Abstract: 2513. Schneider, E. Jan. 30. Couplings for road vehicles. - Relates to transport carriages for the barrels of dismounted field guns and to constructions of the barrel and slide to facilitate dismounting the gun. According to the invention, the barrelreceiving frame is provided with adjustable guide-wheels or rollers for the barrel, and, in one construction, the cradle of the gun-carriage also has adjustable rollers, for lifting the barrel clear of the slide when the connexion between these parts is broken by an axialrotation of the barrel. In a second construction, the frame of the transport-carriage is adapted to receive and guide the gun and cradle together. Figs. 2, 5, and 6 illustrate the first construction. The gun-barrel g is normally secured to the slide h by hooks g<2>, g<3> and a projection g<1> engaging respectively, hooks h<2>, h<3> and a recess h<1> in the slide. When, by rotation of the barrel g into the position shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the barrel and slide are disconnected, the barrel is raised off the slide by two vertically-adjustable rollers k carried by the cradle i of the gun-carriage. The barrel is temporarily retained in the disengaged position by a spring- bolt n. The transport-carriage a is brought into the transfer position, in which a pin p thereon enters a hole q in the cradle i, and rocks a lever r which lowers the barrel-retaining bolt n. Guide-rollers d, Fig. 6, carried by blocks c, vertically-adjustable in recesses in the barrelreceiving frame a, receive and guide the barrel g as it is run back on to the frame a, and when the transfer is completed, the blocks c are lowered until the barrel rests upon the rigid supports b<1>. Fig. 9 shows a transverse section of the frame of a transport carriage that receives both the gun and cradle.

Abstract: 9473. Cox, H. T. M., and Lamdin, W. H. April 22. Slipping, attachments to wheels for preventing.-A series of wedges carried by a support is displaced axially when side slip occurs so as to bring the wedges into engagement with the wheel with which they rotate. A drum F mounted on the chassis A or on the wheel carries a support E made in four sections and capable of rotating and sliding axially on the drum F. The support E carries four wedges C, the shanks of which have lugs C' engaging the overhanging edges of pockets formed in the support E by means of plates G and raised portions on the support. Springs D support the wedges in the pockets, and their radial position is adjusted by screws U. Two slippers K, mounted to slide on pins J on each drum F, are connected by a yoke L having a rod M adapted to slide in a tubular member N pivoted to the frame of a trailer wheel S. When side slip occurs, the trailer becomes relatively displaced, and the slippers K on one side of the vehicle push the support E outwards against the action of a spring H until the wedges engage the tyre. The wedges and their support then rotate with the wheel. The wedges are normally held stationary in the position shown by spinning catches W. The device described in the Provisional Specification differs in detail from that described above. In this modification, there are eight wedges to each wheel, which are mounted in separate radial members riveted to a collar capable of sliding and rotating on a stub shaft secured inside or outside the wheel. The collar, which is normally held away from the wheel by a coil spring, is grooved to receive a forked rod which is extended and universally jointed to the chassis. The rods on both sides of the vehicle are connected by transverse links near their pivoted ends to the arm of the trailer wheel. A member extends from a sleeve on the axle and engages the trailer arm, and by means of cords and pulleys this member may be operated to actuate the wedges on the axle and the trailer arm. The wedges can move both inwards and outwards radially, and are held in mid-position by springs engaging collars on their shanks.
