Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 26,639. Lamplough, r. Nov. 16. Speed - varying mechanism. - In hydraulic transmission gear of the type in which oil is delivered from a set of rotary pumps to a similar set of pumps acting as a motor, a variable power i s automatically o btained and controlled by a centrifugal governor on the driven shaft. The driving - shaft a, Fig. 1, carries a pinion f which meshes with two spur-wheels g carried by the axles h<1> of the primary pumps h. These pumps are preferably of the type in which segmental pistons i rotating between concentric cylinders j, k, approach and recede from one another. The pistons are carried round by means of trunnions moving in slots in the driving-rings l. The primary pumps h draw oil from a reservoir d<2> and deliver it into an annular chamber d<3>. The shaft b is driven by a pair of pumps similar to those above described but situated in the other two quadrants of the casing. The oil is discharged from these secondary pumps through ports p and a sleeve valve q. The valve q is controlled by the governor r by means of two rods s passing through the shaft b and pressing on the thrust bearing t. Thus the quantity of oil delivered from the secondary pumps is determined by the speed of the shaft b, the apparatus simply acting as a clutch at the highest speed.

Abstract: 29,929. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Dec. 23. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Relates to firing-mechanism, and consists in a device which automatically extracts the used primer from the vent axial, and inserts a new one in its place from a magazine during the opening and closing of the breech. In the form shown, a transversely-sliding member A<3>, Figs. 12 and 15, actuated by the breech-opening mechanism, has pivoted to it at a<3> levers A<2> turning on pins a<2> in plates A<1>, which are pivoted at a<1> to the lock casing A, and carry bosses a<4> working in cam-grooves a<4Î>, Fig. 4, in the box slide B: On opening the breech, the member A<3> is moved to the right, and through the levers A<2> causes the plates A' to rotate on the pins a<1>. A radial undercut groove a, Figs. 12 and 18, on the front wall of the lock casing A engages with the rims of the spent primer and a new primer in the magazine C, and extracts them, when the lock casing A slides rearwards, as the bosses a<4> are guided along the straight parts of the grooves a<4Î>. Projections a<ÎÎÎ> on the plates A<1> at the same time retract the striker E. The rearward motion of the lock casing A is automatically arrested when the primers have been entirely withdrawn, and the continued motion of the members A<3> then causes lateral displacement of the lock casing A, carrying the spent primer p with it until this is released from the groove a and its spring clip e<1>, and ejected by contact with the new primer p<1>, which remains stationary. The motions of the lock casing are reversed on closing the breech, the new primer being carried along by the clip e<1>, into alinement with the vent axial B<1> and finally forced into it. During this final motion, the magazine C is rotated, to cause a fresh primer to enter the groove a on the casing, by a spring pawl C<1> pivoted on the member A<3>, and is held in position by a spring catch C<2> on the box-slide B. In the Provisional Specification, it is also stated that the annular form of magazine shown may be replaced by an endless belt revolving in the carrier.
