Abstract: 365. Laird, C. W., Menteyne, P. M., and Degaille, P. A. Jan. 4. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to combined ejector and breech-arresting mechanism for-automatic guns, and consists in the special construction shown. The ejector E has a recess e, Fig. 1, in which is pivoted a pawl g, the nose of which is pressed by a spring h into engagement with a recess o on the underside of th breech casing m. The nose c of the ejector, passing through an opening l in the casing m, is thereby held in its lower position; a groove v in the breech-block permitting the breech-block to slide over it. The cartridges are guided in the magazine n by a pair of guides x, x<1>, shown in rear view in Fig. 12, one x<1> of which is pivoted, and is moved inwards by the spring x<3> when the last cartridge has left the magazine, causing the nose x<4> to press on the stud i of the pawl g, and release the nose of the pawl from the recess o. The ejector E then moves upwards under the action of the spring k, and its nose c projects sufficiently from the groove v to prevent the closing of the breech-block s after recoil. A lever r, pivoted to the trigger guard, is caused during this movement of the ejector to take up the dotted-line position, owing to the engagement of the nose q with the recess p, and serves, when the magazine has been refilled, to return the ejector to its normal position, and allow the breechblock to slide forward.

Abstract: 1982. Cleaver, H. C. Jan. 24. Clutches and speedvarying mechanism. - Hydraulic clutch mechanism comprises a driving-shaft G carrying a sun-pinion H which gears with planetpinions I, Figs. 1 and 3,- Moon -pinions J are journalled in the casing B and pinions A are mounted on the other end of these journals. The pinions A mesh with a central pinion M keyed to the driven shaft F, Fig. 4. The casing B is formed with a coned part which may contact with a rigid coned member D. The disk C may be moved by lever gear E to and from the pinions. The case is entirely filled with oil. By moving the disk C towards the pinions, the flow of liquid between the pinions is restricted and the whole nest of pinions and the shafts move as one. Free-engine position is as shown in Fig. 1. For reversal the drum B is held stationary by the coned member D. For holding the casing B fixed, a similar nest of pinions to that H, I, J may be mounted on the other face of the casing, and motion restricted by approaching the disk C.

Abstract: 29,399. Naamlooze Vennootschap " Protector." Dec. 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Wheel guards and obstruction-removers.- Safety devices for vehicles, of the type in which nets are fixed to a frame and to a pair of jaws which, when a releasing-bar strikes an obstacle, are moved forward by spring action thereby expanding the nets, are operated by a single spring which acts directly on the pivot of the jaws. The nets are secured to a frame 1, fixed to the vehicle, and having cross-bars 2, 3. The padded jaws comprise leather-lined tubes 14 and are pivoted at 8 to a cross-bar which has pins 6 sliding in slots 7 in the frame 1. Extensions 11 of the jaws are pivoted to links 12, pivoted to the fixed bar 2. A thrust rod 18 is connected to a double leaf-spring 20 and bears against the pivot 8. The jaws are kept open against the action of the spring 20 by hooks 22 which engage the pins 6 and are pivoted at 23 and connected by links 24, 25, 26 to a cross-shaft 27. A releasing-bar 30 is carried by two tubes 29 which slide on rollers 31 and carry stops 28 which retain the hooks 22 in engagement with the pins 6. When the bar 30 strikes an obstacle, arms 35 pivoted to the frame 1 at 36 are released from the bar, the stops 28 are moved away from the hooks 22, and the hooks are raised by lugs 33 which fit into cavities 34 in the tubes 29. The release of the hooks 22 causes the nets to be spread. To re-set the device, a handle and screw are used to draw on a cord connected to a lever 40 surrounding the pivot 8 and pivoted to a fixed part 38. As applied to a tramcar, the bar 30 is curved and the tubes 29 and the frame 1 are hinged so as to be turned up when the vehicle is out of use or used as a trailer.

Abstract: 6885. Pettie, W. F., and Lane, E. J. Lacombe-. March 20. Lantern slides.-Lantern slides are made by exposing a bichromated gelatine plate under a black-and-white transparency containing transparent letters, line drawings or the like sufficiently long to expose the gelatine down to the base. The plate is developed with warm water to wash away the unexposed gelatine, leaving the support bare 'at such places. The slide is then coloured either by colouring the printed gelatine, or the uncovered support. Gum or glue may be substituted for gelatine, and other supports than glass may be used, for example hardened gelatine. The slides may be made in a small size to fit the gate of a kinematograph projector with a view to dispensing with the necessity of an auxiliary optical lantern.

Abstract: 21,950. Schneider, E. Sept. 29. Compressed-air engines. -Relates to torpedo engines provided with means for preventing the opening of the "full-admission" valve to prevent racing before the propellers are fully in the water. According to the invention, the full-admission valve is opened after the motor has made a predetermined number of revolutions, by releasing the device that prevents its opening, by a mechanism coupled to the motor ; whereas, previously, the release was performed by a blade subjected to water pressure when the torpedo travelled. The invention is shown applied to the known starting and stopping device comprising the levers L, N, B controlling a reduced admission valve K, a stopping-device C, a full-admission valve A, and a device I, H for initially preventing the opening of the fulladmission valve. The member H is combined with another member F to form a clutch, which is brought into action by the rod I when the lever L is turned to the starting position L<1>. The member F is driven by a pinion F<1> from the motor, and the member H is set for the desired number of revolutions, indicated by a pointer H<1>, by means of a rotary head H<4> provided with a pin H<3> to drive the pointer H<1> and member H round, and pressed tightly against a seat H' by a spring H<5>. After the predetermined number of revolutions, a hole h in the member H comes opposite the rod I and allows the balance lever B to open the fulladmission valve A and, at the same time, to release the clutch H, F. When the engine is stopped and the levers returned to their initial position, a tension spring r' returns the member H to the initial set position.

Abstract: 13,051. Steinm³ller, L. May 27. Water-tube boilers; water chambers. - In a boiler in which drums k, o are connected by several banks of tubes, the tubes of the front bank are slightly inclined to the horizontal over the furnace, but are inclined at a considerable angle to the horizontal at the front of the boiler and are there protected from direct contact with the furnace gases by a baffle a extended over the furnace at c and resting on a projection b from the furnace arch. Tubes p connect the drum o to a rear drum m, which has steam and water connexions q, e discharging into chambers r, f formed in a central drum d arranged above the superheater. Pipes l connect the front drum k to the drum d and discharge into a chamber s formed therein. In a modification, the banks of tubes are farther apart to allow ashes to settle on the baffle a and protect the front of the boiler from heat; or, alternatively, the baffle a may be replaced by a row of tubes arranged to form a wall. To facilitate the renewal of the tubes, the front bank may be divided at the bend, and the approximately vertical and horizontal portions of the tubes inserted into a water-box, to which access may be had from the outside of the boiler. The box is either square in section fitted with guides for directing the water, or is made triangular for the same purpose.
