Abstract: 106,090. Asbury, D. F. April 13, 1916, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism, screw type. Consists in providing means operating independently of the rotary movement of the breech screw for effecting the longitudinal forward movement of the breech screw as the carrier moves towards the gun breech, the opening movement of the carrier being initiated by the rearward longitudinal movement of the breech screw. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to mechanism of the kind described in Specification 105,067, in which the breech screw B has its forward movement in the carrier C converted into rotary locking energy round a spigot C' by the engagement of a roller 17 on the breech screw with a cam M on the carrier. According to the present invention, a cam-lever 18, rocking on a vertical shaft 19, has an arm 20 which engages during the closing movement of the carrier with a cam-plate 24 on the gun A and through an arm 21 moves the breech screw forwards. The breech screw is unlocked by means of a hand-rotated crank-shaft 13 the crank-pin of which engages a cross-head 14 sliding in the breech block. During this operation, the breech screw is moved rearwards by the cam M and, bearing against the lever-arm 21, exerts a force to open the carrier, the breech screw being retained against forward movement in the carrier by a pin 22.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Submarine Mines.
IPC: F42B22/18
Filed: 1916-04-19
Abstract: 125,089. Vickers, Ltd., and Elia, G. E. April 19, 1916. Mines, marine. - Relates to submarine mines provided with paying.out gear for the anchor cables adapted to anchor the mines automatically at a given depth, and consists mainly in stopping the paying-out by the Sudden pull in the anchor cable due to the release of a short length of the cable and the consequent sudden acceleration of the mine followed by its sudden arrest when the short length becomes taut. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the mine 1 and anchor 2 first sink to the bottom, then a locking-memher 29 releases a small drum 27, allowing the mine to rise and drag the main cable 3 from its drum 4 as well as an auxiliary cable 23 from the small drum 27. As the mine rises, the rotation of the small drum 27 unlocks the pawl 7 of the main drum by unscrewing the spindle 25 from a screw socket 26 on the pawl 7. A third line 21, Fig. 6, attached at one end to the anchor, withdraws a locking-pin 19 from an hydrostatic device on the mine. At a given depth, the hydrostatic pressure on the diaphragm 14 is overcome by a spring 20, which removes a locking-bolt 16 from a block 10 and a guide-pin 18 therefor. The block 10, which is attached to the main cable 3, then falls off, paying out a loose length 11 of said cable and causing the mine to rise at an accelerated rate and then to be suddenly checked. This sudden pull on the cable causes a wire 12 holding back the pawl 7 to shear, and brings the pawl into engagement with ratchet teeth 9 on the main drum 4, thus stopping further paying-out of the cable. In another form, Fig. 5, the main drum 31 is vertical, a brake 44 is provided to prevent too rapid a paying-out of the cable, and the pawl 34, which is normally held, back by the shear wire 36, is prevented from accidentally unlocking the drum 31 after the mooring operation by a ratchet 41 brought into action by the member which un. locks the small drum 33 when the anchor touches bottom.

