Title: Improvements in machine guns
IPC: F41A5/30
Filed: 1918-05-31
Abstract: 138,949. Halse, S. C., Newton, C. J., Carnegie, F., and Westover, G. May 31, 1918. Machine guns.-Relates to automatic guns of the Vickers type in which the recoil action is pro. duced in part by the backward pressure of the cartridge upon the lock and in part by gas operation. According to the invention, the use of a muzzle attachment to effect the gas operation is avoided by surrounding the breech-end of the barrel by an adapter a having an adjustable bush c formed with a chamber or cylinder k to receive a grooved piston member g on the barrel. The gun gases enter the cylinder k through a passage h, and, after acting on the piston g, are exhausted through an aperture f and the hollow trunnions c. The bush c is adjustable to vary the recoil effect and is looked in position by a nut i. The adapter may be provided with a lubricating-ring, and the hollow trunnions permit of the circulation of air for cooling purposes.

Filed: 1918-06-04
Abstract: 120,178. Grousseau, E. de, and Vicongne, A. April 10, 1918, [Convention date]. Fats, extracting by solvents. To obtain fat, theobromine, and caffline from cocoa and chocolate waste, the waste is treated with a mixture of tetrachlorethane and phenol in the presence of aqueous ammonia. The solvents are removed from the extract thus obtained by distillation, and the fat removed from the residue by a solvent such as petroleum ether or dichlorethylene. The extracting and distilling apparatus are shown diagrammatically in the figure. Extraction takes place in a steam jacketed vessel 1 provided with a filter 3. The tetrachlorethane and phenol are supplied from tanks 36 and 37 through a tank 6 and pipe 10, and aqueous ammonia from a tank 8 through a pipe 11. Ammonia volatilized during the process is condensed in a condenser 7 and returned to the macerater. The solution is then passed to a still 16 which is exhausted by a pump 20. The first portions of distillate, consisting of ammonia and water, are received in a vessel 23 and returned to the tank 8; the next portion is passed to a rectifying column 24, whence phenol is returned to the still 16, and tetrachlorethane passes to a condenser 26, a receiver 21, and the tank 36; the last portion of the distillate, consisting of phenol with a small quantity of tetrachlorethane, passes by a pipe 27 direct to the condenser 26, and thence to a receiver 22 and the tank 37. The residue in the still 16 passes to a still 38, where it is treated as above described.

Variable-speed gearing comprises a plurality of driving-shafts A, A<1>, A<2>, Figs. 1, 2 and 3, geared together and always simultaneously operative and a clutch on each shaft through which a different speed is imparted to a single driven shaft C. A wheel B fast on shaft A constantly meshes with wheels B<1>, B<2> loose on the shafts A<1>, A<2> respectively. The wheels B<1>, B<2> are connected also by a wheel H loose on a countershaft J for reversing. Upon these four shafts are clutches D, D<2>, D<4>, D<7> which are released so as to be pressed into action by their springs one at a time by a. cam plate L which turns about a pivot-shaft L<1> and is actuated by a lever L<4>.

A fabric raising machine of the kind in which pile laying rollers and counter pile rollers 5 acting on a fabric web passing through the machine are arranged in alternation round the periphery of a rotary drum 4 rotatably supporting the rollers, and in which two externallytoothed wheels 7, one at each end of the drum, are supported rotatably with respect to the drum and coaxially therewith and each mesh with a respective driving pinion 8 and carry respective rings, the internal peripheries of which engage the pile laying and counter pile rollers respectively whereby the rollers rotate on the drum when the rings rotate relatively to the drum, is characterized in that pinions 6, rigid in rotation with the rollers, engage internal teeth on the rings and the driving pinions 8 are driven through the intermediary of at least one driving shaft operatively connected with a planet-wheel carrier of a regulating differential gear 18 and driven at a speed dependent on the speed of the fabric web. In the arrangement shown motor 1 drives the drum 4 through V-belt gearing and pinion 2 and a drive is taken from the drum' shaft 3 to the material conveying roller 17. The drive for the pinions 8 is taken from the shaft of roller 17 through gearing 12, 13 and differentials 14 and 9. The speed of the left-hand sun-wheel of the differential 14 can be varied by the regulating differential 18, the two sun-wheels of which are driven in opposite directions by means of two oppositely threaded worms 19, from an auxiliary motor 20, the transmission ratio between the motor and one of the worms being fixed and that between the motor and the other worm being variable so that the output speed of the differential 18 can be infinitely varied. Also one of the sun-wheels of the differential 9 can be variably braked by a brake 11. By the arrangement the relative speeds of the drum, the pile raising and the pile laying rollers and the fabric passing through the machine are inter-dependent and can be accurately adjusted to produce any required operating conditions. In a second embodiment each driving pinion is driven through the intermediary of a separate driving-shaft cooperating with a respective regulating differential gear.

In a system for analysing a physical process, a scanning gauge is movable across the width of a length of travelling material to provide a first signal indicative of a characteristic, e.g. thickness of the material. A second gauge is positioned at a fixed point and provides a second signal indicative of the characteristic; the second signal is divided into two mutually exclusive frequency components which are supplied to variance computer means together with the first signal to provide three separate signals indicative of computed values of statistical variance of the first signal and the two components of the second signal, the two component variance signals are summed, and the difference between this sum and the signal indicative of the variance of the first signal is obtained to represent the variance of a component of the variance of the characteristic associated with variations in the material which occur across its width. A single computer may be used on a time-sharing basis.

Each row of bottle-containing cells is mounted on shaft 9 provided with a lever 8 having a roller 10 for engaging a cam surface 11. Springs 12 maintain the bottom edge of the cells in engagement with stops 13 on the drum as the bottles pass through the vat solution, the bottle necks engaging between slots 7 in oppositelyplaced curved stop members 6 on the drum until the rollers 10 engage the cam surface 11. The cells are then moved against the action of the springs into a position such that the bottles are discharged by gravity, the empty cells then being positioned so that fresh bottles to be cleaned may be inserted at the other side of the machine. Previous to the discharge movement, the nozzles on a rinsing pipe 14 register with the bottles and inject clear water to rinse the inside of the bottles. This rinsing device is operated through links 16, 17, and a crank 18 on a shaft driven by the gearing rotating the drum 1. A cross member 22 on an arm 24 connected to the crank 18 stops the bottles as they are discharged on to the tray, and this member 22 is then lifted into a position behind the bottles to push them down towards a receptacle. During this movement, the bottles are rinsed from a tap 25. Rotary agitators 26 are provided to keep the temperature of the vat more uniform and to remove cork &c. from the surface where the bottles leave the cleansing liquid.
