Granted: 1915-05-25
Abstract: 12,846. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. May 25. Naval mountings.- Relates to elevating- mechanism of the kind in which safety depression gear is employed, such gear also, in certain circumstances, automatically elevating the gun from the danger zone, and consists in combining with such safety depression gear a hunting control-gear which brings the gun to rest in a position dependent upon the movement imparted to the elevating hand - wheel. Means are also provided whereby a member under the influence of the safety depression gear and of the hunting control-gear may be connected, at will, to the control device of one of several motor, adapted to elevate the gun. In the construction illustrated, the press A is controlled by a valve B, and the piston is connected by a link a to the trunnion arm A<1> of the gun. The safety depression gear, comprising the parts D, D<1>, D<2>, D', d<3>, d<2>, D<4>, a<1>, is similar to that set out in Specification 12,825/14. The hunting control-gear comprises a rack A<2> moving with the gun in elevation and gearing with a worm-wheel a<2>, which does not move with the gun. The worm-wheel a<2> gears with a worm A<3> slidably connected to the shaft C<1> actuated by the elevating hand-wheel C, The worm A<3> is mounted in a casing A<4>, which has an extension a<4> carrying a compression spring A<5> holding a sliding collar A<6> against a shoulder a<6> on the extension-piece. The collar A<6> engages the lever d<3> and also a lever B<1> connected to the valve B. In operation, to depress the gun, the worm A<3> is moved upwards relatively to the wheel a<2>, which is held still by the rack A<2>. The depression of the gun rotates the wheel a<2> and moves the worm A<3> downwards, thus again closing the valve B. If the gun is then trained into a zone in which this depression is dangerous, the valve B is moved, to elevate the gun, by means of the mechanism D<1>, D<2>, D<3>, d<3>, B<1>, the elevation ceasing when the motion of the wheel a<2> has again closed the valve B; further depression follows if the rod D<1> subsequently descends upon the rail D. If the gun is depressed beyond its safe limit. the tappet a' contacts with the arm D<1> and closes the valve B. The press A may be replaced by any suitable elevating-motor, and the invention may be employed in conjunction with several motors, the control device of any one of which may be connected to the lever B<1>. For this purpose, the lever B<1> is formed with a quadrant b' to which arms b, b<x> are detachably connected, the arm b being utilized for the press A, and the arm b<x> for a different elevating-motor, for instance a variable-speed hydraulic transmission gear.

IPC: H04M5/08
Filed: 1914-06-02
Granted: 1915-06-02
Abstract: 13,410. Conner, M. S., and Robinson, R. E. June 2. Exchange systems. - Relates to p r i v a t e - branch exchange systems of the kind described in Specification 14,916/10, in which connexions between main - exchange and branch - exchange subscribers are fed entirely from the mainexchange battery, a relay in the branch-exchange cord circuit being energized to cut out the local feed-bridges. In the prior arrangement, a signal S<1> in the incoming end of the main-exchange line L is energized when the branch-exchange subscriber A hangs up his telephone at the conclusion of a conversation. By the present modifications, a signal is simultaneously given at the main-exchange and also an audible alarm at the branch-exchange. In making a call from the main-exchange the alternating calling-current energizes the winding W<1> of the call signal S<1>, which locks up over its second winding W<2> in series with the relav R<5> controlling the audible call. When the operator inserts the plug P<1>, a relay R<1> is energized in the sleeve circuit and de-energizes the signal S' and relay R<5>, at the same time bridging a holding-coil H across the exchange line. The cord relay R<4>, energized in series with the relay R', cuts out the feeding-bridges SS<1>, SS<2> and switches the cord circuit clean through. The subscriber A is called by the key K, and when he answers, a relay R<2> is energized in the line circuit and energizes a relay R<3>, which locks itself up, cuts out the holding-coil H, and prepares the circuit of the signal S' and relay R<5>. When the subscriber A hangs up his telephone, the relay R<2> de-energizes and completes the circuit of the winding W<1> of the signal S<1>, which locks itself up over its second winding W<2> in series with the audible signal relay R<5>, and at the same time the interruption of the line circuit L operates the usual clearing signal at the main-exchange. The branch-exchange signals are open-circuited by the de-energization of the relays R', R<3> when the plug P' is withdrawn. Modifications are described in which the signal S' is replaced by separate calling and clearing signals, and in which the supervisory relays of the main-exchange are associated with onlv one side of the line. Specifications 23,812/12 and 9818/13 are referred to.

