Title: Improvements in Car Couplers.
Inventor: SIMONS WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: B61G3/06
Filed: 1911-11-18
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 25,798. Simons, W. H. Nov. 18. Couplings, automatic, of the Janney type. A transversely - extending tail on the knuckle is formed with a camsurface adapted to be engaged by a cam on the locking-member to open the knuckle when the locking-member is raised by a yoke which serves also to tilt the locking-member into the lock-set position. The knuckle 7 is pivoted by an elongated hole 10 upon a pin 13, and is formed with curved ribs 14 which engage behind similar ribs 15 on the coupler head to take the strain. An extension 16 of the knuckle swings into a housing 17 in the coupler head. The locking-block 18 adapted to fit in the locking position behind the tail 9 and against a shoulder 29 on the knuckle, has a depending portion 19, Figs. 6 and 7, which carries a forward extension 20 formed with a lug 21 and a knuckle - actuating cam 22. To unlock the knuckle the block 18 is lifted by a chain attached to the eye 28 of a verticallyguided yoke 26 formed with an horizontal extension 25 to engage a transverse groove 24 in the underside of the block. The groove is disposed to one side of the centre of the block so that, when the block is lifted, the depending portion 19 swings to one side until the lug 21 engages with the horizontal portion of a stirrup 23 fixed to the coupler-head, and the parts are then in lock-set position. The lifting of the block also throws open the knuckte by the engagement of the cam 22 with the cam portion 9<a> on the knuckle tail. When the knuckle moves to its closed position, Fig. 2, the upper face of the extension 16 engages the underside of the block 18 so that the lug 21 is released from the stirrup 23 and the block drops into locking position.

Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 20,986. Wennagel, T. S., and Wenjacit Ges. Sept. 14. Plastic compositions containing condensation products of phenolic or ketone compounds and aldehyde.-Fatty-acid soaps, or resinates, are added in the manufacture of phenol-aldehyde or ketone condensation products, to produce an insoluble rubber-like mass, the amount of soap being in excess of one-fifth the molecular equivalent of the phenol employed. Instead of phenol, other cyclic compounds such as anthraquinone may be employed, and aldoses or keloses such as raw sugar may replace the aldehyde or ketone. Albuminous substances such as glue and gelatine may be added to take part in the reaction, giving a horn-like product. A celluloid-like product is obtained by the addition of cellulose before the water split off in the condensation is evaporated. In the preparation of the bodies, the soaps or resinates are added to the aromatic bodies and caused to react by heat. The aldehyde or the like is then added and the mass is heated until it begins to thicken, whereupon it is moulded, or the phenol soap product may be placed in the mould with the aldehyde, and heated under pressure. Several examples of proportions are given.

Abstract: 22,687. Warsop, T., and Wigley, G. April 5, 1913. Parachutes.-A parachute,connected to an aviator or to a flying-machine, is expanded by the admission of compressed air to a bag B placed below the parachute envelope A. The bag may be arranged to burst when the parachute is opened, or it may be perforated so as to enable the air to escape and inflate the parachute. Cylinders E connected by a pipe N contain the compressed air, which is admitted through pipes F, L and a valve to a cylinder G containing a piston H. The piston is connected to a pipe C which connects with the bag B, and the parachute, pipe C, and bag are normally stored in the cylinder G. When the valve is opened, the piston H rises until restrained by chains I, the parachute is expelled, and air passes through the pipe C to the bag B. The piston may pass out of the cylinder, and in that case the pipe C passes through the piston and is fastened to the base of the cylinder a branch from the pipe C being provided with a valve so that the air first expels the piston and parachute and then, the valve closing, fills the bag B. A coupling K between the pipes F, L may be disconnected so that the aviator may strap the apparatus to his back by means of the pipe F.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Sighting Apparatus of Ordnance.
IPC: F41G3/22
Filed: 1913-03-29
Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 7497. Ges. f³r Nautische Instrumente. March 29, 1912, [Convention date]. Sights and methods of sighting, for guns on air-craft, of the kind in which two horizontal scales, connected together, are used to set off the speed and direction of motion of the ship carrying the gun and of the target. According to the invention, the two arms are independently mounted, the one for the motions of the air-craft carrying the gun being carried by an upright rigidly connected to the pedestal of the mounting, and the arm on which the motions of the enemy's craft are set off is carried by a support which is connected to the gun so as to follow the movements thereof, but is so constrained by guides on the pedestal that it always moves parallel to itself. The sighting- device is a range - finder, and its adjusting- device is arranged so that the setting of the range-finder automatically adjusts the tangent angle of the sights. The tangent angle is automatically corrected for the effect of gravity on the time of flight when firing upwards or downwards, at equal ranges, at targets above or below the gun. Fig. 4 is a side elevation and Fig. 5 a plan of the sighting-device. An horizontal arm 7 is pivoted at 6 to an upright 5 fixed to the pedestal 1 of the mounting. The arm is adjusted parallel to the direction of flight of the air-craft carrying the gun, and a slider 8 is set on the arm to a graduation corresponding to the speed of the air-craft. A vertical rod, jointed at its middle point 9, is carried by the slider and supports one end of a telescopic rod 10, to the rear end of which rod the range - finder sight 28 is rigidly secured. The second arm 20, adjustable in accordance with the direction of motion of the hostile aircraft, is pivoted at 19 to an upright 15 which is pivoted to the gun-barrel 4 by a trunnion 16 and a stirrup 17, and is guided by vertical, longitudinal, and transverse guides 14, 12, 11, so that, when the gun is trained or elevated, the arm 20 moves parallel to itself. A slider 21 is adjustable on the arm 20 to the estimated speed of the hostile air-craft, and has pivoted to it a cylinder 22, the inner wall of which has a spiral cam-groove. A rotatable piston, carried by a spindle 31, has a pin which engages with the groove. The spindle 31 and piston are rotated through bevel-gearing 35, 30, 36 by the adjusting hand-wheel 27 of the range-finder, so that, as the range-finder is operated, the sight is adjusted by the movement of the piston in the cam-cylinder 22 to the correct tangent-elevation for the range. The vertically-sliding supports 24 for the rear end of the sight-rod 10 are jointed at 25, coaxial with the axis of the bevel-wheel 30, so that, when the sight is elevated or depressed to sight a target above or below the gun, by rocking the device about the joints 9 and 25, the bevel-gear 30 will be rotated and will rotate the spindle 31 of the piston and cause the tangent-elevation to be corrected for the effect of gravity on the flight of the projectile.
