Patent GB-191306724-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Sporting or the like Guns.
Inventor: VERDUD JOSE ALBAYA Y
IPC: F41A3/44
Filed: 1913-03-19
Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 6724. Albaya y Verd·d, J. March 19. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breechblock.-Relates to automatic guns with recoiling barrels, in which the breech-bolt is caused to move on recoil faster than the barrel by a lever pivoted to the breech frame, and rotated by the recoil movement, and consists (1) in adapting this lever to be rotated on recoil by the engagement of a toothed sector on it with a rack on the breech frame; and (2) in combining with this device a transversely-moving locking-slide located at the rear of the breechbolt, and having an aperture for the bolt, the aperture being centralized for the passage therethrough of the bolt, only when the recoil has commenced. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the barrel 2 and breech-body 18 recoil together after discharge on the non-recoiling breechframe 13, 13a, compressing the recoil-spring 31. A cam surface 14 operates on a transverselysliding locking-slide 16, and causes the aperture 17 in it to aline with the breech-bolt 19a. A rack 21 on the breech-frame then engages and rotates toothed sector 22 pivoted to the breech body and integral with a slotted arm 24 engaging a pin 25 on the bolt - head 19, whereupon the bolt is moved rearwards through the gate 16 at a rate faster than the breech body, to open the breech. The rear end of the firing-pin 20 projects through the aperture 17 in the slide 16, and is adapted to be struck by the sliding hammer 4, when this is released by a pull on the trigger 6. A stop 29 acting on the lever arm 24 presses the bolt 19a firmly against the barrel in the closed position. The cartridges are fed from a longitudinal magazine 2.

Abstract: 7157. Ilg, A. March 30, 1912, [Convention date]. Tell-tale apparatus.-For the identification of persons engaged in transactions with documents, the documents are stamped with a date stamp and a number, and one or more similarly numbered photographs of the person are taken at the same time, the operation of the cameras being electrically or otherwise controlled from the date stamp. The stamp is preferably provided with a double platen, the part 23 cooperating with the time and date wheels, and the part 22 for printing the number when desired on the document slidable with reference to the part 23, and brought into position to print or not by turning the handle 1. On the part 22 is fixed a contact-piece 24, so that, when a number is printed on the document, an electric circuit y is closed. This operates an electromagnet 16 for changing the number-wheels 15, a magnet 27 for altering an indicator 28, and the shutter of the camera 26, which photographs the person engaged in the transaction, and also the number 28. If desired, several cameras may be used at different parts, and special printing - mechanism may print the numbers direct on the photographic film, a fresh portion of which may be moved into position by automatic means after each exposure.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Explosive Bombs.
Inventor: ELIA GIOVANNI EMANUELE
IPC: F42C1/09
Filed: 1913-12-09
Granted: 1915-01-11
Abstract: 28,433. Elia, G. M. Dec. 9. Projectiles; projectile fuses.-Relates to bombs intended to be dropped from aeroplanes, and comprising a casing from which the bomb proper is expelled upwardly by a charge ignited on impact of the casing with the ground, the bomb being exploded after it has reached a certain height above the ground. According to the invention, the explosion of the bomb is caused by the pull of a cable connecting the bomb proper to the casing. As shown in Fig. 2, the bomb A is normally fixed in the casing B by screws b. On impact with the ground, a firing-pellet B<3> shears its retaining-projections b<3x> and ignites a percussion cap b<1>; this ignites a priming- composition b<x>, which fires a charge C and causes the expulsion of the bomb from its casing B. When the bomb reaches a given height, a cable D<2> attached to the bomb and to the casing becomes taut, and the pull of this cable first cocks a spring hammer D', then shears a pin d<1x>, whereupon the released hammer strikes a cap D<3>, and explodes the bomb. This fuse and its attached cable are enclosed in a tube d screwed to the bomb and to the casing, and weakened at d<x> to permit it to break when the bomb is discharged from the casing. To prevent premature action, the firing-pellet B<3> is normally held inoperative by a screwed spindle E<1> which in turn is held by a pin E<x>. The pin is removed before the bomb is dropped, and, during flight, the spindle E<1> is rotated by a winged tail E and thus unscrewed from the pellet B<3>. The winged tail E also serves to maintain the casing lowermost during flight. The bomb may be of the high-explosive or of the shrapnel type.

Inventor: DICK ALBERT BLAKE
IPC: B41C1/14
Filed: 1915-04-12
Granted: 1915-11-25
Abstract: 5472. Dick, A. B. April 12. Stencils. - A stencil for producing printed forms with some of the blanks already filled in, such as are used in railway and shipping work, is made by first impressing the stencil sheet with an electrotype or other printing-surface to produce the form outline, and subsequently impressing in a typewriter those blanks in the form outline requiring to be filled in by the stencilling process. The impression of the stencil, together with its backing-sheet, against the electrotype &c. is effected by pressing it lightly a number of times against the electrotype, as by means of a roller or series of rollers, or by mounting the sheets on a large roller adapted to be rolled over the electrotype several times. In one form of apparatus, the electrotype 15, with an underlying sheet of rubber 16, is secured on a table 8 adjustably supported on cams 6, 7 linked together and adjusted by a hand-lever movable over a quadrant on the outside of the frame carrying the cam shafts. The stencil sheet 17 secured, as by adhesive, to a backing-sheet 18 is laid over the electrotype &c., and the sheet 18 is secured at one end by holes therein engaging pins 27 fixed in an inclined face of a bar 19 extending across the table, a clamping-plate 26 being applied by nuts 29 retained in flanged casings on the plate 26 screwing on the pins 27. The bar 19 may be fixed to the table, or held to the electrotype by an extension 21 thereof engaging the bar and secured by screws. The impression is effected by hard-rubber rollers 38 carried by chains 37 passing round sprocket-wheels 33, 34 driven by gear from a handle, the roller spindles carrying disks which ride under guides 40 secured to the frame. The electrotype &c. is preferably angularly displaced on the table to distribute the pressure. The additional characters are subsequently produced at the required parts of the sheet, which can then be used in a duplicator.

Inventor: THOMPSON HENRY ARTHUR
IPC: B61L3/12
Filed: 1915-08-25
Abstract: 12,228. Thompson, H. A. Aug. 25. [Cognate Application, 14,844/15.] Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-In apparatus as described in Specification 18,443/14, the polechanging relay x, receiving the feeble currents from the train-carried coil a, is a moving-coil relay in which the moving coil turns about a fixed soft-iron core. Also, instead of the tuned relay R<2> sounding the whole of the time during which safety conditions of the track obtain, a silent tuned relay R' is normally in action to hold closed the circuit of the train-stopping solenoid M, and the sounding-relay R<2> is put in place of the silent relay only as a train passes over that part of a track where signals are given. For this purpose, the silent relay is held in the circuit controlled by the polechanging relay x by an armature 3 of a rapidlyacting electro-magnet C in the circuit of the slowly-acting solenoid M, and the induction apparatus on the track is intermitted at the commencement of the said part of the track, so that for a moment the relay R' ceases to hold closed the circuit of the relay C and solenoid M, and the relay C, in falling, opens permanently the circuit of the silent-reed relay R' and closes that of the sounding-reed relay R<2>. In a modification, a silent-reed relay is not provided, and the armature 3 is used to muffle the sounding- devices until it falls as described above. The reed relays comprise reeds vibrating between extensions of like polarity of a permanent magnet, the extensions being wound to receive the alternating current provided by the batteries 1 and the pole-changer. In a modification, the extensions are of unlike polarity. Apparatus is also described in which the silent and sounding relays are connected in parallel and series respectively.
