Title: Improvements in Matrix Composing Machines.
IPC: B41B11/06
Filed: 1912-05-31
Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 12,850. Linotype & Machinery, [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen - Fabrik Ges.]. May 31. Magazines for typebar making machines. Relates to means for effecting a quick-change of the magazine. The column of magazines rests upon a frame 3, Fig. 1, which is supported at three points, one at the front and two at the rear, by cams 16. 15 mounted on shafts 18, 17 which can be rotated by means of a shaft 23 bearing a handle 22 in order to change the magazine. The cams may be replaced by levers or screws. Bars 26 on the machine frame engaging rollers on the magazine frame guide the column and prevent it from slipping tn the front, or pins engaging in slots in the machine frame may be used. The magazines are balanced by a spring 30 connected to a bar 28, which is pivoted to the magazine frame and moves at its lower end in a guide 29. Any equivalent arrangement of springs or weights may be employed. The shaft 23 carries a locking-disk 32 containing a notch which is engaged by a hand-lever 34 to hold the magazine in use in register with the assembler and magazine entrances. Change of magazine is prevented if any matrices remain on the distributor or project from either end of the magazine. A matrix-detector 41, Fig. 3, is connected to the hand-lever 34 so as to be projected into the path of the matrices on the distributor-bar when the hand-lever is disengaged from the locking-disk 32. The hand-lever therefore cannot be disengaged while any matrices remain on the distributor-bar. A second matrixdetector 46 also connected to the hand-lever is adapted to cover the entrance mouth of the magazine in use, and a third to move in front of the delivery mouth. If it is desired to make a quick change in spite of the projection of a matrix from the entrance mouth of the magazine, the pivoted magazine entrance is rocked down by a rod operated by the handle 22. To prevent matrices from entering the wrong magazine when the magazine entrance is rocked down, the magazines below the one in use are closed by a plate 76, Fig. 1. Escapements.-The escapement-rods 8 are disengaged from the levers by a frame 61 carried by a hand-lever 34 and comprising a rod which engages notches in. the rear side of the escapement-rods and a bar which engages the front side of the rods. The escapementpawls are circular in cross-section and pass throngh circular holes less in diameter than the width of the' matrix-grooves. Distributing matrices.-To prevent matrices of a wrong fount from entering the distributorbox, there is provided a sliding rod 67, Fig. 9, bearing a pin 68 which co-operates with notches in the feet of the matrices. The rod 67 bears against a lever 69, the lower end of which rests against one of a series of pins 73 of varying length projecting from a boss on the shaft 17. The pins 73 correspond to different magazines, and so adjust the rod 67 that only the matrices of the magazine in use can reach the distributor.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Ammunition Ramming Apparatus of Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A9/42
Filed: 1912-06-27
Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 15,056. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. June 27. Loading-a p p l iances.-Relates to rammers of t h e kind that are automatically returned to the withdrawn position after each, long or short, ramming-stroke. According to the invention, the reversing - contrivance, which, in the example illustrated, is of the kind described in Specification 15,033/12, is s e t into the position for reversing at the end of the projectile-ramming stroke by a sliding stop on the gun-loading cage as the latter completes its ascent, and is afterwards moved into the position for reversing at the end of the powder-charge ramming-strokes, by the displacement of the stop by the actuating- mechanism for the powder-doors of the cage. If the gun-loading cage has a rotary powder-holder, or a powder-holder that is displaced bodily on to the projectile tray of the cage, the reversing- contrivance is normally held in the position for reversing the projectile-ramming stroke, and is moved into the powder-charge stroke position by a cam on the rotary holder, or by a projection on the bodily-movable holder when the holder is actuated. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the first construction, and Figs. 5 and 6 are detail views showing two positions of the reversing-contrivance and parts associated therewith. The rammerchain A<1> has two specially-formed links G, Fig. 5, and F, Fig. 6. These links co-operate with a lever E, pivoted in the rammer-casing A, in the manner described in the before-mentioned Specification. The spring of the lever E tends to rotate the lever into the position shown in Fig. 6, in which it can be engaged by the link F but not by the link G, but the lever E is normally held in the position shown in Fig. 5 by a second spring-pressed lever D<2> pivoted to the casing A, and may then be engaged by a projection on the chain-link G. The link F moves the lever into the rammer-reversing position at the end of the projectile-ramming stroke, and the link G effects the reversal at the end of the powder-charge ramming-stroke. When the gun-loading cage C ascends, a projection d on a sliding member D on the cage rocks the lever D<2> into the position shown in Fig. 6, and permits the lever E to assume the position for engaging' the link F. Upon the actuation of the powder-doors handle C' of the cage, a cam C<1Î> lifts the member D, and causes the projection d to pass above and release the lever D<2>. The lever E is next moved into the position shown in Fig. 5 by the lever D<2> and may then be engaged by the link G.

Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 29,608. Sandell, H. K. March 2, [Convention date]. Registering webs.-To adjust the contactbrushes of an electric tracker-bar after expansion or contraction of the tune-sheet, a bar is provided having slots inclined to the direction of the tune-sheet travel at progressively-increasing angles from the central slot outwards, and in opposite directions on opposite sides of the central slot, as shown in Fig. 1. The brushes pass through the slots in this bar, which can be adjusted backwards and forwards in the direction of travel of the tune-sheet, and guidemembers are simultaneously moved nearer together or further apart to keep them in contact with the edges of the tune-sheet. The application of the invention to tune-sheet perforating machines is mentioned. The brushes 13 pass through the variously inclined slots 39 in the plate 33, and are adapted to contact with a roller 12 through apertures in the tune-sheet 11. The plate 33 has extensions 34 which fit into grooves 17 on the flanges 16 of the frame 14. The extensions 34 are provided with pins 35 which engage inclined slots 30 in a member 29, which passes through slots 18 in the flanges 16 and behind the frame 14. A screw 38 projects from the flange 16 and carries a nut 36 engaging a slot 37 in the member 29. By rotating the nut 36, the member 29 is moved longitudinally, causing the slotted plate 33 to move in the line of the tune-sheet travel owing to the cam-action of the slots 30 on the pins 35. The brushes 13 are thus adjusted to correspond with the spacing of the tune-sheet apertures when the tune-sheet expands or contracts. The plate 33 has a projection 40 which is adapted to wedge apart T-shaped members 23, having flanges 23<a> which contact with the edges of the tune-sheet. The members 23 slide in grooves 21 on the frame 14, and are connected by a spiral spring attached to studs 25 which pass through a slot 31 in the member 29. The members 23 are held in position by pins 28 fitting into holes 19 in the flanges 16, and also by the spring which presses against a projection on the back of the frame 14. Lugs 20 are provided for attaching the tracker-bar to the instrument. Specification 10,618/05, [Class 88, Music &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 9371. Embury, R. P. R., and Bacon, R. H. S. April 21. Projectile fuses.-Relates to base and nose percussion fuses of the kind in which the percussion cap and the firing-pin are contained in a closed chamber secured in the body of the fuse so that, in case of premature explosion of the percussion cap, the flash is confined to the chamber and the fuse is not fired, but on impact with the target the chamber breaks away from its attachment and makes an opening through which the flash can pass. According to the invention, the percussion cap c is rigidly fixed in the body of the fuse, so that it does not move relatively to it on impact, and the firing-pin e<1> is similarly fixed in the chamber e, and not as has heretofore been proposed to a pellet movable in the chamber; or the firing-pin is fixed in the body of the fuse and the percussion cap in the detonator. On impact, the chamber e shears a flange b<4> and moves forward, firing the percussion cap and opening a passage for the flash to pass to and through ducts b<3> to the detonator charges d, h, h<1>. In the base fuse shown, an additional safety is provided in the form of a centrifugal bolt f which is released at the moment of discharge by a rod g pushed inwards by the pressure of the gun gases. In a nose fuse, the chamber e is at the forward end of the fuse and, on impact, is positively pushed back relatively to the rest of the fuse.