Title: Improvements relating to a method of dyeing textile and like materials
Inventor: KILBY WILLIAM
Filed: 1952-03-06
Abstract: In the dyeing of textile materials in continuous length with vat or sulphur dyestuffs, the material is impregnated under relatively heavy squeezing action, e.g., in a padding mangle, with a dye liquor containing reduced vat or sulphur dyestuff in solution, the impregnated material then being passed through an aqueous treating liquid floating on the surface of a molten metal bath and thence through the molten metal which gives a relatively light squeezing action.  The aqueous treating liquor may comprise a solution of solubilising chemicals, e.g., caustic alkali and sodium hydrosulphite, or the dye liquor itself, or simply water. The material is preferably preheated prior to impregnation, and the dyestuff solution and treating liquor are preferably heated prior to entry of the material.  The process is applicable to fabrics, felts, yarns, webs or strips of cotton, wool, rayon, nylon or glass fibres. Specifications 620,584, 661,086, 663,066, 665,454 and 681,983 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in mechanism for indicating and recording overweight for use in combination with automatic weighing apparatus
IPC: G01G23/18
Filed: 1922-02-26
Abstract: 197,102. Avery, Ltd., W. & T., and Johnson, S. H. Feb. 28, 1922. Automatic-feed weighers.-An overweight recording device for use in combination with automatic weighing machines comprises a connection from the weigh-hopper of the machine to a pendulous resistant, the weight of which is formed with a curved face whereby a differential motion is communicated to a one-way recording mechanism through a weight-controlled linkage. As shown in the Figure, a pendulous resistant 8 has its short arm 7 connected through a rod 6 and slotted links 5 to a stud 4 projecting from the side of the weighhopper. A weighted lever 15 is connected by a link 14 to a roller 14<a> which bears against a curved face 12a on the pendulum weight 12. The movement of the roller is constrained by a second weighted lever 30. When the weight of the material in the weigh-hopper exceeds the correct weight, the excess is balanced by the pendulous resistant, the movement of which allows the roller 14a to rise and causes a corresponding movement of the lever 15. A pawl 17 on the lever 15 engages a ratchet wheel 18 connected through a wheel-train 19, 20, 21 to a pointer 23 indicating on a dial 22. A double arm 25 mounted on the spindle 16 of the ratchet wheel, and rotatable therewith, engages the spring end 26 of an arm 27 connected at its opposite end to the operative spindle 28 of a totalizing counter 29, the indication on which is thereby increased bv one unit for each half revolution of the ratchet wheel. The total overweight at any time is given by the sum of the indications on the totalizing counter and on the dial 22. The point at which the overweight apparatus takes effect may be adjusted by a set-screw 9 in the slotted link 5. A dash-pot 10 may be connected to the rod 6. Weights are inserted in a loading-box 11 for initially balancing the overweight apparatus.

Filed: 1938-02-25
Abstract: 511,953. Transformers. SOMES, H. E. Feb. 25, 1938, No. 5989. Convention date, Feb. 25, 1937. [Class 38 (ii)] Electrical energy is selectively distributed to a number of inductive heating coils by means of a transformer comprising a plurality of secondary windings connected to the heating coils, and a coaxially arranged movable primary winding which may be inductively coupled with any of the secondary windings. Heater elements 14, Fig. 1, for heat treating a work piece such as an engine cylinder block 15 are energised from a high frequency source in a particular sequence by means of two transformers T, Fig. 2. Each transformer has three secondaries 16, Fig. 1b, wound internally on ring shaped cores 19 and mounted axially. the secondaries being connected directly to the heater coils through flexible leads 25. The primary winding 35 is wound externally on a ring core 40 and is mounted to move axially within the secondaries so that only the work circuit connected to the secondary with which the primary is inductively related is energised. Blank core elements 26 are provided at the ends so that when the primary is in these positions, in which all the secondaries are deenergised, its inductance is limited. The primary is moved by a short stroked fluid pressure motor 44, the cylinder of which is movable on a base 12 but is retained in particular positions by means of cam operated plungers. The primary is similarly locked by cam operated plungers which engage an extension 56 of the operating spindle. The sequence of operations is as follows.-The heater element associated with the first secondary of one of the transformers is lowered into the work piece a spray Q, Fig. 2, is moved into then energised to move the primary into association with the first secondary to cause energisation. The cam and plunger mechanism then locks the part 56 and releases the cylinder 44 so that reverse energisation of the motor moves the cylinder to its next operative position where it is again locked and the part 56 released. At the same time the heater element associated with the second secondary is lowered into the work piece. This sequence is followed until all three secondaries have been successively energised, whereupon a similar sequence is followed with the second transformer to complete the treatment of the work piece. With the next work piece the sequence is followed in the reverse order. When a heater element is removed from the work piece a spray Q, Fig 2, is moved into the work piece from beneath to effect quenching. Specifications 478,109, [Group XII] 505,073 and 508,027, [Group XI], are referred to.
