Abstract: 23,733. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. March 2, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to inertiaactuated safety devices. Figs. 1 and 4 are side elevations showing the position of the parts prior to the recoil of the gun, and Fig. 6 shows the same after the recoil but prior to the opening of the breech. The breech-actuating lever M is normally locked, when the breech is closed, by co-acting projections m<1>, q<2> upon the boss of the lever M, and a locking-member Q respectively. The latter is pivoted upon the same axis N as a weighted arm P and is connected to the arm by a pin-and-slot connexion p<1>, q<1>. The arm P is normally locked by a tooth o' upon a spring O, and the locking-piece Q is held in engagement with the shoulder m<1> by its weighted arm q<3>. When the gun recoils, the arm P is rocked by its own inertia in the direction of the arrow y, Fig. 1, until the end of the slot p' strikes the pin q<1>. The locking- piece Q then rotates with the arm P and becomes disengaged from the shoulder m<1>, as shown in Fig. 6. The lever M, being thus unlocked, is rotated to open the breech ; during this operation, the arm P is returned to its initial position by a cam m<2> on the lever M acting upon the toe p<3> of the arm P, and is again held by the spring O. The centre of gravity of the arm P is so far to the right of and above the axis N that, at all elevations of the gun, the arm exerts a turning-moment in the direction of the arrow y.

Title: Improvements in Steam Turbines.
Inventor: PAWLIKOWSKI RUDOLF
Filed: 1906-12-01
Granted: 1907-11-30
Abstract: 27,409. Pawlikowski, R. Dec. 1. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Elastic-fluid turbines.- The loss of steam through the clearance spaces of a steam turbine is prevented by causing the steam to impinge upon guide and moving vanes which are not parallel, so that the steam passes along cylindrical surfaces concentric with the drum. In one form, this is accomplished by arranging straight vanes obliquely to the radii ; in another form, the vanes l, r are bent longitudinally so as to form involutes to the drum n as shown in Fig. 3. A further method, shown in Figs. 7 and 8, applied to involute vanes l, r having the portion at u and t bent backward, consists in twisting the vanes so that their axes lie obliquely to the generatrix of the cylinder. The invention may be applied to either the guide or moving vanes, or to both.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Clutch and like Gear
Inventor: THEYSKENS ALPHONSE
Filed: 1906-12-20
Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 29,094. Theyskens, A. Dec. 20. Brakes.-Relates to ball ratchet clutches which may be so modified as to allow lost motion between the parts before the drive is taken up. Balls 9, Figs. 1 and 2, engage vertical grooves 4 in the drum 1 and ratchet teeth 8 on the shaft 7. There may be unequal numbers of balls and ratchet teeth. Instead of ratchet teeth, a spiral groove may be formed on the shaft 7, as shown in Fig. 3, in which modification the drum 1 is not driven when the shaft rotates forward until one of the balls reaches the end 12 of the spiral groove. On backward rotation of the shaft, the balls mount the groove and fall by their own weight when they reach the upper limit of the groove. Guides may be provided to cause this movement of the balls so that the clutch may be used with a horizontal shaft. The spiral groove may be formed in the drum instead of in the shaft, or in both, and in the latter case there will be twice as much lost motion. The device is employed for the automatic regulation of brakes applied by screws or chains. By inserting a rod through the holes 15 to keep the balls at the top of the device, free motion in either direction is permitted.
