Abstract: 7170. Kirkman, T. W. May 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Blocks and the like acting on drums; applied by springs and weights; periodic.-A brake for disk talking-machines is applied automatically at the end of a record by spring-controlled levers released by a catch which normally rests on a stationary plate but is displaced therefrom by the sound arm. In the form shown, a brake block 12 is applied to the turntable by a lever 14 controlled bv springs 16 and provided with a spring arm 17, which is formed with a cam 18 engaging a cam-head 13 on the block 12. The lever 14 is normally held up by a catch bolt 33, which passes loosely through a plate 26 and in its upper position rests with a shoulder 34 thereon lodged upon the plate 26, as shown in Fig. 2. The bolt 33 further passes through a plate 29, which is slightly displaced upon the plate 26 by the sound arm 23, so as to dislodge the bolt at the end of the record, the plate 26 being adjustable in the standard 24 for different records by a handle 27. A lever 19, engaging with an adjustable stud 21 on the lever 14, is arranged to be engaged by the sound arm so as to release the brake before starting a selection.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Breech Loading Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A19/00
Filed: 1913-04-29
Granted: 1914-05-29
Abstract: 10,095. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. April 29. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to firing and recocking mechanism, for guns with wedge breech blocks, wherein concentric firing and recocking shafts are transversely arranged in the breech end of the gun. According to the invention (1) the two shafts are mounted out of contact with each other, and (2) the recocking mechanism is constructed so that it ensures cocking of the striker during the closing of the breech, if the recocking- lever mounted on the breech of the gun is held back by a safety device, such as the loading-tray safety mechanism described in Specification 10,090/13. Fig. 1 is a vertical transverse section through the breech end of the gun A, and the breech-block B, and Fig. 15 is a horizontal section of the breech mechanism. The firing-shaft C is carried by ball bearings d, d<3>, at its ends, arranged in brackets D<2>, D<3>, fixed to the gun A, and actuates the sear F by a firing-arm C<2> and loose connecting- parts. The recocking shaft D surrounds the shaft C but is separated therefrom by the bracket D' and by a fixed sleeve D'. The recocking-lever D<6>, carried by the shaft D, is shaped as shown in Fig. 15 at its upper end, and, when actuated by the safety device during the closing of the breech, projects into the path of the recocking-arm D<7> carried by the breech-block. If, therefore, the sear F has failed to bold the cocking and firing lever E in the retracted position, the engagement of the arm D<7> with the lever D<6> effects the cocking.

Abstract: 17,777. Marks, E. C. R., [Northern Equipment Co.]. July 27. Actuating; p i s t o n valves.-The boiler feedvalve 20, Fig. 1, is operated by the expansion and contraction of an inclined tube 8 supported on the boiler at a level between the maximum and minimum water-levels and placed in communication at its ends with the boiler steam and water spaces. The free end of the inclined tuhe presses against the short arm of a lever 15, on the long arm of which is a rod 17 supporting the long arm of a weighted lever 19 connected to the feed-valve spindle. A spring 22 supported on the rod 17 between a collar 23 and the lever 15 assists the weight on the lever 19 to close the feed-valve when the inclined tube contracts. The apparatus is so adjusted that a change in the rate of feed supply caused by a change of water-level following a variation in the load upon the boiler is insufficient to produce immediately equality between the rates of outflow and inflow for the new load. The feedvalve shown in Fig. 2 is a balanced piston valve having ports formed with narrow parts 27 so as to resist the flow of water as the valve approaches its closed position. The pipe 25 connecting the top of the tube 8 to the water column is inclined towards the column in order to drain the tube into the boiler.
