Title: Improvements in Time Beating Watches.
Inventor: MELOCCO HUGO
IPC: G04B13/00
Filed: 1911-04-03
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 8321. Melocco, H. April 3. [Addition to 5037/11.] Watches combined with metronomes.-Relates to a watch combined with a time-beating device. According to the present invention, a common driving-member for the beating-mechanism is provided, which can be brought into engagement with any of the wheels with different numbers of teeth driven by the watch mechanism. The driving-member consists of a pawl 10 fixed to a sleeve 11, Fig. 3, which may be moved up or down an arbor 15 by means of a lever 22, so that the pawl engages with any one of the set of wheels 13 on the arbor 9 of the seconds wheel. One end of the lever 22 which determines the position of the sleeve rests on a stepped wheel 26, which is set to the required position by means of a ratchet-wheel 27 and a pawl 30. In the arrangement illustrated, the time-beating is indicated visibly by means of a two-armed member 1, preferably luminous in the dark, which is mounted on a spring-controlled arbor 2. An arm 5 carried by this arbor lies in the path of a striker 8 fixed to the arbor 15. The striker has a projection 16, Fig. 3, engaging in a fork 12 on the sleeve 11, so that when the pawl 10 is in contact with the teeth of one of the rotating wheels 13, the oscillations of the pawl are communicated to the striker, and thereby to the indicator 1. A spring 20 acting on a pin 18 attached to the arbor 15 tends to throw the pawl against the wheels 13, but its action may be prevented by a lever 21, controlled by a ratchet-wheel 36 and pawl 37. The same wheel 36, in conjunction with a lever 40, provides means for preventing the sleeve 11 from being shifted along the arbor 15 while the pawl 10 is in action. In a modification, the rate of time-beating is indicated both visibly and audibly. In this case, the arbor 15 is extended to carry a hand having a disk which oscillates behind an aperture, and the member 8 strikes a bell or the like.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Projectile Fuses.
Inventor: HOUGHTON JAMES
IPC: F42C11/04
Filed: 1912-01-13
Granted: 1913-01-13
Abstract: 1089. Houghton, J., and White, J. Esmonde-. Jan. 13. Projectile fuses.-Relates to electrically-operated time and percussion fuses, and consists in combining with a circuit containing an electric generator and a detonator, electric firing- contacts adapted to be closed after a set time by a mechanical or electro-mechanical device, a second impact-closed circuit from the generator to the detonator being also preferably provided. In the form shown in longitudinal section in Fig. 1, and in cross-section in Fig. 3, the generator employed is a dynamo, the magnet system B of which rotates with the projectile, while the armature is prevented from rotating by an eccentric mass D on its shaft, and an eccentric mass in its core. This rotation of the armature shaft relatively to the magnets B is adapted, through worm gearing G<1>, G<2>, G<3>, G<4> carried by the magnets B, to rotate a wheel G<5> carrying an arm J, in order to bring this arm into contact with a second arm J<1> and close the circuit E<2> E<3> E<4> including the generator and a detonator F. The worm gearing is quadruplicated for balancing purposes, as shown in Fig. 3. The time that elapses before this con. tact is made may be adjusted to any predetermined value by rotating the pin K on which the arm J<1> is fixed, the necessary amount of rotation being indicated by a scale on the plate K<1>. A nipple on the plate K<1> is adapted to drive the pin K inwardly when the projectile strikes a target, and complete the detonator circuit through the arm J and a contact disk J<2> integral with the contact arm J<1> The action of the eccentric masses on the armature may be supplemented by a fan actuated by air entering the fuse during the flight of the projectile, or the armature may be driven solely by the action of such a fan. In a modification, the dynamo is replaced by a motor of similar construction, driven by a battery, the battery-motor circuit being closed at the moment of firing by a wellknown device. The motor armature is compelled to rotate with its field, while the motion of the projectile is being accelerated, by a ratchet device on its shaft, as the projectile leaves the muzzle of the gun, the battery imparts an additional rotation to the armature and sets in motion the contact J. In a further modification, the timing-contacts are operated by a step-by-step mechanism, driven through ratchet gearing, the pawl of which is reciprocated by the vibrating armature of an electromagnet actuated by the generator. Condensers, sparking-coils, or similar devices may be employed with the generator to produce the requisite heating or sparking effect at the detonator,
