Title: Improvements in Breech Mechanism for Guns.
Inventor: SMITH GEORGE LEONARD
IPC: F41A3/08
Filed: 1912-03-19
Granted: 1913-03-19
Abstract: 6739. Smith, G. L., and Asbury, D. F. March 19. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Consists in an interrupted - screw mechanism having the features set forth below, whereby the breech is opened and closed without the necessity for the operator standing behind the breech, the unlocking rotation of the breech-block is caused to initiate the swinging of the carrier, and, conversely, the closing swing of the carrier is caused to initiate the locking rotation of the block, and the hand-lever is prevented from rotating the breech-block during the swinging movements of the carrier. The parts are constructed so that they are interchangeable between right and left side breeches. The handlever 7, shown in rear elevation in Fig. 1 and side elevation in Fig. 5, is carried by a radiallydisposed shaft 8, Fig. 6, mounted in the carrier 3. A crank 8<a> at the inner end of the shaft 8 engages, by its pin, with a 'cross-head' 9 slidahly mounted in a block 10, which is rigidly connected to the breech-screw 2. When, therefore, the lever 7 is swung rearwards from the position shown in Fig. 5 into an horizontal position, the crank 8<a> effects the unlocking rotation of the breech-block. The carrier is then swung aside by a sideways pull upon the lever. During the swinging of the carrier, the reverse rotation of the lever 7 is prevented by an extension 7<d> of the lever, which passes over the lower of two arms 13 fixed to the gun 12 and curved concentric with the carrier-hinge pin 5. The unthreaded gaps 2<a> of the breechblock 2 and screw-box 1 are wider than the steps of the threaded portions, so that, after the threads are disengaged, in unlocking, the rotation of the breech-block may be continued through a small angle, the excess rotation being for the purpose nf causing a cam-roller 2<d>, Fig. 9, on the breech-block to co-operate with a cam-surface 1<b> on the gun-breech 1, in order to initiate the outward swing of the carrier 3. On the other hand, in swinging the carrier to close the breech, the engagement of the roller 2<d> with the cam-surface initiates the locking rotation of the breech-block. Heavy guns are provided with a device, which however does not form part of the invention, for braking the carrier 3 during the swinging movements. The device comprises an horizontal plate, the edge of which is concentric with the hinge-pin 5, and which projects into an unthreaded gap in the breech-block, so that, when the block is unlocked, the edge of one of the threaded stops rests upon the plate, and may be caused to bear hard thereon by pressure on the hand-lever 7. The firing-mechanism shown in Fig. 1 is described in Specification 1923/13.

Title: Improvements in Universal Joints.
Inventor: PRESCOTT SYDNEY IRVIN
IPC: F16D3/207
Filed: 1912-05-13
Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 11,335. Prescott, S. I. May 13. Universal joints.-A universal joint comprises a driving-socket 1 provided with a ball-centring surface 3 and an internal thread 5 for engaging an open-ended member 6 also provided with a ball - centring surface 9. Four cones 10 are located in the transverse diametrical plane of the socket, each provided with a shank 12 forced under heavy pressure into an aperture in the socket. The cones are cut back at their non- active parts so as to reduce their width. A ball member 13 is provided with four external channels shaped to contact with the cones at various angles of oscillation. The ball member is forged on the end of the shaft 16, the channels 14 being left slightly narrower than their finished size. The ball member is turned to size and placed in a jig the interior of which corresponds with that of the socket 1. Four milling-cutters of the shape and size of the cones are moved through the apertures into the channels in the ball and the shaft 16 is moved to every position which it will have to assume in working. The ball member is then hardened. The included angle of the cones is approximately 90 degrees and the adjacent walls of adjacent channels are substantially parallel. This tends to force the cones into their apertures. The flattened ends 17, 18 co-operate with the socket to form lubricant - chambers in communication with the channels 14. A dust cap 19 with wipers 20, 21 is provided. An extension 23 of the cap 19 is slit and threaded, and clamped on the shaft by a nut 26. The dust cap may be extended by providing a piece to fit over the other half of the socket, this piece being screwed on to the main portion. Slight longitudinal movement may be permitted between the shafts by forming the ball member so as to fit over a squared portion of the shaft 16.

Granted: 1914-03-03
Abstract: 18,021. Goffin, S. F. H. March 3, 1913. Damping-machines.-Relates to machines for affixing stamps and consists in means whereby stamps are fed by rollers under the affixing- plunger which during its descent moves a damping-roller into contact with the stamp strip or over the surface to be stamped. The stamp strip is fed from a spool D by rollers F, F'. Water is conducted from a sealed tank E by absorbent material upon which the damping- roller G rests in a chamber in front of the tank. When the machine is adapted to damp the strip, the roller G is carried by a lever g, Fig. 1, which is rocked on a pivot g<1> by a spring g<2> when the plunger B is depressed, to press the roller G against the strip while it is being fed. When the plunger is raised, a pin on it rocks the lever g to remove the roller G from the strip. This is led from the feed-rollers to the fixed cutter K over narrow ridges e<2>, Fig. 3, which reduce contact with the adhesive surface to a minimum and extend into grooves f<3> in the feed-roller F<1> to guide the strip therefrom. According to a modification, the roller G is carried by a frame g' pivoted to a lever g<5>, Fig. 9, which is rocked on its pivot g<6> by the shaft b<5> of a cancelling-roller b to move the roller G over the surface to be stamped, from which it is raised at the end of its movement by an incline a<1>.

Title: Improvements in the Pedal Mechanism of Automatic Musical Instruments.
Inventor: WHITE FRANK CORNWELL
Filed: 1913-01-09
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 696. White, r. C. Nov, 14, 1912, [Convention date]. Player-pianos; treadle devices.-The treadles fall by gravity to the operative position and are folded up by power-driven mechanism. The movement of a member, such as a folding keyslip, in one direction, starts the treadles on their movement to the operative position. Movement of the key-slip in the other direction couples the treadles to the power-driven mechanism for folding them up. When the keyslip 26 for covering the controlling-levers 26" is folded down, the movement is transmitted through a link 25 to a bell-crank 23, which is pivoted at 24. The link 30 is thereby raised and the nut 32 upon it engages and lifts a member 31 adjustably mounted on the link 16. The link 16 is connected to a crank on a spindle 14 having another crank which is connected to the treadle support 5. The movement of the link 16 therefore moves the treadle-mechanism outwardly to a position from which it can fall by gravity until the support 5 rests on the floor, the impact being cushioned by a spring 10, which is connected to the support 5 and engages an adjustable stop 12. The rotation of the bell-crank 23 also acts through a link 22 to move the latch 20 to a position in which it cannot engage a pin 21 on the moving-board 8 of the equalizer 7. To fold up the treadles, the key-slip 26 is folded up and the treadles 4 are operated to cause the bellows 7<a> to exhaust the equalizer 7 until the pin 21 engages the latch 20. The operation of the treadles 4 is then stopped, and the equalizer 7 expands under the action of its spring 9, the movement being transmitted through the link 19 and cranks 17 on the spindle 18 to the link 16. The link 16 is thus moved downwards and rotates the spindle 14 to fold up the treadle mechanism. The spring 10 assists the spring 9 at the commencement of this folding movement, and a link 29 rotates a cranked spindle 28 to open a valve 27 and connect the equalizer 7 to atmosphere while it is expanding. The movement of the key-slip 26 also operates a slide 34, the wedge-shaped end of which is adapted to raise or lower a bar 36, mounted on pivoted links 37, to lock or unlock the keys 3.
