Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 21,413. Justice, P. M., [Ross, Sir C. H. A. F. L.]. Sept. 14. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breechblock.-Consists in a special firing - mechanism for automatic guns, especially of the kind described in Specification 1610/10, the main objects being, (1) to prevent firing when the breech is not properly locked, (2) to prevent actuation of the sear after the discharge of the gun and before the trigger has been released, and (3) to ensure a long easy pull of the trigger. The sear 22 has an upwardly projecting nose 21 at the front, which registers with a notch 20 in the breech-block only when the breech is locked. The sear is capable of a sliding movement on its pivot pin 31, and carries a spring pawl 41 which engages a projection 49 on the trigger. The end of the pawl 41 is formed with a recess 46. During the first part of the pull of the trigger, the projection 49 rides up the side of the recess from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Fig. 2, thus ensuring a long easy pull. A further pull releases the end 28 of the sear from the firing-pin. During the recoil, the whole sear is forced back until the pawl 41 is disengaged from the projection 49 on the trigger, as shown in Fig. 3.

Title: Improvements in Sectional Boilers.
Inventor: BUNDEY ALBERT FRANCIS
Filed: 1911-02-06
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 3013. Bundey, A. F. Feb. 6. Closed solid-fuel stoves; smoke, preventing; air supply, regulating.-In a sectional boiler, ribs e forming part of the sections extend into the fuel - chamber and enclose a hot-air channel f. The lower perforated wall of this channel lies over the inclined grate c, and thus combustion products, being caused to pass downwards, flow over the incandescent fuel on the grate, and are mixed with air issuing from the perforations g. The hot gases eventually reach the chimney by way of the flues d. The primary air and secondary air are controlled by a single damper k having two apertures so arranged that when either supply is increased the other is diminished. A damper n allows further adjustment of the proportion between the two supplies, and a damper p independently controls the total supply.

Granted: 1912-03-04
Abstract: 5497. Godwin, B. March 4. Clutches, friction.-Relates to double-acting segment friction clutches operated by right and left handed screws. Segments K, J are tightened upon two rings Z, carried by the part C, by screwed spindles I carrying worm wheels H with which engage worm spindles G carried by the sliding part L. Longitudinal movement of the part L rotates the worm-wheel and operates the clutch. Each spindle G carries a pinion P which gears into a central loose pinion Q, so that when any one spindle is rotated by a nut R to adjust for wear, all the spindles turn in unison. Projections U are formed on the part A, which carries the spindles I and is secured to the shaft B, in order to form an additional support for the segments K. A plate V screwed to the part L excludes dust.

Abstract: 7150. Pankhurst, V. H. March 22. Corrugating; bending dies and formers.-In a machine for corrugating tubes circumferentially by spinning, the tube is clamped on either side of the ring to be operated, and these clamps are forced together while a spinning-tool is pressing the metal inwards. A hollow mandrel a having a reduced extension a<1> is mounted between the centres of a lathe, and carries sliding sleeves j, l, o. The sleeve o carries spring-pressed arms p which are expanded to clamp the tube w by the cone sleeve l, which is operated by rotation of the nut u through the keys t, w and spindle m. The sleeve s screws on the sleeve o, and is adapted to clamp the turned-in edge w<1> of the tube w against the levers p. The tube w is clamped to the sleeve j by the ring x, and then, while the whole is rotated and a spinning-tool pressed at z, the sleeve j is fed to the right by rotation of the hand-wheel g. The depth of the corrugation is regulated by the flange y. The sleeve s is then removed, the clamp x loosened, the levers p closed together by turning the nut u and the sleeves j, o moved in turn to the left, the clamp x is then tightened, the levers p expanded, and the second corrugation made as shown in Fig. 1 (Provl.). The Provisional Specification describes also a spinning - tool which is used to form the corrugations, and consists of a chain of rollers tightened by hand-screws.
