Title: Improvements in Breech Block Mechanism for Guns having Recoiling Barrels.
IPC: F41A5/32
Filed: 1910-11-22
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 27,167. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. Feb. 16, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Relates to semiautomatic wedge breech - mechanism in which the breech is a u t omatically opened through the medium of a cranked lever, by the engagement, during run-out, of a spring-operated pin on the cradle with a grooved block on the breech-operating spindle, the pin being released during recoil by the removal of a supporting-surface on the grooved block. According to the invention, the spring-operated pin, after being unlocked during recoil by a tappet on the grooved block, enters the groove during run-out, unlocks the cranked lever, moves it to open the breech, and is then returned to its housed position in the cradle by an incline at the end of the groove. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan of the breech end of the gun. The breech-operating hand-lever e is attached to the upper end of a shaft c, and carries the block-operating lever f. Attached to the lower end of the shaft c is a block r having a groove u on its lower surface. Mounted on the gun - cradle z, as shown in Fig. 8, is a pin 4, which is normally held against the action of a spring within its casing 1 by a stop 9, but is liberated during the recoil by the engagement of a projection s on the block r with a pivoted pawl 12 on the casing 1, which operates to remove the stop 9. As the gun runs out, a roller 2 on the pin 4 engages with the groove u, and, after depressing a lever x to unlock the catch n of the hand-lever e through a rod y and lever q, acts upon the curved part of the groove u to move the block r and thereby open the breech. The depth of the groove u diminishes towards its end, so that the pin 4 is returned to its normal position.

Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 12,500. Marsh, R. G. May 25. Gas meters. In a wet gas meter, to compensate for changes in gas-pressure, the drum rises and falls in the sealing-liquid so as to vary the capacity of the measuring-chambers inversely as the pressure. In the form shown, the drum b is supported by a frame t rising and falling between guides u. The bulk of the weight is supported by a float x in the sealing- liquid, and the remainder by a float y on mercury. The mercury pot communicates by tubes 1, 2 with a pressure gauge 4 and a displacement chamber 5 open to the atmosphere and of varying cross-section such that the capacity of the measuring-chambers is maintained inversely proportional to the gas pressure. The volume of mercury expelled as the drum descends must be equal to the volume of the additional parts immersed in the sealing- liquid, to keep the level constant. The spout q and the worm-wheel driving the indicating- mechanism from the worm e are carried by the frame t and rise and fall with the drum. The spout q has a drain pipe r, sealed in mercury. The floats x, y may have vent pipes extending above the sealing-liquid to prevent the floats from collapsing under high pressures.
