Title: Improvements in Breech Mechanism for Small Arms.
Inventor: PHILIPPIDES PHILIPP APOSTOLOU
Filed: 1906-01-02
Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 178. Philippides, P. A. Jan. 2. Breech actions, sliding breech-block. -The non-rotating head 1 of a breechbolt, which is locked and unlocked by rotation about its longitudinal axis, shown in side elevation and rear view Fig. 3, has a diametrical slot 8 wedge - shaped i n cross - section and extending forward and also a shallow slot 7 at right-angles to the first and of similar cross - section. The firing-pin 3, Fig. 2, has a wedge-shaped shoulder 9, which is inserted into the shallow slot 7 of the head 1. The head and pin are then introduced into the breech-bolt body 2 and the head locked to the body by rotating through ninety degrees to bring the lug 5 into the groove 6. The cccking-piece 11 is then screwed on to the firing-pin as shown and the firing-pin drawn back so as to disengage the shoulder 9 from the slot 7 of the bolt-head 1, which is then turned through ninety degrees to bring the slot 8 in line with the shoulder 9. The firing-pin is then released and is thrown forward so that the shoulder 9 enters the slot 8 and the beak of the cocking-piece enters the cam-groove on the bolt. A projection 16, shown in the side elevation, Fig. 4, of the rear end of the bolt, enters a recess 17, Fig. 5, on the inside of the beak of the cocking-piece, when the firing-pin is cocked, so that the firing-pin cannot be pulled backwards after it has been cocked and is rigidly connected with the breech-bolt during its backward and forward movements. The safety bolt 19', Fig. 5, has near its forward end a groove 19 into which a projection on the breech-bolt body enters, when the safety bolt is in the safety position, so that the breech cannot be opened. In a modification, shown in Fig. 7, the cocking-piece 11 is secured by the nut 40, which engages with interrupted screw-threads on the end of the firing-pin. Means are provided for preventing the safety bolt from being pushed in to allow the nut 40 to be turned while the bolt is open, a step being formed on the safety bolt to engage against the rear end of the breech-bolt in the open position and a recess in the breech bolt coming opposite to the step when the breech-bolt handle is turned down for locking.

Inventor: SIMS WILLIAM EDGAR
Filed: 1906-02-07
Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 2929. Sims, W. E., and Bowes, H. Feb. 7. Hydrocyanic acid; cyanides.-Relates to the recovery of cyanogen compounds from crude gases and simultaneously from the insoluble cyanogen compounds which are obtained in the production of hydrocyanic acid from alkali or alkaline-earth ferrocyanides. These insoluble compounds are removed from the hydrocyanic acid still, freed from excess of acid and soluble salts, and mixed with an alkali or alkali carbonate in definite excess, with or without ferrous hydrate or carbonate (such as is produced by the action of alkali carbonate on ferrous sulphate solution). The mixture is placed in a washer and subjected to the action of sulphuretted gases containing cyanogen compounds, until no more cyanogen compounds are absorbed. The mixture is then distilled with alkali to drive off ammonia, which may be recovered, and the filtered product, consisting mainly of alkali ferrocyanide solution, may be purified and treated again in the hydrocyanic acid still. The residue from the filtration is mixed with a fresh charge of the insoluble compounds from the still and used again in the washer.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Coin-freed Operating Mechanism.
Filed: 1906-02-13
Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 3565. D³rnberg & Co., M., and Olthoff, H. Feb. 13. Gas-meters; delivery mechanism.- The coin mechanism, which is generally applicable, is shown adapted to a gas-meter. The coin disk m, having been freed by prepayment, is rotated through 180 degrees by the driving-spring o through differential gearing o<2>, z, z<1>, d, wheels d, v, and change wheels x, x<1>. The wheels d<1>, o<2> are, respectively, fast and loose on the shaft w, while the wheels z, z<1> are carried by a common shaft mounted in the wheel c geared to the worm a<1> of the meter mechanism. The rotation of the shaft w removes the arm g from the rod e, allowing the valve to open. As the gas passes, the rotation of the wheel c winds up the spring o and returns the arm g to close the valve. When the maximum number of coins has been inserted, the arm g<1> of the lever g turns the lever h<1> to place the arm h in the path of the projections q, q<1> on the coin disk. Coin action.-The coin r, Fig. 5, inserted in the slot s, depresses the sliding bolt n on the coin disk m, thereby placing the projections q, q<1> on the bolt alternately out of and into the pith of the fixed tappet p, and allowing the driving - spring o to impart a semi-rotation to the disk. Fraud, preventing.-Unless a coin is present, the pawl t, Fig. 2, engages a notch in the disk m. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, the coin r forces back the sliding piece k<1>, thereby removing its arm k from the path of the projections q, q<1>. In another arrangement, the disk m is provided with two spring-pressed pawls adapted to engage a fixed stop unless displaced by the insertion of a coin.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Endless Travelling Grates.
