Title: Improvements in Cartridge Loading Machines.
Inventor: WALKER SAMUEL
IPC: F42B33/00
Filed: 1911-10-05
Granted: 1912-10-07
Abstract: 21,972. Walker, S. Oct. 5. Cartridge-loading machines.-Relates to machines in which the cartridge cases are carried in a travelling belt past the various feeding- devices, and consists in providing a belt with cartridge pockets disposed across the belt, and loading-tools disposed axially to the pockets, in combination with a shaped guide-plate for feeding the cases in the correct position and a plunger for inserting the cases into the pockets of the belt. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, cartridge cases placed in a heap on a tray a<1> are taken by a belt a<2> and dropped through a hole a' on to a shaped inclined plate a where incorrectly - directed cases swing round to the correct position. The cases then fall down a hole a<6> into a hopper b, Fig. 5, from which they are removed one at a time by a plunger c and inserted into the pockets d of a belt d<1>, Fig. 1; a shaped head c<2> on the plunger c raises the lowest but one case in the hopper to prevent jamming. The belt is moved forward by steps by a pawl l on a rocking lever i. The first operation is the capping of the case: The aps are fed down inclined planes to the hopper g, and are inserted in the case by a plunger f while the case is held by a gripper e<2>, e<3> worked by a pin e<1>, Fig. 7, secured to a slide e. The next operation is the filling of the case with explosive: this is performed in any convenient way, while the mouth of the case is pressed forward by a spring o into a hole m in the frame n; the spring o and the case are then retracted by a slide o<1>, which bears on the rim of the case, Finally, the projectile is inserted by a plunger t while the case is pressed forward by a spring t' as it was by the spring o, the case is clinched into a groove on the projectile by a tool u, and the finished cartridge ejected by a spring finger w<1> into a hopper x. During the bulleting operation, the bullets in the hopper s are kept up by a slide s' which, after each operation of the plunger t, is reciprocated outwards and inwards, to feed a new bullet and again to hold up the others; this reciprocation is performed by a cam s<2> and pins s' on a slide w. The various devices are worked from the main shaft k. The Provisional Specification also describes a knife for cutting cordite, and a reciprocating spring gripper for feeding the cordite to the loading-tool which also inserts a wad.

Abstract: 27,287. Lourdin, L. M. G. Dec. 5. Vehicular lamps and search-lights, directing.- In devices for turning the head lamps of motorvehicles, or search-lights, about a vertical axis and an horizontal axis by means of a single operating-lever, the movement about the horizontal trunnions 2 in the supporting- fork 3 is obtained by a chain 27 passing over a pinion 28 on one of the trunnions, and the post 4 of the fork 3 is turned in a socket 5 either directly by a handle 19, Fig. 1, or by a chain passing around a pinion 41, Fig. 5, on the post. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the chain 27 passes around a pinion 9 on a shaft 7 which is connected by a Cardan joint 24 to a shaft 15. The lengths of chain passing around the pinions are connected together by cables passing through the fork 3 and the post 4. The shaft 15 is slidable in a sleeve 26 carried by a pivot 17, and is connected to the handle 19 by a bayonet joint 21 and a set-screw 23. When the shaft 15 is rotated, the lamp 1 is turned on the trunnions 2, and when the shaft is turned on the pivot 17, the fork 3 is turned in the socket 5. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the chain 27 is connected by cables 30, 31 to the arms 47, Figs. 7 and 8, of a cross, the arms 46 of which turn in a fork 48 rotatable in a socket 50. The chain that turns the pinion 41 is connected by cables 43, 44 to the arms 46 of the cross, which can be turned in any direction by a handle 51. The post 4 is locked in its central position by a spring detent 59 which can be released by a cable 61 connected to a lever 62 on the handle 51. The cables in both forms of the device are enclosed in sheaths formed of helically wound metal wires. One end of each sheath is fixed, and the other bears on a regulating-nut to enable the tension of the cables to be adjusted.
