Title: Improvements in Time and Percussion Fuses for Projectiles.
Inventor: MICHAELIDES ZINON
Filed: 1907-06-25
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 14,669. Michaelides, Z., and Parker, G. H. June 25. Fuses for projectiles.-In a mechanical time and percussion fuse, a fan A drives a worm drum N through worm gears e, J and K, M ; the worm N is mounted on a square part of the shaft L and can slide thereon. A spring-operated catch X pivoted at Y has a projection Z and a sector-shaped piece 4 in engagement with the threads of the worm N ; this catch normally lies in a recess 2 in the hammer C. The hammer is disposed in a square or other casing P so that it cannot rotate ; it is formed in two parts C, S, the part S fitting a square hole R in the part C ; the several parts are locked by shear pins U, Fig. 3. The primer is arranged at F, and passages S' allow the flash to pass through to the charge. When the projectile is discharged, the pin U shears close to the casing P, the hammer sets back, and compresses a spring Q, and the catch X slips to the front of the hammer. At a predetermined distance, the toe Z slips down the cut end 3 of the worm N, and the catch X releases the hammer, which is thrown on to the primer F and fires it. If the projectile impacts before, the pins U are sheared at u and the front half S of the hammer is thrown forward and the primer F fired. To allow of the setting of the worm N, the wheel M is arranged to drive the shaft L by friction and the shaft projects through a recessed bearing 0<1>. A key for rotating the shaft L and thereby setting the worm M is shown in Fig. 5. It comprises three concentric cylinders 8, 14, 17 interconnected by means of slots 9 and projections at the end of the tube 14 and projections 18 and a spiral groove 18<1>. The key-piece 20 has a ratchet clutch 23 to prevent its backward rotation, and has a toothed disk 21 kept in engagement with a corresponding part on the cylinder 17 by means of a spring 22. By depressing the sliding cylinder 14, the cylinder 17 and key 20 are rotated and the setting is done. A slider 24 limits the motion of the sliding cylinder 14, and consequently the amount of set given to the worm N. Graduations 11 are provided on the cylinder 8, and the slider 24 is clamped at the required division by means of a screw. Graduationg may be arranged on the worm N, and a spy-hole with a lens 5 may be arranged opposite to it in the casing B. The fan is protected during storage by a cap 6.

Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 23,205. Bullock, C. A. H., and Daniel, P. G. E. Oct. 21. Tickets, issuing.-Relates to a machine primarily for supplying postage stamps, and the like, but applicable for vouchers &c. of the type in which the stamps are delivered one by one from a continuous strip stored upon a rotatable spool. It is designed to be operated by the thumb or finger. The stamp strip c is carried on a cardboard or other spool c, which fits on a flanged roller b revolubly mounted in bearings a<1> in the casing a. To enable the spool to be placed in position, one of the flanges is removable. The strip passes through a slotted guide a<2>, on which is mounted a spring or gravity controlled lever d provided with bevel teeth d', which engage with recesses a<3> in the bed of the guide. The distance between the teeth d' and the end a<6> of the guide must be some multiple, preferably two, of the width of a stamp. The strip is fed forward until the teeth engage the perforations between the second and third stamps. The operator now depresses the thumb-piece end d<2> of the lever and draws his thumb to the right. By this means the stamps are first freed and then drawn to the right. The lever is also released and the teeth come into contact with the third stamp which passes beneath them until the teeth snap into engagement with the perforations between the third and fourth stamps. The perforations between the first and second stamps are now exactly over the end a<6> of the guide, and, by pressing the first stamp on to the damping-roller e it is severed and damped. The damping-roller is revolubly mounted in a water trough a<5>, preferably formed integral with the casing, and is covered with felt or other absorbent substance.

