Title: Improvements in Sighting Apparatus for Ordnance.
Filed: 1908-12-12
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 27,004. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. March 10, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Sights and methods of sighting.- Com p rise e s means for automatically applying the drift correction as the gun is elevated. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of the gun and sight, and Fig. 3 shows a rear view of the sight alone in on e modification. Connected to the trunnion b<1> by links F, b<2>, is a forked-shaped member D, which carries pins e<2> serving to support a drum E, and which is itself carried in a bearing d' on an arm c<1> fixed to the carriage C. The sighting-telescope K is carried on an axis i', attached to the drum E, by a forked arm J and can be moved thereon by worm gearing M, e<4>. The drum E has a spherical surface e', in which is formed a special cam-slot e<3>, which engages with a pin h', adjustable to the vertical position by means of a level h<3> and guides G, H arranged at rightangles to one another on the arm c<1>. The gun is laid by first bringing the pin h<1> vertical, then inclining the sight alone by the gearing M, e<4> and the acale e<5>, and afterwards elevating the gun, thus moving the members D, E and bringing the sight on the target, and at the same time inclining the sight for drift by the cam-drive h<1>, e<3>. A modification is shown in Fig. 5 in which an independent line of sight is obtained. The worm gearing M, e<4>, is dispensed with, and the member J is prolonged so as to form a jaw i<3> embracing the pin h<1>, Fig. 7. The sight in this case is first brought on the target by aid of the worm gearing G, and then the gun is elevated for range, the sight during this operation being prevented from moving by the pin h'. The level N in this modification embraces the pin h' and has a pin n' engaging with a slot i<4> in the jaw i<3>. The method of constructing the cam curve e<3> is described.

Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 21,603. Hacking, W. H. March 22. Cuttling.-To regulate the upward pressure on the table of a plaiting-machine to suit different cloths, adjustable weights are used in conjunction with a brake drum, instead of the spiral springs described in Specification 20,323/08. Means are also provided for lowering the table when required. The adjustable weights 1 are hung over the quadrants, and are just sufficient to raise the table 7, the additional resistance required being given by a brake band 10 passing round a flanged brake pulley 8 fixed near the end of the quadrant shaft 9. One end of the band is adjustably fastened by a screw and nut to the fixed bracket 11 ; the other end is attached to the short arm of a bell-crank lever 13, the long arm of which can be raised on to an adjustable projection on the frame. The amount of brake power applied is regulated by adjusting the height of the projection. To lower the table when required, a lever 17 is loosely mounted on the shaft 9 and carries a catch 18 for engaging teeth formed on one flange of the brake drum. The catch is normally held out of engagement by a pin 19 engaging its heel. When the long arm of the lever is raised, the catch engages the teeth and then turns the wheel to lower the table.

Filed: 1909-12-18
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 29,673. Pudan, H. W. Dec. 18. Date and time printing. - In an autograph timerecorder, a strip of paper moves over projecting time and date dies arranged in a support E, so that, when a sliding carriage M, carrying the printing-roller O and the inking-roller P, is moved over the support E, the dies are stamped upon the paper. The paper from the roll D is wound on a drum F, which is prevented from rotating in a reverse direction by a pawl H. The pawl H is attached to the lid of the casing so that, when the lid is raised, the drum F is released to allow the paper to be withdrawn. The clock, which has a face at the side, actuates dies which print the hour and minute, the letters " a.m." or " p.m." and the date, as shown in Fig. 4. The carriage M moves in guides and is pushed back against springs N to expose the paper strip to receive a signature, the time and date being thus printed. As the carriage is returned, the time is again printed. An opening Q enables the operator to see if there is a clear space for him to sign. For marking the month, day, and year corresponding parts of the roller O, which is made up of disks or sections, may be adjusted.

Inventor: COCKERILL THOMAS
IPC: B29B13/06
Filed: 1910-01-06
Granted: 1911-01-06
Abstract: 341. Cockerill, T. Jan. 6. Drying materials in long lengths. - Sheet rubber, prepared for example as described in Specification 21,441/08, [Class 70, Indiarubber &c.], or other material is passed continuously with alternating periods of movement and rest through a heated vacuum chamber; the rubber may afterwards be passed through a like chamber wherein smoke is drawn through it. The apparatus shown comprises a pair of closed drums within which are perforated rotary drums B, B', through which the air or smoke is drawn by an exhausting-device. The material H, which may be supported by an endless belt, passes through valves C, J to the first or drying chamber, through valves J<1>, K to the second or smoking chamber, and finally out through valves K<1>, L. Between each pair of valves is arranged a chamber, within which a jockey roller tends to weigh the material down into a loop. The valves comprise rods D, to which bars E are spring-connected so as to be pressed down on the rubber resting on sills, and are connected in pairs so that one valve of each pair is closed while the other is open. The valves J, J<1>, and also the valves K, K<1>, are connected to move similarly. While the valves J, J<1> are closed, the material passing round the drum B is submitted to the heat of the jacket and to a vacuum; and at the same time another portion is accumulated in a fold in the chamber N. When the valve C is closed and the valves J, J<1> opened, the drum B is rotated so that the material in the chamber N is passed into the drying-chamber, and the dried material passed on into an intermediate chamber, whence, on the opening of the valves K, K<1>, it passes into the second cylindrical chamber, wherein it is submitted to smoke passed through it from a pipe W. A single cylindrical chamber may be used for drying or smoking, or for both processes. Stationary gratings may replace the rotary perforated drums.
