Title: Anchor for Submarine Mines.
Inventor: ELIA GIOVANNI EMANUELE
IPC: F42B22/16
Filed: 1912-09-25
Granted: 1913-09-25
Abstract: 21,841. Elia, G. E. Sept. 26, 1911, [Convention date]. Mines, marine.-Relates to automatic anchors in which unwinding of the cable is arrested by the locking of the winch when a lead suspended from the anchor reaches seabottom, and consists in maintaining inoperative the winchlocking device until the drum has made a predetermined number of revolutions. In the form shown, the mine b is joined to the anchor a by a cable c wound on a drum d in the anchor. The shaft of the drum carries at one end a braking-device g, and at the other a screw-thread h engaging a rectangular nut i fitting into a frame j capable of sliding at its upper end in a guide m in the anchor casing. At its lower end, the frame carries a rod n, integral with a spring- pressed piston s, to which rod is attached the cable p carrying the usual lead q supported in the anchor casing by doors r. When the mine is launched, the doors are released, for instance by the melting of a soluble plug, and the lead hangs from the rod n. The anchor a descends. rotating the drum d to unwind the cable c until the nut i is displaced from its housing in the frame j, whereupon the lead q drags down the rod n, compressing the piston spring t. When the lead reaches the bottom, the cable p slackens, and the spring t forces the rod n upwards until a tappet y on the rod engages a toothed ring z on the drum d, which is thereby locked from rotation. Simultaneously, a spring bolt x emerges from a recess v in the piston casing u, and, engaging the underside of the piston s, permanently retains the tappet y in its locking position. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also a modification in which the delay action is effected by the agency of a spiral groove in the side of the drum; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 27,694. Brown, P., and Bostock, F. J. Dec. 2. Disk apparatus.-In a machine for grinding worms to remove inaccuracies developed during hardening the worm is mounted between a fixed centre 34<1>, and a rotating centre 33<1>, carried by a plate 35 rotated by a worm shaft 55. The table carrying the headstocks is traversed to give lead to the work by a nut 61 on the table 2 turning on a screw 60, this nut being driven by a bevel-wheel reversing- train 62, 63, 64 on a shaft 58 carried by the table 2, to allow the table to be traversed for the cutting - stroke in either direction according to the hand of the worm thread being ground. The shaft 58 is driven on the cutting- stroke by the shaft 41 also mounted on the table 2, the worm 40 on shaft 41 driving through differential and indexing gear the worm 57 on the shaft 58, the shaft 41 being itself driven by passing splined through a pinion 42 driven from the pinion 26 on a sleeve 24 loose on the driving-shaft 10, Fig. 5, which may be engaged by a clutch 25 to a sleeve 27 carrying a gear 23 driven through a speed box 19 from the the main driving - shaft 10. The shaft 58 mav alternately be driven for the quick return by a splined pinion 59 and gears from a pinion 29 which may be clutched to the main driving - shaft 10, which shaft, through the gear 11, also drives the speed gear box &c. The reversal of movement of the table at the end of each stroke is brought about bv putting in the appropriate clutch 25, 28. These clutches are operated by arms on a longitudinally movable rod 69 which is held in either extreme position by catch levers 73, 73<1> and is moved by an arm 70 engaging a sleeve thereon. The clutch-reversing lever 70 is moved at the end of the traverse by stops 77, 77' engaging an arm 76 mounted on an eccentric pivot 78, and having gear segments 76<2>, 76' which may engage the top or bottom of a pinion 72 on the pivot lever 70 according as the eccentric pin 78 is adjustably placed for grinding a right or left hand worm so that the appropriate clutch is put in for the cutting-stroke. A stud 80 may be set in the part of the clutch-operating rod if it is desired to stop the traverse. The work is indexed through differential gear to present a fresh portion or thread to the grinder during the quick return. The grinding-head may be fed towards the work by a worm 31 on a sleeve driven frictionally from the shaft 10 until an adjustable gauge stop 108 stops the feed. The table may be adjusted for feeding the work laterally by hand by turning the screw 60 by means of a worm-wheel 111, and the table carrying the head-stocks is pivoted at one end and is adjustable about the pivot by means of the hand-screw 98.

Granted: 1914-01-05
Abstract: 27,981. Jensen, C. A., [Dodd, F. W.]. Dec. 4. Working-fluid supply. -Consists in propelling torpedoes, and submarine and other vessels, by a power plant comprising a number of chambers adapted to be filled with water from the water surrounding the torpedo or vessel and emptied by gaseous pressure fluid produced or heated by continuous combustion, the filling and emptying of the chambers taking place alternately and in succession or rotation so as to yield a fairly regular water output, and the expelled water being used to drive a turbine coupled to the propellers. Figs. 1 and 2 show the invention applied to a torpedo. Six chambers 16 arranged in two rows of three have common valves 17, 18 for controlling the inlet and outlet of the gaseous fluid and of the water respectively. The gaseous fluid comes from a generator 7 supplied with compressed air from a chamber 2, with liquid fuel from a chamber 6, and with a small quantity of water from a third chamber (not shown). The water for the chambers 16 comes from outside the torpedo, being sucked in by openings 40<b> and further impelled by a pump 40* and through a pipe 40 to the valve 18. The valves 17 and 18 have ports 34, 41, and are driven by worm gears 20, 23, bevel-gear 26, and spur gear 29 from the turbine 3, which comprises two wheels coupled to two shafts 4 and driven by the water expelled from the chambers 16 by a nozzle 45. The water from the turbine is led rearwards by a pipe 47 to assist propulsion, and the exhaust gases from the chambers 16 are led by a pipe 38 to a hollow sleeve 5 within the shafts 4, or by a pipe 39 to the interior of the shafts at a point further aft in a well-known way. Float valves 46 are provided in each chamber 16 to close the water outlet if the water level falls low, thus to prevent leakage of gases. In a modification intended for submarines the water for the chambers 16 is not obtained directly from the surrounding water but from a reservoir which is filled from the surrounding water; the compressed air is renewed by a pump driven by the turbine; and separate inlet and outlet valves worked by cams are provided for each water chamber.
