Title: An Improved Toy Gun.
Inventor: GILMORE DAVID
IPC: F41B7/00
Filed: 1910-11-15
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 26,514. Gilmore, D. Nov. 15. Guns and pistols.-A toy gun or pistol is fitted with a series of tubes C, C' to adapt it for firing projectiles of different sizes. The largest tube C may be fixed to the muzzle of the gun, but the smaller ones are pushed in and frictionally held by collars J. The ends of the tubes are tapered to grip the projectile and they are either slit, or formed of the crosssection shown in Fig. 3, to allow the passage of a tongue on the missile-ejector H, Figs. 1 and 2. The gun is cocked by partially withdrawing a tube D, which is slit throughout its length, and telescopes on the barrel A. This tube, on withdrawal compresses the propelling-spring G until the ejector H snaps behind the trigger L. The tube D is then pushed in again, and, on firing, a buffer spring E in the tube protects the muzzle B from the impact of the ejector. The Provisional Specification also states that a hammer actuated by the ejector is provided with a recess for holding a cap, which it explodes against an anvil.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Limber Connections for Artillery Vehicles.
IPC: B60D1/50
Filed: 1911-10-07
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 22,118. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Dec. 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Draught springs, arrangement of.-Relate to trail and limber couplings in which a coupling-member is pivoted to a spring-controlled draw-bar, and consists in providing controlling-springs which offer a greater resistance to mutual rocking of the draw-bar and the pivoted coupling-member than to motion of the draw-bar in the direction of traction. In the example shown, the draw-bar H, to which the limber hook N is pivoted at M, is guided in a flanged bush E, slidably mounted in a fixed bearing D in the limber. Two springs F, K under strong initial stress abut at one end against a nut J on the draw-bar; at the other end the spring K abuts against the bush E, and the spring F against the fixed bearing D. Preferably, rings are interposed between the springs and their abutments, the inner one G, the diameter of which is greater than that of the spring K, being adapted to bear against both the shoulder h<2> on the draw-bar H and the bush E, and the outer one L against both the ring G and the bearing D. In the normal position, Fig. 2, the outer ring L bears against the inner one G which abuts on the shoulder h<2>, leaving clearances between the rings and the bush E and bearing D, which permit the draw-bar to be readily rotated if necessary when limbering up on uneven ground. The limber hook N carries a conical limber pin n<2> fitting loosely into the limber eye r' on the shaft of the rear carriage, and is provided on either side of the pivot bolt M with rollers P, P' bearing against the bush E. A shock tending to produce axial motion only of the drawbar compresses the spring F only, as shown in Fig. 4; but a shock tending to produce a rocking motion in a vertical plane, as shown in Fig. 5, causes the limber hook N to turn on one of the rollers P or P' in contact with the bush E, drawing the bar H through the bush, and compressing both springs.
