Abstract: 13,663. Dawkins, C. W., [Jones, L. M.]. June 10. [Addition to 20,583/08.] Joints.-In connexion with the ball-andsocket joint described in the parent Specification for connecting the knife-bar of a mowing- machine &c. to the pitman, means are provided for positively locking the hinged half of the ball socket when in the closed position in order to prevent accidental release of the knife. A blade spring S is riveted between guiding and retaining lugs U on the end piece D of the pitman. It normally bears against the adjusting-nut O, and thus prevents the withdrawal of the plunger K against the resistance of the spring N. It may be sprung out of the path of the nut when desired. The plunger K engages the tail H of the hinged part F of the ball socket, which is thus held in position. A stop W may be formed on the spring S to limit the movement of the plunger K when it is pulled back to allow the socket to open. Instead of the stop W, a movable stop may be provided to engage with the shoulder Y of the plunger; or a rivet in the piece D may form a stop for the nut O.

Abstract: 14,415. Frugier, R. July 22, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Regulating delivery by air-vessels.-The delivery of pumps is regulated according to the pressure in the discharge pipe by fitting a large air-vessel at a point between the suction and delivery valves of the pump. A diaphragm or piston separates the air in the air-vessel from the liquid in the pump, and the volume of such air can be adjusted by introducing water above the diaphragm. The volume and pressure of the air is regulated so that, when the limiting pressure in the pump discharge pipe is reached, the whole of the liquid displaced by the pump plunger enters the lower chamber of the air-vessel. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, separate inlet and delivery valves T, K are provided, by means of which water can be pumped into the upper part of the air-vessel A above the diaphragm G for the purpose of varying the volume of air therein. Compressed air may be introduced through the opening Z. The valves T, K are then screwed down, whereupon the pump draws through the suction pipe 1 and discharges through the pipe 2, while a variable amount of liquid surges backwards and forwards through the pipe E into the space below the diaphragm G in accordance with the pressure in the delivery pipe.

Abstract: 2401. Eastwick, J. Jan. 31. Breech actions, sliding breech-block, automatic. Consists in an arrangement of springs for operating a non-rotary firing-pin to produce the locking and unlocking movements of a rotary breech-bolt. Both the unlocking and locking springs are compressed immediately after the discharge by an inertia-block; the unlocking-spring then retracts the firing-pin and unlocks the bolt, but the locking-spring is kept compressed until the trigger is again pulled, whereon the firing-pin is urged forwards to lock the bolt and fire the cartridge. The abutment 14, connected to the inertia-block, which is not shown, compresses both the unlocking-springs 11 and the locking-spring 9 immediately after the discharge. As soon as the abutment 14 has moved forwards, two tumblers 12, pivoted at the rear end of the firing-pin, fall down and keep the abutment forward relatively to the firing-pin 5. The reaction of the unlocking springs 11 then drives backwards the abutment 14 and the firing-pin, thus unlocking the rotary breech-bolt. The breech is then opened, the gun reloaded, and the breech closed again, but not locked, by intermediate mechanism of any suitable type. Finally, when the trigger is again pulled, the firing-pin is urged forward by the locking-spring 9 and rotates the breech-block and fires the cartridge. As a safety device, the firing-pin at the front is provided with projections which fit into recesses in the breech-block when it is rotated into the locking position.

Abstract: 7335. Compagnie pour la Fabrication des Compteurs et MatÚriel d'Usines a Gaz. July 9, 1909, [Convention date]. Driving - mechanism, spring. - Relates to devices by which the force on the escapement is kept approximately constant, and comprises an arrangement of the kind in which the power of the mainspring is transmitted through a subsidiary spring which is periodically wound by the main train. A wheel 4, which is geared to the escapement 3, is mounted loosely on an arbor D but connected thereto by a spring S. The arbor D is driven from the barrel-arbor 2 by gearing 1, 6, and has fixed on it a boss P having a helical surface in contact with a similar surface on a sleeve M which can slide on the arbor D but is prevented from rotating relatively to the wheel 4 by means of a pin C'. A flat spring (not shown) which carries a pin adapted to obstruct a star-wheel, which is geared to the wheel 7 fast on the arbor D, bears against the sleeve M. The mainspring, acting through the wheels 1, 6, winds up the subsidiary spring S, and the slide M, being moved along the arbor D by the rotation of the boss P, pushes back the spring in contact with it, so that the pin on the spring engages the star-wheel and locks the main train when the tension of the spring S is sufficiently great. Then, as the subsidiary spring continues to drive the escapement, the sleeve M returns to its original position, whereupon the star-wheel is again freed and the spring S is rewound. When the mainspring of the clock is wound by means of an electromotor, a device for keeping the spring wound to a constant tension comprises a brake adapted to act automatically upon the armature of the motor. The barrel-arbor 2 has a screw-thread on which a nut F works. The nut, which is moved in one direction or the other by a pin f on the barrel, or by the screwed arbor, actuates a lever k, which brakes the armature when the mainspring is sufficiently wound.
