Patent GB-190916900-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Instruments for Calculating the Correction to be Applied to a Vessel's Course to Counteract Tidal Effect.
Inventor: HILL EBENEZER
Filed: 1909-07-20
Granted: 1909-12-23
Abstract: 16,900. Hill, E. July 20. Calculating-apparatus.-In an apparatus for computing -the correction to be applied to a ship's course to counteract the set of the tide, a block 8 bearing the pivot 14 of a pointer 11 is moved along a graduated scale-arm 6, pivoted at 4, to a position corresponding to the ratio that the rate of the tide at the particular spot bears to the normal speed of the vessel. The scale-arm 6 is graduated in percentages of the constant distance between the fixed pivot 12 and the movable pivot 14, the distance representing the normal speed of the vessel. A compass rose 5, mounted on the axis 4 adapted to slide in a slot 2, is then turned until the compassbearing of the destination corresponds with the centre line of the instrument or with the zero of a scale 15. The hand 7 carried by the scale-arm 6 is next turned to the direction of the set of the tide as given in the usual tables, and, as a result, the pointer 11 indicates on the scale 15 the correction in degrees to be given to the compass course to counteract the tidal effect.

Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 17,399. Phipps, T. July 27. Haymaking.-In swath-turners and hay-collectors of the rotary-disk type described in Specification 5693/08, the tines are held in planes at right-angles to the disk while turning the crop, and are then turned about radial pivots so as to draw out of it without carrying any round. The tines b, Fig. 1, are attached to carriers c which are pivoted on the inclined disk a by radial bolts d. They are controlled by rollers n, n<1>, n<2>, engaging cams e, e<1> on a fixed shaft f, which is pivoted at f and is provided with a balance weight f <2>. The disk a is carried by a sleeve g which is rotated by bevel and chain gearing. In order that the carriers c may be rocked about the bolts d when the driving-gear is reversed, the pins carrying the rollers n', n<2> are mounted in slots in supporting-arms which engage with stops in a groove e' in the cam e'. Springs o tend to prevent rocking of the tines b and carriers c. The cam e may be omitted. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, a single roller on each tine carrier engages a grooved cam. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, the tine b is pivoted at b<1>, b<2>, so that it may move vertically and laterally between stops. Resilient tines may be made from strips of sheet metal, the sides of the strips being bent at the points to stiffen them. They may be shaped and secured as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. The carriers c may be dispensed with, the guide-rollers being mounted on extensions of bent rods forming the tines.

Abstract: 972. Kay, J. Jan. 14. Tripping and like arrangements.-In a device for intermittently driving the tappet shafts of machines for printing sarees, scarves, &c., of the kind wherein a driving-wheel, loose on the shaft, carries spring studs adapted to be engaged and disengaged at intervals from a second member fast on the shaft, the loose wheel c is furnished with a series, in this case eight, of spring studs d adapted to engage in two diametrically-opposite recesses in the fixed disk e. Each stud d carries a roller p adapted to hold the stud out of engagement with the disk e by bearing on the outside of a circumferential flange g<1> on a member g formed integral with a sleeve r secured to the bearing f. The flange g<1> has two gaps, through which two of the studs p can pass simultaneously into the groove h. The gaps are closed at intervals by the elevation of two sliding blocks i, controlled by springs l and a cam n secured to an independentlydriven bevel-wheel o. The blocks i are formed with inclines, which serve to withdraw the rollers p from the groove h, and the stud d from the apertures in the disk e. The cam n is arranged so as to withdraw the operative studs d on the completion of a revolution of the wheel c. In the printing-machine, two tappet shafts are employed, the wheels c being driven by gearing from the main driving-shaft. The impression cylinder is driven by a further train from the driving-shaft, and is also provided with a spur-wheel for driving the printing-rollers arranged around it.

Granted: 1911-01-05
Abstract: 17,713. Huckle, E. A. July 26. [Cognate Application, 17,981/10.] Moving and changing apparatus; rotary apparatus. - The movement of a ship, conveyance, door, swing-sign, or other means of support causes a rolling body f, Figs. 4 and 6, to rotate an advertising cylinder either by direct action or through the medium of a wheel or set of arms d, Fig. 4, a vertical or horizontal screw or helix s, Fig. 6, or vertical rotary vanes. The casing may be stationary, and the rolling bodies, helices, vanes, or wheel may themselves bear advertisements. A disk b, Fig. 4, may be driven by the shaft of the rotating arms through a ratchet mechanism so as to cause the movement of the advertisements to occur only in one direction. This may also be effected by the rolling body striking the arm d at a hinged end e, which bends backwards only against the action of a spring. An hexagonal collar, engaging a flat spring, may be fixed upon the spindle of the advertising- disk to ensure that the advertisements will be displayed accurately at the opening or openings in the casing. Bells may be provided in the casing so as to be sounded by the rolling bodies or other moving parts of the mechanism. The device may rotate a disk, bearing the representation of a hand upon it, or else a pointer, which points to the various advertisements. A number of these modifications of the apparatus may be used together. If desired, the helices or the like may be carried upon the outside of a revolving drum.

Title: Improvements in Guns with Recoiling Barrels.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
IPC: F41A25/16
Filed: 1911-10-18
Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 23,023. Bloxam, A. G., [Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik]. Oct. 18. Recoil apparatus. - Relates to guns in which the trunnions are placed near the breechblock, and consists in so proportioning the masses of the moving parts that the centre of gravity of the system is maintained near the trunnions during recoil and run out, and at different elevations. In the form shown in Fig. 1, as the .barrel. a recoils, it draws forward the brake cylinder g by means of the drawmembers e, and so compresses the run - out spring i. The masses of the barrel a and brake cylinder g are such that, during motion, their centre of gravity lies near the trunnions d. In one modification, the draw - members e are replaced by a rack on the barrel a engaging a pinion on the cradle b, which gears on the other side with a parallel rack on the brake cylinder g. In another, a screw-threaded rack on the barrel a engages an externally screw-threaded nut, secured in the cradle b against axial displacement, whose internal threads engage an external quick-pitch screw-thread on the exterior of the brake cylinder g, which is prevented from rotating. In a third, the whole cradle is adapted to slide on recoil in a fixed guide, and constitutes the forwardly moving mass, the motion of the parts being produced by racks on the barrel and cradle engaging, on opposite sides, a fixed pinion on the guide. In the form shown in Figs. 11 and 12, pistons k<2> on recoil force liquid from the cylinders m<1>, m<2> into the cylinder l placed above it, thereby advancing the heavy mass b<1> against an air cushion in front of it. The liquid displaced from the cylinders m<1>, m<2> by the piston-rods is adapted to enter a cylinder a<2> from which it is forced on the return stroke by the spring-pressed piston a'. The pistons k<2> are perforated to permit the passage of fluid from one side to the other. The mass b<1> may be simply a solid cylinder, or it may have a cylindrical boring c' in which slides a cone-shaped or grooved rod d', the combination acting in the usual manner as a runout brake. In a modification of this form, the moving mass b is a brake cylinder, the pistonrod of which is fixed to the rear end of the cylinder l, and the coned or grooved rod is adapted to move with the brake cylinder, and slides in a cylindrical boring in the piston-rod. This last arrangement may be modified by replacing the air cushion in the cylinder l by a helical spring, and in this case the cylinder l is placed below the brake cylinder. A further modification of the same arrangement consists in adapting the fixed run-out brake-rod to slide in a cylindrical boring in the piston-rod k attached to the barrel.
