Granted: 1906-09-06
Abstract: 22,131. Danner, H. Oct. 30. Breech actions, sliding breech - block; magazines. -The gun, shown in Fig. 1, with its parts in position for firing, is operated by successive pulls on the arms 4, 5, 6, 7 of a four-armed lever 3, the breech - block 35 being actuated by a pin-andslot guided arm 16 engaging by a pin 24 with a hook 36 pivoted to the rear of the breech-block, and the springless striker 37 being actuated by an arm similar to the arm 16 engaging a fork 38 at the rear end of the striker. The arms which actuate the breech-block and striker are moved by the action of one of the arms of the lever 3 engaging with a system of pivoted levers. The rearward movement of the pin 24 towards its engagement with the hook 36 leaves the pivoted lever 26 free to be moved back by the helical spring 28 acting on the sliding rod 27 connected to the lower end of the lever 26 by a lever 30. The vertically-sliding locking-block 33, having a central wedge-shaped aperture to receive the wedgeshaped head 31 of the breech-block, is drawn down by the lever 34 connected to the rod 27. The magazine consists of a casing 75 containing a rotary feed-chamber 50, actuated by a spring 52 and controlled by a pawl 48, which is disengaged from the ratchet 49 by means of the ejector 47 so as to allow the chamber 50 to rotate. The magazinefeed may be cut off by means of a slide, which is moved into a position to block the movement of the ejector 47. In order to permit of a charged cartridge being removed, there is provided a pivoted lever, which may be turned so as to interpose a tooth between the rear part 72 of the breeck-block, and the nut 73 on the firing-pin and thus prevent the firing-pin from reaching the cartridge.

Patent GB-190701931-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Automobile Torpedoes.
Filed: 1907-01-25
Granted: 1908-01-25
Abstract: 1931. Whitehead Torpedo Works (Weymouth), Ltd., and Dodd, F. W. Jan. 25. Torpedoes.-Relates to the depth-keeping devices described in Specifications Nos. 4587 and 15,903, A.D. 1906. A cylinder B containing a piston A is in communication on one side with the water by ducts B', and on the other side with an air chamber E by a duct E'. The piston A actuates the slide D' of a servo-motor D, and is controlled by an inclined weighted pivoted rod C. The back lag, which the rod would receive when the torpedo is started, is prevented by a spring-pressed plunger G, which is forced out by the air pressure until this pressure has fallen by a predetermined amount. The position of the nut G<5> determines the offset of the bolt G<4> and the compression of the spring which is usually adapted to act for two-thirds the full working pressure, so that the device may act even when the reservoir is not fully charged. Excess motion of the plunger is absorbed by a friction arrangement G<6>, formed by splitting the socket in the rear part of the bolt G' and applying a nipping-collar. To regulate the depth at which the torpedo is to run, the weight C may be varied, or springs may be arranged in connexion therewith and their tension regulated from outside the torpedo by means of a screwed spindle ; an indicator wheel may be geared to the spindle.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Grinding and Polishing Glass.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1907-04-26
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 9739. Imray, O., [Pressed Prism Plate Glass Co.]. April 26. Surfacing and polishing.-Relate to machines for grinding and polishing plate glass, in which travelling bridges are used. In order to bring the bridges from one track to another, the wheels 16, Fig. 3, by which the bridge 15 is run on the table-track 17, are mounted on rotary stems, and turned by separate turntables 46, Fig. 9, to bring them into position for carrying the bridge along the track 47 to any required table-track 17. The wheels 16, Fig. 3, may be rotated by spur and bevel gearing from hand-wheels 25 on shafts 24 extending across the bridge. The spindles 38, Fig. 1, carrying the grinding or polishing disks 39 are mounted on a reciprocating carriage 26 and are adjusted by means of levers 40, screw shafts 41, and handwheels. The carriage is hung by means of wheels 27 on tracks 28 on the bridge, and is reciprocated by a pitman 29 from a crank on a shaft 31, driven by toothed gearing from a belt pulley 35. The carriage is guided, during reciprocation, by side rollers 36, Fig. 3, which are mounted eccentrically on shafts 36<1>, so that the face of the grinder may be brought parallel with the table. The polishing-blocks are provided with notches, 52, Fig. 8, and are shaped to receive the corner portions 53 of felt, a ring 54, Fig. 7, holding the felt in position. The block is also provided with a disk bearing, running in a box 51, and also with a ball-and-socket joint 50 by which it is connected to the stem 49 attached to the polishing- disk 39. To prevent the fracture of the glass by unequal heating, and also to raise the glass to a temperature at which it will polish properly, the tables 2, Fig. 1, are made hollow, and heated by steam or hot water entering through a stuffing-box 53 and leaving through a stuffing-box 51. The spindle 3, carrying the table, is mounted in a step bearing and in a bearing in the stationary frame 6, and is supported by a weighted lever 9, so that the table may yield slightly as the grinders move over raised and depressed portions of the glass. The tables may be arranged in two or more series, and each bridge can thus be used successively for a series of tables without shifting it to another track for each table.
Patent GB-190714035-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Variable-speed Gearing.
Inventor: RADCLIFFE CARLTON ROGERS
Filed: 1907-06-18
Granted: 1908-04-16
Abstract: 14,035. Radcliffe, C. R. June 18. Variable-speed gearing.-In epicyclic changespeed and reversing gearing suitable for motorvehicles, different trains are brought into action by sliding a sun element axially, and frictional retarding-means are provided to facilitate changing speed. Upon a square &c. driving-shaft 1 slides a member 2 carrying rings of gear teeth 3 and clutch teeth 4. The driven member 11 is keyed to a sleeve 8 secured to a sun-wheel 9 and to a ring of teeth 10 adapted to engage the ring 4 as shown in Fig. 2. A loose sleeve 5 has an internal ring of clutch teeth 7 and an external ring of teeth 6 adapted to gear with planet-pinions 14 rotating upon spindles 13 carried by a revoluble casing 12. Planet elements 16, 15 rigid with the pinion 14 are adapted to mesh respectively with the wheel 9 and with the ring 3. In the configuration shown, the gear rotates solid for the highest speed. For the second speed, the member 2 is slid to the right until the ring 4 clears the ring 10 without disengaging the ring 3, and the casing 12 is held by a brake 17. Further movement of the member 2 separates the ring 3 from the ring 7 and gives a free engine. The slow forward and reverse drives are obtained by sliding the member 2 farther to the right until the ring 3 gears with the wheel 15, and by holding against rotation respectively the casing 12 and a drum 18 upon the sleeve 5. A collar 20 attached to the shaft 1 by pins 21 passing through slots in the member 2 is adapted to engage frictionally a bushing 5<a> secured to the sleeve 5. The boss of the drum 18 is adapted similarly to engage the boss of the casing 12. When the speed is to be changed, the shaft 1 is thrust to the right, disengaging the engine clutch 24 and connecting the parts 1, 5, 12 frictionally so that the gear tends to rotate solid, enabling the meshing parts to be readily recombined.
