Title: Improvements in Mountings for Guns adapted to be Fired at High Elevations.
IPC: F41A25/14
Filed: 1911-02-13
Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 3610. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. April 30, 1910, [Convention clate]. Field carriages.-Relates to elevating-gear for high-angle fire guns of the kind in which the gun and cradle are disconnected from the ordinary elevating-gear when the gun is to be swung from the firing position into the loading position. The invention consists in the provision of a spring which tends to reconnect the gun and cradle with the elevating-gear; the spring is locked during the loading, but is automatically released by the closing of the breech. Fig. 1 shows the mechanism applied to a gun carriage similar, as to some of its features, to that described in Specification 19,133/08. The cradle 1 is normally connected to the elevating-are 7 by a catch 11 controlled by a spring 12, and a spring 22 is stretched between a pin 21 on the carriage 5 and a pin 23 on the cradle. When the catch 11 is withdrawn by the links 15, 17, connected to a handle on the remote side of the cradle, the gun may be swung from the firing into the loading position independently of the elevating-gear 7, 9, and the spring 22 is stressed. The gun is retained in the loading position by a pawl 30 on a bent lever 28 pivoted at 29 to the cradle. The pawl is pressed into engagement with one of the notches 31 in the arc 7 by a spring 25 which acts upon a plunger 26 connected to the lever 28. The plunger 26 is depressed, to release the pawl 30, bv the breech-block 27 when the breech is closed, and the gun is then returned to the firing position by the spring 22. The spring may be arranged between the cradle and the arc 7, in which case it is stressed only when the gun is swung into the loading position. Means are also described for stressing the spring 22 at all elevations of the gun, when the trunnions are behind the centre of gravity of the gun and cradle, by the amount necessary to overcome the muzzle-preponderance.

Title: Improved Valve Gear for Direct-acting Steam Engines, Steam Pumps and similar Apparatus.
Inventor: DIKKERS GERHARD JOAN OTTO DORI
Filed: 1911-03-20
Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 6967. Dikkers, G. J. O. D. March 20. Fluid-actuated gears; slide valves. - In a fluid-actuated valve gear for a direct-acting steam-engine or steam-pump the distributing - valve is in two parts, in order that the exhaust may be opened to one end of the cylinder before the admission takes place to the other end of the cylinder. The inner valve 1, Fig. 1, is secured to the actuating pistons 2, 3, and is surrounded by a sleeve valve 11 which is free to move between the bosses 12, 37 of the pistons 3, 2. In the position shown steam is passing to the right-hand end of the main cylinder through the space 20 and the passages 22, 23, and also past the end of the sleeve 11 and through a groove 8 and passages 6, 4 in the valve 1 to the cylinder 40, from which it can pass to the main cylinder by passages 24, 25. The valve is about to be reversed by steam supplied through a passage 34, a check valve 35, and passages 36, 33, 32, to the cylinder 41. This steam balances the steam in the cylinder 40 and enables the steam in the space 21 to move the valve to the right. The supply of steam to the right-hand end of the main cylinder is then cut off as the valves enter the space 20. Further movement of the valves uncovers a passage 18 to the left-hand steam passage 19, and enables steam to pass through the groove 10 and passages 7, 5, to the cylinder 41. A groove 12 in the left-hand end of the sleeve 11 is then exposed to steam, which moves the valve 11 in advance of the valve 1, and opens the passage 39 to exhaust through the ports 16. At the completion of the movement of the valves, steam passes to the left-hand end of the main cylinder round the neck of the piston 3, the space 30, and the passages 31, 27. The valve is moved to the left in a similar manner.

IPC: F41A33/00
Filed: 1911-06-17
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 14,414. Blood, W. H. June 17. Teaching rifle practice.-Relates to sub-target apparatus in which a rifle is supported in a carrier, capable of universal movement, and provided with means for imparting to a needle movements corresponding to those of the rifle during aiming, and consists in combining with these means a device for advancing the needle to pierce the target card. In the form shown, the rifle h, Fig. 1, rests in a bed g<1> capable of turning on the axes e<1>, f<1> which are mounted on an extension e of a carrier D, shown in rear elevation in Fig. 4, adapted to move along the bar b<2>. Rollers d' facilitate the motion of the carrier, and a screw d<3> serves to clamp it in any desired position. Movements corresponding to those of the rifle in aiming are transmitted by the lever i, Fig. 4, to a tube j universally jointed at l<2> to a part l of the frame fixed relatively to the bar b<2>. The tube encloses a needle k, which is normally held out of contact with the target-card n by a spring. The needle reproduces the motion of the gun barrel, and is caused to advance and pierce the card n, on pulling the trigger h<1>, by the engagement of the trigger with one end of a lever m, pivoted to the bed g<1>, the other end of which presses on the rear end of the needle k. The rear end of the bed g' may be lowered when it is necessary to elevate the rifle for range, by rotating the screw i<1>, Fig. 4, and thereby drawing together the lugs i<2> of the separate parts of the lever i. The apparatus is mounted on a framework B pivoted to a second framework A, itself pivoted in fixed bearings c<1>. Counterweights a<3>, b<3> are provided to balance the weights of the frames and fittings, and one side bar of each framework has a screw-union a<4> or b<4>, which, by enabling the length of the bar to be altered, permits the top-bar a<2> or b<2> to be directed on the target, the adjustment being facilitated by sights a<5> or b<5>.

Title: Automatic Sluice or Flood Gate.
Inventor: DAVEN HENRY
IPC: E02B7/20
Filed: 1911-09-27
Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 21,326. Davey, H. Sept. 27. Sluice gates.-Floating sluice gates are made more sensitive to changes of level by making them hollow and allowing water to enter and leave. The gate c, Figs. 1 and 2, is guided vertically by the guide-wheels d, and cog-wheels e engaging in racks x. There are two cog-wheel e connected by an horizontal shaft, so that the gate is prevented from tilting when moving vertically. A small hole h admits water a into the gate, while the valve i communicates with the tail race. The valve is operated by a float k, loosely sliding in a cylinder n. When the head water rises to the pipe o, water flows into the cylinder n, depresses the float k, and thus lifts the valve i, allowing water to escape from the gate c and the gate to rise. When the head water level falls, water leaks out of the cylinder n, and the valve closes by being counterweighted.
