Title: Improvements in and relating to Ammunition Hoisting Gear for Heavy Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A9/50
Filed: 1911-03-31
Granted: 1912-04-30
Abstract: 8132. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. March 31. [Addition to 8305/09.] Loading-appliances. - Relates to ammunition hoists of the kind described in the parent Specification, in which the loading-cage is automatically stopped in a waiting position below the gun until the gun has run-out and the breech is opened, and is then raised into the loading-position behind the gun. The invention consists in the employment of an ' intercepting- ' valve ' controlled by a valve actuated by the gun-breech mechanism, and acting in conjunction with the cut-off valve controlled by the ram of the hoist-press. In the construction shown, the ' intercepting-valve ' C<1> is arranged in the pressure main D of the hoist-press B<1>, and is controlled by differential pistons c<1>, C<4>, the former of which pistons is normally open to pressure through a pipe c<3> and control-valve C<3> on the gun-slide A'. The piston C<4> is normally open to pressure through the pipe c<4Î> and cut-off valve C<2>. The spindle of the valve C<3> is connected to a lever C<3Î>, which is rocked by a cam A<1Î> on the axis-pin A<Î> of the breechscrew carrier when the breech is opened. The spindle of the valve C<2> is connected to a lever c<5>, which is engaged, during the raising of the hoist-cage B, by a projection b<3> on the cam-bar B<2> of the hoist-press. Before the breech is opened, the valve C<1> is held in the position shown, by the differential effect of the pressures on the pistons c<1>, C<4>, and pressure-liquid is supplied to the press B' through the handcontrol valve C. The cage is raised until the projection b<3> actuates the valve C<2> and places the pipe c<4Î> to exhaust. The pressure on the piston c<1> then moves the valve C<1> downwards, and cuts off the fluid supply to the press. When the breech is opened, the valve C<3> is actuated and places the pipe c<3> to exhaust, and the valve C' is opened again by the pressure in the pipe D. The cage then resumes its upward movement, and is stopped in the loading-position by the throttle-valve C<Î>, controlled by the cam-bar B<2> in the usual manner. In a modification, the valves C<1>, C<Î> in the main D are combined in one casing, the valve C<Î> actuated by the cambar B<2> sliding on the back of the valve C', as shown in Fig. 2. In this form, the valve C' is formed with a tapered port c<1Î>, the smaller opening of which is adapted to be covered by the valve C<Î> in the two positions of the valve C<1>. The valve C<2> and piston C<4> are suppressed,
