Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 25,426. Crossland, T. W., and Crossland, A. Nov. 2. Coal-cutting machines.-In an electric coal-cutting machine in which a ratchet mechanism operates the hauling-drum, a solenoid, the winding of which is in series with that of the motor, has a plunger connected to the ratchet mechanism in such a way that abnormal resistance to cutting automatically suspends the feed. As shown, the retaining-pawl o of the feeding-device is connected to the plunger r of the solenoid s, the pawl being normally kept in gear with its ratchet-wheel by a weighted lever u and a spring y. Abnormal resistance to cutting increases the current through the motor, and therefore through the solenoid, which attracts its plunger r and suspends the feed until the current falls to normal. When the hauling-drum is driven through worm mechanism from the ratchet-wheel, the solenoid is connected to the feed-pawl.

Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 17,484. Lender, F. Aug. 1. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to recoiling - barrel guns in which the breech is automatically operated by the action of an accumulator, and consists in loading the accumulator, by an inertia weight acting on fluid media, and sliding relatively to the gun barrel on recoil. In the form shown, the inertia weight a, Fig. 1, remains approximately stationary as the gun recoils, and drives the liquid from the chamber o' through the valve f, which closes automatically at the end of travel of the weight a, into the chamber o<2>, further compressing the already compressed elastic fluid b. To open the breech, the compressed fluid b is caused to drive the liquid from the chamber o<2> into the cylinder c through a hand - operated cock g, which is normally held by a catch in the closed position. The piston e is thereby forced rearwards, carrying with it the rack i, which gears with a pinion j, Fig. 5, on a hollow sleeve k, which may be connected, through the clutch l, with a shaft m actuating the breech spindle through suitable spur - gearing. At the same time, the piston e drives liquid through the passage h into the chamber o', and compresses the fluid d; the energy so stored serves to drive the piston e forward and close the breech when the cock g is turned to allow the liquid in the cylinder c in front of the piston e to flow back into the middle chamber of the cylinder o<1>. The breech may be hand operated if the clutch l be thrown over by the lever p', Fig. 1, so as to connect the shaft m to a worm-wheel q actuated by a worm on the hand-wheel p.

Abstract: 28,476. Timm, C. G. Dec. 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Records; recording and reproducing sounds photographically. - In recording sounds photographically on films or disks, the beam of light, before it strikes the diaphragm mirror, is given such a form in relation to a slit or slits in a plate covering the sensitized material that the picture produced is divided into segments. The reflected beam 1, 2 from the diaphragm mirror is of rectangular form and so disposed about the slit 5 in the plate 4 covering the sensitized film 3 that no impression is made on the film 3 when the sound diaphragm mirror is at rest. When the light picture 1 moves upwards, and the film 3 moves to the right, the right half of the picture 7 is produced on the film. When the light picture 1 then oscillates downwards, the left half of the picture 7 is produced. Similarly, on the continued downward movement of the light beams 1, 2, the latter starts and then finishes the light picture 8. Several modifications are shown having variously shaped slits 5 in the covering-plate 4, and variously shaped reflected beams 1, 2 from the diaphragm mirror. The record is reproduced by a beam of light with a selenium cell in a telephone circuit.
