Patent GB-191228762-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Gun Mountings.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A27/24
Filed: 1912-12-13
Granted: 1914-01-13
Abstract: 28,762. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Dec. 13. Mountings.-Relates to hydraulic elevating and training gears of the kind in which the motors are supplied with fluid in varying rates and in either direction by a pump having a control device operated by the elevating or training hand-wheel, and in which the motors are stopped automatically by a reverse movement of the control device effected by means of a toothed rack. According to the invention, the rack is connected to a part between which and the part carrying the pump and motor relative movement takes place during the elevation or training of the gun. Fig. 5 is a side elevation and Fig. 6 a plan of one form of the apparatus. The elevating-motor A, which drives the shaft A', is supplied with fluid by a pump B, the control device of which is operated by an axially-movable rod B'. At its end, the rod B' carries on a vertical spindle a worm-wheel B<3>, which engages with two wormshafts b<2>, b<3>. The shaft b<2> is connected by gearing to the elevating band-wheel, and when rotated, causes the worm-wheel to roll on the shaft b<3>, as on a rack, and move the rod B<2> to start the motor in the desired direction. As the gun is moved, it raises or lowers the control rack C, which is pivoted at c to a bracket on the gun-cradle and gears with a pinion C<1> on the worm-shaft b<3>. The shaft is thus rotated, and effects the reverse movement of the control rod B<2>. A similar apparatus may be used for the training-gear, in which, however, the pump and motor move with the gun, and the rack c is a curved rack fixed to the pedestal. In a modification, the elevating or training hand-wheel rotates a nut upon a screwed end of the rod B<2>, while the rack C rotates the rod within the nut.

Abstract: 2075. Spiess, G. Jan. 25. Tripping and throw-out arrangements.-Relates to a device for throwing out the combing- roll of a sheet-feeding apparatus when the front edge of the top sheet reaches a predetermined point, and consists in the provision of a cam, controlled by the feeler for lifting the combing- roll.

The feeler carries an extension M which when the former is tilted by the leading edge of the sheet, engages a ratchetwheel N on the shaft A. The arm I is thereby rocked clear of the recess K which permits the spring G connected to an arm H on the cam, to turn the latter and thus raise the lever C controlling the combing-wheel D. A pivoted catch R on an arm Q fast on the shaft A resets the mechanism.
