Abstract: 6666. Stone & Co., J., and Darker, A. H. March 16. Electro-magnetic switches.-The coils a, 26, b, Fig. 6, of an electro-magnetic switch are connected in series, the coils a, 26 being oppositely wound so that when the switch 27 is open the coil b moves the arm e into the position shown. When the switch 27 is closed the coils 26, bare short-circuited and the coil a moves the arm e in the opposite direction. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the coils 28, bare independent and a support 29 carries a spring 30 upon which are mounted an armature 31 and contact 32. When the coil a is energized, the armature 31 is attracted thereby opening the circuit of the coil b at the contacts 32, 33 and rocking the arm e into the position shown. The arm e may be operated by hand through spring- pressed plungers 52.

Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 13,097. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. May 30. Ammonia formed by the union of nitrogen and hydrogen in the presence of a catalytic agent is condensed by abstracting heat from a surface in, or forming part of, the vessel in which the combination has taken place. A suitable arrangement of apparatus is shown in which the reaction vessel A, capable of withstanding pressure, is surrounded by a cooling- jacket B. The catalytic material, for example, uranium nitride, is contained in a vessel D open at both ends and suspended in the vessel A. The catalytic material is heated by the electric resistance coil E, which is provided with a protective covering G, and the gases are caused to circulate through the catalytic material by convection.

Abstract: 22,816. Henn, E. C. Oct. 16. Lathes; screwing.-In an automatic multiplespindle, work-turret screw-making lathe, the work spindles are stopped for cutting the thread and the screwing-spindle rotates constantly in the same direction, the die-heads being released for removal. Each spindle 9, Fig. 4, of the work turret is driven by a clutch 10, and to stop the spindles, a lever 17, operated through segmental toothed gearing from a cam drum, moves out the clutch cone 11 and presses a friction disk against a collar; in a modification, a spring-pressed pin positively stops the spindle. The threading-die 69 is carried by a continuously rotating spindle mounted in the sliding carrier 88; for opening the die after threading a forked lever 91 surrounding the head is operated by a cam-operated lever 95; in a modification, the collar 99 is not operated by a lever but meets an abutment after travelling forward a certain distance and so releases the dies. The die is closed by a lever 101, an adjustable pin 104 on which meets an abutment 105 as the carrier 88 moves back. Screwing die-heads.-The die-head 69, Figs. 9 and 10, has a flanged sleeve 81 and a cap 82, . the chasers are mounted in carriers 72 normally pressed outwards by springs 74 and pressed inwards by pins mounted in the cap and bearing upon cam surfaces on the carrier. Screws 85, 87 limit the inward and outward movements of the carriers. A spring 108 is compressed during the threading operation and this causes an accelerated return of the head on release.

Title: Improvements in the Elevating Gear of Ordnance.
Inventor: BACON REGINALD HUGH SPENCER
IPC: F41A27/02
Filed: 1912-04-09
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 8445. Bacon, R. H. S., and Shepherd, F. W. H. April 9. Naval mountings.-Relates to automatic control gear for preventing the depression of guns beyond safe limits at various points of the training- are. According to the invention, the usual auxiliary ' depression control valve ' arranged between the main elevating-valve and the elevating-press is dispensed with, and the automatic control is exercised upon the main valve in the manner described below. The spindle c of the main valve a is extended into a cylinder e and is formed with a piston d. A valve f controls the motions of the piston d and, hence, the valve a. The valve f is operated by a floating lever g, the piston of which is controlled by the elevation-control handle hand by a link connected to a second floating lever i. One end of the lever i is connected to the valve-spindle c, and the other end (or fulcrum) is pivoted to the rod of a piston k working in a cylinder l. The upper surface of the piston k is constantly exposed to pressure, but the lower surface is connected to pressure and exhaust by a valve m. The position of the valve m is dependent upon a floating lever n, of which one end is in the path of a projection o on the gun-slide, and the other end is connected by a link p and bell-crank q to a sliding rod r carrying a roller s, which roller runs along a cam t as the gun is trained, in the usual manner. When the gun is depressed or trained into an endangering position, the valve m is actuated so as to admit pressure to the cylinder l; the piston k is thus raised, and the valve a is moved into the position to effect the safety elevation of the gun.
