Fuses for pojectiles. -Setting-devices are adapted to be placed in any position on the fuze, and require no more than two rotations for setting the fuze. The flange c<1> of a cap C, an annular plate spring E, and two rings B, D are mounted co-axially and rotata'oly within a base formed of two parts A, A' screwed together. The ring D has a spring pawl d<1> for engagement with a notch g<1> in the fuze G, and the flange c<1> has a spring pawl c<3> for engagement with a notch f<1> in the setting-ring F of the fuze. The pawl c<3> has a nose c<4> or a tail k<1>, which projects through a slot c<5> into a groove b' in the ring B, and is adapted to engage a stop b<3> on the ring B, when the pawl is in the operative position shown, and to pass clear of the stop when the pawl is in the inoperative position. A time scale is provided on the upper face of the ring B and a reading-off mark on the base A. The adjustment is effected by rotating the cap C ; on account of the friction grip produced by the spring E or of the engagement of the stops c<4>, b<3>, the ring B follows the rotation of the cap C. After adjustment, the ring B is clamped by a thumb-screw H. A correction scale is provided on the ring D, preferably on the lower face thereof, and a reading-off mark on the base A<1> ; the correction is made by means of a worm gear d'. If the pawls do not fall into engagement with their respective notches, when the key is applied to the fuze, a single rotation at most is bound to bring about such engagement, and if the setting is not then complete, a single subsequent rotation at most is bound to bring the stops c', b<3> into engagement and complete the setting.

Title: Improvements in Jet Carburettors for and Means for Controlling Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: HINDLEY SAMUEL
Filed: 1908-09-10
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 19,002. Hindley, S. Sept. 10. Gas or explosivevapour engines, carburetting in. In a spray carburettor specially adapted for motor cycles,cars and aeroplanes, a single lever actuates a valve for controlling the choke tube, a throttle and fresh-air valve, and a switch in the ignition circuit. The top of the float chamber 17, which is concentric with the nozzle 15, is coned and forms in conjunction with a coned part 11 carrying a choke tube 14, an air chamber to which air is admitted by ports 36. The cone 11 is ported and forms a seating for a ported conical valve 6<A> actuated through the spindle 6 by the lever 31. This lever carries a pivoted arm 32 adapted to engage and be forced down by an inclined edge 33, thus closing the choke tube by a valve 27 and breaking the ignition circuit by separating the stem 4 of this valve from the insulated terminal 1. A spring 9 normally keeps the ports 24A in the conical valve closed. The throttle valve 10, actuated by the lever 38, is contained in the mixing chamber 29 which is heated by exhaust gases or hot water in the chamber 7. At starting the lever 31 is held against the stop 44, Fig. 2, thus closing the ports 24<A>, Fig. 1, and leaving the throttle open. As the speed increases the lever 31 is moved toward the inclined edge 33 by the helical closed spring 37. The normal working position is determined by the lever 31 coming against a set-screw 46, Fig. 4, pivoted to the part 33. Further movement of the plug 40 in the same direction extends the spring 37 and, though the chain 39, nearly closes the throttle 10. Just before this occurs an extension of the lever 38 strikes the lever 43, depresses the set-screw 46, and allows the key 31 to move so as to bring the arm 32 under the inclined edge 33, breaking the ignition circuit and braking the engine. By moving the lever 38 in the opposite direction without releasing the key 31, fresh air may be supplied to the engine. The Provisional Specification states that the make-and-break device is coupled to the switch lever so that, when this lever is in the starting position, the ignition is retarded.
