Title: Improvements in or relating to control systems for gun mountings and other mechanism
IPC: F41G3/14
Filed: 1921-12-16
Abstract: 199,055. Vickers, Ltd., and Perham, A. L. Dec. 16, 1921. Mountings. - Relates to means of the kind described in Specification 16295/1@ for electrically controlling guns, search - lights, &c from a distance, in which an electric hunting-device comprising receiving and following members A, B and a switch C, C<1>, acts through an electromagnetic-relay e<2> e<2x> to move the control valve E of the gun &c According to the present invention, the receiving member A is purely rotary and the relay is connected to the switch-plate C so that movement of the relay acts upon the switch to break the circuit and stop the relay's own movement, means being provided whereby the ratio of relay movement to relative displacement of receiving and following members decreases as the latter movement increases. The receiving pointer A, driven by a distantly-controlled electric motor A<1>, is displaced relatively to a following dial B connected with the gun &c. by a geared shaft b. The dial B pivotally carries a switch-lever C<1> one end of which engages a cam D on the pointer A, the other end moving relatively to a gap in the contacts on the switch-plate C. The switch-plate C is normallv rotated with the shaft b by means of a projection g<1> on a sleeve G<1> which embraces the hub C<2> of the plate and engages a straight slot c<2> in the hub. When, however, the valve E is moved by the relay, a lever G translates the sleeve G<1> and the pin g<1> engaging a cam-groove b<1> on the shaft b rotates the plate C relatively to the dial B to restore the arm C<1> to the gap and stop the relay. The cam D which is cut from soft material is so shaped that, as the movement of pointer A relatively to dial B increases, the resulting relay movement decreases. The valve E is operated from the relay by a piston E' working in a cylinder E<1x>, the space above the piston being always open to fluid pressure, the space below being alternately put to pressure or exhaust by the actuation of one or other of the needle valves e<4>, e<4x> effected bv the armature e<3> of the electromagnets e<2>, e<2x>. When the valve E is rigidly connected with the switch-actuating lever G, the dial B lags behind the pointer A. This lag is prevented by removing a pin H' so as to insert an adjustable dash-pot H in the connection between the valve and the switch. Further, to prevent lag due to the lap of the valve E, a lost-motion coupling H<4> and a centring-spring H<3> are inserted between the valve and the switch.

Abstract: 991,447. Light guides. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Sept. 3. 1963 [Sept. 13,19621, No. 34677/63. Heading G2J. [Also in Divisions G4 and H4] An optical scanning device comprises a flexible radiant energy transmitting fibre having one end fixed and having its other end movable in accordance with variations of an electromagnetic or electrostatic field through which the fibre passes. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 a metal armature 12 is attached to a glass fibre 10 which is fastened at one end to a stationary support 11 and U-shaped polepieces 14,16,18 and 20 having air gaps 22, 24, 26 and 28 are placed perpendicularly to the glass fibre 10 so that the lines of flux produced in any one of the polepieces will cut through the armature. Windings 32 and 36 are connected in series and also windings 34 and 30 are connected in series and voltages to control vertical and horizontal deflection are impressed across each of the two series combinations by vertical deflection circuit 38 and horizontal deflection circuit 40. For electrostatic field deflection (Figs. 3 and 4, not shown) the fibre is coated with a metallic thin film, deflection being achieved by establishing a potential difference between the metallic film on the fibre and deflection plates by means of centretapped transformers. To increase the deflections a negative voltage may be applied to the fibre. In an image dissector device, Fig. 5, light reflected from image 72 passes through lens system 74 and is picked up by the magnetically deflected fibre 10 and passes through the fibre to a second lens system 76 which focuses the light beam on a photoelectric cell 78. A flying-spot scanner ulitizing a magnetically deflected fibre is also described in the Specification with reference to Fig. 6, not shown.
