Title: Automatic Apparatus in connection with Lighthouses, Lightships, Buoys, Beacons, or any other Sea or Land Marks.
Inventor: ATTWOOD FREDERICK GEORGE
IPC: B63B22/16
Filed: 1909-10-01
Granted: 1910-10-03
Abstract: 22,320. Attwood, F. G. Oct. 1. Winding-apparatus.- In connexion with a lighthouse or like lamp having an intermittent gas feed, the diaphragm of the impulse chamber is arranged to actuate mechanism to wind up the clock that operates the lighting and extinguishing valve of the lamp. The crank-arm 34 is rocked by the diaphragm and actuates the arms 54, 55 which rotate the spring box 64 and arm 65 to cause the pawl 68 to drive the ratchet 69 and thus wind up the clock. When the clock is fully wound, the spring 64 is not strong enough to rotate the ratchet-wheel. The disk 72, which is driven by the clock at the rate of one revolution a day, carries a shaft 74 with a starwheel 76. A projection on the frame encounters one of the 7 points of the star-wheel at each revolution, hence giving the shaft 74 a weekly rotation period. The worm-wheel 73 rotates the wheel 78 once a year. The double cam 82, Figs. 3-and 7, which is used to operate a valve for lighting and extinguishing, has the length of its projecting portion regulated by the wheel 78 through two wheels 80 and arms 81 in such a manner as to arrange for the lighting and extinguishing to take place at sunrise and sunset throughout the year. The clock-winding means may be mounted directly upon the centre spindle.

Abstract: 8749. Chapman, C. C., Blaxley, F. J., Blaxley, F. H., and Harris, A. C. April 12, 1910. Rotary prism apparatus; rotary apparatus, internally illuminated.-An advertising- drum 3, Figs. 4 and 5, is intermittently rotated by a solenoid 11, fixed upon a shaft 4, and rocking a lever 15, thereby raising a detent pawl 20 and a driving-pawl 23 over the lantern-wheel 19 on the advertising drum 3, and raising the arm 27, which is on the driving - arbor of a clock - train. A finger 36 is also moved along a groove 37 and raises the shoulder 38 of a switch 12, supported upon a pivot 34. Thus a contact 32, 33 is broken and a lamp 45 extinguished, while the deenergized solenoid 11 allows a tensioned spring 18 to actuate the lever 15. This causes the pawl 23 to rotate the lanternwheel* 19, and brings the locking-pawl 20 into position again. The clocktrain 40 causes the arm 27 and finger 36 to fall gradually. The finger 36 engages the shoulder 39 and brings the contacts 32, 33 together again. A spring piece 13 makes and breaks contact in the lamp circuit as the lever 15 rocks. The advertising plates 5, Fig. 3, may be attached to the drum by fixed rods 7 and pivoted spring- controlled bars 6. According to the Provisional Specification, colour-changing means may be employed.

Abstract: 11,705. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. July 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Loading-appliances. - Relates to ammunition hoists, and consists in an improved device whereby the gun can be supplied with ammunition and loaded at any elevation. In the example shown, the lift H, Fig. 1, carries wheels J guided along a pair of bars F', which are pivoted to the gun carriage A at f<2> and are provided with T-shaped slots in which slide bars F pivoted to a fork D rigid with the cradle B. The conveyer rope P passes round a pulley N, Fig. 7, turning on a carrier M connected slidably to the lift H by pins m<1>, which work in slots h<3>, Fig. 8, and are carried by rods L pivoted to the loading-tray K. Thence the rope P passes round pulleys N<1> on the lift H and is led over a series of pulleys Q, Q<1> .. Q<8>, Fig. 1, arranged in pairs, on opposite sides of the gun to a windlass P<1>. A fluid-pressure brake with fixed piston r<2> and movable cylinder R suspended from the rope P is provided to hold the rope taut in any position. In a modification, the fluid is replaced by a compressible spring. The ammunition is raised up the main hoist T and slides on to the table T<1>, and thence, when the lift is in its lowest position, into the loading-tray K, which turns on an axis k<1>, Fig. 7, co-linear, in this position, with the axes f<2> of the bars F', and is held by stops t<2>, k<3> at the proper inclination. If now the gun is elevated, the bars F slide in the bars F<1>, and both rock slightly about the axes f<2>, but the inclination of the tray K is unaltered, owing to the pins m<1> on the rods L sliding in the grooves h'. Further, the rope P remains taut, since the pulley Q' is so placed relatively to the pulley Q<3> as to compensate for any slack or taut caused by the sliding of the pulley N relatively to the pulleys N'. The windlass P<1> is then set in motion and the lift raised to the loading position, in which the axis k<1> of the tray is co-linear with the axis d<3> of the bar F, and pairs of stops k<5>, d<4> and k<3>, d<5> cause the tray to aline with the gun bore at any elevation. The projectile is then rammed home either by the chain rammer E, e<1>, located above the barrel so that the lift may be lowered even if the rammer is still in the barrel, or by hand if the rammer E, e' is swung aside about the pivot e<2>.
