Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 21,578. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. Sept. 16. Loading-appliances.-Relates to ammunition hoists having projectile bogies rotatable around the base of the revolving ammunition trunk as described in Specification 4617/99, and consists in improvements in the arrangements for enabling the bogies still to be worked in the event of distortion of the shell-room floor.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Signalling and like Systems.
Inventor: CASSEL ELMER FRANCIS
IPC: G01S11/16
Filed: 1910-10-31
Granted: 1911-10-31
Abstract: 25,318. Cassel, E. F. Oct. 31. Locating sounds; marine bell signalling.- Signals having different speeds of travel are produced simultaneously or at known intervals, so that the distance of a point of reception from the point of transmission can be determined by observing the interval between the arrival of the faster signal and of the slower. One or more of the signal-projecting devices are electrically operated. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a commutator 26 controls the emission of wireless signals from an aerial 34 and the simultaneous operation of atmospheric and sub-aqueous bells 11, 12 carried by a buoy 10. The magnet 18 attracts an armature 19 on a central rod having lugs 16 for tripping the clappers 13, 13', and then breaks its own circuit at 32, permitting a spring 17 to return the armature-rod. The commutator may comprise separate wheels with contacts c<2>, e<3>, Fig. 2, which serve respectively to bridge the pairs of contacts 29<d>, 36d. The wheels are clamped by a bolt e<5> fixed in one wheel and passing through a slot e<6> in the other, so that there may be an adjustable interval between the two contact-closures. The commutator may be rotated by clock-work under the control of an escapement e<8>. Instead of the single projections e<2>, e<3>, there may be a series of them on each wheel, the spacing being such that signals are sent in pairs, each pair consisting, for instance, of an atmospheric sound signal followed at an interval by a wireless signal. The intervals increase for successive pairs so that an observer can estimate the distance by noting which pair arrives simultaneously. The wave-operated bell-buoy shown in Figs. 7 and 9 has atmospheric and subaqueous bells 11<c>, 12<c> with a central striking- rod 15<c>, which is lifted periodically by the engagement of a cam-wheel 53 with a flange 40 and then dropped so as simultaneously to strike the bells and to close at 56 the primary circuit of wireless signalling - apparatus. The camwheel 53 is on one of a pair of shafts 41 geared together at right-angles and each provided with a pendulum weight 43 acting through a pawl and ratchet to produce rotation in one direction when the buoy rocks under the effect of the waves. Reverse rotation is prevented by a pawl engaging a separate ratchet 52.

Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 30,231. Gminder, E. Dec. 30, 1909, [Convention date]. Cuttling.-Relates to arrangements for laying fabrics, in length or in rope form, in a drum, having an inlet parallel to its axis, and consists in providing a feeding device oscillating in the drum, the device swinging about a spindle, on rotating which, the feeding - device may be drawn more and more out of the drum according to the filling thereof. Over the drum inlet is mounted a frame 2 which carries a hollow spindle 4 and an inner spindle 5, on which latter is mounted a driving-pulley and a chainwheel 7. The wheel 7 drives a chain 8 passing over wheels 16, 17, 18, 19, Fig. 3. Rollers 11, 13 are thereby driven, and these, with rollers 12, 14 carry chain-wheels, to the chains of which are sewn endless bands 9, 10 between which the fabric is fed. The roller frame 15 has a rack gearing with a wheel on the spindles 4, which may be driven by worm connexion to connected shafts 25, one of which is driven by a crankhandle fitted on the squared end 25<a>. The frame is oscillated to lay the folds by means of a sector 28 mounted loose on the spindle 4 and driven from a spindle 30, claws 31 being provided on the sector to grip the frame 15 on both sides. The speed of the delivery bands may be greater than the speed of swinging, so that undulating folds may be obtained. Further, by raising and lowering the delivery device as it swings, its lower end may be caused to move over a straight path.
