Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 2153. White, H., and Dryden, N. Jan. 26. [Cognate Application, 14,111/12.] Breech actions, drop-down barrel.-Consists in operating the extractors of guns having superposed barrels by means of posts upstanding from the action body on each side and acting upon the extractor legs, and in providing special means for cocking the ejector hammers. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the post a can yield downwards against a spring a<1>; this is to prevent injury if the extractor is pushed home before the gun is closed. In a modification, shown in Fig. 5, the post a is fixed and acts on the extractor leg d through an intermediate pivoted piece h. In another modification, a recess m, Fig. 6, in the action-body A is adapted to actuate the pivoted piece h. In Fig. 6, the gun is shown broken down. The ejector hammer g is cocked by means of a pivoted member e, Fig. 3, preferably of fanshape as shown, interposed between the actionbody and the hammer g. In the Provisional Specification, the invention is stated to be also applicable to drop-down guns other than those having superposed barrels. Specification 4245/08 is referred to.

Abstract: 2801. Lee, J., and Barlow, F. Feb. 3. Platen presses; inking-apparatus.-In a machine for marking boot and shoe linings and other fabrics, of the kind in which the impression is made by type carried on a swinging head and inked as it moves to marking position, the impression is made by a series of typewheels 16 on a spindle 17 preferably hollow for heating and mounted in a head 7 on an arm 6, which swings on a link 5 and carries a roller 9 guided in a slot 11 whereby, during the marking stroke, the head is first raised and then allowed to drop under gravity. The arm 6 is connected by a link 13 to a bell-crank 12, connected by a rod 14 to a treadle by which the machine is operated to make an impression on the bed 3. The type-wheels are formed with characters 16<a> and separately locked in position by a series of pawls 19 pivoted on a pin 18 and acted on by springs 19<a>. Mounted in the arm 6 is a spring plunger 21 carrying a frame 20 in which is journaled a screw 25 supporting a nut 26. This nut is formed with an arm 27 on which is pivoted a pawl 28 adapted to engage the type-wheels when the plunger 21 is reciprocated. To reset any of the type-wheels, the nut 26 is traversed until the pawl 28 is opposite the particular wheel and the plunger 21 is pushed back by means of the lug 24. The projection 27<a> on the arm 27 first disengages the pawl 19, and the pawl 28 feeds on the type-wheel. The bottom line of characters is inked by a roller 32 on an arm 35, which is raised by a rod 36 from a separate treadle worked by the operator's foot just in advance of the main treadle.
