Patent GB-190414249-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Percussive Rock Drills.
Inventor: GIBSON ARTHUR HENRY
Filed: 1904-06-23
Granted: 1905-05-25
Abstract: 14,249. Gibson, A. H. June 23. Rock drills, percussive. Relates to percussive rock drills of the kind described in Specification No. 16,380, A.D. 1903, in which a piston driven by an electromotor works in a cylinder having connection through two pipes with the ends of the rock drill cylinder, the present invention being characterized by the use of only one valve and the means adopted for reducing oscillation of the compressor element. A rock drill comprising a cylinder 1 is connected by pipes 4, 5 to the ends of a cylinder a having near the middle an aperture b provided with a non-return valve d. A piston c is reciprocated by means of a connecting-rod c<1>, which is driven through gearing r, s by means of an electromotor i. During the in-stroke of the piston c, air is driven through the pipe 5, and during the latter part of the stroke the valve d allows air to enter the cylinder, the operation being reversed during the out-stroke. To reduce oscillation of the compressor element, the motor i and the cylinder a are supported as one piece on a wooden base t, with the centre line of the cylinder a passing through the centre of gravity of the motor. The crank chamber k is formed at j to fit a recessed part of the motor body i and secured rigidly by bolts m, p and a fitting piece l, the chamber k and the cylinder a being preferably of aluminium. The Provisional Specification also states that, instead of using a trunk piston working double-ended, the two pipes from the rock drill may be taken to separate cylinders working singleended and having pistons of approximately-equal weight moving in opposite directions. The single induction valve would in this case communicate with a port in each cylinder located approximately at half-stroke.

Mounted on the vehicles, in advance of the wheels, are pivoted arms a, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, carrying rollers c and _ shoes b connected to operate together, either as shown or by means of a cable connected to the lever e. When either of the arms is lowered, the corresponding roller runs on the track rail and carries the shoe in a position suitable for moving the corresponding lever h<1> or h<2>, which operates the points through the stretcher-bar 7n as desired. In a modification, the two levers h<1>, h<2> are replaced by a single lever connected to a transverse bar which projects into the path of the shoes. Various arrangements are described for adjusting the amount of travel of the levers h<1>, h<2>, typical examples of which are shown in Figs. 5,14, and 15 ; or the ends of these levers may be formed by a strip of steel of sufficient strength to yield only after the points have been actuated. Figs. 20, 21, and 22 show a modified arrangement in which the points are operated by the interaction of a spring, mounted on the arm S, and a roller Z or curved end piece y secured to the stretcher-bar. The spring may be mounted on the arm S in either of the ways shown in Fig. 21.

Abstract: 14,065. Parker, G. F., and Whiting, M. E. M. June 19. Cutting-out.-Dress-cutting charts of the type having shaped edges for guiding a marking-instrument have, as an essential feature, hinged or integral extensions, which are perforated and graduated to represent measurements taken on the person. Fig. 1 shows one of the charts for cutting out a shirt waist. All the charts are marked with a waist line d correct for a figure of the smallest size for which the apparatus is designed. In making patterns, a waist line, corresponding to the line d on the chart, is drawn in its proper place on the pattern material so as to lie correctly in a pattern sheet of any required size. This is done by first marking points on the material through perforations in the chart, each numbered to correspond to measurements from the arm to the waist, and then joining the points. Tabs b are provided with scales extending from an edge of the body. These tabs are flexibly attached so that they can be turned back to leave an uninterrupted guiding edge. Seam lines h are marked parallel to the edges, and are provided with perforations. Darts k are provided on the front piece. Charts are also described and shown for sleeves, collars, and skirts. In the latter case, there are additional indicators for use when skirts are to be made with a different number of gores.

Title: Improved Compressed Air Brake for a Gun that Recoils on its Carriage.
Inventor: DEPORT JOSEPH ALBERT
Filed: 1906-12-08
Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 28,029. Deport, J. A. Dec. 8. Field carriages; mountings. - The recoil brake and recuperator are combined in one cylinder and work entirely pneumatically. The apparatus consists of a compressed-air cylinder A, Fig. 1, a piston B with hollow rod C, and a throttling-rod E having two longitudinal grooves F, G of varying width to regulate the flow of the air past the piston during the recoil and counter-recoil, respectively. The rod E has also a passage L making communication between the interior of the rod C and the cylinder A. Two ports H, I, Figs. 3 and 4, formed in the piston B, are opened respectively during the recoil and run-out strokes by a valve J pivoted at K. The piston fits the cylinder with slight play, so that initially the manometric pressure is the same on both sides of the piston. When the gun recoils, the piston B is forced inwards, compressing the air on one side and attenuating it on the other side, until communication is made between the two sides of the piston by the groove F and port H. The remainder of the recoil stroke is regulated by the dimensions of the groove F. At the end of the recoil, the manometric pressure is again equalized on both sides of the piston ; but as the area of the right-hand face of the piston is greater than the area of the other face, the piston is forced outwards, the rate of movement being regulated by the dimensions of the groove G. A single cylinder may be employed, or two cylinders mutually inverted as described in Specification No. 20,735, A.D. 1906, and each equal in length to onehalf of the recoil stroke may be used in the latter arrangement, the cylinders may be caused to move with the gun for the first half of the recoil stroke, being then automatically disconnected therefrom.

The main track-block may be depressed by electro - magnetic means, by fluid - pressure, or by hand, or by more than one of these means, and the auxiliary track - blocks may have supplementary means, such as electro-magnets, for applying them to the track. In the preferred arrangement, a main electro - magnetic track-block 1 is connected by telescopic rods 10, 10<1> to floating levers 5, 5<1>, which are connected together by a rod 9, and to levers 6, 6<1>, which are pivoted to brackets 7, 7<1> and are connected by thrust-rods 4, 4<1> to auxiliary track-blocks 2, 2<1>, the drag of which is taken by links 3, 3<1>, connected to the axle-boxes or some other suitable part. The levers 5, 5<1>, 6, 6<1> are pulled towards a central bracket 12 by springs 8, 8<1>, the motion being limited by stops 11, 11<1>. The block 1, when applied to the track, applies both the other blocks by means of the rods and levers described, whichever may be the direction of travel.
