Patent GB-191118291-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Gun Carriages.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
IPC: F41A27/22
Filed: 1911-08-12
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 18,291. Schneider, E. Aug. 12. Axles; changing gauge of road wheels. -Consists in a device for varying the wheel gauge of gun carriages. The spindles B carry external screw-threads b, engaging with the internal threads a of the common sleeve A. Each wheel hub c carries on its inner side a sleeve D having teeth d<1>, d<2> adapted to engage with a transverse clutch member E. which is compelled to rotate with the spindle B and rides as a nut on the screwthreads f of a rod F operated by the handles g. The rods F of the two wheels are caused to move together by the engagement of keys f<2> with slots h in a tube H. To increase the gauge, the handles g are rotated, causing the screws f to move the clutch members E into engagement with the teeth d<1>. In this position, spring-pins I in the spindles B, shown in section in Fig. 5, engage recesses in the members E and lock the wheels to the spindles. The wheels are then rotated, or run along the ground, and they then separate owing to the rotation of the screwed spindles B in the non-rotating sleeve A. At the end of the motion, the keys f<2> strike the ends of the slots h, and the rods F and clutch members E cease to move outwards; but the wheels C continue their outward motion until the teeth d<1> are disengaged from the members E, which are then again held by the pins I in the normal unlocked position, thus permitting the wheels to ride loosely on their spindles B. Reversing the motion of the handles g causes the members E to engage with the teeth d<2>, and the gauge can then be diminished by rotating the wheels; these are unlocked again automatically, when the minimum gauge is attained, by the contact and consequent stoppage of the rods F. The three-part axle may be replaced by an axle consisting of only two parts fitting into each other.

Abstract: 19,341. Merrylees, H. Aug. 30. Boat raising and lowering gear.-Relates to means for launching ships' boats of the kind in which the boats are stowed inboard in an inverted position and are turned to the correct position during the operation of moving it outboard. The boat, when inboard, is supported in an inverted position on arms 2, Fig. 3, carried by a longitudinal shaft 3. The shaft is rotated to carry the boat outboard from a hand-wheel connected up with the shaft 3 through reducing- gear. To equalize the load on the gear in raising and lowering operations, the shaft 3 carries a lever 21, Fig. 4, connected by a link 23 to a lever 25 pivoted to the deck at 26. Laminated springs 31 are connected by a yoke link 29 to the central portion of the lever 25, and are at their maximum degree of compression when the arms 2 are fully in or out board. Hinged brackets 34 keep the boat on the arms 2 during the operations.

Abstract: 10,838. Fairweather, H. G. C., [Hart Manufacturing Co.]. May 7. Electro-magnetic switches of the kind which are locked mechanically after closure and are unlocked by an additional electro-magnet are constructed as follows. The switch is closed by an electro-magnet 3, 3<1> in circuit with an auxiliary switch 23 which is bpened by the locking movement of a detent, and is opened by an electro-magnet 11 in circuit 'with an auxiliary switch 27 which is closed by the main switch closing action. Solenoids 3, 3<1>, when energized at contact 30 of a hand switch, Fig. 7, draw cores 4, 4<1> down against springs 5, 5<1> and carry contacts 7 attached to a crossbar 6 against stationary contacts 8, 8<1>. The bar is locked in its depressed position by one or more balls 14 playing in holes in a non-magnetic sleeve 16 surrounding a headed rod 15 which is spring seated upon and travels with the bar 6. The balls project into recesses of the rod 15 until the holes come opposite recesses 13 in a stationary core 12, whereupon the balls enter the stationary recesses and lock the sleeve, cross-bar, and contacts, as shown in Fig. 2. By means of a metallic ring 28 attached below the sleeve 16, and contacts 27 projecting through a spring-seated member 20, circuit is prepared for a solenoid 11, and by means of a downward projection of the rod 15 contacts 24 attached to the member 20 are separated from contacts 23. breaking the circuit of the solenoids 3, 3<1>. To open the locked switch, the hand switch is closed at contacts 31 completing circuit for the solenoid 11 which lifts a hollow core 19 attached to the member 20 and forces up the spring- seated rod 15, the recesses in which then come opposite the balls 14 and allow them to move out of the stationary recesses 13, the bar 6 and its attached cores and contacts being then thrown upwards by springs 5, 5<1>. The contacts 23 prepare for the completion of the circuit of the solenoids 3. 3<1> when it is desired again to close the main switch. Other forms of detent may be used.
