Title: Improvements in Gyroscopic Control.
Inventor: BARR ARCHIBALD
IPC: G01C21/18
Filed: 1910-09-01
Granted: 1911-09-01
Abstract: 20,373. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. Sept. 1. Gyroscopic apparatus.-The direction in altitude or azimuth of a range-finder, telescope, search-light, platform, gun, or other such instrument mounted upon a support on board ship is maintained by mechanism actuated by electrical means controlled in accordance with the movements of the support relative to the axis of a gyroscope mounted upon the support. Means may also be provided for imparting a uniform movement in azimuth. The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 for maintaining the altitude of a range-finder 4 comprises a gyroscope 6, the axle of which is provided with a prolongation 11 placed between contact-springs 12, 13 for controlling a following-mechanism such as described in Specification 15,480/10, [Class 97 (i), Optical systems &c.]. When the range - finder support moves up or down with respect to the axle 11, an electric contact is made and the following-mechanism, shown on the right, is actuated to drive a vertical shaft 18 in the appropriate direction for rotating the rangefinder on the supporting-frame by the bevelwheels 16, 17 so as to maintain its direction, and for rotating the bevel-wheel 14 carrying the contact-springs 12, 13 so as to move the contacting spring away from the axle 11, the gearing employed being arranged to turn the rangefinder and the bevel 14 through equal angles. A similar construction for maintaining direction in azimuth has vertical contact-springs mounted directly on the instrument support, which is rotated through worm gearing by the following- mechanism electrically controlled by the gyroscope. A uniform movement in azimuth is produced by causing the gyroscope to precess by means described in Specification 17,291/10. In apparatus for regulating the rate of response of the following-mechanism to the stoppage of one of the flies 27, 28, the flies are arranged to be free on their shafts and to be connected frictionally with fly-wheels which are rigidly fixed to their respective shafts and are forced by adjustable spring pressure against the flies.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Double Seaming the Bottoms and Tops of Tin Boxes, Cans, Canisters and the like.
Inventor: STOKER ALFRED WASHINGTON
IPC: B21D51/32
Filed: 1910-09-06
Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 20,806. Stoker, A. W. Sept. 6. Seaming.-In apparatus for double seaming the bottoms and tops of tin boxes &c. simultaneously, more particularly of the type described in Specification 7929/02, the chuck device and seaming-rollers are put out of gear automatically at the termination of the operation, and are again put into gear by the operator, thus allowing time for removing the cans. Bv means of a foot-lever f<3> and linkage, a shaft f' is moved longitudinally, carrying with it a chuck e' to allow of a tin being inserted. The chucks e, e<1> are rotated by gearing from a sleeve i, which can be clutched to a shaft j by means of a clutch element k operated by a lever i<5>, which is moved by a cam on the shaft n. The shaft n is brought into operation by moving a hand-lever q, Figs. 1 and 4, carrying a pawl engaging a projection q<3> on a cam p forming part of a clutch element o<1> sliding on the shaft n. The slight rotation of the cam p by the pawl frees an inclined surface of the cam from a fixed roller p', and the cam and clutch element o<1> move under spring action into engagement with a clutch element o attached to a worm-wheel m<1> driven by a worm m on the shaft j. At the end of the operation, the inclined surface of the cam p unclutches the sleeve i, and its rotation is stopped by a friction disk l engaging a corresponding fixed element l<1>. Each pair of seaming-rollers r, r<1>, Fig. 6, are pivoted on a plate s, which is rocked by levers t, t' operated by cams on the shaft n. A guide roller arranged between the seaming-rolls works on a suitably-shaped track r<2>, the guide-roller being mounted so as to slide and carry with it a slide s<2> on which the plates s are mounted. The feed of the rollers r, r<1> is obtained from double cams v on the shaft n, which cams may be formed in a series of steps each of which corresponds to a single rotation of the chucks.

Abstract: 26,057. Holz, C. Nov. 9. Railways for recreation.-In a gravity railway of the type in which a vehicle is suspended from a carriage running on an overhead rail mounted clear of the structure, the rail-carrying structure provides a complex and varied series of bends and curves around a number of axes, all the curves being in the same sense with relation to the travel of the vehicle. The vehicle is hung from a trolly running on a rail mounted below projecting supports, the arrangement being such that the vehicle is free to swing outwardly around the curves clear of the structure. Either a single rail J of I-section Fig. 5, of known type is used, or, a rail consisting of two parallel box-like members J<2>, Fig. 6, surrounding the trolly-wheels m<6> on all sides and providing a continuous gap through which the vehicle suspension means passes. In the form shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the flanged trolly wheels N run on the lower flange of the rail. The vehicle L, Fig. 4, is suspended from a bar Q having a buffer spring. For raising the cars to the top of the track, the hoisting- means engages a hook p on a draw-bar P, which has turning and sliding connexion with a spindle 0 on the trolly, a buffer spring p<1>, Fig. 4, being interposed to prevent concussion in starting the lifting movement. A pawl R prevents the car from running backwards.

[Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Gases, treating with electric discharge.-Relates to the apparatus described in Specification 21,721/10, for effecting endothermic reactions in gases, in which gases are passed through tubes opening into a common chamber and each enclosing a pair of electrodes between which arcs are struck, and all the electrodes being connected in series. According to the present invention, the gases are drawn through the apparatus by a suction-pump, and the apparatus may be arranged to work under diminished pressure, for example, by enclosing the tubes in a casing and allowing the gases to enter through a throttle-valve. Or the gases may be forced through the apparatus by connecting a compressor to the casing enclosing the ends of the tubes. The gases are preheated by passage through a tube 7, Fig. 4, which surrounds the tube T enclosing the electrodes; or the gases may be cooled by the external device 8, Fig. 5, or by the refrigerator 9, Fig. 6, within the tube. Further, the electrodes 11 are made with renewable heads 10, Fig. 7. The electrodes are provided with an external cooling-jacket, or may consist of a bent tube through which water flows.
