Title: Improvements in or relating to Submarine Mines.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
IPC: F42B22/10
Filed: 1912-12-20
Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 29,392. Schneider, E. Dec. 20. Mines, marine.-Relates to mines of the type described in Specification 8502/12, which are adapted to be released from a submersible vessel, and consists in closing the auxiliary reservoirs by means of soldered plugs, the plug closing the reservoir in the float being connected by a cable to the anchor, and the plugs closing those in the anchor being connected by cables to the float, so that the plugs are torn out when the anchor separates from the float after the mine has risen to the water surface. This device removes the necessity for launching the mine in an inverted position. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the mine, comprising a float a, anchor b, and immersion-regulating weight d is secured to the deck of a submarine by a bolt k. The float a encloses an auxiliary chamber 1, containing two soluble safety devices x for the firing-mechanism,' and closed by a soldered plug s<1>, which is connected by a cable t' to the anchor b. Two cylindrical chambers r in the anchor b are provided with similar closing-plugs connected by cables to the float a. The mine is launched by withdrawing the bolt k, and owing to the buoyancy of the chambers 1, r, rises to the surface as a whole. The weight d, which, before launching, rests in a cavity on the deck of the vessel, is prevented from falling until the mine rises in proximity to the surface by a fall-retarding device similar to that described in Specification 8502/12, which permits the weight to fall after a predetermined time, unwinding the rope f, and drawing a pivoted locking-link g out of engagement with the winch c, which carries the cable connecting the anchor and the float. The anchor descends under its weight, unwinding the cable c, but the float a remains at the surface. At a certain moment during the descent, the cables attached to the soldered plugs of the reservoirs 1, r become taut, and the plugs are torn out. The anchor continues its descent to the sea floor, the reservoirs r become filled with water, and finally the soluble safety-devices x are attacked by water entering the chamber 1, thereby arming the mine.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Range Keeping and Transmitting Instruments.
Inventor: TAYLOR ALFRED
IPC: G01C3/00
Filed: 1915-01-04
Abstract: 97. Taylor, A., and Gray, P. W. Jan. 4. Range - keepers. - A range clock has a counter 2 upon which the range, independently determined, is set up, and a stop-watch is mounted in a rotatable casing 55 which is driven from the counter-operating handle 7 through a variable gear set according to the known rate of change of the range. The handle 7 is kept moving so as to keep the hand 66 of the stop-watch against a fixed index 63, so that the range indication on the counter 2 varies according to the rate for which the machine has been set. Any suitable means may be provided for transmitting the reading of the counter to a distance. Two indicators 30, positive and negative, are set by a handle 27 for the rate of change of range, masks being provided so that only one is visible at a time, and are connected to a screwed shaft 23 which determines the relative position of a friction wheel 21 and a spring-pressed crown-wheel 51 carried by the rotatable casing 55. The index 63 is carried by a cover 61, which is provided with a glass plate 62 and has a milled edge for adjustment of the index ; a lifting-shaft 57 provided with a handle 58 may lift the wheel 51 out of contact with the driving-wheel 21. The latter wheel is driven by toothed gearing from the handle 7, the shaft 6 of which is movable axially, against the action of a spring 15, or under the control of detents, to throw out the connexion between the handle 7 and wheel 21. The reading upon the main counter 2 may thus be corrected independently of the set rate of change, the correction being indicated upon counters 66, 67, positive and negative, provided with masking-plates. Any form of variable-speed connexion, such as epicyclic gearing, may be employed between the casing 55 and shaft 6, and reversing-gear may be employed so that the handle 7 always rotates in the same direction.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Latch Needles for Knitting Machines.
Inventor: STIBBE GODFREY
IPC: D04B35/04
Filed: 1915-07-15
Abstract: 10,317. Stibbe, G. July 15. Needles.-In a latch needle for a knitting- machine, the rear part of the latch is formed to make contact with the bed in which the needle slides, so that as the needle moves in the bed, the latch is opened automatically. The latch a, Figs. 2 and 5, may be formed with a projection d or protuberance i at the rear end to engage the bed f. In the former case, the bed may have a bevelled edge of hardened steel to engage the projection d, while in the latter case, the latch is turned by the frictional engagement of the protuberance i with the bed. The parts are so formed that, when open, the latch remains open and is not closed by the return movement of the needle. The latch may be cut away at j so as not to engage the bed when open. To facilitate the passage of loops, the needle stem may be made somewhat narrower in the region of the pivot to compensate for the increase due to the existence of the projection &c. The latch may be situated wholly within the needle, which in this case is grooved to engage a projection on the needle bed.
