Title: Improvements in Ordnance.
Inventor: SMITH WILLIAM DAVIS
IPC: F41A13/04
Filed: 1911-12-02
Granted: 1912-12-02
Abstract: 9759. Smith, W. D. Dec, 2, 1911. Ordnance breech mechanism; cleaning and cooling; smoke and gases, deflecting or disposing of.-Relates to gun-flushing devices of the type described in Specification 27,029/11, and consists (1) in providing the breech block with locking-means which are released by the motion of the fluid-injecting device, and (2) of means for returning the fluid injector to its normal position if its actuating-spring fails. Fig. 2 is a partial end view of one form of the invention. The breech-block carrier 4 carries a bracket 8 to which a latch 11, engaging a lip 12 on the breech-operating lever 7, is pivoted at 10. The latch is connected by a link 15 to a link 16, which slides in a guide lug 18, and carries a roller 17. This roller is raised by the wedge 21 on the firing-mechanism (shown more clearly in the modification in Fig. 4) when the fluid injector is advanced to flush the gun, and through the links 15, 16 raises the latch 11 against the action of a spring 13 into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and unlock the lever 7. The latch is prevented from engaging the lip 12 on the return of the injector, by a locking-dog 23, which is pivoted to it at 22, and when the latch is in the raised position falls into a notch 24 in the operating link 25 of the breech block. On opening the breech, the link 25 moves downwards to the right, and disengages the dog 23, thereby releasing the latch 11, which on the return of the lever 7 rides up the incline of the lip 12 and drops into locking position behind it. In a modification, shown in side elevation in Fig. 4, the dog 23 is replaced by a spring pin 32 traversing the link 15<a>. When the latch 11<a> is in the locking position, the nose of the pin 32 rests against the rear face of the link 25. When the latch is lifted by the injector, the pin rises above the top of the link 25 and rests thereon until the breech is opened, whereupon the link 25 moves out from beneath the pin and allows the latch to fall. To ensure that the fluid injector shall return to its normal rearward position when the pressure supply is cut off if its return-spring fails to act, a pin on the firing-mechanism, which moves with the fluid injector, engages a hole 28, Fig. 7, in the rear of the link 25. When the breech is opened, the movement of the link 25 causes the pin to be forced rearwards by an inclined surface 30 leading from the hole 28 to the usual incline 31 in the link 25.
