Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 19,837. Cowley, J. T. Aug. 31, 1908, [Convention date]. Loading-appliances.-Consists in a pneumatic ammunition hoist having a sending-terminal 1, Fig. 1, at the magazines; an air-reservoir 14 of just sufficient capacity to despatch a projectile 13, and two powder charges 12; an air-inlet valve which automatically closes when the pressure in the air reservoir is exhausted; a delivery terminal 8 at the turret, connected with the magazines by a dispatch tube 2 and comprising a projectilereceiver 9, a powder-receiver 10, and means for separating the projectile and powder; and safety-devices (1) for opening the gate at the sending-terminal only when the delivery terminal is completely closed and empty, and (2) for locking the gate at the sending-terminal when the air-inlet valva is opened. Figs. 2 and 3 show the sending-terminal 1 provided with a sliding gate 16, which is held in the open position by a spring 34, when the delivery terminal is closed. After the introduction of the projectile 13, which is fitted with a piston cap 126, and the charges 12, the gate 16 is closed by pedals 58, and locked in the closed position by latches 18, after which the air is admitted through a pipe 14<a> to a cylinder 38 containing the air-inlet valve, by moving a hand lever 45, which allows pressure fluid from a pipe 43, connected with the pipe 14<a>, to pass through a passage 42 and move the air-inlet valve to the open position, such movement serving to lock the gate 16 through the medium of a crank 51, a connecting-rod 52, and a locking-bolt 53. At the delivery terminal, Figs. 7, 9, and 11, the powder charges pass on to the receiver 10 while the projectile is stopped and cushioned by a rod 71 connected to a dashpot 75, and the cap 126 is removed by a projection 128 on a lever 62 depressed by the weight of the projectile. The powder-receiver, on being rotated by handles 87, 88, Fig. 7, after a catch 77 has been released by the motion of the rod 71, rotates a shaft 76<a> and moves a pivoted cam 99, which allows the corresponding door of the projectile-receiver to be swung down, as shown in Fig. 11, to receive the projectile, which is automatically rolled off by the lever 62, released by a projection 98 on the door 92. The delivery terminal being situated between two guns, the receiver 10 may be swung to either side, and the corresponding door of the receiver 9 swung down. The doors 91, 92, and the receiver 10, when opened, operate valves 118, 119, 120 respectively so as to keep closed a pipe 29 which communicates with a valve 26, Fig. 3, at the sending-terminal. The valve 26 is moved to release the latches 18, which lock the gate 16, by air pressure admitted through a pipe 28, when the complete closing of the delivery terminal has opened the valves 118, 119, 120, and therefore the pipe 29. The receiver 10 is prevented by a spring-controlled pin 200 from being moved into the closed position except when empty.
