Patent GB-190500569-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Devices for Lubricating Wheel Hubs, and Axles, or Bosses Rotating on Shafts, and the like.
Inventor: JAUBERT ANTOINE
Filed: 1905-01-11
Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 569. Jaubert, A. Jan. 11. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Pulleys.-Bosses of pulleys, and any other device rotating on shafts, and the like are lubricated by the use of a ring resting on, or against, the shaft &c. and dipping into a bath or reservoir of lubricant. Applied to a belt tension roller, the ring d, Fig. 2, is suspended on the shaft c which passes through the two shells a, b screwed together. The interior of the roller is divided by radial ribs into chambers which communicate through inclined channels f with the circular recesses e at the ends of the rollers. By this arrangement, the lubricant which escapes from the bearing collects in the recesses e, from which it is returned to the inside chambers through the channels f. In the case of the boss of a loose pulley, Fig. 4, a sleeve m is forced into the hub or boss to surround the shaft c', and is provided at one end with an enlargement in which a ring d<2> is suspended on the shaft. The oil reservoir m is closed by a screw-plug p which has inclined channels leading to a recess e<2> in the plug. The plug is closed by a removable cover k<2>. A groove e<3> at the other end of the sleeve m communicates with the oil chamber through a duct f<3> and tube n. In a simpler modification, where the ring can be placed on the shaft in the centre of the bore of hub or boss, the bush is placed on both sides of the ring which rotates in a central cavity. This cavity communicates with recesses at the outer end of the bushes through inclined channels. The ends of the hubs may be covered. In another modification, an elastic ring is placed between the shaft and inner surface of the reservoir so that the ring rotates by frictional contact. The Specification states that, for low speeds, the ring should be arranged to touch the shaft and the lower part of the cavity so that the ring shall slowly rotate in the lubricant. Where the speed is very slow, the oil cavity may be bored eccentrically, or the periphery may be provided with small bosses. For higher speeds, the ring should be suspended on the shaft, while for very high speeds the ring is carried round by the lubricant at the same speed as the boss and has a planetary movement round the shaft. This may be ensured by knurling the inner periphery of the ring and the corresponding part of the shaft. The oil reservoir may be a removable shell adapted to fit the hub or boss.

Filed: 1905-02-27
Granted: 1905-10-05
Abstract: 4101. Schouboe, J. T. S. Feb. 27. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breech-block.-In a trigger mechanism for automatic guns with recoiling breech - block, an upright arm 8, pivoted to the forward end of the trigger 7, passes through a slot in the sear 9, pivoted at 21, and is notched at 20 to engage the upper edge of the slot. The hammer 1 actuated by a spring 6 rocks on a pivot 26, and is provided with a rib 27 on its boss terminating in a bent 28 engaged by the tooth 23 on the' sear. A stop 15, when in the position shown in Fig. 1, limits the motion of the trigger and only permits the firing of single shots, the hammer 1 being cocked after each shot by the recoil of the breech-block 4. With the stop in the position shown in Fig. 5, the gun is discharged automatically. For this purpose, a block 10 is arranged to slide on the sear 9, its position being controlled by an arm 17 on the trigger. When the trigger is held in its extreme rearward position, as shown in Fig. 5, the block is moved into a forward position, in which it is engaged, and the sear 9 is depressed, by the projection 29 on the boss 11 of the recoil lever 2 on each counterrecoil of the breech-block. The projection 29, as the breech-block recoils after the first discharge, engages the arm 8 and releases the notch 20 from the sear.

Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 8405. Fisher, H. J. April 19. Hulls.-The buoyancy and resistance to heeling of vessels are increased by providing the hulls a with a series of longitudinal flanges c, joining one another in curves d. The ends of the recesses so formed are closed by plates e at an angle, and intermediate plates f are fitted, hinged if required, to serve for stopping way. The recesses when submerged enclose a volume of air, which becomes compressed and thus increases the buoyancy. In modifications, the above-described construction is applied to rafts and to submarine vessels. In the latter case, the air chambers are formed upon a lateral extension above the vessels. Each channel may also be reduced at its entrance by smaller U- shaped channels forming small side channels.
