Title: An Improved Electro-magnetic Power Hammer, Drop Stamp, or Press.
Inventor: LARGE THOMAS HENRY
Filed: 1905-12-08
Granted: 1906-04-19
Abstract: 25,550. Large, T. H. Dec. 8. Hammers, power. - In an electro - magnetic hammer, the piston c', Fig. 1, is raised and, if necessary, cushioned in falling by means of a number of solenoids h, the supply of current to which is regulated by switch mechanism at some distance from the hammer. The tup c<2> is magnetically insulated from the piston, which is guided by antifriction rollers f<1> and provided with a cushioning-spring at the top end. The leads from the solenoids h are brought to contact segments on the regulating-switch j, Fig. 4, of the controlling- mechanism. Two contact-pieces are carried on a hand-operated screw and by means of this switch the number of solenoids that are energized can be adjusted and the height to which the hammer is lifted is thus varied. A switch n operated through gearing by a hand-wheel l has a number of contactplungers o, which, together with a foot-operated switch k, control the motion of the hammer. As the hand-wheel is turned, a resistance r<1> is put in the solenoid circuit, and this resistance is then cut out and the hammer raised. The solenoid circuit is then cut out and the hammer drops and may be cushioned by energizing some of the coils by means of the foot-operated switch k, which works in connexion with the plungers o and a resistance r<2>.

Title: Improvements in Means for Regulating the Depth of Submarine Submergible or other Vessels.
Inventor: SPEAR LAWRENCE YORK
Filed: 1906-06-23
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 14,405. Spear, L. Y., and Bailey, T. S. June 26, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Submarine vessels.-In apparatus for the automatic regulation of the depth of submergence of a submarine vessel, the regulator, being acted on by the pressure of the outside water, at any predetermined depth admits air under pressure to the ballast tanks, thus expelling the.water and raising the vessel. The compressed-air admission valve, attached to a diaphragm, is jointly controlled by the pressure in the apparatus and by a second diaphragm subjected to the varying pressures of the outside water. The regulator shown in sectional elevation in Fig. 1 comprises a casing a closed by caps b, c, between which and the casing a are diaphragms d, e. Air under pressure is admitted to the chamber o by the pipe t, either from the pump 6, Fig. 2, or the storage tank 4, until the pressure gauge v indicates the pressure equivalent to the depth of greatest submergence. By closing the sea valve z and opening the valve 2, air under pressure is admitted to the chamber x until the pressure as shown by the gauge 3 equals the pressure indicated by the valve v ; the valve q should be then adjusted so that it is just off its seat. When the valve z is opened and the valve 2 closed, the regulator is ready for use. The air under pressure in the chamber o, pressing against the diaphragms d, e, causes the valves f, q to be held tight against their seats. When the boat reaches a depth such that the pressure acting on the diaphragm e in the chamber x exceeds that in the chamber o, the diaphragm e is forced inwards, opening the valve q, and the air then escapes. The reduced pressure then acting on the diaphragm d is insufficient to hold the valve f against the pressure on the pipe h ; the air under pressure is thus able to pass from the pipe h to the ballast tank 5, displacing the water in the tank, and forcing it through a valve in the bottom ; the boat then rises to the surface. Very small vent holes n drilled in the cap b allow any leakage of air past the valve f to escape.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Cargo Vessels.
Inventor: DOXFORD WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-02-12
Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 3531. Doxford, W. Feb. 12. Grain-carrying vessels.-In vessels for carrying an easily shifting cargo in bulk, inner upright walls F are fitted some distance from the hull, and so arranged that when the vessel is transversely inclined within the usual range of inclinations of the vessel at sea, the weight of the cargo and the buoyancy create a restoring couple in all conditions of loading. The spaces between the cargo hold and the outer shell may be used for water ballast, or be left empty. In some cases, the bottom is reduced in depth as much as loading regulations will permit. The diagram, Fig. 1, shows the centres of gravity C<2>, H<2> of the cargo of an ordinary vessel, and a vessel constructed in accordance with the invention, respectively, when the vessels are inclined. The point E' is the centre of buoyancy when inclined. The cargo acting through H<2> produces a restoring couple, while the cargo acting through C<2> produces an upsetting couple.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Automobile Torpedoes.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
Filed: 1907-04-11
Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 8446. Schneider, E. April 11. Torpedoes.-The usual frangible nose and percussion point are replaced by an ogival head F which at the moment of impact collapses accordianfashion, its folds actuating the percussion mechanism only when the charge is close to the object struck. The head F is secured to the part A by oblique screws, and, when collapsed, its folds carry rearward a spring- pressed hoop Q, actuating the pivoted lever M' of the sear M. When the striker K is in the cocked position, the sear M and the lever M' are locked by a heel O<1> on a locking- bolt O, which is held in the safety position by a rod P<1> secured to an inwardly-curved india-rubber cap S. Upon the collapse of the head F, the increase of pressure causes the cap S to protrude externally, unlocking the bolt O and releasing the sear M and the striker K, the return of the bolt to its safety position being prevented by a pivoted pawl. By removing the plug H and employing a dummy detonator, the percussion mechanism can be tested before arranging the war-head in place. For use on a submarine vessel, the part F is strengthened against the excernal pressure by circular ribs, and, in some cases, the front buoyancy chamber is filled with water which is in communication with the external water by means of small holes. If the torpedo is to be carried in an external appliance on the submarine vessel, the cap S is dispensed with, the withdrawal of the locking- bolt O being effected by a rod operated from the interior of the submarine. The detonator charge B of dry gun-cotton is arranged towards the rear of the bursting charge.
