Granted: 1911-03-03
Abstract: 5390. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. March 3. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Consists in improved means for retracting the firing-pin prior to the commencement of the lateral motion of the lock frame in the box slide in breech-loading guns of the type in which a box slide, mounted in a swinging carrier, carries a laterallymovable lock frame. In Fig. 3 is illustrated a simultaneous electric and percussion lock, in which the box slide A supports the lock frame B, which is connected by a link D to the crank pinion C. The lock frame has two rearward extensions, one B<1> containing the needle E, striker E', and main spring E' <Î>, while the other B' contains the lock guide-bolt Bx. The engagement between the bolt B<Î> and the link D allows sufficient lost motion for the retraction of the firing-pin before the lock frame is moved. The retracting-lever F is pivoted to the casing B<2>, and is provided with a stud f<1> engaging an elongated slot f<2> in the locking-lever G, which is pivoted at g to the link D. A slot b<Î> in the bolt B<Î> allows the lever F to pass through to engage the sleeve E <Î> surrounding the firing-pin. A plate H attached to the crank pinion has two bevel surfaces h, h' perpendicular to each other and adapted to act upon the lever G to retract the firing-pin, the surface h acting during the normal operation of the breech, and the surface h when the lock is actuated independently of the breech mechanism. The trigger J and sear J<1> are mounted between lugs which connect the extensions B', B'. The percussion striker is secured to a sheath E'. The trigger lever, mounted on the same axis as the trigger J, is operated by a lanyard for percussion firing, and by a special push-rod device for combined percussion and electric firing, the push-rod device being actuated by the device shown in Specification 6654/08.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Producing Electrical Impulse Charges for Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony.
Inventor: EISENSTEIN SIMON
IPC: H01T9/00

Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 16,364. Eisenstein, S. July 8. [Addition to 10,019/08.] Electric oscillations, producing; spark - gap apparatus.-Relates to the method of producing high - frequency oscillations described in the parent Specification in which a sparkless oscillation-circuit is caused to oscillate by unidirectional impulses, consisting of the first half-oscillation of a condenser-circuit containing a spark-gap, subsequent oscillations being prevented by a valve-rectifier inserted in the condenser-circuit. According to the present invention, the use of an alternating supply current is rendered possible by the arrangement of two rectifiers 4, 5 in series, and in opposite directions, in the condenser - circuit 1. The adjustment of the rectifiers is such that the first half-oscillation (or in some cases the first two or three half-waves) is able to break down the opposing rectifier and to flow freely through the other, subsequent half-waves being unable to pass. Specification 16,356 / 10 is also referred to.

Granted: 1911-09-11
Abstract: 16,468. Boyd, M. B. B. July 9. Movable-abutment type; working-fluid supply.-In an internal-combustion engine of the geared-vane type, intermittent rotary motion is imparted to the compression vane through electric clutch gearing, and means are provided for positively expelling the combustion products. Two power vanes 7, 8 and two abutment vanes 9, 10, Figs. 2 and 3, are carried on hollow sleeves 11, 15, respectively, the sleeve 11 being keyed to the main shaft 1, and the sleeve 15 being driven intermittently by gear wheels 20, 21, 25, 26, 27 from the fly-wheel 6, except when electro-magnets 33 are energized and the wheels are moved axially to disengage the clutch wheel 27 from the geared part 28, the fly-wheel and teeth 37, 38 engage to lock the gears and the sleeve 15 and vanes 9 and 10 against motion. The magnets 33 are energized intermittently by means of brush contacts 109, 110, Fig. 8, carried by an adjustable ring 128 and making contact with metal segments on a drum on the main shaft 1. Other brushes 117, 118 are shown and are used for a second engine on the same shaft. The positions of the brushes may be adjusted to vary the timing of the explosions (the ignition devices being included in the circuits) and the intermittent motion of the abutment vanes by moving the holders 111, 112 in the slotted ring 129. The exhaust ports are controlled by pivoted spring-pressed valves 68, Fig. 3, which are locked in the closed position during combustion by means of wedges 69 on rock-shaft 70, which are moved by arms operated by cam surfaces on the fly-wheel rim. After explosion the wedges 69 are moved and release the valves 68, which are opened by the pressure of the exploded gases passing thereby through the exhaust ports. Additional exhaust valves 96 are also provided. As the power vanes 7, 8 move round, they trip catches 58 which release shutters 46 and allow the shutters to move into the cylinder to confine the exploded gases until they have passed out into the exhaust. The shutters are moved outwards again by the abutment vanes, and thus wind up springs on shafts 51 carrying wheels 50 rotated by the toothed shutters 46. Valves, distributing and cut-off.-The admission valves 85, Fig. 2, are operated by a cam 90 on the main shaft. Packing drums &c.-Spring-pressed packing- pieces 136, Fig. 3, are provided for the vanes. and lubricating-passages are also provided therein. Spring-pressed packing-rings 141, 142, 145, 146, Fig. 2, are also provided between the rotor and sides of the cylinder.

Mules.-In a click-motion, which may be employed with the winding-ratchet, the backing- off ratchet, and the low-speed ratchet motions of self-acting mules, a series of pawls 1, Figs. 1 and 2, is carried by the usual click-plate 3, and each pawl bears a projection 8 which engages with a slot 6 in an additional plate 5 loose on the tin roller shaft 7. A pin 9 on the click-plate 3 passes through a slot 10 in a plate 5 and is engaged by the end of a spring 13 mounted on a sleeve 12 loose on the shaft 7. A stud 11 mounted on the plate 5 also engages the spring. The pawls are brought into engagement with the ratchet-wheel 2 by a relative rotary movement of the plate 5 with respect to the plate 3 caused by the tightening of the winding-chain on the commencement of the inward run. Relative movement in the reverse direction causes the pawls to be disengaged. The plate 5 may be made in two or more parts to permit easy removal.
