Title: Improvements in Electric Switches.
Inventor: FURNEAUX HENRY JOHN
IPC: H01H9/32
Filed: 1911-08-01
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 17,502. Furneaux, H. J., and Rock, W. B. Aug. 1. Switches, locking awd unlocking.-In switches for opening and closing the ignition circuits of motor-vehicles, of the type that are rendered operative by means of a key-actuated member so as to prevent unauthorized operation, the key-actuated member is in the form of an angularly-moving tongue adapted to be interposed between the pivoted switch-lever and the fixed contacts, and serving, when in the operative position, to prevent the ignition circuits from being closed when the switch-lever is operated in the usual manner. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, an insulating-tongue m, pivoted at o within the casing, is adapted to be turned by means of a key to cover the fixed contacts f, so that, if the switch-lever c is operated with the intention of closing the ignition circuits, the switch tongue which lies within the casing rides upon the insulating-member In the case of magneto-ignition in which to discontinue the ignition the magneto is shortcircuited by the switch, the key-operated member is made of conducting-material. In an alternative form for magneto-ignition, a single, fixed contact strip extending over the whole path of the switch tongue is employed so that the magneto is short-circuited when the switch tongue is in contact with it. To close the ignition circuit, a key-actuated insulating- member is operated to cover the part of the fixed contact so that only when the switch tongue is upon the insulating-member is the ignition circuit closed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Feed Mechanism for Magazine Percussion Firing Locks for Ordnance.
IPC: F41A9/05
Filed: 1912-01-25
Granted: 1913-01-27
Abstract: 1998. Beardmore & Co., W., Bremberg, A., and Banks, A. Z. Jan. 25. Ordnance b r e e c h mechanism.-Relates to magazines and d feedmechanism f o r percussion primer locks. According to the invention, the primers G are fed automatically from a gravity magazine L by a rotary cylindrical feeder K, K<1> journaled in the lock frame. When the breech-bolt of the lock is moved rearwards to uncover the vent, a stud. C<4> on the bolt-actuating slide C moves along a groove K<2> in the rear part K<1> of the feeder. The groove is straight except at its rear end, as shown in Fig. 1, so that the feeder is rotated to receive a primer in the recess K<3> as the slide C completes its rearward movement, and back again to carry the primer into the loading position in front of the breech-bolt as the slide commences the return movement. The feeder cuts off all communication between the magazine and the vent, so that an explosion in the primer magazine cannot pass to the charge in the gun. A new primer can be inserted by hand through the ejection aperture A<4> only when the recess K<3> is downward, i.e., when the gun-breech is practically locked, the movements of the slide C being derived from those of the breech-actuating mechanism.

Abstract: 24,014. Burgdorf, C. H. F. Oct. 21. Grab -]buckets.-Comprises a device for locking and releasing the grab jaws in single-chain grabs. The two jaws b, c are pivotally supported on a shaft a on which the chain wheel is mounted as shown in Fig. 1. The links s are pivoted to the jaws, and at g to a ring z connected to the sleeve h by pins m, which are at right-angles to the pivot pins g, as shown in Fig. 3, the whole forming a cardan suspension for the grab. The sleeve h forms with intermediate and outer sleeves i, k the principal parts of the locking-mechanism. The sleeve i carries weighted elbow-levers q, the noses of which can project into slots in the sleeve h. The lower part of the sleeve h has projections n and its upper end is flanged at l. The outer sleeve k is flanged top and bottom at u and u<1>, while its bottom part is also formed with coned projections y. A separately suspended hood a is provided with spring-pressed hooks #. Fig. 3 shows the position of the locking members when the grab is raised full. The hooks # of the hood have been thrust back by the coned projections y and the hooks now engage under the sleeve k. On paying out the chain, the sleeve h moves down, and the elbow levers swing through the slots and engage the chain, as shown in Fig. 4. The chain is further paid out to open the grab, the levers q permitting a downward motion of the chain. On hoisting, the hooks back and abuts against the lower part of the sleeves i, h are raised until the part x forces the sleeve k. The grab may then be lowered open. On coming to the ground, the projections n engage the elbow levers and move them back, as shown in Fig. 3, permitting the chain to be wound in and the grab closed.

