Title: Improved Apparatus for Preventing Accidents from Hang-fire in the use of Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
Filed: 1906-10-27
Granted: 1907-10-26
Abstract: 23,995. Dawson, A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Oct. 27. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to devices for preventing accidents from " hang-fire." In the construction shown in sectional elevation and plan in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively, as applied to a gun having a sliding breech-block, the operating- handle A is mounted upon a non-recoiling bracket B, and is provided with a crank a which engages, when the gun is in the firing position, with a groove e in the cross-head E on the shaft of the breech-actuating mechanism. A spring-pressed bolt C, also mounted in the bracket B, normally engages over the cross-head, so as to obstruct the opening of the breech. When the gun is fired, the cross-head E recoils therewith, and releases a pawl C', pivoted at c<2> to the bolt C, which is thereupon swung outwards by a spring c<3> into a position to be engaged by the cross-head as the gun counterrecoils. The bolt C is thus pushed forwards and cannot engage with the cross-head ; the breech may then be opened by the handle A. In. order that the device may be operative even if the gun fails to run out completely, the bolt C is arranged so as to be pressed rearwards by the spring c until stopped by its lug c<1> engaging a fixed stop b. When the action is semi-automatic, the cross-head E is rotated during the counter-recoil into the position shown by the chain lines in Fig. 1, and engages and pushes back the bolt C without the interven-- tion of the pawl C'. At the instant that the breech is closed, the bolt C.re-engages over the cross-head E, and prevents the opening of the breech until. either the gun has recoiled at the next discharge, or the bolt is released by hand. A modification applicable to screw-breech mechanisms is shown in elevation and sectional plan in Figs. 12 and 13, respectively. The breech - actuating lever A is normally locked by a bolt C, capable of receiving a. limited rotation and also of sliding longitudinally in a bracket B on the gun. At its outer end, the bolt carries a crank c<7> which, during the recoil, lifts and slips past a non-recoiling spring pawl F pivoted at f. As the gun runs out, the crank-pin c<8> rides up the incline f<4> on the pawl, and rotates the bolt C into a position which permits the opening of the breech by the lever A. On closing the breech, the projection a<4> on the lever A engages the incline c<12> on the bolt and presses the latter outwards, causing the crank-pin c<8> to become disengaged from the pawl F. The spring c<6> immediately rotates the bolt and restores the parts to the positions shown in the Figures.

Abstract: 24,399. Taylor, C., and Taylor, G. B. Nov. 1. Tool-holders; tools; screwing.-Screw-cutting tools, either of the single-tooth or chaser kind, are made in two or more parts to allow adjustment for wear. Figs. 1 and 3 show a tool of the single-tooth variety, in which two overlapping parts a, b, .separated by a distance-piece e, are held in a holder by set-screws d, d<2>, d<3>. A modification of this type is shown in Figs. 4 and 5 in which the two parts act on different convolutions. The two parts a, b are clamped on either side of an adjusting-wedge g having a screwed tail g<3> by a bolt f<2>, which has a feather f<3> to prevent the tool and bolt from turning. The holder is held in any desired position on a piece h by a sliding piece h<2> and pin h<3>. Figs. 7 and 8 show a tool of the chaser kind, in which two parts a, b are held in a holder i by set-screws j, j<2>. Tools having different series of chasing-teeth are shown.

Patent GB-190703290-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Brushes or similar Articles having Bristle-holding Cement Pads.
Filed: 1907-02-09
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 3290. Akt.-Ges. fur B³rsten Industrie vorm. C. H. Roegner & D. J. Dukas. June 19, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Moulding parts of brushes.-Relates to casting cement pads for holding bristles and fixing the pads in recessed brush backs. Cement is run into a mould, the bottom of which consists of a frame 1, Fig. 3, filled with bristles and the sides of a pair of tongs 11, Fig. 1. The frame 1 is held in a second frame 3, Fig. 1, hinged at 4 and held together by a catch b. This frame slides in a third frame 14. The position of the tongs 11 is fixed by adjustable stops 6, 9, 10. Cement is poured into the mould, and as soon as it is somewhat set the tongs are removed and a recessed back 12, Fig. 3, is placed on the pad 20. Adjustable stops 7, 8, Fig. 1, as well as 6, 9, 10, keep the back in position. Pressure is then applied and the pad is forced home by an upstanding part 22, Fig. 3, of the bristle frame. Superfluous cement escapes and is cut off between the parts 19, 22. When finished, the level of the outer surface of the pad is lower than that of the adjacent brush back.

Title: Improvements in Broken Stone Roads having a Bituminous Matrix.
Inventor: HUTCHINSON JOHN
Filed: 1907-03-15
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 6305. Hutchinson, J. March 15. Roads, making; asphaltpaving; paving-materials -Broken stone roads having a bituminous matrix are made (1) by avoiding the use of dust or like finely divided material in the matrix, (2) by using coal-tar from which the volatile oils have been removed, and (3) by applying the matrix as a bottom layer to be forced upwards into the voids of the road metal by rolling. The matrix is made by coating the small particles of stone, slag, or clinker, previously heated, with hot prepared tar, having a gravity 1À23-1À27, with or without an addition of pitch which mayor may not be fluxed with anthracene oil. After the completion of the rolling, the surface may be painted with the tar cement, dry stone chippings being immediately afterwards spread and rolled therein.

Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 14,453. Liebeaux, G., and Hennebique, F. Nov. 29, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1001]. Sleepers; rails, securing to sleepers. - Reinforced cement beton or ferroconcrete railway sleepers are formed with end portions a, Fig. 7, having recesses 2 of trapezoidal section, in which wooden blocks c are secured for carrying the rails and through which the ballast or soil can be rammed before the blocks care inserted; the end. portions of the sleepers are connected by two concrete members b. Figs. 8 and 9 show longitudinal and transverse sections respectively, taken through the end portions of the sleeper so as to show the form of the recess 2 and wood block c. The blocks are arranged so that the fibres of the wood are in the direction of the length of the sleeper, and are secured in position by steel wedges d driven into the wedge-shaped spaces 3, 4 formed in the sides of the blocks c and recesses 2. The object of this arrangement is to secure the, block, while at the same time permitting it to expand laterally due to moisture. Figs. 11 and 12 show modifications in which a strengthening cross-bar e is used, and two or more recesses 2 are formed in the ends of the sleeper. Any recesses not filled with a wood block can be utilized along with the recesses 1 for ballasting purposes. Fig. 13 shows an arrangement by which a wood block can be renewed without disturbing the whole of the sleeper fastenings. The block is made so that it can be removed through the bottom of the recess when a portion of the ballast has been removed, and is secured in position by running rapidlysetting cement motar 5 between the end walls. To release the block, the motar is removed. The blocks c may be made of suitable agglomerates instead of wood, and the reinforcing of the concrete is preferably carried out on the Hennebique system.
