Title: Combined Time and Percussion Fuzes for Artillery Projectiles.
IPC: F42C9/14
Filed: 1911-07-10
Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 15,980. Rheinische Metallwaaren-und Maschinenfabrik. Sept. 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Projectiles ; projectile fuses. -Relates to fuses in which a cocked spring hammer is released on impact by a member which is made sensitive, so as to be displaced even when the target is weak or yielding such as a balloon. According to the invention, this member is capable of being displaced by a time fuse as well as by impact. In the form shown, a slide e after being released by the combustion of a charge o, Fig, 2, ignited by the time fuse will be pushed in when a head k meets the target, or when the time fuse ignites a powder charge 4, Fig. 1, whichever happens first. In either case, segments t are removed from their conical seats v, and, on being opened out by springs u, Fig. 4, they release the pellet p which is then thrown against a firing-pin f by a spring r. The rearward motion of the slide e also brings a detonator x into operative position within the casing y. Accidental explosion of the detonator case in the safe position blows off a seal 1. The time fuse also ignites, through a tube 7, a material for tracing the flight of the projectile; this ignition is arranged to take place when the projectile has still some 1000 metres to travel. During transport, the fuse is covered by a cap m.

Inventor: DENNE MARK THOMAS
IPC: A43D83/00
Filed: 1911-09-21
Granted: 1912-10-21
Abstract: 20,901. Denne, M. T. Sept. 21. Heels, machines for. - The table of a heelcompressing machine, the upper part only of which is shown, is a u t omatically made to swing outwards during its recession from a fixed platen, in order that a blank may be placed in position conveniently. The table 18 carries the heel seat die 20 and the breast die 19, which serve as guides to the correct placing of the heel blank; the platen or fixed cross - head 3 carries the heel tread die 17; while the portions 16 of the mould whereby the outside of the heel is formed are carried by guides 15 on the fixed cross-head 3. The movable cross-head comprises a cylindrical shaft 5 fixed between slides 4 working on pillars 2 carrying the fixed cross-head 3. A saddle 21 carries the table 18, and a saddle 22 articulated to the upper member 6 of a toggle mechanism imparts movement to the cross-head. Straps 23 secure the saddles 21, 22 to the shaft 5, the saddle 21 being arranged so that it may swing outwards to a limited extent to place the table 18 in position for folding a blank. This movement of the table is effected as the cross-head moves downwards after compressing a heel, by means of arms 25, projecting rearwards from the saddle 21, rollers on which run in horizontal grooves in a block 28 on a rod 29, which is spring supported and restrained on the rear of the machine, and limited as to its downward movement by set-screws 33, so that the table first moves downwards and then swings outwards while completing its descent. The side dies 16 are actuated, as the movable cross-head rises, by the links 12, which are connected by adjustable eccentric pins to the slides 4. A plate 44 engages the table 18 to prevent it from being thrust forward by the pressure to which the heel blank is submitted. The compressed blank is automatically ejected by a plunger 37, which is actuated by a fixed tappet 43 as the cross-head descends.

Title: Improvements in Crushing and Grinding Mills.
Inventor: MOHS JULIUS
IPC: B02C4/16
Filed: 1911-10-17
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 22,917. Mohs, J. Oct. 17. Roller mills; roller-and-breast mills. - In a mill for crushing and grinding corn &c., plates 18, Fig. 1, are arranged below the yieldinglymounted fluted breasts 11, with their inner edges in close proximity to the rollers 2, 3, so as to prevent the discharge of unreduced material when the breasts are moved away from the rollers by intervening hard particles. The plates 18 are adjustable on the supporting plates 17, and the breasts 11 are carried by pivoted arms and pressed towards the rollers by adjustable weights 12 carried on arms 13 which are mounted on shafts 14 having arms 15 connected by links 16 to the breasts. The rollers may be made of stone, emery, or metal, and may be fluted or toothed. If toothed rollers are used, they are preferably formed by threading toothed rings, with or without spacing-rings, on a core, on which they are clamped by means of a screwcap ; the rings may be at right-angles to, or at an angle to, the axis, and may be straight or corrugated. A rake 23 in the feed-hopper 22 is oscillated by means of a revolving disk with a sinuous edge, and a roof-shaped bridge 26 with magnets 33 is arranged under the lips 21 of the hopper to guide the materials to the rollers. When it is desired to only slightly reduce the materials, a pivoted guide-plate 19 is turned up as shown in dotted lines, and a guide-plate 20 on the arm of the breast of the roller 2 is lowered so as to close the passage 32, also the breasts 11 and plates 18 are retracted, so that the materials pass over the roller 3, along the plates 11, 19, between the rollers, where reduction is effected, and finally along the other breast 11. If a finely-ground product is required, the plates 11 are allowed to act and the plates 18 are restored to their normal position, so that the material is ground successively by both rollers. In a modification, four rollers are provided, and the pivoted breast-plates are connected in pairs to rods which are connected to weighted levers. Fig. 9 shows a mill with only one roller and a breastplate which is acted upon by a helical spring 34 encircling a rod 35 pivoted at 37; the rod passes through an arm 38 on the breast-plate, and the spring is adjustable by means of a nut 36. In another arrangement with only one roller, suitable for home use, the plate 18 is extended so as to form part of the casing of the mill, and the breast-plate is connected by means of its arm to a shaft acted upon by a weighted lever. The machines may be used for reducing and grinding bones, coal, wood, corn, metals, &c.

Granted: 1900-01-01
Abstract: 24,875. Fischer, C. H., and Zimmermann, R. Dec. 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Drawings to Specification. Enamels; enamelling.-In making incandescence filaments by coating a wire with an enamel which prevents access of air, and with which may be incorporated ordinary light - emitting compounds, or materials such as strontia to give coloured light, according to one method, tungsten wire is drawn continuously over rollers through a coating-bath and a tubular drying- chamber, through which air is passed, kept at about 100‹ C. The bath may consist of whitelead enamel, kept in a thin liquid state by adding an oil such as turpentine, or of known fused enamels, made from borax, China-clay, porcelain, and feldspar. Light-emitting oxides may be added, such as a mixture of 60 parts of ' calcium magnesia,' 35 parts of thoria, and 5 parts of ceria. In another method, a plastic coating is applied by drawing the wire centrally through a squirting-orifice, and drying at a lower temperature than before. A mixture of ' calcium magnesia' with gum, or starch solution, or soft soap may be used, with or without lightemitting materials. In a third method, the coating contains light-emitting materials which are themselves impervious to air, and may be colloidal thorium nitrate solution and alcohol, to which other light-emitting oxides may be added. Mantles for combined electric and gas lighting are woven loosely from uncoated metal wire, preferably in a continuous length, and are then dipped, so that the coating insulates the crossed strands.
