Abstract: 8413. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. June 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Recoil apparatus. - Relates to fluid-pressure brakes for ordnance provided with means to regulate the length of recoil, and consists in providing grooves in the outer cylinder for the escape of liquid corresponding to the shortest recoil, and perforations in the piston, the section of which is adjustable from outside the cylinder, so that the perforations are closed for the shortest recoil and are proportionately opened for longer recoils. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the cylinder A is attached to the spur E of the gun barrel, and the piston B and hollow pistonrod B' are attached to the cover F of the gun slide carrier. A hollow rotatable cylinder C is arranged within the rod B', and a throttling- rod D projects into the cylinder C. Short grooves a<1> are provided in the cylinder A to allow the liquid to pass from one side of the piston to the other, and the piston has perforations b<3> which are in alinement with similar perforations c<5> in the head c<2> of the cylinder C and lead to the annular space c<4>. By rotating the cylinder C, the perforations b<3>, c<5> may be moved partially or completely out of line with each other. In operation, the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1 when set for the longest recoil; the liquid then passes through the grooves a' and also through the perforations b<3>, c<5>, and the annular space c<4>. The space c<4> is gradually throttled by means of the rod D. For the shortest recoil, the perforations b<3>, c<5> are placed out of alinement, and the recoil then ceases when the piston B passes the ends of the grooves a<1>. To obtain a smooth running-out with any length of recoil, an annular space b<2> is provided, which communicates by passages b<4> with the cylinder A, and by passages c<7> with the space c<3>. A non-return valve G and grooves c<6> of small sectional area are provided in the cylinder C. In a modification, the cylinder C is arranged to move longitudinally to open and close the openings b<3>, c<5> for regulating the length of recoil.

Title: Improvements in and relating to High Tension Electrical Coils, such as Induction Coils, Transformer Coils, Armature and other Windings and the Process of Forming same.
Inventor: MILTON JOHN LEWIS
IPC: H01F41/12
Filed: 1911-05-04
Granted: 1912-05-06
Abstract: 10,827. Milton, J. L. May 4. Transformers.- Induction coils, transformer coils, armature windings, and the like for high tensions are wound in alternate layers of wire and soft sheet rubber, the tension of the wire squeezing the rubber into all the interstices. The Specification describes the construction of an induction coil. Compounded rubber on a fabric backing is reinforced with thin pure Para rubber. A strip of this duplex material is wrapped round a core 20 of vulcanized fibre, which is clamped upon an arbor 29 between tinned flanges 28, the backing being removed as the strip is wound on. Upon this, the first layer of tinned and preferably cotton covered wire is wound, then a second layer of rubber tape, and so on till sufficient secondary wire is on the spool. The rubber strips are somewhat wider than the space between the flanges so that they leave a good surface of rubber at the ends of the coil. The primary winding of thicker wire is wound in the same way, a few extra turns of rubber tape being wound over the secondary and also over the primary. The terminals 40 of the primary winding have two clips 39 carrying grooved studs and loops 38. The latter are clipped over the ends of the wire, and preferably soldered The clips have holes into which the rubber insulation becomes pressed, and they are bound in their positions at the extremities of a diameter bv linen threads. The inner terminal of the secondary winding is constituted by a loop connector 23 under which the secondary wire passes. This is passed through holes 22 in the core 20 before the winding is commenced, and the first layer of insulation is cut away in its vicinity to allow the connexion with the secondary wire to be made. After winding, the coil is removed from the spool and placed between heads 44 of compounded rubber in a tin or aluminium mould, shown in Fig. 15, and the whole is vulcanized. Screws 47 secure the halves of the mould, and pressure is applied by a plunger 48 and screws 49, capillary holes 50 allowing the air to escape. In an alternative construction, fibre washers 51<1> are placed in the rubber heads 44, these exceeding the diameter of the core and preventing its shifting during vulcanization. A pin 52 may be placed in the core of the coil, resting in recesses in the mould and being removed after vulcanization. A machine screw 51, Fig. 2, which may be of magnetic material, is passed through the core and engages the connector 23, a clip 53 secured under the screw head by a nut serving for the secondary connexion.

Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 12,049. Gutjahr, E. Sept. 3, 1910, [Convention date]. Testing efficiency of casks.-In apparatus for testing casks for leakage by immersing them in water and then charging them with compressed air, a pair of supports s, s<1> for the casks is adapted to be reciprocated along a vertical framing f by means of a piston-rod r attached to a projecting arm m. The support s for the cask under test is rotatable and this allows every part of the cask to be examined. The arm m carries a nozzle d rotatable on ball bearings and provided with a three-way cock, the position of which is controlled by a rack. By means of this cock (1) compressed air which is supplied by a flexible pipe p can enter the cylinder through a pipe e and thus support the casks in the elevated position; (2) the cylinder and the interior of the cask under test can be connected, thus allowing air to pass from the cylinder, and the cask and its support to fall into the water-tank w<1> by gravity; (3) the supply pipe p can be directly connected to the cask, the pressure in which is thereupon shown by a gauge c; and (4) the cask and cylinder can be again connected, whereupon the supports are raised. The supports are so constructed that a cask can be rolled from the support s<1> to the support s through the framing, and, when in their lowest positions, a fresh cask can be rolled from a runway on to the support s<1>.
