Abstract: 10,849. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Wale, C. May 4. Loading-appliances. -Relates to chain rammers of the kind which can bend in one direction only, and consists in disposing the rammer above the gun, and in constructing the rammer-head so that the direction of thrust on the chain during ramming will be maintained approximately parallel to the gun-axis, althongh the projectile tilts on entering the gun-chamber. The rammer may be driven from the rear end, and be arranged and controlled as described in Specification 20,126/09. The rammer-chain c is housed in a casing d above the gun a, which casing is connected at its front end to the gunslide b at b<1>, and slides in a bracket a<1> on the gun during the recoil and run-out after firing. The rammer-head h is jointed to the first link of the chain c by two ' quadrant-levers ' h<3>, and has two hook-shaped side-arms h<6> pivoted to it and connected to the levers h<3> by transverse pins passing through guide-slots in the sides of the head h. When the projectile tilts forwards, the rammer-head inclines with it, and the hooks h<6> engage with the base of the projectile and keep the head from rising.

Abstract: 6086. Voris, A. March 11. Focusing-devices; cameras, bellows for.-Relates to cameras in which the focusing-screen 15, Fig. 1, forms part of the blind shutter in front of the plate 191, and in which the lens is moved back a corresponding distance and the viewing- aperture 29 closed immediately before the exposure takes place. The focusing - screen is viewed by means of mirrors 22, 25. The lens mount 5, Fig. 2, is connected to the sleeve 4 by a pin 7 and slot 8 and is normally extended to the focusing position by the spring 9. The bellows frame 31 is pressed against the edge 34 of the camera by the spring 35. To make an exposure the knob 37, Fig. 3, is pressed, thereby turning the lever 38 and rotating the spring roller 14, which operates by winding a connecting-cord 13 to retract and set the lens. A rod 42 is also drawn down thereby, through the arm 45, first bringing the mirror 22 down to close the focusing-opening, and then, through an arm 50, operating the release lever 47 of the shutter. The parts are returned after exposure by the springs 49, 55, and 9, the spring 9 being stronger than the spring on the roller 14. On closing the camera, the mirror 22 is closed but the shutter release 47 is not operated. The bed-plate B first engages the end 47<1> of the lever 47<a> which tilts the lever 50 out of the path of the shutter lever 47. The lever 38 is then rocked through the arm 41, thereby lowering the rod 42 and closing the mirror 22. The viewing-frame 20 folds down on top of the camera and is held by a spring latch 21.
