Patent GB-191120323-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Breech Mechanism for Firearms or Guns.
Inventor: BLOXAM ARTHUR GEORGE
IPC: F41A3/26
Filed: 1910-11-17
Granted: 1911-11-17
Abstract: 20,323. Bloxam, A. G., [Rheinische Metallwaaren-und Maschinenfabrik]. Nov. 17, 1910. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Consists in applying the breech action described in Specification 26,762/10 to a gun having a recoiling barrel. The breech-block is made in two parts, a rotary front part a which is locked to the barrel, and a non-rotary rear portion c connected to the first portion by inclined grooves n and studs q. After the discharge, the barrel and compound breech-block recoil together and acquire a maximum velocity. When the barrel is checked by its recoil spring and brake, the rear portion c of the breech-block moves backwards, against a comparatively lighter spring, at a greater velocity than the barrel; the resultant relative movement rotates and unlocks the front portion of the breech-block. Non- rotary locking-means of the kind described in Specification 26,762/10 may be employed instead of the rotary lock.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of 1.3-butadiene and Derivatives thereof.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: C07C4/00
Filed: 1911-12-06
Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 27,387. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Dec. 6. Hydrocarbon oils, cracking.-1:3 Butadiene and derivatives thereof are obtained by heating tetrahydrobenzene hydrocarbons or cyclopentenes. The heating may be effected in the presence of indifferent gases, or under ordinary or reduced pressure; the heating may be external or internal, for example by means of an electrically-heated wire, or both. The heating is preferably carried out so that the gases do not come into contact with a non-noble metal such as iron or nickel at temperatures above 100‹ C.; apparatus of quartz, platinum, or the like is preferably employed. The temperature should not be such as to cause carbonization of the gases, and the butadiene &c. should not remain too long in contact with the heated apparatus after its formation. According to examples, #1-tetrahydrotoluene mixed with nitrogen is heated to give isoprene; tetrahydrobenzene is heated to give 1 :3-butadiene; a product, probably of the formula CH3.CH=CHCH=CH2, is obtained from 1-methyl- #2-cyclopentene. Specifications 27,555/10 and 448/12 are referred to.

Abstract: 243. Arthur, W. Jan. 8, 1912, [Convention date]. Rotary-chamber apparatus.-Alkali silicates, in a solid and brittle form containing from 10 to 30 per cent of water, are crushed and heated to obtain a light highly - porous intumesced material suitable for heat-insulating, and having an apparent density 30 to 100 times less than the original material. The silicate, such as may be obtained by evaporating a solution, or by heating the melt with the requisite quantity of water in a closed vessel, is crushed and fed through a hopper 6 into a receptacle 7 in which baffles 8 guide it to apertures 9, through which it escapes into the main part of the rotary cylinder 1, which is heated to about 300-400‹ C., by gas from a pipe 2. The material is fed forwards by helical blades 10 and the water is rapidly evaporated. In a modification, the silicate solution may be atomized and introduced into a heated zone. To obtain a product having a higher softening- point than that yielded by ordinary silicate, a silicate in which the ratio of soda to silica is 1Na2O to 3.8SiO2 is used.

Cores; core-making.- Cores for use in casting the arms of belt pulleys are moulded in apparatus comprising two plates at a fixed angle to each other, and two plates selected from a number of concentric arc-shaped plates arranged to be projected above and lowered to the level of the machine table. The straight plates are rigidly connected to a table 9, Figs. 1 and 4, carried by an hydraulic ram, and adjustable stops 21 carried by the plates limit the amount of projection. The curved plates 7 required are projected by standards 13, which are adjustable radially on the table and have tee heads which engage corresponding slots in the plates. A frame 35 is dropped into the core box to assist in forming the space for the metal of the arms, and plates 38 loosely connected to the standards 13 by bolts and slots and controlled by brackets 53 may project further plates 7 as shown in Fig. 4 to enable one frame 35 to cover a range of sizes. A top frame 34 is secured to the straight plates by projections and recesses engaged by an outwardly sliding movement controlled by a screw 49. Arcshaped portions 41 are detachably secured to the top frame. After ramming, the top frame is removed and the table 9 is lowered withdrawing the straight and curved plates.

Abstract: 12,620. Clark, H. C., and Goddard, J. W. May 30. Spray carburettors. - A suction - actuated cylindrical piston-valve controls air ports in the carburettor casing, and carries a cap which controls fuel from a series of orifices in a coaxial fuel-nozzle. The casing A is jacketed at A<2> and has air ports A<4> which are controlled by ports in the trunk J' of the piston J. The piston slides over a rod D<2> which may be rotated, to vary the proportion of air to fuel, by turning the ring D. The trunk J<1> supports, by means of ribs J<5>, a cap K which controls the fuel-orifices. These are formed by a series of perforated disks G, Fig. 5, in which a slot G<2> connects one or more of the holes G<1> with the outer edge of the disk. The plates are kept in position so .that no two adjacent orifices coincide by means of a'rod H, and fuel flows to the orifices through passages E<1> formed in the nozzle body. A bolt F clamps the disks together. Air is admitted to the cap K by a passage L and an annular groove J<6> communicating with the port A<4>. Mixture is controlled by the throttle B. Air, entering through a small hole in the casing, and fuel from orifices that are always uncovered, serve to keep the engine running slowly. Fuel is filtered by gauze or felt P<3> in the float-chamber, the arm Q of which engages a hollow stud R screwed into the base of the carburettor. The carburettor casing may be arranged other than vertically, in which case a spring is necessary to return the piston.
