Patent GB-191025838-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Guns with Recoiling Barrels.
IPC: F41A25/10
Filed: 1910-11-07
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 25,838. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. Nov. 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Recoil apparatus.-Relates to return springs of the kind so arranged that they also act as buffers to absorb shocks at the end of run-out. According to the invention, the run-out spring h is carried in a cylindrical casing m, connected with the barrel a and guided in the cradle b, and is wound over a rod d fixed to the cradle, the parts being so arranged that they can be easily removed by bayonet-joints without disturbing the adjustment of the spring. The spring, during recoil, is compressed between a rearwardly sliding abutment g and an abutment k engaging against a shoulder on a nut l screwed on the rod d connected with the cradle. At the end of the return movement, the abutment g is held by a collar f on the rod d, but the cylinder continues to move forward, thereby compressing the spring by the sliding of the abutment k on the rod d. The nut l serves to adjust the initial tension of the run-out spring, and the bayonet-joints q on the cylinder m and e on the rod d are disconnected simultaneously from the lug r on the gun and the lug c on the cradle, respectively, by rotation of the cylinder m.

Abstract: 28,931. BÚnard, C. Dec. 17, 1909, [Convention date]. Steering.-Steering-controls of known kinds for aerial machines are modified so that additional steering and balancing members may be operated without affecting the position of the rest. This is effected by passing some of the operating-cords through rings placed in suitable positions. Fig. 1 shows one form in which cords e', e<2> are operated by a rocking movement of the lever a about the axis b. The cords e<1>, c<2> are passed through the rings d<o> arranged in line with the axis d, which can be rotated to operate an additional member through wires g', g<2>. This rotating has no effect on the member controlled by the cords e', e<2>. Fig. 4 shows another form in which the bar a<1> slides in a guide b<1> to alter the lengths of the cords e<1>, e<2>. By rotation of the system about the axis d, cords g<1>, g<2>, connected at opposite ends of the guide and passing through a ring, are operated. Or. a lever may be secured to the spindle d. Further, a cross-bar may be employed at rightangles to the guide b<1>, and the cords from this may be passed through the ring d<o> so that two ordinary members may be controlled. Fig. 5 shows an apparatus arranged ordinarily to control two members, which are operated from the ring a fixed to a Cardan joint. The four wires e', e<2>, E<1>, E<2> from the ring are passed through the ring d<o>, and the cross-bar f carries the wires g<1>, g<2> to the additional member. In place of the levers to which the cords are connected, half-pulleys or hemispheres may be employed. Such a form is shown in Fig. 11. The pivot d is horizontal and carries a stirrup ring provided with an aperture d<o>. The wires E<1>, E<2> are carried on a half pulley B<o>. The wires (c<1>, c<2> are supported on a hemisphere b<0>.

Title: Improvements in Frictionally Fixed Pivot Joints, especially suitable for Wind Screens of Motor Cars.
Inventor: HARRISON CHARLES EDWARD
IPC: B60J1/04
Filed: 1911-01-05
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 276. Harrison, C. E. Jan. 5. Pivot adjustments for the wind - screens of motor-vehicles &c. One member of the joint carries a wedge-shaped block or projection engaging a correspondingly-shaped slot in the other member of the joint, the wedge-shaped parts being pulled or pushed together by a hand - operated device, such as a screw arranged eccentrically to the axis of the joint. In one form of the joint, the block consists of a bevel-sided nut f, Fig. 3, which is pulled into contact with the sides of the slot c by an operating-screw e. The locking of the joint is assisted by the friction between the contacting faces of the joint members, and also by the slight binding of the pivot pin g due to the straining of the parts of the joint. In another form of the joint the projection consists of a rigid ring i, Fig. 9, of wedge-shaped section engaging a guide-way j, Fig. 10, formed between lugs j<2>, j<3> on the joint member d. To permit the parts of the joint to be assembled, a segment i<3> of the ring i is cut away or made removable and fixed by screws o. A washer n between the end of the actuating-screw m and the ring i prevents damage of the ring, and also provides additional locking-friction between itself and the adjacent faces of the joint members.

Abstract: 890. Dover, H. W. Jan. 12. Pivot adjustments. - In joints for windscreens of motor-cars and motor-cycles, of the kind in which a flexible brake-band is contracted about a trunnion on one member of the screen, the band is constructed as a chain of flat links, and is arranged in a casing surrounding the trunnion so as to be entirely concealed. The trunnion D, fixed to one member of the screen, is provided with a bearing-collar L, and rotates in a cap E fixed to the other member of the screen by an arm F or other means. The brakeband G consists of a chain of links g pinned together by screws g<1> and curved to fit the trunnion D. One end of the band is secured to the end e of the cap, and the other end is connected to a screw H passing through a tangential boss J on the cap and provided with an actuating-nut K. The screw H is provided with a squared or flattened portion h, and the passage through the boss J is correspondingly shaped so as to prevent twisting of the screw. The movement of the nut K is limited by a pair of lock-nuts M, N, the outer one of which is combined with a cap n to conceal the end of the screw H. According to the Provisional Specification, instead of the collar L the trunnion may be provided with an extension journaled in a bearing provided in the cap.

Abstract: 12,471. Kaspar, F. May 25. Damping - machines.- In machines for affixing postage and like stamps, a suction device C descends with the handoperated plunger B, separates a stamp from a pile F, and rotates through a half - revolution to carry it to an envelope &c. situated at the base of the apparatus, the face of the envelope being damped by a pad 39 carried by a lever 45 rocked by the plunger. The pad 39 is formed by the end of a wick 37 dipping into a reservoir 36 carried by the lever 45 and is held by a lever 41 pressed downwards by a spring 43. A plate 38 is adjustably pressed upon the wick to regulate the flow of water. A cam slot 50, 51 in the plunger B engages a pin 49 on the lever 45 to rock this, and curves 54, 55 in a spring 53 carried by the plunger engage the pin to depress and raise the lever 45 and the associated damping-devices at the beginning of the down and up strokes of the plunger respectively, so that, when the plunger is raised, the pad 39 swings back above the affixed stamp without touching it. The pivot 47 of the lever 45 works in a slot 48 in the casing to permit the rising and falling movement of the lever. The base H, Fig 11, of the apparatus may contain the water and form a rest for envelopes G during the affixing-operation, the end 39 of the wick 37 being mounted in a lever 41 operated as described above, except that its rising and falling movements are obtained by sliding the casing 2 of the apparatus upon columns 62 mounted upon the reservoir H, the upward movement being caused by springs within the columns and limited by the head of a screw 65.
