Title: Improvements in Ordnance with Slip-lock Firing Mechanism.
Filed: 1907-04-27
Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 9820. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Aug. 9, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Consists in providing semi-automatic guns with slip-lock firing - mechanism, the arrangement being such that the firing is automatically effected at the instant that the breech is closed. The breech portion of the gun is shown in side elevation in two positions in Figs. 1 and 3, and the breech-block is shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 10. The firing-mechanism is of the kind described in Specification No. 13,649, A.D. 1904, and consists of a trigger P, which is actuated by a trigger-lever Q, and through the sear 0. rocks the cocking-lever N first to retract and then to release the firing-pin L. The trigger-lever. Q has a projection q<1> which, during the counter-recoil, and after the breechblock has been automatically lowered, engages a stop W carried by an arm b<1> on the non-recoiling carriage B, if the stop is in the operative position shown in Fig. 3, and rotates the lever Q so as to effect the cocking of the firing-pin. A locking arm U pivoted at u<5> to the side of the breech-block and urged forwards by a spring (not shown) is held in its inoperative position, Fig. 6, by the circular head T of the triggrr shaft p<2> until, during the rotation of the latter, the cut-away portion t<1> of the head T is opposite the nose u<1> on the arm U ; the latter is then swung forwards by its spring and engages over an arm S on the outer end of the shaft n<2> of the cocking lever N, in the manner of a second sear as shown in Fig. 3, thereby locking the cocking-lever and permitting the trigger P to slip past the sear 0 without releasing the firing-mechanism. When the breech is closed, a face c<3> on the operating-crank C, during the locking movement of the crank, engages with the face u<3> of the locking arm U, as shown in Fig. 10, and rotates the latter against the action of its spring. The firing-mechanism is thus automatically released and the gun discharged. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises a'so a modification in which a rod is pushed forwards by the gun in counter-recoiling, against the action of a spring, and is held in its forward position by a spring stop until released by the closing movement of the breech-block. The rod is then projected rearwards by its spring and actuates the trigger-lever Q. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Signalling Systems for Railways and the like.
Filed: 1907-06-06
Granted: 1908-02-20
Abstract: 13,195. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges.]. June 6. Signalling.systems.-Relates to signalling-systems of the type in which the variation of resistance of selenium under the action of light is used to cause the operation of a signal, and consists in utilizing polarized light to act upon the selenium, and in rendering the system insensitive to ordinary light. Polarized light emanates from an illuminating- device a on the vehicle b, and falls upon a concave mirror c adjacent to the track, the light being thereby reflected, through a double concave lens d which converts the convergent into parallel rays, on to a Nicol's prism e. Two selenium cells f, f<1> of equal resistance are arranged near the prism, in circuit with a differential relay g. When ordinary light falls on the prism it is split up, part being reflected on to the cell f, and a part being transmittel on to the cell f<1>. The resistances in the relay circuits thereby remain approximately equal, and the relay system is balanced. When, however, polarized light falls on the prism, it is either all reflected or all transmitted, and the differential relay g is operated to open or close the signal circuit. In another arrangement, the source of light may be on the track and the mirror on the train, or only one selenium cell may be used.
