Patent GB-191208444-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Handling the Projectiles of Heavy Ordnance.
Inventor: BACON REGINALD HUGH SPENCER
IPC: F41A9/20

Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 8444. Bacon, R. H. S., and Shepherd, F. W. H. April 9. Loading-appliances. - Relates to bogies for conveying projectiles to the lower ends of ammunition hoist trunks. According to the invention, the usual slope down which the projectile is rolled from the bogie into the hoist cage is replaced by a projectile tray which can be moved on the bogie downwards and inwards to carry and retain the shell until it is brought into proximity to the cage. The device is shown in side elevation in Fig. 1, applied to a suspended bogie b. The projectile tray m is supported at its two ends by link-parallelograms t, u, v, w, the lower joints of which are connected by short links o to fixed pivots p on the bogie. The two elbow joints of each parallelogram are supported by arms q, r, of which the arms q are keyed to a shaft s and the arms r are loose on the shaft. A handle y on the axis of the tray m is guided in an inclined groove x in the side wall of the bogie. The shell is retained in the tray m by latches 1 which are depressed when the tray is in its innermost position. The tray is moved inwards by hand, but when empty, is brought back again by rocking the shaft s by a pedal z.

Abstract: 9525. Kilburn, B. E. D., [Sulzer Geb.]. April 22. Motor power plant.- The main engines for propelling ships work in conjunction with auxiliary motors which supply additional air for scavenging, charging, starting, &c., the main and auxiliary engines being grouped in separate water-tight compartments. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, a main engine 3 and an auxiliary engine 11 are mounted in a watertight compartment 1, and a main engine 24 and auxililiary engine 33 in a compartment 2. The main engine 3 drives a charging and scavenging-air compressing pump 10, and the auxiliary engine 11, which is mounted above the propeller shaft, pumps 14, 15 for supplying charging and scavenging-air, and pumps 16, 17 for supplying air for starting and the injection of fuel. The main and auxiliary pumps 10, 14, 15 discharge into a common engine-supply reservoir 20. The arrangement of the pumps in the watertight compartment 2 is similar to that in the compartment 1 the receivers 20, 42 of the two compartments being connected by a pipe 46 provided with a controlling valve 47. The auxiliary engines may drive other pumps, or dynamos, or they may be used for other supplementary purposes. The main engines may also drive auxiliary pumps for starting, reversing, &c. In the modified arrangement shown in Fig. 7, main engines 4a, 5<a> are mounted in one watertight compartment and the auxiliary engines 32<a> in another compartment. The main engines drive charging and scavenging-air pumps 12<a>, 23<a> which deliver into a common supply reservoir 53a. The pumps 38<a>, 39<a>, driven by auxiliary engines, deliver into a reservoir 51<a> which may communicate with the reservoir 53<a> through a valve 52<a>. High pressure air for starting, reversing, injecting fuel, &c. is delivered by pumps 13<a>, 24<a> driven by the main engine and by pumps 42<a> driven by the auxiliary engines the air being stored in communicating reservoirs 44<a> provided in the different compartments.

Abstract: 22,435. Lancasbire Dynamo and Motor Co., McLeod, R. S., and Whitmore, H. B. Oct. 6. Band; applied by springs and weights; electric and magnetic.- In band brakes for electric cranes &c., of the kind in which the bands are connected to tightening-devices limited in their movement by stops so that the brake acts equally well for either direction of rotation ot the drum, the ends of the band are coupled to two bars connected to two cores of a solenoid, which, when energized, overcome the action of a spring or weight normally applying the brake. Fig. 2 shows a brake in which the ends a3, b3 of the bands are connected to bars a4, b4 attached to an applying- spring G4, and to two releasing solenoid cores h1, h2 which are drawn together when energized. Stops j1, j2 limit the movement, and the ends of the band are carried by links a5, b5. In modifications, the spring is replaced by a weighted lever fulcrumed on the bar a4 and connected to the bar b4, and the solenoid may, in such case, be arranged in connexion with the weight. In cases where multiphase alternating currents are used, a number of solenoids may be provided, being connected in the circuits of the several phases. Compensating for wear may be effected by forming the band in two parts, and connecting the parts by screw and nut c2, c3.

Abstract: 6918. Read, H. J. March 18. Lighting and heating systems.-In a generating. system comprising a prime-mover, generator, and battery, where the generator may run as a motor for starting, a second generator is mechanically coupled to the first, and switches are provided so that, while one generator supplies the work circuit, the other produces the additional pressure for charging the battery. The shaft of the primemover a carries the armatures of the generator d, d', the former d being connected across the mains j, m by a hand or automatic switch n, and the latter d<1> being connected in series with the generator d and the battery-charging switch p by the electro-magnetic switch q. The discharge switch e is connected to the lamp switch g, which is normally closed by a weight h, so that the lamps c are normally supplied from the battery b. When the switch n is closed, the machine d runs as a motor and starts the prime-mover a. When this is running at its normal speed, the current from the generator d<1> energizes the coils r, t sufficiently to close the switch q and to open the switch g. The lamps c are then supplied from the generator d, and the generator d' acts as a booster to assist in charging the battery. The starting-switch n may be operated automatically according to the state of charge of the battery. In a modification, the generator d' has a reverse series field coil, and the discharge switch e is operated by an electro-magnet which moves the arm to include the minimum number of cells. The arm is counterweighted so that additional cells may be put in easily by hand when necessary. A starting-resistance is provided and is short-circuited by an electro-magnetic switch after the starting of the prime-mover. Instead of employing two machines d, d', one dynamo with a double armature, or two windings, or a combination winding, may be used.
