Patent GB-190920243-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Sighting Apparatus for Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41G1/393
Filed: 1909-09-03
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 20,243. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Sept. 3 Sights. - Relates to sighting - apparatus for ordnance adapted to fire at objects above the horizon, of the type in which the firing-angle is automatically corrected by means of a cam according to variation in the angle of site of the object aimed at. According to the present invention, the cam-surface is composed of a series of curves based on the firing-angles for various altitudes ; during the elevation of the gun, the cam is moved transversely, and, by means of a movable arm, corrects the position of the range-pointer. Range corrections are made by rotation of the cam. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 4, a casing K is bolted to an extension of the boss of the quadrant that brings the gun to the loading position, and a sight-elevating quadrant K<Î> carries the sight F, and is operated from the spindle k<2> of the range dial J<1>, the spindle being operated by worm and bevel gearing from the band-wheel L. An extension K<ÎÎ> of the boss of the quadrant K<Î> is hexagonal and carries the cam H free to slide thereon. Bolted to the cam is a square-threaded screw H<1>, the nut H<1Î> of which is attached to the gun carriage. The segment j, pivoted to the casing K and engaging teeth on the boss of the pointer J, is operated from the cam H by the roller h<Î> and arm h. The sight is first set to the desired range, and the gun is then elevated until the object is sighted. The pointer J having moved during the elevation of the gun, the sight F must be operated until the desired range is registered at the same time that the object is sighted. The range dial is readily removable by means of screws j<Î> and elongated slots j<1x>. Back-lash between the sight F and the range dial J<1> is minimized by making the sightelevating pinion in two parts, relatively rotatable and capable of being locked in the adjusted position. Springs l, obviate back-lash in the correcting-gear. Fig. 5 shows the invention applied to sighting-apparatus, and with ranging and pointing gear similar to that described in Specification 21,299/09. The cam H is mounted on a screw connected to the carriage, and operates the pointer J through the arm h. During the pointing operation, the cam moves transversely and corrects for altitude. During the ranging operation, the cam is stationary, the ranging shaft d<2> and consequently the pivot of the arm h moves, and hence the cam corrects for range.

Abstract: 6262. Haerst, P. March 13. Sweeping-machines; taking up refuse for removal.-Relates to sweeping-machines of the kind in which the dirt is delivered into a receptacle which may be operated to dump the refuse at will, and wherein the trunk of the machine is pivotally mounted, and means are provided for varying the pressure of the brushes on the ground. The invention consists principally in providing means for elevating the brush and simultaneously depressing the dust receptacle. The pressure of the brush on the ground is varied from the driver's seat by a direct lever movement. Fig. 2 shows in side elevation a casing which is balanced with respect to the wheel axis and which comprises a hood a for the brush, a casing a<1> for the elevator, and a dirt receptacle a<2>. The brush spindle H carries a sprocket-wheel h<2> rotated through spur and chain gearing from the wheel hub through the medium of a ratchet device to ensure rotation of the brush in one direction only of the vehicle. The elevator device consists of a series of brushes carried on chains which are operated by sprockets on a shaft rotated by a spur-wheel k and are carried over corresponding sprockets on a shaft L carried in yielding bearings l to prevent clogging of the elevator brushes when large obstacles are met with. The casing a, a', a<2> is connected with the shaft frame D through the medium of a spring f<3>, the strength of which may be varied by operating a handle F in order to alter the pressure of the brush on the road surface. The brush is raised from the surface when not required by operating a hand - lever E, which, through a lever e<3>, rocks the casing a, a<1>, a<2> to the position shown in dotted lines. The matter contained in the receptacle is dumped by operating a lever g<4> which, through levers g<1>, operates hinged doors G, G'.
