Abstract: 5419. Dixon, H. H. March 4. Latches, sliding.-A fastening for vehicle doors, of the kind in which the bolt is operated through an intermediate lever by means of a lever pivoted to the top rail of the door, is arranged so that the operating - levers can easily be removed and replaced. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the intermediate lever d is pivoted to the actuating-lever a, and operates the latch e by means of a cam d<3> acting on the inclined part e<1> of the latch, a pin d<2> guiding the lever d in the lock casing. The levers can be removed by unscrewing the attachment plate b of the lever a. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the lever d is a straight bar adapted to turn about a pin d<2> in the lock casing and to act against a ledge e<2> on the latch. In this case, the bolt has to be pressed inwards before the levers can be withdrawn. In another form of this construction, the lever d is not pivoted to the lever a, but carries a roller against which the lever a bears.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Mechanical Time Fuses for Projectiles.
Inventor: REICHWALD AUGUST
IPC: F42C9/04
Filed: 1913-04-19
Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 9245. Reichwald, A., [Krupp Akt.-Ges., F.]. April 19. Projectile fuses.-Relates to clock-work time fuses set by the rotation of the external head of the fuse, and consists mainly in the provision of an arm on the clock-work adapted to be released on discharge, to be then rotated by the clock-work, and at the appointed time to snap into a notch in the setting-member, and thereby to release the firing-device. As shown, the arm G, Fig. 1, is mounted on the spindle C of the clock-work, being connected thereto by a pin and slot, which leaves the arm G free to move towards the front, while it is compelled to rotate with the spindle. A pawl H undercut at h<1>, Fig. 3, holds the arm G against rotation as well as against forward displacement until the discharge of the projectile, which causes the pawl H to set back. The arm then rotates with the spindle of the clock-work and finally snaps into a notch m<2> in the setting-head M. When this' happens, the bent end i<1> of a lever J is released from a collar g<3> on the arm G, and the lever swings outward by centrifugal force, thus rotating a spindle J<2> and withdrawing a projection i<3> from under a spring hammer K, which fires the fuse. A shallow notch m<3> is also made in the setting-member, and, when this notch is set immediately above the position of the arm G when locked by the pawl H, the arm G snaps into it at once when released by the pawl, and the clock-work time fuse remains inoperative; the projectile can then be fired only on impact by a percussion fuse N.

Abstract: 2490. Sheppard, W. J., and Yarwood, G. A. Feb. 16. Electro - magnetic switches. - Resistance switches, used for motor control and operated by electro - magnets, have auxiliary switches which open the operating-circuit as the resistance switches close. When the starting-button is depressed it connects contacts c<4>, c<5> and completes the circuit of the coil C<3> through contacts 31 ... 36 of the auxiliary switches. The switch S<3> is therefore closed to complete the motor circuit through all the resistance. An auxiliary switch connects the contacts 41, 42 to complete a maintaining-circuit, and a resistance r<6> is inserted by another auxiliary switch. As the motor speeds up, the coil C' connected across the armature A closes the switch S<4> to short circuit the resistance R<3>. The resistance r<7> is thrown into the maintaining - circuit and the rocking switch G' is operated, disconnecting contacts 31, 32 to open the circuit of the coil C<3>, and closing the circuit of the coil C<5> through contacts 43. 44. The other switches close in order to cut out resistances R<4>, R<5>. This system is adapted for motors operating pumps, blowers, elevators, &c. A solenoid switch is shown in Fig. 4 with a pivoted arm h attached to the core of the solenoid g and carrying a contact h<1> to engage the fixed contact m<1>. The arm k also carries a spring-pressed sparking contact i<1>. The auxiliary switch has an arm n rocking on the pivot o and operated by a knob on the arm h.