Abstract: 26,077. Stolte, A. Nov. 13. Filtering; impurities, separating from gases.- Furnace gases are purified by cooling them, by water-spray if necessary, well below dew-point, removing the water of condensation, re - heating, and filtering. The Figure shows an apparatus for carrying out the invention in which the cooled gases are reheated by the incoming gases, which thus undergo a preliminary cooling. The gases enter by the trunk 10 and pass through a heat - exchanger 8 and a trunk 13, opening at the bottom into a water-seal 41, and divided by a partition 15 reaching nearly to the level of the water. From the trunk 13 the gases pass to the cooler and washer 20, in which they are subjected to sprays 31, and pass through scrubbers 32 and a tubular cooler 23. The water from the cooler 23 is used in the sprays 31. From the cooler 23 the gases pass over a water-seal 37, through a trunk 40 inside the trunk 13, through the heat-exchanger 8 and through a trunk 46 inside the trunk 10 to the filter 51. The filter 51 consists of a set of tubes of cloth &c. connected to a fixed partition 50 and a movable partition 52 which can be jerked by an eccentric 54 and a bell-crank lever 57 to cleanse the filter.

Granted: 1914-05-26
Abstract: 9806. Goldberg, S. H. April 26. Compound fabrics; ornamenting coated fabrics; coating webs. -A process of producing roofing and like material covered with sand, gravel, or other powdered material applied so as to resemble shingles, tiles, &c. consists in coating one surface of a backing with adhesive, applying a non-adhesive substance, such as powdered mica, or a pattern of skeleton paper &c. to the adhesive surface, and then applying the sand &c. which adheres only to the adhesive portion of the surface. The backing-material 14 is fed between rollers 10, 11, where it receives adhesive from a heated reservoir 15; it then passes between a roller 21 and a printing-roller 22, which applies the mica &c. in pattern form. The mica &c. is fed to the roller 22 by a roller 25 revolving in a trough 23. The sand, gravel, &c. is fed from a hopper 27 and the coated web is passed round a roller 29, where surplus material is discharged into a receptacle 31, and then round rollers 30, 34, 33 to pressure rollers 35, 36. A strengthening-layer 37 of burlap &c. may be applied to the underside of the hacking by passing it between the rollers 10, 11, and applying to it an adhesive bv means of the roller 11 dipping in a heated trough 39 of adhesive, which passes through the burlap and unites the two webs. A brush 41 may apply a non-adhesive material to the underside of the burlap. In addition to the sand, gravel, &c., dust &c. may be applied to the face of the web 14 by means of a shoot 53. When, instead of a pattern of non-adhesive mica &c., a pattern of skeleton paper &c. is applied, the printing-apparatus is replaced by the apparatus shown in Fig. 6, of which the lower roller 51, carrying the skeleton pattern P and a supporting-backing b, is situated a little above the web 14 between the roller 10 and hopper 27. The roller 51 is removably mounted on a shaft 65 mounted in open bearings on supports 61, 62 which are slidably mounted on a shaft 56. The shaft 56 is supported by arms 55 depending from a beam 54. The supporting-backing b of the pattern web P is wound on a roller 71, while the web P is fed on to the backing 14. The roller 71 is removably mounted on a shaft 70 resting in open bearings on the arms 61, 62, and is rotated by the shaft 56 through gear-wheels 76, 75, 74. The wheel 76 is sufficiently wide to engage the wheel 75 in any position of the arms 61, 62 on the shaft 56. The backing b serves as a driving-belt for the roller 51. The speed of the roller 71 is regulated by means of a friction band 78 passing round a friction wheel 77 on the shaft 70 and fixed at one end to a bracket 79 and at the other end to a disk 80 eccentrically mounted on a shaft 81 and operated by a handle 82.