Inventor: JELTSCH MAX
Filed: 1906-06-07
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 13,216. Jeltsch, M. June 7. Grates; ashes and the like, collecting and removing.-Relates to the construction and arrangement of a fixed or reciprocating scraper at the rear end of a travelling grate, and to means for collecting and breaking up the ashes &c. The front part 1 of the scraper, Fig. 1, rests on the grate 2, and the tall part 3 bears against one end of a plate 7 pivoted at 8. The scraper is carried by arms 4 on a shaft 5, and the angle a<1> between the scraper and the grate, and consequently the height h of the fuel, may be altered by operating the lever 6. By connecting this lever to a rod 10, a continuous reciprocation may be imparted to the scraper. The scraper may be perforated, and may have its upper side serrated and its underside provided with ribs. When several scrapers are employed, they may be moved at different speeds and in different directions, and the plate 7 may be dispensed with, in which case a tongue is pivoted to the tail end 3 and slides over a projection formed on a plate fixed to the upper part of the masonry 16. To reciprocate the scrapers at different speeds, they are carried by two shafts 5, 5<a>, Fig. 9, the levers 6 of which are connected by a single lever or by displaceable links 24, 24<a>, respectively, to an arm 23<a>, which in turn is connected to a reciprocating lever 19 imparting motion to the travelling grate. By arranging the levers 6 for the shafts 5, 5<a> at 180 degrees to each other, as shown by dotted lines, the scrapers may be moved in opposite directions. A similar arrangement may be employed where there is only one group of scrapers. In a modification, a second rod 22 is placed symmetrically above the lever 21. Each of these rods may be in two parts provided with screw devices for shortehing their length, and may be replaced by chains. Figs. 12 and 13 show devices for discharging ashes &c. from the shoot into which they fall from the grate. In the form shown in Fig. 12, two plates 41 are pivoted to a hub 40, which is formed with stops and carries arms 42 having stops 43, 44. By rotation of a lever 45 from the position x to the position y, the arms 40 smash any caked masses, and the ashes &c. fall to the lower part of the shoot. In the discharge position, in which the arms 42 and the plates 41 are directed downwards, the plates 41 rest against the stops 43, 44, as indicated by dotted lines. The plates are returned to their closed position, one by its stop on the hub 40, and the other by the opposite stop on the arms 42, which raises it past the vertical so that it can drop into place. In the form shown in Fig. 13, the plate 41 is normally pressed against a stop 47 by a weight 49, and the hub carries breaking-arms 42.

Granted: 1908-01-15
Abstract: 28,628. Clark, T., and Vlasto, I. Dec. 15. Switches. - Relates to drum controllers in which the resistances are threaded on the spindle, and consists in providing a separate magnetic blow-out at each wiper contact. The resistance coils 1, Fig. 1, are of the type bent on edge, and the method of winding adjacent coils in opposite senses is adopted so that magnetic lines pass outwards to a magnetic bar 5, Fig. 4, through bosses 2 arranged one between each resistance coil. There is thus produced an arc-extinguishing flux where each wiper 20 contacts with its contact segments 3. The bosses 2 carry the segments 3, and each boss makes direct live contact with the ends of the coil on either side of it. Ventilation is obtained by air ducts 15 in the bosses. The wiper springs are mounted on a bar 22 insulated above and below, and one additional wiper spring is mounted below on a further insulated part of the bar. The wiper bar also forms the support for the magnetic bar 5. A further feature consists in the provision at each end of the controller casing of an annular ring 13 of L-shaped cross-section. The ring and the casing are cut so that one half can. be swung out to enable the contents to be got at. According to the Provisional Specification, the resistance coils may be arranged at the ends of the spindle, or on a separate spindle carrying a pole face which covers the contacts ; a reciprocating hand-wheel is also described for operating the controller. This wheel has a toothed disk which is depressed against the action of a spring into engagement with a similarly toothed disk on the controller spindle. A locking-pawl pivoted in a groove in the handle is held in engagement with the spindle disk by an underload magnet. The hand-wheel is allowed a limited reciprocating movement between fixed stops. An overload magnet on the wiper standard short-circuits the underload hold-on coil under excess current.
