Title: An Improved Meter or Measuring Instrument.
Inventor: LEA JAMES EDWARD
Filed: 1909-04-24
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 9723. Lea, J. E. April 24. [Addition to 8407/07.] Integrating; modifying scale.- The parts for controlling the point of application of the counter to the clock-operated actuating-drum in the integrator described in the parent Specification, are arranged and constructed so as to ensure more correct action. The rod c, which may be positioned by the float of a liquid-meter, drives a cam-drum a which engages an arm i on a rod g, mounted so as to slide and to move a carrier p for the counter, so that a projecting pinion n engages a clock-driven drum b at the correct position. The ends of the teeth on the drum form a helix; and the carrier p has a pair of lugs q<1>, bored to engage the rod g loosely between adjustable collars r, and fitted with clamp screws to fix the angular position of a stirrup t, which carries a counterpoise w<1> on an arm w. The weight is so adjusted that the arm w bears against a rod above it and parallel to the sliding rod g, thus allowing the counter-actuating pinion n to engage the teeth of the drum b, but to be clear of the plain surface. The sliding rack c has a pointer moving against a scale x<1>, and the rod g carries a recording-arm h. If the drum a is dispensed with, the lengths of the teeth on the drum b are suitably arranged to give the corresponding flow.

Abstract: 10,581. Murphy, G. H., and Bernard, C. B. May 4. Balls. - During the manufacture of golf balls, each ball after it has been covered with the outer coating of gutta percha, is placed in a mould, and several of the moulds h, h<1>, h2 held in a carrier d are placed in a tank a. Pressure is applied to the moulds by a screw q working in a bridge-piece l secured to the carrier d and resting on or bolted to the cover of the tank. Hot water &c., or steam, is circulated in the tank a round the carriers d, or the tank is heated by a gas burner s until the carriers are heated sufficiently to effect the finishing of the balls. The carriers can then be removed from the tank and a new set placed in position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Differential Recoil Guns.
Inventor: HAUSSNER KONRAD
IPC: F41A25/06
Filed: 1909-08-04
Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 17,996. Haussner, K. Sept. 11, 1908, [Convention datel. Field carriages; recoil apparatus.-Relates to differential recoil guns, that is, to guns which are fired during the run-out, and consists in arranging such guns so that the existing recoil brake, or a speciallyprovided brake, is automatically set to such a braking resistance, when the gun runs out beyond the firing position, owing to a hangfire, that as the barrel reaches its s rearward position no shock is experienced. Fig. 1 shows the gun barrel A in its rearward position with the run-out springs D compressed, and a recoil cylinder C revolubly connected to a barrel projection a<1>. The cylinder C, is provided with longitudinal grooves z, Fig. 3, and a piston E F, the part E of which is connected by a pistonrod c to the gun cradle, the part F being rotated on the part E by grooves n in the cylinder C. When the gun runs out beyond the firing- position, a lever g, extending from a ring G keyed to the cylinder C, is rotated by a cam J on the gun, and the piston part F is thereby rotated to close openings f in the two - part piston, so that the braking resistance is increased since fluid can now only pass through the grooves z when the gun recoils. The lever g may be returned to its normal position automatically or by hand at the end of recoil. The arrangement simultaneously serves as a stopping-brake in case of a miss-fire. In a modification, a friction brake, operated by a stop on the gun, is caused to grip the outside of a hollow rod replacing the cylinder C, when a miss-fire or hang-fire occurs. Fig. 8, shows a further modification applied to guns not fitted with a recoil brake. The cylinder C of a special hydraulic brake C c carried by the gun cradle, has a rib c<2> which, under normal circumstances, forms a bearing - surface for a spring pin E mounted on the gun A. If a miss-fire or hangfire occurs, the pin E enters a recess c<3>, and the cylinder C then moves with the gun and acts first as a stopping-brake and then as a recoilbrake. A similar arrangement is described in which a friction brake replaces the hydraulic brake.

[Addition to 4631/09.] Treating ores to facilitate concentration.- Complex ores, such as lead and zinc sulphides, are rendered more amenable to concentration by mixing with a solution of an oxidizing-agent at the ordinary temperature, the heating of the mixture, as described in the parent Specification, being unnecessary. Preferably a bichromate or a permanganate is used, and the mass may be dried, with or without gentle heat, before concentration.

In a modification, Fig. 6, a lace 26 is threaded through the stays 27, and may be used to regulate the projection of the attachment in place of the springs 22, 23. In a further modification, the attachment only extends down to the waist.
