direction. By inserting a galvanometer in the circuit, the current strength can be determined and a measure of the rate of change of bearing obtained. Fig. 3 illustrates one method of employing mechanical means for the same end. Rotation of the graduated head 12 ultimately imparts movement to a lever 21, which gives precession to the gyroscope. Correction for change of range, temperature of the explosive, &c. can be given in the first case by a variable resistance in the circuit and in the second by varying the position of the fulcra of the transmitting-levers from graduated heads 20, 24. In this way, the head 12 can be made to give the corrected reading, which can then be transmitted to the gunsight or elsewhere, as required. Only the objective and a fiducial mark of the telescope need be carried on the gyroscope, the other parts of the instrument being carried on an auxiliary frame. Other means for applying precession are described, such as the torsion of a wire, the action of a coiled spring on a frame attached to the gyroscope, or the movement of a flexible chain which alters the centre of gravity of the gyroscope system. Means are also provided for imparting rapid precession to the gyroscope to facilitate moving quickly from one target to another. Specifications 4422/06, [Class 40, Electric telegraphs &c.], and 16,687/10 are referred to.

Abstract: 18,238. Zeiss, C., [Firm of]. Aug. 14, 1909, [Convention date]. Clinometers; sextants &c.-Instruments of the type in which a mirror is attached to a pendulum are simplified. Five diagrammatic views are described in the Specification of which Figs. 1 and 4 are here selected as examples. Each instrument comprises a holder e and a pendulum divided into two limbs, rotatable relatively to each other about an axis parallel to, as shown in Fig. 1, or coincident with, as shown in Fig. 4, the axis 4 of the pendulum. The mirror consists of a prism c which extends through a portion only of the field of vision. The centre of gravity of the scale limb a is at the point 1, and that of the pointer b is at the point 2. In each case, the instrument is set for an object on the horizon, but the dotted lines show the position of one or both limbs which occur when the instrument is set for an object on the zenith. In cases such as shown in Fig. 4, where the axis of the pendulum coincides with the axis of rotation, the weights of the limbs have the inverse ratio of the distances of the centres of gravity from the axis of rotation. To the limb to which the prism c is not attached may be fitted a subsidiary mirror d<0> for extending the field of vision. Figs. 6 and 7 show a constructional form, based on the diagram in Fig. 1, in which the axial points 2, 3, 4 are coincident. The adjusting - shaft k carries a pinion k<0> in gear with the sector l of the scale limb rotatable on the pendulum shaft b<0>, to which is fixed the cross b<1> carrying the vernier. The prism c‹ is carried by the pendulum shaft.
