Abstract: 4946. Haussner, K. Feb. 29, 1908, [Convention date]. Recoil apparatus.-Consists in the application to differential-recoil guns of mechanism for altering the tension of the run-out spring without moving the gun when in the recoil position. The gun A, to which is attached a brake cylinder D, is held in the recoil position shown in Fig. 1 by means of a catch e which can be released by operating a handle E, thus allowing a run-out spring C, stressed between the end b<3> of the gun cradle B and a collar d on the brake-cylinder D, to expand and run the gun out to the position shown in dotted lines, in which the charge is automatically exploded. The collar d has a screwed thread engaging with a corresponding thread on the cylinder D, and also a forked projection d<1> engaging with a guide b<2> on the cradle B, so that, when the brake cylinder D is rotated through bevel-gearing G, F, by means of the handle J, the pressure of the spring 0 may be released when the gun is not being fired, or varied to suit different powder charges, or adjusted if slackening occurs owing to wear. Also the bevelwheel G may be connected to the elevating-gear of the gun so that the tension of the recoil spring may be automatically adjusted to give a uniform length of recoil for all angles of elevation and depression. In case of a miss-fire, the gun is brought to rest by means of a brake, and may be returned to the recoil position by turning the handle J. The application of the invention to guns not fitted with a brake cylinder, and to guns having an india-rubber accumulator is described. The recoil spring may also be replaced by an air-accumulator.

Abstract: 27,513. Vandevelde, A. Nov. 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Balances; stop-mechanism. - Relates to an apparatus for automatically recording the arrival of homing pigeons, in which the clockwork is provided with a double balance-wheel 8, 9, to prevent fraudulent acceleration or retardation. A drum 1, provided with compartments for the reception of rings, carries disks 2, upon which the time of arrival is printed by dials 4 driven by clock-work 3. The clock-work is put in motion at the exact time of closing the apparatus by an impulse communicated to one toothed wheel 9 of the double balance-wheel through levers 14, 16 by a lever 12, which is displaced by the rotation of the drum 1 consequent upon the closing of the apparatus. The lever 16 is pivoted and pressed by a spring 18 to keep a pawl 19 on the lever 16 in engagement with the wheel 9. A projection carried by the drum 1 is arranged to move the end 22 of the lever 12 when the drum is given a partial rotation to close the apparatus. The pawl thus starts the movement and becomes disengaged from the wheel 9. The movement is stopped at a predetermined second by a stop 25 on the lever 16, which engages a notch 24 in a collar on the spindle of the wheel of the seconds movement.
