Patent GB-191201740-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Slitting and Rewinding Machines.
IPC: B26D1/22
Filed: 1912-01-22
Granted: 1913-03-25
Abstract: 1740. Marks, E. C. R., [Cameron Machine Co.]. Jan. 22. Feeding and winding webs.-A machine for slitting and rewinding paper, cloth, &c. comprises a disk cutter adapted to coact with a plain-snrfaced roll to effect the severance without distorting the material from the plane of the web, and rewinding-mechanism consisting of a number of rolls adapted to engage the surface of all the coils to exert a uniform tension on the web at all points laterally thereof at the plane of severance. Separators may be used between the cutting and rewinding mechanisms to guide and clean the edges of the strips. The web 16 passes over guiding- rolls to the cutting mechanism which may consist, as described in Specification 22,624/12, [Class 31 (i), Cutting and severing machines &c.], of one or more cutting-disks 19 adapted to coact with a backing-member composed of sleeves 18 keyed to a shaft 17. The strips are then wound into coils 26 by feed-rolls 18, 28 and a pressure roll 27, the speeds of rotation of these rolls preferably increasing in the order named. The coils 26 may be wound on a single arbor 20 or on spools thereon. The pressure roll 27 is carried by a frame which is adapted to rise as the winding proceeds, but which exerts continuously a downward pressure controlled by counterweights 54. The frame is provided with rack-gearing 49 at each side which serves to raise the pressure roll, when desired, to an inoperative position, and to ensure parallel movement for the pressure-roll. The pressureroll is driven preferably from the shaft 17 through screw-gear 41, 42, shaft 40, and bevelgearing 39, 38, the shaft 40 being feathered to the gear 42 to allow it to rise with the pressure roll 27 and maintain the gear connexion 38, 39. The gear 39 is loosely mounted and is adapted to be clamped adjustably against a collar 44 on the shaft 40 by a hand-wheel 46, thereby securing a variable driving-power for the roll 27. Separators or guiding fingers 120 carried in brackets 123, laterally adjustable on a support 124, may be employed to engage the strips. In this case the web is passed round an additional roller 119, which may be readily removed from its bearings when the use of separators is not required, the support 124 of the separators being slid into an inoperative position on brackets 125. Lateral bulging of the coils 26 is prevented by arms 86 which bear with their free ends on the arbor 20 and have their other ends eccentrically mounted on laterally-adjustable brackets 87.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Breech Actuating Apparatus of Ordnance.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
IPC: B27M3/10
Filed: 1913-04-26
Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 9878. Schneider, E. April 26. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to breechactuating apparatus for ordnance of the kind in which the breech is automatically opened, during the run-out movement of the gun, by push - rods actuated by springs, and in which, without using a clutch or safety coupling, distortion or fracture of the push-rods is avoided in the event of any abnormal resistance occurring to the opening of the breech. According to the invention, two distinct and independent resilient operating - members a r e mounted on a fixed part of the gun and are not permanently connected to the b r e e c h mechanism, one member o p e n i n g the breech and the other closing it. The breech is shown closed in Fig. 1 and fully open in Fig. 4, the breech-block v being of the segmental type actuated by a lever o. A spring-actuated push-rod b, carried by the cradle u, closes the breech by acting upon a stop s, and a similar push-rod e acting upon a stop t opens the breech, the spring f being sufficiently strong to open the breech, and the spring c sufficiently strong to close the breech and also to compress the spring f. A casing g on the gun carries a bolt h which has teeth corresponding to similar teeth b<3> on the rod b. Upon the shaft k of the extractor j is keyed a cam l having a nose l<1> adapted to co-operate with a spring catch r on an arm o<3> of the lever o. A sleeve n loosely mounted on the shaft k carries two ratchet-wheels x, y, the wheel x being displaced in one direction by a catch m on the cam l to withdraw the teeth of the bolt h from the teeth on the rod b by the teeth of the other wheel y engaging the bolt h, as shown in Fig. 4. In operation, when the gun is fired and recoils, the bolt h yields and clears the teeth on the rod b, but the rod e moves rearwards in contact with the stop t. At the commencement of the run out, the spring f opens the breech by opposing the stop t, and the catch r engages the nose l' of the cam l and rotates the extractor shaft k and extractor, the catch m slipping over the wheel x; the bolt h will then engage the teeth b<2> on the rod b, and further run out will thus compress the spring c. The breech is now completely open and the gun fully run out. Any failure of the breech to open only results in a compression of the spring f. When the next cartridge is inserted, the flange engages the extractor, thus rocking the arm l and catch n, rotating the ratchet-whee's x, y and withdrawing the bolt h froui the rod b, which then moves rearwards to close the breech. In a modified arrangement, the rods b, e are provided with pistons working in cylinders of different diameters, both cylinders being in communication with each other and with an air-accumulator.

Granted: 1913-09-25
Abstract: 12,310. Bauen, P. S. May 27. Packing. - A surgiþal bandage is put up so as to seal it from the air, and prevent it from accidentally unwinding after it has been opened, and also so as to remove the loose threads from the edges during unwinding. The roll is enclosed in a paper &c. covering 13, which may be opened by means of a cord 14, and the ends are covered with adhesive disks 12, to which the loose edge threads cling during unwinding, and which prevent accidental unwinding. The centres of the disks may be non-adhesive to allow them to fall away when the bandage is nearly unwound, and the edges may be arranged to overlap the edges of the cover 13. The roll may be cut across the ends to facilitate the detachment of the loose threads. Instead of disks, adhesive strips may be used, and, in this case, the ends of the roll may be enclosed by ordinary wrappers.

Abstract: 18,506. Dunn, J. D. Aug. 14. Attaching to articles.-To prevent children or other persons from swinging upon a gate, the eye or pivot bolt of one or more of the hinges is provided with one or more springs, which normally support the gate in an horizontal position so that it can swing freely, but which, when an additional weight comes upon the gate, permits the free end of the gate to be depressed into contact with the ground to prevent swing- ing. As shown, the eye-bolt a passes freely through the hanging style b of the gate and is surrounded by a spring h bearing against an adjusting-nut g and a washer k. The spring h normally holds the gate horizontal but permits it to be tilted into the position shown in broken lines. The spring h and nut g also serve to take up sag.

Abstract: 18,517. Heany, J. A. Aug. 14. Wire, covering by winding.-Conductors are insulated by first covering a thread with a coating of fibres in apparatus shown in Fig. 1 and then winding it round the conductor. In order to apply the covered thread to the conductor, the spindle 18, Fig. 2, is mounted on a revolving disk 24 through the middle of which the conductor, after passing between guiding-rollers 21 and around an adhesiveapplying roller 22, is led. It then travels around a roller 27 in a tank containing waterproofing composition such as paint or varnish made from asphaltum, gums, or resins, &c., or a fire-proofing composition such as sodium silicate, silicate of lime, kaolin, oxide of aluminium, sulphate of lime, &c. The conductor then passes through smoothing and finishing devices, preferably comprising rotary disks 29 having bell-crank levers 31 provided with jaws 34 pressed together by springs 33. Heat or moisture may be applied by a burner or spraying device 40. The thread core may be removed by incineration, or may be made of waterproof or fire-proof material, or may be rendered waterproof or fire-proof.
