Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 22,196. Smith, W. D. Sept. 29. Ordnance smoke, deflecting or disposing of; cooling; cleaning. - Relates to apparatus which is operated by the recoil movement of the gun for injecting fluid to cool and flush the gun, and consists in causing the mushroom head of the obturator to be automatically advanced during the recoil, so as to open the fluidinlet valve, and also uncover ports which communicate with the space between the mushroom bead and the gas-check proper. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section showing the position of the parts prior to firing, and Fig. 2 shows a rear elevation. When the gun recoils, a lever 12, pivotally attached to the spindle 5 of the mushroom head 4, is moved forwards, by encountering a projection 14 on a non-recoiling spring-controlled rod 15, and thereby advances ports 9 in the spindle 5 to a position forward of the gas-check 6. At the same time, a pipe 26, attached to the spindle 5 and communicating with the ports 9, is moved forwards into engagement with the main fluid-supply pipe 23, the valve 24, Fig. 5, being opened automatically by a web in the pipe 26. The lever 12 is held by a catch 21 until the breech-block is rotated for unlocking, a spring 10, or failing this a cam 30, Fig. 2, then returns the parts to the position shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 6 shows a hinged valve 28 for automatically closing the ends of the passages 9. Modifications are described in which (1) the passages 9 are formed in the breech-block, (2) the spindle 5 is provided with a screw-thread which engages a corresponding thread on the breech-block so that the obturator is advanced by rotation of either the spindle 5 or the breech-block as the gun recoils.

The gases finally pass to the smoke stack 3 by way of a damper 10 closed by gravity, and opened by a cord 25 or by the gaseous pressure. The air current, created by a fan 13, is regulated by valves 19, 20, and steam from the drum 21 is discharged into it through a valved pipe 23. The pipe 23 carries an oil cup 23<b> by which oil may be automatically supplied to the steam. The flues 5 branch from a single flue and have horizontally enlarged mouths 9.