Abstract: 20,369. Wheeler, J. L. Sept 30. Motor-road-vehicle signals; indicator or visible signals.-A centrifugal governor closes an electric circuit when the vehicle attains a pre-determined speed and so sounds an alarm, and a visible signal indicates to the driver and the public the speed at which the apparatus comes into action. The governor is driven frcm one of the road wheels by a flexible shaft 6 upon the outer end of which rests a sleeve 14 slidably-hinged on a shaft 26. When the sleeve is raised by the lever 10, it acts on pins 16 carried by an insulated lever 17 carrying spring contact pieces 20, 21 which can engage fixed contacts 22, 23. The ignition circuit passes through the lever 17 and the contacts 21, 23. When the speed reaches the pre-determined limit, the lever 17 is raised and the spring-piece 20 engages with the contact 22 and so completes the circuit of an alarm. If the speed still increases, the lever 17 is raised sufficiently to separate the contacts 21, 23 and break the ignition circuit. The sleeve 14 is formed with cam or inclined faces 15 so that, when it is rotated, the distance through which the sleeve must be raised to act upon the pins 16 of the lever 17 is altered, and consequently the apparatus comes into action at a different speed. The driver sets the apparatus by means of a pointer which moves over a fixed scale and rotates a shaft 30 driving the shaft 26 and the sleeve 14. The speed for which the apparatus is set is indicated to the public by the number which is visible through an opening 36 in the casing of the mechanism, the numbers being carried by a disk 34 fixed on the shaft 30.

Abstract: 1585. Soc. Anon. des Anciens Etablissements Hotchkiss et Cie. Aug. 8, 1913, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to gas-operated guns of the kind in which the cartridges are carried by a loading-strip which is fed through a block mounted on the breech body. The invention consists in a special construction of the feed-block, and in means for braking the gas-piston when the gun is used as a single loader. The loading-strip K is inserted in the feed-block Q and is operated, in substantially the manner described in Specification 5141/08, [Class 92, Ordnance &c.], by an oscillating arm l<8>, Fig. 17<a>, carried by a spindle j<8> mounted in the feed-block and actuated by the gas-piston. The feed-block Q is mounted by circular bearings w<6>, a<7>, Figs. 2, 6, 9, and 13, so that it can rotate about a longitudinal axis on the breech body to assume either a vertical position, shown in Fig. 5, for single loading, or an horizontal position, shown in Fig. 4, for magazine or automatic loading. The feed-block is held in the horizontal or operative position, firstly by the foot of the feed-piece j<8>, which engages a recess in a projection y<1>, Figs. 9 and 9<a>, on the breech body, and secondly, during the reciprocation of the piston H, by a hook w<7>, Fig. 9, which engages a groove w<3>, Fig. 13, at the bottom of the piston, and which can only be disengaged therefrom when the piston is in its forward position. As soon as a feed-strip is exhausted, the feed-piece j<8> falls to a position in which it can slip out from the recess in the projection y<1>, Fig. 9<a>, and the feel-block is raised to the vertical position by a spring is, Fig. 13. A spring catch c<16>, Fig. 20, is provided to prevent the feed-block from being accidentally swung down before the first cartridge a<3> is in the loading position. The openings for the insertion and removal of the feed-strip are closed by shutters to protect from dust during transport. The ejection slot is also closed by a shutter, which is operated to uncover the slot by the angular movements of the feed-spindle j<8>. A braking-device, adapted to be put on when the feed-block is in the vertical position, is provided to compensate for the effort of feeding the feed-strip. This brake comprises a shoe e<16>, Fig. 22, mounted on a leaf spring e" and normally out of engagement with the piston H, but adapted to be put on by the heel g<16> of the feedblock. Specifications 5141/08, [Class 92, Ordnance &c.], 25,383/12, 15.774/14, 1586/15, 1588/15, and 1589/15 are referred to.
