Title: Improvements in or relating to Fuzes for Projectiles.
Inventor: HOYLE JAMES ROSSITER
IPC: F42C15/22
Filed: 1911-03-20
Granted: 1912-03-20
Abstract: 6923. Hoyle, J. R., and Strange, H. B. March 20. Projectile fuses.-Relates to fuses armed by the pressure of the gases in the gun barrel, and consists mainly in causing this pressure to act on a plunger which bears on a mass of lead or other soft metal and extrudes it through one or more passages. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, lead D is extruded by a plunger E through a passage F<3> and displaces a strong locking-pin F. The lead D is also extruded through a passage G<2> and drives a punch G' through a disk G<3> which seals the passage from a powder charge J to another powder charge N. On impact, the pellet C shears the extruded lead easily and strikes a pin H, and the flash from the powder J is transmitted to the powder N, the explosion of which drives a fulminate charge P against a pin O<2> to explode the main charge of the shell. A ball L, Fig. 3, is arranged in the flash passage to prevent return of flame. The detonator P is contained in a tube O described in Specification 3901/12. In a modification, the lower part of the fuse is dispensed with, and the detonator P is locked and armed in the same way as the pellet C, and moves forward against the pin O<2> by its own inertia on impact. Safety expansion chambers or spaces may be provided about the tube O.

Title: Apparatus for Steering Moving Objects, particularly Ships and Flying Machines, by Chart or for Mapping upon a Chart the Path of such Moving Objects.
Inventor: ALEXIEFF VALERIAN
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1911-04-21
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 9691. Alexieff, V. April 21. Gyroscopic apparatus.-Apparatus for steering ships or flying-machines by chart, or for mapping the course upon a chart, comprises two gyroscopes, the movements of the axes of which control electromagnetic devices which move the course plotting or maintaining member. The axis of the gyroscope 1 is parallel to the axis of the earth, and the axis of the gyroscope 2 is in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the gyroscope 1. A ring 1, 2 supports the rings 5, 6, 7 in which the gyroscope 1 is mounted, the ring 5 also supporting an electric motor 3 and lamp 8. The lamp has an apertured casing 10 whereby light rays pass to the screen 17 of four selenium cells 13, 14, 15, 16, or to one of these cells, in which case circuits are completed. The gyroscope 2 is similarly mounted and acts similarly to complete circuit; acting in conjunction with it is a sidereal clock which neutralizes in the apparatus the effect of the daily rotation of the earth upon its axis. When a circuit is completed, current passes through a winding of the electro-magnets 70 or 93, whereby spindles 63 or 82 are rotated, and the disk 84 correspondingly moved over the chart in accordance with the movements of the ship. For automatic steering, a conducting-wire 90 is laid on the chart over the required course, with which wire two contacts 86, 87 are adapted to coact whenever the ship is off the course. The circuit to the motor 97 driving the steering-gear is put in operation and remains so until the ship is on its course, whereupon the circuit is broken and the rudder takes its mid-position. The disk 84 is rotated on its axis by electric gearing operating in conjunction with the movements of a disk 24 which carries the two gyroscopes. The axes of the gyroscopes are returned to their positions by motors in circuit with the selenium cells operating worm gearing.

Abstract: 19,548. Brooks & Doxey, and Ward, S. Sept. 2. Winding-machines.-The pivoted bracket or arm c, upon which the building-cone B of a cop or yarn winding-machine is mounted so that the inclination of the cone relative to the spindle A can be varied, has an extended lever C, the lower end of which works over a graduated quadrant F. A pin or catch engages with one of a series of holes f in the quadrant so that the lever and bracket or arm can be secured in any position to adjust the inclination of the cone, and the lever can be reset in the same position without experimental adjustment. In a modification, the end of a calibrated screw passing through the lever bears against the frame E, the screw being locked after adjustment by a nut. The pivot axis of the bracket or arm c passes through the lower edge b<1> of the cone so that the lower edge of the cone is always maintained approximately in the same position.

Granted: 1912-12-13
Abstract: 28,060. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Dec. 13. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Relates to recocking-gear, and consists in a device which is carried by the cradle, and is constructed so that it will actuate the recocking arm on the gun although the gun may not be fully run-out. The construction is also such that, should the actuating part of the device not return fully to its normal position after a recocking operation, it will be returned thereto by the recocking- arm on the gear during the ensuing run-out. Fig. 1 is a side elevation and Fig. 2 a plan of the device, which is adapted to actuate the recocking-arm A' on the gun A by means of a nose C<2> on a handled sleeve C<1>, the nose being of substantial length to engage the arm A<1> although the gun may not fully-run-out. The sleeve is rotatably mounted on a fixed cylinder B<1>, which cylinder may be the casing- for a part of the firing-mechanism described in Specification 16,216/11. A ring D is slidably mounted in the sleeve C' to which it is keyed by keys d<1>, and is pressed forward by a spring C<Î> causing a cam-edge d on the ring D to engage a similar part b on the cylinder B<1>. When the sleeve is rotated to recock the striker, the cam-surfaces force back the ring D and compress the spring C<Î>. This spring afterwards returns the device to the normal position; but, should the spring fail, the parts are returned when the gun runs out, by the arm A<1> engaging the toe C<2> and driving the sleeve C' forward until it catches up the ring D and forces the cam-surfaces b, d into re-engagement.

Abstract: 1499. Grosvenor, J. E. Jan. 19. Reeds ; beat - up motions.-In order to keep the warp threads in position, in looms for weaving tufted fabrics as described in Specification 12,312/09, [Class 142, Looms, Kinds &c.], the reed 23, Fig. 49, is provided with upright wires 111, while guides 113 are fixed parallel to the deflectors 24 and are secured to the same sliding bar 115, an horizontal wire 116 provided with distance-pieces connecting the parts 113, 24. In a modification. the reed has blades 117, Fig. 46, having lower enlarged parts 118 separated by pairs of uprights 119. The deflectors for the tuft yarns move down the gaps 120. When the lay is in its backward position, the warps are held apart by the thick parts 118 to allow for the insertion of the gripper - blades, but they move into the upper part of the reed and are thus held by the uprights 119 close together again as the lay moves forwards. The tuft yarns held by grippers 9, 10, Figs. 39 and 44, on bars 5, 6 are moved forwards by blunt teeth 21 on the bar 6, which may be provided with a spring- pressed plate 121 having blunt teeth 122 projecting over the teeth 21, so that, immediately after the gripper-blades have entered between the warp threads, the teeth 121 will enter between and open the warp threads to allow the teeth 21 to enter.
