Title: Improvements in Percussion Firing Gear for Ordnance and the like.
Inventor: DONALDSON HAY FREDERICK
IPC: F41A19/38
Filed: 1911-08-10
Granted: 1912-07-25
Abstract: 18,147. Donaldson, Sir H. F., and Holden, H. C. L. Aug. 10. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to percussion firing-mechanism of the kind in which, to effect the firing, the mainspring is compressed from the rear before the sear is released. According to the invention (1) the mainspring and its rear abutment block are arranged within the striker; (2) a separate spring is employed to retract the striker and return the firing-lever; and (3) the sear is engaged with the retracted striker by a positively-acting device. The mainspring c, which is shown in Fig. 1 in the position of rest, bears at its rear end against a block f which slides in the hollow striker b, and is retained therein by a screwed plug j. An arm on the firing-lever g engages with the block f, so that, when the lever is pulled, tEe block is driven forwards and the mainspring is compressed until a toe h on the block rocks the sear d and releases the striker. After firing, the reaction of the spring moves the block f up to the plug j, and a torsion spring i then retracts the striker and returns the firing-lever to the position shown. The sear d is re-engaged by a projection c on the striker acting upon a lug s on the sear. A second arm k on the lever g co-operates with a notch l in the breechblock a and permits firing only when the breech is locked.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Gearing or Appliances for Preventing Overwinding in Colliery Engines and the like.
Inventor: WALKER JAMES
IPC: B66B5/08
Filed: 1911-08-12
Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 18,261. Walker, J. Aug. 12. [Cognate Application, 23,754/11.] Overwinding, preventing; emergency power cut-off gear.-Mechanism for preventing overwinding and overspeed of winding-engines comprises sliding bars actuated by pins on a rotating disk to cut off steam and apply brakes if the throttle is not closed at the right time, a floating lever jointly controlled by a governor and an eccentric on the depth-indicator shaft to regulate the speed throughout the wind, and tappets lying in the path of the cage and actuating trip gear if the cage passes the stopping-place. A pin 2 on a rotating plate 1 is adapted to engage towards the end of the wind with one or other of two pawls 8 mounted on sliding bars 7 which, when raised, first close switches to ring a warning-bell and subsequently engage by means of adjustable hooks 9 with arms 13 on a rock-shaft 12. If the throttle is closed by the engineman at the right time, the plate 1 is withdrawn into inoperative position, but if the throttle is left open, a trip gear releases a weighted lever 21, which is connected to the brake and throttle. The pin 2 carries an antifriction roller, and is pressed outwards from the plate 1 by a spring. The indicator shaft 3 is fitted with an eccentric coupled by a strap and rod 25 to one end of a floating lever 26, the other end of which is attached to the sleeve of a governor 27. The central pivot of the lever 26 is free to slide on a vertical rod 29 and when raised beyond a certain point engages a head on the rod. The rod is coupled by levers and a link to the rock-shaft 12 so that any increase of speed beyond that allowable for the position of the cage brings the trip gear into operation. In order to allow acceleration at the start of the wind, the lever 26 is restrained by a hooked arm 59 engaging a pin 31, the hooked arm being disengaged automatically when the engine has completed a quarter of the wind. To allow a greater speed when winding coal, the head of the rod 29, Fig. 7, may be fitted with levers 36 controlled by links 39 and a rod 42 from the engineman's platform. In the position shown, the apparatus is arranged for winding coal, and when men are to be carried, the levers 36 are lowered that their ends 37 are interposed between the lever 26 and the nut on the rod 29. The weighted lever 21 by which the brake and throttle are controlled may also be arranged to centre the reversing-lever during its fall. Vertically-moving blocks 15 are coupled by chains to tappets lying in the path of the cage, and are arranged to engage levers 14 on the rock-shaft 12 when the cage passes beyond the bank, as for instance if the engine were started in the wrong direction.

Abstract: 23,734. Goldschmidt, R. Oct. 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Frequency, changing; phase, changing.-In a wireless receiving system for undamped waves, the wave frequency is reduced to an audible frequency by means of an asynchronously rotating commutator or toothed disk, or of several such connected in cascade. Bv means of a phase-splitting device, the received waves may produce a rotating field in a winding connected to the segments of a commutator, but the simple arrangement shown in Fig. 2 is preferably used, the aerial and earth being connected to the two segments of a commutator, and the brushes C, D to a telephone. Fig. 3<c> shows the form of current produced when the brushes are rotated slightly above or below the synchronous speed. Fig. 4 shows the current produced when one of the commutator segments is omitted. Several such devices may be connected in cascade ; or this arrangement may be simplified by causing the converted current to be repeatedly returned to the primary terminals and again passed through the apparatus until the desired frequency has been obtained. In this arrangement, the aerial current is led to the slip-rings S, Fig. 6, and the current taken from the brushes B<1>, B<2> is passed through the tuning-device a<1> back to the slip-rings, again transformed and returned through the tuning- device a<2>, and finally passed into the tuned receiver circuit T.
