Abstract: 15,662. Bj÷rgum, N. July 5. Machine guns. - Relates to cartridge-belt feed-mechanism for recoil-operated guns, of the kind in which a feed-pawl slide is reciprocated by a driving-arm actuated by the movements of the barrel. According to the invention, (1) the driving - arm 123, shown in side elevation in Fig. 1, and in plan in Fig. 2, is pivoted at 136 in an extension 122 of the feed-box 121, and is retained in position by an upwardly-extending projection 139 which bears upon the underside of the cover-plate 140. A pin 138 projects downwards from the driving-arm 123 and engages in a guide-groove 146 of special shape in a guideblock, shown detached in Fig. 10 and in transverse section in Fig. 4; this guide - block is seated upon the barrel b and locked thereto by projections 144. Shoulders 147 on the guideblock abut against projections in the breech casing and limit the rearward movement of the barrel ; when the guide-block is removed, the barrel may be withdrawn rearwards from the casing. The pin 138 serves also as a stop to determine the loading position of the next cartridge 143 in the feed-belt, as shown in Fig. 2. (2) The feed-pawls 126 are pivotally mounted on the slide 120, reciprocated by the driving-arm 123, by being hooked over a rib 142, Fig. 4, on the slide, and are retained thereon by a spring 127.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Adding and Listing Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1912-01-01
Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 1. Boult, A. J., [Burroughs Adding Machine Co.]. Jan. 1. Adding-apparatus with operating - means.- Adding &c. machines having two counters, cooperating with a single set of actuating-members, are arranged so that when the machine is split between selected denominations, and one section of the machine and the corresponding section of one counter are employed to register and accumulate items while the other section merely prints identifying-numbers which do not require to be totalled, the whole of the other counter can be employed to accumulate the separate or partial totals transferred in succession from the former counter. The machine when split can also be utilized as two independent machines in the usual way. The invention is described in connexion with a Burroughs adding-machine, and comprises in the main the chief features of the two-counter machine and operation-selecting mechanism set forth in Specification 22,464/09 in combination with those of the variable-split machine described in Specification 20,045/09, together with means for locking the actuating-members associated with the section of the machine employed to register the identifying-numbers. Varying functions of machine.-The machine can be split at any one of three points by setting a pointer 66, Fig. 1, which rotates a pinion 61 and shaft having three staggered arms, through a toothed sector 62, as described in the latter Specification; one of the arms being adapted for each position of the pointer to disengage a coupler-piece 71, Fig. 9, from the adjacent coupler-bar 70 and thus to prevent the normal successive tripping of the hammer latches of the machine which results in the automatic printing of zeros. The pointer also positions by means of the pinion 61 a sliding plate 50 in one of three positions presenting respectively a narrow notch 50a, an unnotched portion, and a wide notch 50<b> in the path of a sliding piece 45. When a partial or a separate total is to be transferred from one section of one counter to the other counter, the left section for example being employed to list identifying-numbers only and the operation-selecting means 10 being set as described in Specification 22,464/09, the total transfer key 265T is depressed, whereupon the lever 41 moves the spring-controlled sliding- piece 45. When the pointer is in the first and third positions, the sliding-piece passes respectively through the narrow and wide notches 50<a>, 50<b> therein, its farther end passing over and preventing the elevation of either three or five of the levers 611 and the consequent descent of the left section of the racks 610, and actuation of the corresponding pinions 916. When in the second position, the pointer merely effects the splitting of the machine without positioning the slidirg-piece 45, which is prevented from moving by the unnotched portion of the sliding plate 50. Specification 2119/09 is referred to.

Title: Method of Automatically Removing Dust and Fibres from Carding Cylinders.
Inventor: ROUGE JOSEPH AUGUSTE
IPC: D01G15/80
Filed: 1912-05-24
Granted: 1912-12-19
Abstract: 12,368. Rouge, J. A. May 26, 1911, [Convention date]. Carding-engines.-In apparatus for removing dust and fibres from carding-cylinders in which a blast of air is delivered from behind on to the teeth and the air charged with dust and fibres is drawn off by suction, a device is employed to deliver the air blast at a prescribed pressure. A receptacle 1, Fig. 1, connected through a pipe 2 to a supply of compressed air, is arranged across the width of the carding- cylinder. The receptacle is formed of two plates 5, 6 held together by bolts 9, a series of outlets 8 being formed by serrations in the front edge of the plate 5. These outlets are normally closed by a pad 12 carried by spring arms 13. At the end of the receptacle is a cylinder 15, Fig. 2, having a piston 16 connected to a rod 14 provided with inclines 19 adapted to engage the springs 13. When the pressure rises to the prescribed amount, the piston 16 is moved in the cylinder, and the springs 13 are forced outwards by the inclines 19 to move the pad 12 away from the outlets 8. A disk 22 is moved to indicate when the device is in operation, or a bell may be rung by a contact established when the piston-rod 18 moves. The dust &c. is removed through the funnel 4.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Apparatus for Actuating Rods for Boring Artesian Wells.
Inventor: WHATLEY ALFRED
IPC: E21B1/02
Filed: 1912-07-08
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 15,908. Whatley, A., Whatley, A. H., and Whatley, W. H. July 8. Bore-hole apparatus.-In apparatus for boring artesian wells, a piston carrying the tool reciprocates in a cylinder open to the atmosphere at its upper end, and a combined inlet and exhaust valve below the piston is adapted to be operated by the piston during each stroke to open or close the inlet and exhaust. The cylinder 1, which may have a loose cover, is supported from a derrick or crane by gear connected to a yoke 2. With the parts in the position shown, pressure fluid flows from a chamber 11 through an annular passage or ports 13 and ports 14 in the bellshaped valve 8 to raise the piston 3. During the upward stroke, an arm 28 of a bracket 29, positioned on the pistonrod 4 by means such as a clip 32, contacts, preferably through a spring 42, with an adjustable stop 41 on a rod 27 carried by a bifurcated lever 22, to which are pivoted rods 16 secured to the valve 8 by nuts 17. The valve 8 is thus raised to close the inlet and open the cylinder to the exhaust chamber 9, and the piston falls by gravity. During the downward stroke, a spring 15, connected to the piston-rod or the valve, becomes compressed and moves the valve 8 downwards to close the exhaust and open the inlet, and so to cushion the piston. By means of an adjustable spring 24 connected to the lever 22, the time at which this movement of the valve occurs may be varied so that increased cushioning may be obtained as the hole becomes deeper and the load on the piston increases. During the upward stroke, a two-armed lever 36, pivoted to the bracket 29 and to a link 38, is oscillated, and, through a pawl 37 engaging a ratchet disk 30 on the piston-rod, rotates the tool ; a spring-pressed detent 40 prevents rotation in the opposite direction. By attaching a monkey to the piston-rod, the apparatus may be utilized for driving tubes into the bore-hole.

Two balls may be used in separate bores, or, as shown in Fig. 3, the pin 7 may be arranged to act on the ball through a transverse sliding pin 12, the end 6 of the bore 1 being reduced to check the ball. The pin may be formed as shown in Fig. 9, so as to act on the ball by being pulled up.
