Title: An Improved Sighting Device for Guns.
IPC: F41G1/393
Filed: 1913-08-16
Granted: 1915-06-10
Abstract: 18,672. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. Oct. 10, 1912, [Convention date]. Sights.-Relates to high-angle sights of the kind that are initially adjusted to the normal range angle, and wherein the angle of site of target correction is applied automatically as the gun is elevated to bring the line of sight on to the target. According to the invention, the sighting-telescope is fixed, and the adjustments and corrections for ranges and angles of site are made by rotating a prism placed :.n known manner in front of the telescope. Fig. 1 is a side elevation showing the invention applied to a trunnion sight having the angle of site correcting-gear described in Specification 1929/11. The telescope B is mounted in a bracket A on a non-elevating part of the gun-carriage. A prism-containing casing b<2> is journaled into the front end of the telescope casing, and is connected by an arm i and link J to a block H, which engages in a groove in an arm G, rigidly connected to the gun trunnion, and also in a groove in a curved arm C, pivoted at a to the bracket A. Adjustment of the arm C by worm-gear F, E, b moves the block H along the arm G, and rocks the prismcasing b<2> into a position corresponding to the range that is indicated on a dial D rotated by a second worm c on the spindle E. Gearing b' in the prism-casing rotates the prism b<1> at onehalf the speed of the casing. When the gun is elevated to aline the sights and the target, the block H is moved along the guide C, and the prism is thereby rotated to effect the angle of site correction.

[Cognate Application, 21,175/14] Switches, quick-action; contacts.-Relates to switches of the intermediate type used with two two-way switches to provide for the opening and closing of a circuit at a number of different places. According to the invention, an " intermediate " switch is constructed with six contacts on the movable contact-member, and with either four or six stationary contacts, the movable contact-member involving connexions between its contacts which are, in effect, arranged diagonally. The circuit connexions effected by one form of the switch are shown diagrammatically in Figs. 6 and 7, in which four fixed contacts a, b, c, d and the six movable contacts indicated by black rectangles are employed. The diagonal and other interconnexions between the movable contacts are indicated. In the first position of the switch, Fig. 6, the contacts a, c and the contacts b, d are connected together, and in the second position, Fig. 7, the contacts a, cl and the contacts b, c are connected together. The constructional form of the switch is shown in Figs. 1-and 4 as a tumbler switch with a quick action produced by a coiled compression spring v surrounding telescopic members. The movable contact &c. parts are constituted by the various elements shown in Fig. 4. The contact-members e, f, which are insulated from each other, have contact surfaces i, g, h and l, j, k respectively. When the parts are assembled, the contactsurfaces l. g, h are on one side and the contactsurfaces i. l, j, k on the other side of the movable member. The switch may have a middle or ' off ' position.

Filed: 1915-09-02
Abstract: 12,635. Gander, J. S. Sept. 2. [Cognate Application, 14,223/15 ] Steam-traps. - Relates to apparatus for separating fluids of different specific gravities, of the floatactuated steam-trap type and in which the lever and link mechanism between the float and the valve is counterweighted, and consists in connecting the mechanism to the valve spindle through a spring, in order to prevent damage to the mechanism in case of jamming or incorrect adjustment. A cam g on the float shaft e engages the forked end of a lever h pivoted at n and fitted with a counterweight o. Links p connect the lever h to a member r sliding on the valvespindle j, and the spring s is disposed between a collar t fixed to the spindle and a washer v engaging a tapered portion of the spindle. The mixture of fluids enters at 8 into a chamber 5 at the top of the container and passes through a filtering-disk 6 and a pipe 15 into the container. A hollow plug 14 in communication with the space below the disk 6 is fitted at its upper end with a cock for expulsion of air on starting. A second filter 7 is placed over the valve outlet 2 for the heavier fluid. The lighter fluid is discharged through outlets 9. In a modification, Figs. 4 and 5, the shaft e is formed with a detachable end portion 17 mounted in bearings in the cover 16 of the container, the lever h, the valve spindle j, and the associated mechanism are mounted on the outside of the cover, and the filter 22 is accessible from the outside of the cover. The fluid passes from the container through a valve 25 and a passage 26 to the interior of the filter 22, and, after passing through the filter, is led by a pipe 27 to the outlet valve 28. The filter is accessible by removing a cover 23. When three fluids, such as gas, oil, and water, are to be separated, the air cock at the top of the plug 14 is connected by a pipe to a second similar apparatus placed in inverted position above the first apparatus. The gas is thereby discharged at the top of the second apparatus, and the oil at the outlets 9 of the first apparatus. In a modified arrangement, the gas-discharging apparatus is fed by a pipe from the top of a tank containing the mixed fluids, the water-discharging apparatus is fed from the bottom of the same tank, and oil is drawn off directly from the tank.

Abstract: 15,188. Fenn, G. J., and Yost Typewriter Co. Oct. 27. Platen-rotation for condensed billing &c. A mechanism for rotating the platen through large arcs in either direction comprises two hanftlevers which are operative in opposite directions and are arranged to drive the platen through movement-multiplying gearing, the couplings, such as pawls, between the hand-levers and the gearing being disconnected when the handlevers are in the normal positions. As shown, hand-levers f, f<1>, arranged at opposite ends or at the same end of the platen, are provided with pawls h, h<1> adapted to drive wheels e gearing with pinions a on the platen spindle b, the hand-levers f, /1 being operative in the downward and the upward stroke respectively. Adjustable stops may be provided for limiting the movements of the hand-levers. Preferably, the movements are limited in one direction by adjustable stops l, and in the other by the engagement of lugs j on the hand-levers with the bosses k of the pinions a. The stops l are secured by screws m which pass through slots in plates x. Returning-springs g normally hold the hand-levers f, f<1> against the stop l and the boss k respectively. In returning to the normal positions, the pawl h is released by the engagement of the tail n of the pawl with the stop l, and the pawl h<1> is released by riding on to a masking-plate o carried by the plate x.