Title: Improved Manufacture of 1-phenyl-2: 3-dimethyl-4-dimethylamino-5-pyrazolone.
Filed: 1907-12-12
Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 27,485. Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning. Jan. 10, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Pyrazole and pyrazolone derivatives.-1-Phenyl- 2: 3-dimethyl - 4 - dimethylamino- 5 - pyrazolone is obtained by treating with a methylating-agent an alkyl or acidyl derivative of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4- amino-5-pyrazolone, containing an alkyl or acidyl group linked to the pyrazolone oxygen or to the nitrogen of the amino group. The following derivatives are suitable as parent materials in this process. 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-urethano-5 pyrazolone, 1-pheny 1-3 methyl-4-urethano-5-pyrazolone methyl carbonate, formed by the action of one and two molecular proportions respectively of methyl chlorcarbonate on an alkaline solution of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4 amino 5-pyrazolone; 1-phenyl- 3-methyl - 5 - pyrazolone - 4 - urethanoacetic ester, formed by the action of methyl chloracetate in presence of sodium methylate on' the urethanoderivatives specified above ; 1-pbenyl-3-methyl-5- pyrazolone-4 aminoacetic acid, obtained by hydrolysis of the urethanoacetio ester above ; 1-phenyl- 3-methyl-4-amino-5-ethoxypyrazole, obtained by reduction of the corresponding 4-benzeneazo compound, this last-mentioned compound being formed by the action of sodium ethylate on 1-phenyl-3- methyl-4-benzeneazo-5-chlorpyrazole ; and the 1- phenyl - 3 - methyl-4-cyanmethylamino-5-ethoxypyrazole obtained by the action of formaldehyde and hydrocyanic acid on 1-phenyl.3-methyl-4-amino-5- ethoxypyrazole. Another suitable derivative is prepared by allowing methyl chloracetate to react on the alkali salt of 1-phenyl-3.methyl-4-nitro-5- pyrazolone, and reducing the 1-phenyl-3-methyl.4 nitropyrazole-5-oxyacetic acid methyl ester thus formed to give the internal anhydride of 1-phenyl- 3-methyl-4-aminopyrazole- 5 - oxyacetic acid ; this body is converted into its monomethyl derivative by the action of dimethyl sulphate in alkaline solution.
Patent GB-190727750-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Actuating Signals on Engines on Railways and the like.
Inventor: STRATTON HENRY AUBREY
Filed: 1907-12-16
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 27,750. Stratton, H. A. Dec. 16. Contacts, mechanical ; signals, lamp.-Two contacts are provided on the track both at the home and distant signals, two of these, one at each signal, being in line so that they will both operate the same engine contact, the other two operating two separate contacts. The track contacts consist of ground levers B, pivoted to standards b and raised or lowered by eccentrics C, which are operated from the cabin connecting-wire c<2> through the quadrant c<1>, so that the safety lever is raised when the wire is pulled, and the danger lever when the wire is slack. The two safety levers, at home and distant signals, are in line. The engine has three contactlevers D pivoted on a bracket d, the centre one being the safety lever. These levers have renewable rounded striking-pieces, and rubber cushions to take the force of the blow. When either of the engine levers is raised, one of the rods F, F<1>, F<2> is raised, and the bell H is operated. At the same time, one of the shutters of the lamp G is released owing to the upward movement of the rod F, F<1>, or F<2> raising a corresponding lever l<3>, Fig. 6, and causing the cam-piece l<2> to pull back the spring-held rod L from beneath the shutter corresponding to the engine contact operated. The lamp has three coloured glasses j, the two outer indicating danger, for distant and home signals respectively, and the centre one line ' clear' for both signals. The shutters K in front of the glasses are normally held up by the rods L, and are channelled down the centre to prevent jamming, the channel extending nearly to the bottom so that the shutter has only to fall a short distance to clear the rod L in any position. Finger-pieces k<2> are provided for replacement. A starting signal may be given by raising a stretched wire, supported on rocking arms alongside the track and connected by a wire to the signal-box. The wire, in its raised position, operates to lift the outside engine contact D, which has a projection to engage with this starting wire. The bell is thus rung on an engine standing over the wire.

Title: Improvements in Electrically Controlled Lifts, Hoists, Cranes and the like.
Inventor: CHAUDOIR EUGENE
Filed: 1908-01-29
Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 2074. Chaudoir, E. Jan. 29. Motor control systems.- A control system for electric lifts for use with such a system as that described in Specification No. 4116, A.D. 1904, comprises a partly-balanced rod running the whole length of the floors carrying contacts to the direction switches, which rod may be locked against vertical and rocking movement ; handles on the rod project through slots in indicator plates at each floor, and also release the door-locking catches. The rod A carries a bridge-piece D insulated from it and serving to connect the contact shown on the right with any of the contacts E, F, G, H. At each floor is an indicator plate having a number of horizontal slots corresponding to the number of floors, these being connected at one end by a vertical slot. A slotted casting Q fixed to the rod is engaged by the plunger R of a solenoid S, and locks the rod against rocking movement when the current is on. Each floor has two direction switches K, excepting the top and bottom floors, which have only one, these being wired up to the contacts E, F, G, H and to the terminals L, M, N of the `up' and down' solenoids. To operate the lift, a handle, keyed to the rod and projecting through the indicator plate at each floor, is moved into the horizontal slot corresponding to the required floor. On the cage arriving, a further horizontal movement of any handle brings a bent back part of the handle at that floor against the door catch and releases the door. Door contacts 3 prevent movement of the cage until the door is closed. The direction switches K consist of two break-knife switches 4, 5, one for each direction solenoid, and fitted on a base with slotted holes for adjustment. Each switch is fitted with a bell-erank lever 6, which operates it by means of a pin 7 moving in a slot in the knife-carrier 8. As the cage V travels down, the levers 6 are turned over by a roller 9 on the cage or balance weight, until the cage arrives opposite the desired landing, when the circuit is broken. By the duplication of contacts and switches, the system may be applicable to two- and three-phase current, and the indicator plate may be used instead of a separate selecting-device if telephones are required in conjunction with the lift.
