Title: Improvements in Controlling Apparatus for Hydraulically Worked Gun Mountings.
IPC: F41A25/02
Filed: 1909-08-13
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 18,669. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., Matthews, R., and Wale, C. Aug. 13. Recoil apparatus.- Relates to hydraulic apparatus for governing the recoil and for running the gun in and out, of the kind in which a piston is provided with a spring - loaded valve which opens during recoil and closes against the service pressure for running the gun out. According to the invention, an automatic valve is employed free to move in a chamber which is formed in the piston, a n d is constantly in communication with the run-out end of the cylinder, the opening of such valve at the commencement of recoil being opposed by the pressure in the chamber and bv a spring, and governed by a relief valve fitted in the chamber. Fig. 1 shows one construction in which an annular valve c slides in a chamber d, which communicates through passages a<4>, a<5> with the pressure side of the piston a. The fluid, during recoil in the direction of the arrow, on reaching a predetermined pressure, opens a relief valve e and thus allows the valve c to open against the action of a spring h, the fluid in the chamber d escaping through a passage a<3>. At the end of recoil, the valve c closes and remains closed, when service pressure is admitted to the right-hand side of the piston to run the gun out, owing to this pressure acting in the chamber d on an enlarged area above the valve c. Fig. 5 shows a construction in which the spring h, that closes the valve c at the end of recoil, also serves to adjust the load on the relief valve e. The chamber d above the valve c, as before, communicates with the righthand side of the piston a by passages c<1> in order to keep the valve c closed during run-out when the service pressure is insufficient to lift the valve c. During recoil, the pressure set up in the right-hand side of the cylinder is sufficient to lift the valve e, and allow the valve c to open, liquid escaping from the chamber d through passages c<2>. The application of the invention to run-in and run-out gear, of the kind in which a hollow ram attached to the gun works within separate cylinders placed in line, is also described.

Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D61/00
Filed: 1911-04-04
Granted: 1912-05-06
Abstract: 8427. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. April 4. Loose - nailing. - A tack-driving mechanism. for inserting holding tacks in preparing lasted boots for sewing, has a driver 10 operating in a head 11 to give a single blow when a treadle is depressed. The tacks are fed singly below the driver, and, as the boot is held below the machine in an inclined position tor convenience in removing the lasting-tacks, a deflector is arranged to turn each tack as it is driven, in order that it may be inserted in a plane normal to the sole and passing through the line of feed of the boot. The deflector 17, Fig. 11, is pivoted in a block 15 mounted in the head 11. A spring 18 causes the deflector 17 to project into the path of the driver 10, thus causing each tack to be driven in an inclined direction. Stops are provided to limit the movement of the deflector. The tacks are left projecting slightly from the surface of the boot. The driver is raised against a spring by a continuously-rotating disk 63 having a cam 64, which engages a shoulder 65 on a rod 66 operating the driver 10. The driver is retained in its raised position by a latchdog 67, which engages a notch 68 in the shoulder 65. The latchdog is pivoted at 71 and is connected at its lower end to a link 73. The link slides in a casing 72, and is provided with a downwardly projecting part 74, which engages one arm 75 of a bell-crank lever, the other arm of which is pivotally connected to a lever 78 so that, upon longitudinal movement of the rod, the bellcrank is oscillated to disengage the latch 67 and to allow a tack to be driven. The rod is moved longitudinally by an oscillating forked arm 79, which is provided with a spring-pressed dog 80 adapted to engage a shoulder 81 on the rod 78. The arm 79 is oscillated during the operation of the machine by a cam on the shaft 64. The rod 78 is normally held out of engagement with the dog by a yoke member 88 mounted on a stud shaft 89, which slides in a bearing 90. The yoke member has an offset portion in which a stud 91 is screwed. The stud 91 is engaged by an arm 93 on depression of a treadle, thus moving the rod 78 into position for engagement by the dog 80. To prevent continuous driving of tacks even though the treadle is held depressed, the longitudinal movement of the rod 78 brings a stop 95 to one side of the yoke piece 88, and, when the rod 78 is returned by a spring, the yoke is carried with it until the pin 91 is moved from under the arm 93. A spring 97 then forces the yoke from the stop 95, and turns it to hold the rod 78 clear of the dog 80. When the treadle is released, allowing the arm 93 to rise, the spring 97 draws the yoke back in readiness for the stud 91 to be engaged by the arm 93. Specification 16,608/05, [Class 17, Boots &c.], is referred to.
