Title: Improvements in or relating to Recoil Mechanism for Guns.
Inventor: ROTHE ERNST KARL
IPC: F41A25/18
Filed: 1909-10-28
Granted: 1910-10-28
Abstract: 24,826. Rothe, E. K. Oct. 28. Recoil apparatus.-Relates to brakes of the kind in which the recoil and run-out are automatically regulated in accordance with changes in the elevation of the gun. The invention consists in regulating such recoil and run-out by moving the brake piston longitudinally relatively to the brake cylinder and simultaneously varying the initial pressure of the run-out gear. Fig. 3 shows one arrangement in which spring run-out gear is used, the gun being shown in its extreme recoil position with the parts adjusted to give the maximum length of recoil. The recoil piston-rod d is made hollow, and is internally screwed at its forward end to engage with a screwed spindle f, which is rotated as the gun is elevated through gearing t, r, q, shaft o, and gearing n, m, p, by a fixed segmentai rack u. The piston h is thereby moved in the rifled brake cylinder a so as to shorten the length of recoil; and the rear hollow portion of the piston-rod d is also moved rearwards so as to vary the distance over which a rod e controls the run-out. The piston-rod d is also attached by a cross-head c and rods b to the rear abutment k of the run-out spring so as to vary the initial tension of the spring simultaneously with the variation in the length of recoil. The front abutment i of the run-out spring is united to an extension of the brake cylinder a by a bayonet-joint so as to allow the run-out spring to be readily dismounted. Fig. 11 shows a modification, in which pneumatic run-out cylinders v<1> are employed, a forward projection on the gun being connected to the screwed rod f<1>, and the movement of the gun in elevation being transmitted to the piston-rod d<1> by a sliding pinion n<1> gearing with a pinion p<1>. The piston h<1> is thereby automatically moved in the cylinder a<1>, and liquid is forced through passages s<1> into the rear end of the cylinders v<1> thus moving pistons k<1> and thereby varying the initial pressure of the run-out gear, and at the same time varying the distance over which the runout is controlled by the rods e<1>.

Title: Improvements in Yarn Warping Machines.

Abstract: 2768. Livesey, R. C. Feb. 4. Yarns, warping. - In a yarn-warping machine having a slow-motion pulley D interposed between the loose pulley B and the fast pulley C, the clutch H connecting the slow motion with the main shaft A is operated by the move- . ments of the strap-fork rod M by means of a stirrup L supporting a pivoted rod K, to which is secured the clutch fork k. When the strapfork rod moves the driving-belt from the loose pulley B to the slow - motion pulley D, the stirrup L moves along the incline k<1>, and the rod K is pulled down by the spring S, thus sliding the member h of the clutch H into engagement. Similarly, when the belt is moved on to the fast pulley C, the incline k' causes the clutch to disengage. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the incline k' brings the clutch into engagement, and, when the belt is on the fast pulley, disengagement is ensured both by the pawl g<1>, which then rides over the ratchet teeth g, and by the ordinary clutch teeth of the clutch H. The pawl is kept from rattling on the teeth by means of the spring g<2>, Fig. 4, embracing the sleeve on which the ratchet-wheel is loosely mounted. The clutch H may be replaced by any other ordinary form of clutch.

Abstract: 3690. Crossley, K. I., and Atkinson, J. Feb. 15. Right to Patent relinquished. Direct explosion apparatus.-An air-vessel is placed on a subsidiary main or in a suitable position of the long delivery main in order to get a four-stroke cycle in the explosion chamber, air-vessel, and subsidiary main while a twostroke-cycle action occurs in the delivery main. The lower part of the explosion chamber A is connected with the main delivery pipe D and a shorter pipe C which leads to an air-vessel F. The arrangement is such that the period of the wave motion in the pipe C is half that in the pipe D. Upon an explosion occurring, water is driven along the pipes C, D, with the result that air is compressed in the vessel F, and the flow of the water in it and the pipe C is reversed and passes into the chamber A to expel the combustion products through the valve G. The level of water in the chamber A again falls, and a charge of fuel is drawn in through the valve B. Finally, both masses of water in the pipes C, D return to compress the charge ready for firing. In a modification, the air-vessel is placed on the delivery main, the part of the main between the air-vessel and the explosion chamber taking the place of the subsidiary main. Specifications 14,976/98, 20,736/06, and 18,595/07, are referred to.

Abstract: 16,760. Metcalf, F., and Dalgleish, E. July 13. Winches; driving-gear; constant-tension and tension-regulating apparatus. - Ships' winches are adapted for use as non-reversible winding- drums for breaking-out and raising the anchors, and as regulated-tension winding-devices for vessels riding at anchor, or for towing or the like. Figs. 1 and 2 show a winch comprising a drum 11 driven by spur gearing from the electric motor 33. The elements 22, 23 of a spring friction clutch are adjustably connected to the pinion 19 by the screwed hand-wheel 25, so that the clutch slips at a predetermined pressure and allows the overloaded drum. to pay out the rope. When in use as a regulated-tension appliance, reversal of the motor is prevented by a pawl 35, and a cam-plate operating a. sliding bar 49 is connected to the toothed wheel 41 on the drum shaft by a spring pin. As the drum revolves to pay out the overloaded rope, the tooth 40 operates the wheel 41, and the bar 49 is forced downwards to close a switch 52, thereby supplying current to the motor to resist the paying-out of the rope. When the strain on the rope becomes normal, the motor re-winds the rope until the depression on the cam-plate allows the bar to rise again and operate a cutout switch 53. A pawl 16 may be engaged with the drum to render the apparatus non-reversible and thus suitable for utilizing the lifting movement of the ship for breaking-out an anchor.
