Abstract: 29,712. B³nzli, H. Dec. 21. Attaching pocket-books to weariny-apparel.- A safety-device for attaching a pocket-book to the coat-pocket comprises a bent metal plate 10, Figs. 1 and 2, attached to the pocket-book by means of a bent metal rod 2 and provided with two arms 8, 9 and a clamping-screw 18, between which and the arm 9 the material of the pocket is gripped, a button 17 at the end of a spring piece 15 being pressed down to permit the turning of the screw. Dummy screws 21, 22 and buttons 16 are used to render the release of the device by unauthorized persons difficult. In a modification, shown in Fig. 7, the parts 8, 9 are made telescopic and connected by a screw 17. On release of this screw, the part 9, when pushed upwards, engages the upper end 12 of a clip pivoted on a lug 10 and so clamps the material between the part 8 and the lower end 14 of the clip. For attaching the device to the pocket-book, the device is fixed to one arm of the bent metal rod 2, Fig. 1, the other arm of which grasps the back of the pocket-book 3, which is clamped between the two arms by a spring 4, the inner arm being provided with notches to engage a spring catch 7 carried at the end of a chain 5, so that the fastening is adjustable to the size of the pocket-book. In a modification, the two arms of the bent metal rod are pivoted together and their ends secured by a sliding sleeve. In another modification, a hinge is connected to the pocket-book, and the hinge pin is extended and bent to carry the safety device.

Title: Improvements in the Elevating Gear of Gun Mountings.
IPC: F41A27/24
Filed: 1911-01-02
Granted: 1912-01-02
Abstract: 67. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., Murray, C. H., and Johnston, F. G. D. Jan. 2. [Cognate Application, 1725/11.] Naval mountings.-Relates to cross-connected elevating-gear for guns mounted in pairs and adapted to be sighted simultaneously from one sight, or independently, and consists in arrangements for making corrections, dependent upon the range, in the elevation of one gun for differences between the muzzle-velocities of the two guns, when sighting both guns simultaneously from the sights of one of them. Fig. 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a front elevation of one form of the elevating-gear of the righthand gun of a pair. The elevating-gear of each gun comprises a screw-threaded shaft a rotated by a motor a<2>, and working in a sliding nut b. Links c connect the nut b with trunnions d, which, in the case of the left-hand gun, are fixed to the gun-slide e, and, for the right-hand gun, are carried by a nut e<1> adjustably mounted in guides e<2> in the gun-slide. The shafts a are connected by cross-shafts f<1>, f<2>, bevel-gears a<3>, f, and a one-position clutch f<3>, in connexion with which an indicator f<5>, f<6> is arranged to show when the shafts f<1>, f<2> are in the coupling relationship. The nut e' is connected to the slide e by a right and left handed screw e<3>. When the sights are set for range by a hand-wheel l<2>, a chain-and-sprocket drive-gear l<1>, l, k<2> rotates a transverse screw - shaft k<1> on the slide, and, through a long sliding nut k, actuates the valve i' of an hydraulic cylinder g which works on a fixed piston h, and by its movement closes the valve as soon as the rotation of the screw k' is stopped. A rack g<1> on the cylinder gears with a pinion e<5> on the end of the screw e<3>, and thereby adjusts the position of the nut e<1> relatively to the slide. Since the screw k<1>, or the sprocket-wheel k<2>, may be replaced by others of different pitch or size to suit various muzzle - velocity differences between the two guns, the adjustment of the nut e<1> will correspond with the muzzle-velocity difference and the range. In a modification, the links c of both elevating-gears are connected directly to the gun-slides, and the correcting-mechanism comprises a differential-gear arranged in the transverse shaft f<1>, the correction being made by rotating the casing of the differential-gear, and therefore the axes of the planet-wheels, by a hand or power-operated worm-gear. To indicate the extent of the correction, a pointer driven by the worm-shaft rotates around a range-dial independent of the sights, the range pointer of which is controlled by a cam as described in Specification 3126/06. The angular coincidence of the pointers, after the rangepointer has been set for the range, denotes the proper correction.
