Title: Improvements in Machines for Manufacturing Paper Bags.
Inventor: FORRESTER HAROLD JOSEPH CHARLE
IPC: B31B50/25
Filed: 1910-07-12
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 16,587. Forrester, H. J. C., [Continental Paper Bag Co.]. July 12. Paper bags, making.-In order to produce the paper bags illustrated in Fig. 4 and described in Specification 23,040/08, mechanism for forming the creases 104, 105 is added to the usual machine for making bellows-sided bags with turned-over bottoms. As the finished bag issues from between the bottoming-rolls, it passes between three buckling-rolls 42, 43 secured to two shafts 81, 78, respectively, shown in plan in Fig. 2. The roll 42 projects a little way between the rolls 43, so that the bag as it passes between them is buckled. The bag next passes between creasing-rolls 44, 45, and the creases 105 are formed by ridges 46 on the roll 44 which press the paper into corresponding grooves in the roll 45. The previous buckling of the bag prevents the bag from injury by transverse strain when the creases are made. The bag next passes between other creasing- rolls situated beneath the rolls 44, 45 which form the crease 104.

Granted: 1911-11-07
Abstract: 25,851. Bennett, W. A. Nov. 7. Targets, kinematograph. Relates to kinematograph targets, and consists in (1) automatically stopping the kinematograph when the trigger of the rifle is pulled, (2) adapting the apparatus to allow a number of shots to be fired collectively or successively, and (3) mounting the kinematograph to allow for shooting with raised sights or for wind allowance practice. On pulling the trigger, contacts on the triggerguard are operated to close a circuit containing an electro-magnet 32, having for its armature a spring-pressed sliding wheel 28, which is in gear with a wheel 29 in the film-driving train of the kinematograph, and is normally driven by a continuously rotating crown-wheel 23. The wheel 28 is prevented from rotating, when drawn out of engagement with the crown-wheel 23, by teeth 30 engaging with teeth 37 on the shell of the electro-magnet. The electro-magnet 32 is maintained in its energized condition by a second circuit which is closed by an electromagnetic switch, operated by the circuit containing the rifle contacts. When a number of shots are to be fired either collectively or successively, the circuit containing the electro-magnet 32 is cut out, and the rifle contacts are arranged to close a circuit containing an electro-magnetically operated marker 53, which marks a recording-strip 50 driven synchronously with the film of the kinematograph. When the firing has ceased, the film and the strip are drawn back, and the recording-marks made to register with an index on a stud 54 behind the strip, the corresponding picture being kept stationary on the target for the examination of the shot. For shooting with raised sights or for windallowance practice, the kinematograph 55 is placed on a pivoted table 56, which can be either raised and lowered by rotating by means of worm gearing 59, 60 a screwed rod 57 on which the table is pivoted, or rotated in an horizontal plane by toothed gearing' 64. As modifications of these methods, the kinematograph may be turned about an horizontal axis, or the target screen lowered after shooting with raised sights; while for wind allowance, the kinematograph may be arranged to slide to the right or left.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Recoil and Run Out Gear of Heavy Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A25/20
Filed: 1911-12-04
Granted: 1913-03-04
Abstract: 27,130. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. Dec. 4. Recoil apparatus. - Relates to hydro-pneumatic recoil and run-out gear of the kind having a floating piston separating air and liquid, and in which the recoil brake is of the tension type and has a " dis- "placement ram" integral with or connected to the piston of the brake. The invention consists in constructions whereby the action of the pneumatic run-out device is suspended when the gun is run in and out without firing, and whereby the tension recoil brake may be used as an hydraulic press to run the gun out. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the brake cylinder D is provided with a drain-cock D<ÎÎ>, and the liquid space in the recuperator cylinder F may be placed in communication with a tank F<5> by a stop-cock F<4>. A passage d<Î> formed in the piston-rod d<1> communicates at one end with the rear of the cylinder D, and, at the other end, by means of a stop-cock d<3ÎÎ> and control valve d<2Î> with the hydraulic main, and by a stop-cock d<4ÎÎ> with a hand-pump D<2> for pumping in the special braking-fluid. To run the gun in by gravity, the gun is elevated and the cock F<4> is opened. The air pressure forces the floating piston F<Î> against its stop f<ÎÎ>, and the liquid in the cylinder F passes to the tank F<5>. The gun in moving rearwards by gravity, causes the cylinder D to slide over the displacement ram E, and the liquid thus displaced also passes to the tank F<5> by way of the cock F<4>. For running- out, the gun is placed at 1 degree elevation, the cock F<4> is closed, and the drain-cock D<ÎÎ> may, if desired, be opened to drain off the braking-fluid remaining in the cylinder D. The cock D<ÎÎ> is then closed, the cock d<3ÎÎ> is opened, and the valve d<2Î> is operated to admit water from the main to the rear end of the cylinder D, and the gun is thus run out. The water is then drained off by the cock D<ÎÎ>, and the braking-fluid is re-admitted to the cylinders by opening the cock F<4>. The filling is completed by means of the hand-pump D<2>. In a modification in which the tank F<5> is not employed, the braking-fluid employed is water and the cylinder D is placed in direct communication with the hydraulic main or to exhaust by an " intercepting valve "; the gun can be run in and out by this construction without the necessity of draining the brake cylinder as in the first construction. This construction may be adapted to run the gun out after recoil if the pneumatic recuperator should, for any reason, become inoperative.
