Granted: 1913-10-09
Abstract: 24,772. Johnston, A. G. Kent-. Oct. 29. [Cognate Application, 25,282/12.] Valves controlled from, a distance by variations of gas pressure. The valve 3 is arranged to be lifted off its seat 4 during the movement of the bell or diaphragm h and partly rotated before returning to the valve seating, thereby effecting the lighting or extinguishing of the main burner. The valve 3 is loosely pivoted at 2 to a rod k carried by the bell, and ratchet teeth 5 are provided, as shown. When the bell rises sufficiently, a loosely-hung arm 6 engages one of the ratchet teeth and rotates it through 90 degrees, a stop 7 preventing further angular rotation. In the raised position, gas passes through ports s, t in the valve seating 4 to the main and pilot burners, and when a cap m contacts with a terminal 14 the gas is electrically ignited and the main burner lighted. When the valve returns to its seat, gas passes through the opening 9 to the main burner, as shown. Further rotation of the valve through 90 degrees closes the valve. In a modification, the rotary valve member has ports whereby the main and pilot burners are supplied alternately when the valve is seated. In this arrangement, electrical ignition is not necessary.

Title: Improvements in Sighting Devices for Airship Repelling Guns.
IPC: F41G3/02
Filed: 1915-05-12
Abstract: 7144. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. May 28, 1914, [Convention date]. Sights and methods of sighting.-Relates to sights for anti-aircraft guns in which (1) mechanism giving an independent line of sight is employed, the sight being mounted so as to move with the gun in elevation, and being kept on the target during the ranging operation by moving it through an equal and opposite angle to the gun, and (2) the reader of the range scale can be adjusted to a part of the scale which corresponds to the angle of site of the target. The invention consists in adjusting the reader for angle of site during the pointing operation, the range scale being moved with respect to the reader during the ranging operation. Fig. 2 shows in sectional rear elevation the improvements applied to sighting- apparatus of the kind described in Specification 4735/05. The sight bracket b<3> is shown fixed on the gun trunnion b<1> so that, when the pointing- gear D, mounted on the fixed carriage C, is operated, the gun and sight together are moved through an angle equal to the angle of site of the target. The operation of the gear E elevates the gun for range, the sight-bar F being moved, with respect to the bracket b<3>, through an equal and opposite angle by means of the flexible connexions J, J<1>, J<2>, H. The attachment forming the present invention is carried by an arm b<6> attached to the trunnion b<2> as shown in outside elevation in Fig. 2, and in an enlarged sectional view in Fig. 5. The action is as follows. A toothed sector T is first adjusted on the trunnion b<2> with the aid of a spirit level by means of a worm t<3> mounted on the carriage C. The pointing-gear D is then operated, a reader m<1>, during this operation, being moved on to the proper part of a. range scale K divided into four sections corresponding to angles of site from 0 to 15, 15 to 25, 25 to 35, and 35 to 45 degrees. This is effected through sliding parts m<2> , M by a grooved drum N. Fig. 7, which is fixed to a spindle n<2> freely mounted in the arm b<6>and is rotated by the engagement of a pinion r<1> with the fixed sector T through a sun-and-planet gear R, P, S, the wheel S being locked by a worm i<9> on the shaft J<1>. During the ranging operation, the drum K is rotated by a pinion i<8>, Fig. 2, carried by an extension of the shaft J<2>, the reader m<1> being kept on its proper scale, as the shaft n<2> carrying the drum N is prevented from rotating by the action of the sun-and-planet gearing.
