Title: Improvements in or relating to Breech Mechanism of Guns.
IPC: F41A3/10
Filed: 1911-08-01
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 17,531. Soc. Schneider et Cie. Dec. 3, 1910, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Relates to screw-breech mechanism of the kind in which the breech is opened by first unscrewing the breechblock and then moving it aside in transverse guides in the gun-breech. The invention consists in an arrangement wherein a continuouslythreaded cylindrical breech-screw is supported by threads in a transversely-sliding carrier, and is rotated by a sprocket-chain mechanism, the rotation of the breech-screw first effecting the unscrewing and then, without interruption, the lateral motion. The threads in the carrier and screw-box are so arranged that, for the greater part of the opening and closing movements, the breech-screw rotates without contact with the threads in the screw-box. Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical section showing the breech-block unscrewed but not moved aside. Fig. 5 is an horizontal section showing the breech fully open. The continuously-threaded breech-block a is supported by the threads in a carrier b, which is transversely-movable upon friction rollers p, in guides in the gun-breech. An externallytoothed ring e, rotatably mounted in the carrier b, has projections c<2> which engage slidably with keyways a<1> in the breech-block, and teeth e' which are engaged by a sprocket chain f driven by hand or power actuated sprocket-wheels g, h mounted in the gun breech. One of the teeth e<1> is cut away, as shown at e<3>, but normally its height is made up by a radially-movable pin t, which bears at its inner end upon the bottom of a keyway a<1>. When the breech-block is rotated and unscrewed, by the rotation of the sprocket wheels, the teeth e<1> pass over a pawl q, pivoted to the gun-breech at r, and depress it against the action of a spring s, until, at the moment when the unscrewing is complete, a depression a<2> in the keyway a<1> enables the pawl q to push the pin t inwards. The next tooth e<4> then engages with the pawl and starts the transverse motion of the carrier b and breech-screw a, which motion is continued by the engagement of the teeth c' with teeth u in the lower transverse guide. A stop-tooth v<1> carried by an " hydraulic spring buffer " v arrests the motion when the breech is fully open. The return motion of the carrier b is buffered by a stop b<2>.

Title: Machines for Bottling Liquids.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER ADOLPH
IPC: B67C3/06
Filed: 1911-10-31
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 24,056. Schneider, A. Oct. 31. Bottling.-In a bottling-machine having a rotary tank and rotating bottle-support, the filling heads and tubes are lowered to engage the bottles, instead of mounting the bottles on platforms adapted to raise them successively into filling position. Connected with the tank 23, Fig. 1, are a number of cylinders 48, Figs. 1, 8, and 10, the upper ends of which are in constant communication by pipes 97 with the upper part of the tank. Within each cylinder are two pistons 89, 62, Fig. 8, carrying the filling-heads 49 and filling-tubes 50 respectively. The pistons are normally held in raised position by pressure, superior to the tank pressure, supplied from an independent source and admitted to the lower ends of the cylinders through pipes 27, the stem 22 of the machine, and pipes 98, under the control of plug cocks 100. During the rotation of the machine, the cocks are operated by two fixed tappets, one of which 113 is shown in Fig. 1, first, to vent the higher pressure and allow the filling-devices to descend, under the tank pressure, to engage the bottle to be filled, and secondly, to readmit the higher pressure on the completion of the filling, to raise the filling-devices and permit the bottle to be removed. The removal of the filled bottles is effected automatically by an arm 135. Liquid is supplied through a pipe 33 to the lower part of the tank, and from the tank by pipes 54 to annular chambers 55, Figs. 8 and 10, at the bottoms of the cylinders. Ports 58 in the upper part of the filling-tubes register with the chambers 55 when the filling-tubes are in lowered position, and admit the liquid to the bottles through other ports 59 at the lower ends of the tubes. In raised position, the ports 58 are sealed by a thimble 67 mounted in a block 65, and, to prevent access of pressure into the filling - tubes on the rising of the pistons, a spring is employed to hold the block 65 in lowered position until the ports 58 are housed within the thimble. To establish pressure in the bottle before the liquid is admitted, gas at tank pressure from the top of the cylinder is admitted to the filling-head through one of the tubular piston-rods 83 of the piston 89, and a port 80 controlled by a float valve 81, and passes into the bottle as soon as the filling- tube moves below the sealing-washer 74, that is, immediately after the downward movement of the filling-head has been arrested by the bottle. The tank is divided into separate liquid and gas chambers 44, 45, Fig. 15, which are closed by tight covers, adjustable independently of each other. A pressure-equalizer is provided comprising a cylinder 117 communicating with both chambers, and containing a piston 122 with ports, as shown. The cylinder has a vent nipple 127 and also a connexion at 125 with a suitable source of pressure supply.

Abstract: 15,228. Bates, A., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. June 29. [Cognate Application, 19,450/12.] Boot - sole sewing and assembling machines; trimming; feed by awl.-A machine for lasting veldtschoen or similar shoes or for submitting the uppers of such shoes to stress prior to removal from their lasts and simultaneously stitching the out-turned flange of the shoes to the soles is provided with a chopping- knife which automatically trims the edges of the uppers as the stitches are inserted. In the combined lasting and sewing machine described in Specification 4058/12 a trimming-knife X, Fig. 1, is clamped by a bolt C<3> and nut C' to the awl-carrying segment C*. The cutting takes place at a point in advance of the position at which the stitching occurs. To prevent the upper from being damaged by the action of the knife should the thread break, means are provided for stopping the feed of the work if the thread becomes slack or breaks. For this purpose, the awl C that feeds the work has its carrier pivoted on a bracket H<1> projecting from a slide H moving in guides in the frame A. A second slide L adjustably connected to the feed-lever reciprocates at the side of the slide H and is provided with a recessed portion in which a projection N<1> on a clutch lever N pivoted on the slide H normally engages, the lever being held in the engaged position by a light spring O. The sewing- thread is arranged to pass over a roll P<2> on a spring-held rocking lever P<@>, the other arm of which is formed by a rod P<5>. If the thread becomes slack or breaks, the rocking lever P<1> is lifted by its spring, and the arm P<5> strikes a sharp blow on the end of the lever, forcing the projection N' out of its recess and thus stopping the reciprocation of the feed-slide H. The tensions of the springs O, P<3> are so adjusted that light blows of the arm P<5> on the lever N occurring during the normal working of the machine do not move the lever. To bring the awl into correct position for a full feed-stroke to be given on re-starting the machine, a projection N<2> on the lever N is arranged so that it engages the end of the slide L in all positions of the lever N. The slide H is thus brought into the beginning of its feed-stroke, even though the projection N' is clear of its recess in the slide L.
