Title: Improvements in Automatic Firearms.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
IPC: F41A3/14
Filed: 1910-10-19
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 24,241. Imray, O., [Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Co.]. Oct. 19. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breechblock; sights.-Relates to automatic pistols of the type described in Specification 9871/97, in which projecting ribs on the barrel are adapted to fit into corresponding recesses in the breechslide so as to lock the two together in the firing- position, but to be unlocked on recoil, and consists in detailed improvements in the breech mechanism. The breech slide c, bolt c<1>, and reaction-spring housing c<2>, which are formed integral, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, are adapted to be removed from the frame in a forward direction only, and to be engaged at the rearward limit of recoil by a fixed abutment a<4>, Fig. 10, on the frame. In assembling the parts, the barrel is inserted in the tube c, Fig. 4, and locked thereto by the bushing h, which is slidden rearwards into position and rotated so that the projection h<2>, Fig. 12, engages with the groove c<2> in the slide c. In this position of the bushing, the projection h<1> is vertical, and is adapted to form an abutment for the annular shoulder of the plug f, which is thus secured in the enlarged end of the housing c<2> and receives the thrust of the recoil-spring e. The slide and barrel are then mounted rearwardlv on to the frame until the link d can receive the locking- pin i, which causes the barrel to swing about the forward bushing h on recoil, so as then to become disengaged from the breech - slide. Further recoil of the barrel is prevented by the lug b<1> as shown in Fig. 4. The pin i, Figs. 18 and 19, is formed with a handle j, which carries a projection l<1> adapted to be seated underneath the slide c so as to lock the pin in position. An arm j<2> projects through a slot in the frame into the path of the cartridge-lifter, which causes the projection l to enter a recess in the breechslide when the magazine is empty, and thus to lock the breech-slide in its open position. Owing to the inclination of the barrel when in the firing position, as shown in Fig. 1, the use of a specially low fore-sight is possible.

Abstract: 10,858. Plauson, H., Zsvetaeff, W., and Tistchenko, G. May 4. Electrode, induction, and resistance furnaces. - A current path through a charge is constricted at one or more points by one or more partitions so that heat is developed almost exclusively at the constrictions, which may be so narrow that arcs are formed thereat. The partitions when hot are sufficiently conductive to regulate the concentration of heat in the constrictions. For copper, aluminium, and like furnaces, the partitions may be of fire-brick; for iron and nickel furnaces quartz, magnesite, dolomite, or metallic oxides may be used. The edges of the partitions at the constrictions may be replaceable. The constrictions may be slots or square or round holes in the partitions, or gaps below them, Fig. 8, in which case the floor B is inclined, and may consist of carbon or a poorly conductive metal, in contact with the electrodes b, c so as to act as a starting-resistance. Inert or reducing gas may be supplied to this furnace. A similar furnace, with a non-conductive floor, may be used for the Bessemer and other refining processes, air being forced through the gaps by applying suction and compression to alternate compartments. A hopper f Fig. 11, containing ore, may form the partition in a chamber supplied with reducing gas for smelting; a tapping- passage k arranged so that the constriction is kept full during working may be provided with an electrode c' connected to one of the main electrodes b, c or, if polyphase currents are used, to a neutral conductor. Fig. 12 shows a furnace having a rod l vertically adjustable in a slot in a partition to regulate the size of the constriction. A three-phase furnace may consist of a cylindrical chamber having radial partitions between the electrodes; there is either a hole in each partition, for delta connexions, or a common central gap between the inner ends of the partitions, for star connexions. An induction furnace may have a single annular hearth with constrictions, for single-phase current, or as shown in Fig. 20 may have three cores o and primary windings p for three-phase current, the constrictions being adjustable by means of slides q.

Inventor: YARROW ALFRED FERNANDEZ
IPC: F23K5/20
Filed: 1912-01-06
Granted: 1913-01-06
Abstract: 527. Yarrow, A. F. Jan. 6. Oil supply.-In apparatus for preheating by steam the fuel of oil-fired steam-generators, the oil is maintained at a substantially constant temperature by means whereby the level of the water of condensation within the heater may be raised or lowered according to the rate of consumption of the fuel in order to vary the heating-surface exposed to the action of the steam. The oil outlet g from the heating- chamber a leads to a casing i which surrounds a chamber j containing an expansible fluid and closed by a flexible diaphragm k. The outlet for the condensed steam from the chamber a is controlled by a valve m, which is connected by a rod o, n to the diaphragm k, so that any change in the temperature of the oil will vary the rate of leakage of the water of condensation and consequently the surface of the oil-tubes d, e exposed to the steam. The parts of the rod o, n are separated by a wedge p which can be adjusted to vary the length of the rod. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the outlet c is connected to a cylindrical valve casing q having an outlet in the form of a vertical slot r. In the casing q is mounted a segment of a cylinder s having an outlet in the shape of an inclined slot t, so that when the cylinder s is rotated, the point of intersection of the slots r, t will be varied, and hence the water-level in the chamber a will be correspondingly raised or lowered. In a modified construction in which the heater is vertical, a series of outlets is provided so that the level of the water within the chamber a can be maintained at any one of several definite levels.
