Granted: 1912-02-07
Abstract: 26,092. Hailwood, E. A. Jan. 7. [Addition to 28,255/07.] Closed casings for igniting miners' lamps undergroud.-(1) To ventilate the accumulator and induction-coil chambers J, K without risk of passing flame, these chambers have circular threaded or bayonet-jointed doors J<1>, K<1>, which have inner and outer casings J<2>, J<3>, Fig. 6. A narrow flametight passage is left between these casings and the doors, and holes A<1> are provided in the doors. Distance-pieces M may be employed, in the form of rings having gaps cut therein. In a modification, the gap is formed by cutting a tortuous thread in the threads of the door. (2) The chambers are provided with locking-devices so arranged that only one chamber can be opened at a time. The door J<1> is supported by an arm J<4> , huog from a rod J<4> and slidable thereon for a short distance. The door K<1> is similarly hung from a rod K<3>, and the rods have end-pieces J<6>, K<4> which engage in a flange N on the base of the lamp chamber T<5>. The rods J<5>, K<3> are out of alinement, so that when one of them can be withdrawn into a gap K<5> in the flange N, the other is not opposite its gap J<9> ; and when either end-piece is withdrawn into a gap, it prevents rotation of the lamp chamber T<5>. The end-pieces J<6>, K<4> are so shape1 that either of the doors J<1>, K' can be turned up as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. On the chambers T<5>, T<6> is carried a rod 0, which has an enlarged head O<4>, and a locking-foot O<2>, Fig. 5, engaging a gap in the flange N. The upper part of the rod 0 is T-shaped in section, and engages a bracket O<1>, Fig. 2. The rod can be lifted and turned so that it is supported in the unlocked position by the bracket O<1>. (3) The doors may carry switch blocks or contacts so arranged that only when all doors are closed can the circuit be completed to ignite a lamp. (4) To restrict the space for the accumulation of gases, the chambers may be packed in otherwise vacant spaces with fire-brick, asbestos packing, &c.

Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 27,317. Brash, W. I., [Marquis, A. G.]. Dec. 6. Mariners' compasses; nautical instruments.- Consists essentially of a stationary pointer, such as a magnetic compass, mounted in conjunction with a miniature chart and viewed by reflection in such a way as to cause apparent reversion of the direction of rotation of the pointer relatively to the chart. As shown in Fig. 1, the stationary element consists of two pivoted needles 37, 37<a>, mounted in gimbal rings 22, 23 at the upper end of the casing 1. The miniature chart 36 is secured above the needles 37, 37<a>. Above the casing is a hood 4 mounted on arms 3 on the revoluble ring 2 and having at its rear end a sleeve 5 to which is attached a slidable rod 9 secured to the mirror 8. The reflected images of the compass and chart, which are illuminated by a second mirror 13 are seen through the windows 7, the chart being suitably marked and the indicating mark being placed on the south-seeking end of the pointer as shown in Fig. 3 so that their reflected images appear in the positions shown in Fig. 2. To avoid the use of pivot points, the magnets may be mounted in a liquid-tight float 38 immersed and balanced to remain midway between or in either of a number of different liquids in the bowl of the instrument. The bowl is steadied by the device shown in Fig. 9, which consists of a felt &c. washer 133 between metal washers 132, 134 which are pressed lightly against the gimbal ring 22 by a spring 135. Suitable arrangements of mirrors may be adopted when it is desired to view the instrument from the side. The magnetic needles 37, 37<a> may be replaced by a gyroscopic device. Allowance for variation is made by mounting the instrument out of line. The effect of reflection in the mirror 8 being to cause the needle &c. to appear to rotate in the same direction as the ship, it is only necessary to turn the latter until the needle lies along the course to be steered, and to maintain this direction.

Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 26,869. Mote, E. A. Nov. 22. Teaching rifle practice; machine-rests for.- Consists in providing sub-target instructionalapparatus in which no shot is fired, with (1) means for giving the effect of the recoil; (2) means for giving the effect of the report; (3) mechanism for causing the target to disappear when the aim is correct; and (4) a special stand for supporting the rifle. The effect of the recoil is caused by a piston C, Fig. 3, carried by a cylinder I at the top of a stand B<2>, which, when the trigger is pulled, is driven back by a spring A and strikes a block D fixed to the gun. The release of the piston is effected by an electro-magnet. The report is caused by the explosion of a blank cartridge in a chamber F carried by the stand. The firing- pin g<1> of this cartridge is electrically released. The circuits of both the recoil and report apparatus contain a push-button controlled by the instructor so that they are operative or not at his option. Mounted in the barrel of the rifle is a rod u<1>, which, when the trigger is pulled, is driven forwards a short distance by the blow of the firing-pin of the rifle. If the aim is correct, this rod strikes another rod C<2>, Figs. 2 and 4, and drives it forwards thus removing a wedge insulating-piece D<2> from between two spring contacts I<2>, which thereupon close an electric circuit and cause the target R<2>, Fig. 1, to fall. The rifle rests in a fork y, Fig. 11. fixed to the top of a telescopic pillar B<2>, O<1> which is provided with a collar R<1> for clamping the stand at the required height and with a lever U<1> for elevating the stand. A second stand V<2>, Fig. 13, may also be provided to support the gun at the rear. The fork y, Fig. 8, is provided with two spring contacts A<1>, Z, which engage metal contact plates D<1>, E<1> at the sides of the gun, thus establishing electrical connexion between the gun and the recoil and report apparatus.
