Title: Improvements in Envelope Bullets for Small Arms.
IPC: F42B12/78
Filed: 1909-04-06
Granted: 1910-04-06
Abstract: 8301. King's Norton Metal Co., Bayliss, T. A., and Smith, H. Melville-. April 6. Projectiles.-Relates to jacketed bullets provided with compound cores, and has for its object to prevent the deformation of the front and rear parts, due to firing, while at the same time maintaining the frangibility upon impact. According to the invention, a section of hard metal, such as soft iron, steel, aluminium, a copper alloy, or the like, is inserted in the core where the parallel portion of the bullet begins to taper backwards or forwards. The front section of hard metal may be hollow and in one or two parts as shown at a, a<1> in Fig. 2, or may be solid as shown at a in Fig. 4. In the latter case, the front end of the bullet is filled with lead b or is left hollow, and the section a is held in place by a groove on the jacket c just in front of the section a. The rear section of hard metal is shown at e, Fig. 4.

Abstract: 14,485. Simon, F. June 21. Rope grips. - Jockey clips for haulage purposes comprise a vertical forked frame with two jaws loosely mounted between the forks, one of the jaws being operated by a screw for gripping the rope, the other being controlled by an upstanding lever for giving a quick release. A forked frame 2 engaging the truck by a vertical spindle 3 is fitted with a pair of loose jaws 4, 5, which are held against endlong movement by downwardly - projecting lugs at each end. The jaws are prevented from rising by a transverse stay 9 between the arms of the fork, and the lower edges of the jaws are bevelled so that the jaws tend to fall apart when disengaged from the rope. Lugs 12 on one of the jaws engaging the sides of the other jaw prevent the rope from falling between the jaws. The jaw 4 is controlled by a hand-operated screw 17 engaging a nut removably secured in the outer arm of the fork. The other jaw 5 is engaged at the back by the bevelled end of a hand-lever 13, which may be turned down to give a quick release of the grip. The lever 13 is prevented from falling right over by lugs 16 on the jaw 5. The spindle 3 may be out of line with the rope, or may be directly beneath as indicated in dotted lines.

Abstract: 17,488. Berardi, C. July 27. Tampering with meter opens switch or sets indicator.-A soft-iron wire 8, Fig. 2, is suspended by a . spring 7 so as to hang freely within an encircling metal piece 6 with which it makes contact, if an outside magnetic flux is applied for altering the rate of the meter. Fig. 7 shows an indicator in which a disk 39 is held up by a lead wire 22 until a circuit is closed at 31, by the device shown in Fig. 2, through a resistance the heating of which melts the wire, releasing the indicator and a spring contact 40 which opens the circuit. A similarlyoperated switch may be used to open the main circuit. An electromagneticallyoperated switch with two windings may be used, one of the windings being connected to the device shown in Fig. 2, to open the switch, the other winding of high resistance being then inserted in the main circuit to reduce the current and keep the switch open. Resistances. - The above-mentioned resistance, which may be a mixture of graphite and calcium carbonate, is contained in a porcelain cup 19 with a nickel pin 30 and a nickel tube 21 for terminals. The resistance may be varied by altering the proportions of the mixture.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Guns and other Vessels Subjected to Pressure.
Inventor: PERRY JOHN
IPC: F41A21/00
Filed: 1910-05-27
Granted: 1911-05-29
Abstract: 12,867. Perry, J. May 27. Ordnance design.-Relates to the known process for the manufacture of guns, in which the gun barrel is subjected to an internal fluid pressure which is gradually increased until a maximum pressure is reached which is equal to, or greater than, that to which the gun is subjected in use. The invention consists in the employment of heated liquid as the pressure fluid. The liquid may be acted upon by a closefitting ram which enters from the muzzle end and gradually advances into the bore so that the metal of the gun is strained most where the powder pressure will be highest. The wires of an electric heating-coil pass through a small bore in the ram. In a modification, the gun is enclosed in a strong mould, and subjected to uniform pressure of heated liquid throughout its length, or a cylindrical tube may be subjected to uniform pressure and afterwards be turned down to the desired external form. It is also stated in the Provisional Specification that the gun may be subjected both internally and externally to the maximum pressure, and that the external pressure is gradually reduced while the internal pressure is maintained.

IPC: A63G1/28
Filed: 1910-10-13
Granted: 1911-10-13
Abstract: 23,729. Hammer, L. Oct. 13. Roundabouts. - A n amusement device consists of a number of aeroplane cars g, Fig. 1, attached by means of swinging arms P to a freely rotatable carrier T1 mounted at the top of a tower T. The device is rotated by propellers m which are mounted on the swing- ing arms P and driven by hydraulic motors. These motors receive liquid under pressure from a hydraulic engine M driven by a motor D. The arms P are suspended from chains K, Fig. 3, which pass round pulleys S<1>, attached to a tube W mounted in bearings on the carrier T1. Arms h<3> attached to the pulleys are connected by means of a rope K<1> with a regulating - device Z which, if the arm P lags or is in advance of its proper position, causes a flow of fluid in one direction or the other through tubes l1, l2 to a cylinder and alters the inclination of planes A<h>, mounted on the arms P. The planes A<e> mounted on the cars have their inclination controlled by the weight of the passengers in the car so that the lifting power is proportional to the load in the car. Smaller planes F are also mounted in the cars and automatically prevent the cars and arms P from rotating about the longitudinal axis of the arms. Should an arm rise above a certain angle to the horizontal, the supply of liquid to the propelling-motor is stopped until the arm falls to a safe position. The regulating-device Z includes a part pivoted between the poles of a horse-shoe magnet, and it is stated that the magnetic action retards the movement of such part.

Abstract: 10,747. Henley's Telegraph Works Co., W. T., and Judge, E. E. May 3. Switches; quick-break; covers. - The circuitclosing member j is mounted in the hinged cover a of the switch case, and is so arranged that it is normally in the ' off ' position, and has always a tendency to return to this position with a quick-break action ; the circuit can be closed only when the cover is closed and the circuit is broken when the cover is opened. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the circuit - closing member is drum-shaped, and has contacts k, m connected together by a fuse. When the cover is closed, the circuit may be completed by rotating the operating - handle, which has a free-motion connexion to the drum. This operation winds up a spring p, which tends to open the switch but is prevented by the clipping action of the fixed spring-contacts f<1>, g<1>, If the drum is liberated from the fixed contacts by opening the lid which is hinged at c, or by rotating the operating-handle backwards, the switch is brought into the off position with a quick action. The fixed and movable contacts are duplicated to constitute a double - pole switch, and the movable contacts are separated by partitions upon the base extending into recesses in the drum.
