Patent GB-190915502-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Cartridge Shell Feeding Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: F42B33/00
Filed: 1909-07-02
Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 15,502. Boult, A. J., [Stillwell, H. A.]. July 2. Cartridges-loading machines.-Consists in means for automatically distributing cartridge-shells to shuttles, adapted to hold the shells during the loading operation. The shells, when completed, are packed in cages 10, Fig. 1. Each cage is turned so that its open end lies against the extended front wall 14 of the feed-box L, Fig. 2, which has grooves 22 in its base and a number of hinged leaves 16, rocked by means of rods 15, the connecting crossbar 17 of which co-acts with a cam-bar 11 reciprocated by an eccentric 20. When a gate 12 is removed, the shells pile themselves in tiers a between the leaves 16. T-shaped rods 23, connected by u. cross-bar 25, then eject the shells on to one of the grooved carriers 26, Figs. 1 and 8, pivotally mounted on chains 29 and kept upright by a tail 31 correctly balanced by means of plugs placed in an orificed bar 36. The chains 29 convey the carriers to a grooved shoot 42, wherein the shells are dropped by a temporary tilting of the carriers caused by pins 39 engaging cams 40; cams 41 prevent the carriers from swinging back too far. The grooved shoot 42 extends into closed guides 44 leading to a shuttlefeeder 45 ; the shells are retained therein by a perforated plate 51, Fig. 1, which is normally held by a spring 57 with the perforations out of line with the shells. The feeder 45 is then swung about a pivot 52 so as to come over the shuttle-holder 60, Fig. 10, of a cartridge-loading machiue. At the end of this movement, the plate 51 is automatically moved by a cam 53, connected to the frame by a link 56, coming against a pin 54 on the plate, and the shells are thus discharged into the holder. The ejector, the chain conveyer, and the shuttle-feeder are all operated by mechanism connected to the cross-head 64 of a fluid-pressure piston 61, controlled by a throttle-valve 810 and a three-way valve 81 leading to the source of power and to the exhaust. A weight 82, connected by a cord 83 to the cross-head 64, and a spring 84, connecting the shuttle-feeder to the frame, return the various parts to their original positions when the throttlevalve is open to the exhaust. The chain conveyer is operated by means of a pawl 72 on a loose pulley 70, Fig. 4, connected by belts 69 to levers 68, and, to prevent the conveyer from being moved too far at each step, a stop 77 is moved into the path of a pin 78 by means of a cam letter 75 and a lever 68 before the completion of the stroke of the pawl 72. In a modification, the chain conveyer is dispensed with; the box 14 is disposed on a level with the top of the shoot 42 and the shells are ejected thereinto.

Abstract: 24,240. Thomsen, P. Nov. 1. Cooling superheaters; fire-tubes, arrangements of superheating - tubes in.-To cool the tubes of a superheater fitted in a locomotive or like boiler, an air inlet controlled by a non-return valve is arranged upon the saturated - steam chamber, so that, when the engine is running with the steam shut off, air is drawn through the superheater. In the superheater shown, the air inlet consists of a tubular projection k upon the steam header d. The inlet is controlled by a ball-valve l, which, when the superheater is working, is forced against the inlet' aperture in a cap m at the top of the tubular projection and cuts off the communication between the superheater and the atmosphere. The bent ends f of superheating-tubes arranged in the boiler fire-tubes, as shown, are enclosed by a chamber having top and bottom walls i, h, and a front wall w, which restricts the outflow of gases from the chamber.
