Title: Improvements in Mooring Apparatus for Submarine Mines.
IPC: F42B22/16
Filed: 1913-02-24
Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 4710. HarlÚ et Cie. June 25, 1912, [Convention date]. Mines, marine.-Relates to automatic anchors provided with means for putting the lead line out of action to prevent the anchor drum from rotating when the mine is raised. According to the invention, the lead line is put again in action automatically when the buoy is replaced on its anchor. As shown, the stop pawl g connected to the lead f is caught by a hook m when the lead touches bottom, and this hook is automatically released by the inward displacement of a rod l, when, after the raising of the mine, the buoy is replaced on the anchor a. During mooring, an escapement o, o<1>, n, worked by a cam r on the shaft of the drum for the anchor cable, delays the coming into action of the hook m.

Abstract: 12,659. Penrose & Co., A. W., and Owen, M. May 22. Electric plant. - The starting rheostat and the brake mechanism of electric lifts or other electrically-driven machines are operated by a pair of levers a, b, co-operating with a crankpin d rocked by a solenoid s. The movable contacts 1, 2, 3 of the rheostat are carried on an arm of the lever b, and a weight w controlled by a dash-pot o tends to separate these contacts from fixed contacts 5, 6, 7. The brake-operating lever a is coupled by a link f and a lever p to the brake-block h, a spring j tending to keep the brake applied. During normal running, the parts are in the position shown, but, when the pin d is rocked through 180 degrees by turning the spindle k, the weight w first opens the rheostat switch, and the spring j then applies the brake. The spindle k is rotated by a solenoid s of the kind referred to in Specification 1335/11, which solenoid may also operate the controller barrel; or a separate solenoid may be used for this purpose.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Ammunition Hoisting Apparatus.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A9/21
Filed: 1914-06-09
Granted: 1915-06-09
Abstract: 13,947. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. June 9. Loading-appliances.-Relates to ammunitionhoisting apparatus of the kind in which the projectile and the powder charges are raised from the working chamber to the breech-end of the gun in a gun-loading cage, and consists in the provision of an auxiliary projectile cage, for use in the event of the gun-loading cage becoming inoperative, having a tray which, when the auxiliary cage is in its loading position in the working chamber, rests upon the projectile tray of the gun-loading cage, so that the latter tray serves as a guide for the projectile during transference from its waiting tray to the tray of the auxiliary cage. The tray of the auxiliary cage is pivoted or otherwise movably mounted so that it can be moved out of the path of the gun-loading cage when this is in operation. The auxiliary cage B is mounted on guide-rails B<x> and carries, pivoted at b, the projectile tray B', which, when in its horizontal or loading position, rests upon the rear portion of the tray A<1> of the gun-loading cage A, as shown in Fig. 1, being retained in this position by means of a suitable catch device, such as a spring bolt b<1>. The spring bolt b<1> also secures the tray when swung into the vertical position, as indicated in broken lines in Fig. 1. When employed with a gun adapted to be loaded at any angle of elevation, as in the form shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the upward movement of the auxiliary cage is limited by a stop C' on the gun-loading arm C, the upper portion of the guide-rails B<X> being concentric with the gun trunnions and so arranged that, when raised, the tray B<1> occupies the same position as that occupied by the tray A<1> when the cage A is in use. In this form, the cage B is arranged at one side of the vertical plane containing the axis of the gun. The guide-rails B<X> are situated one behind and one at the side of the cage, as shown in Fig. 4, and are of duplex form adapted to receive rollers b<X> arranged in pairs on the cage, the axes of the rollers of each pair being at right-angles to one another. A curved plate B<3> on the tray B<1> moves the usual hinged loading-tray b<3> into position in the breech chamber as the cage ascends. The auxiliary cage may be raised by ropes operated by an electrically-driven winch or an hydraulic press. In a modification applied to a gun adapted to be loaded at a fixed angle of elevation, the stop C' to limit the rise of the auxiliary cage is carried by the turret, and the guide-rails are so disposed that, when the cage reaches its highest position, its tray is in alinement with the gun at its loading angle. In this form, the guide-rails are arranged on each side of the cage and at equal distances from a vertical plane containing the axis of the gun.

Abstract: 15,296. Pooley & Son, H., and Dobson, J. June 26. Weigh-bridges.-A weigh-bridge is provided with means for preventing shock to the automatic indicating-mechanism when the load passes on or off the machine, and is provided also with means for increasing the capacity of the machine. The load coming upon the weighbridge is transmitted by a link e to a lever f, which picks up a constant weight g. A free movement m in a rod n prevents a shock from being transmitted to the indicating-mechanism. The rod n is connected to a weighted lever l carrying a pendulum weight k. The indicating- pointer h is rotated over a dial j by means of a flexible connexion p and a toothed sector p'. Stops o, o' limit the movements of the lever f. The weighing capacity of the machine may be increased by lowering one or more weights q on to a pan u suspended from the lever f. The weights are manipulated by means of a handlever t, notched quadrant t<2>, and a weightframe r, and the value of the weights deposited on the lever f is indicated on a dial v connected by chain and wheel gearing with the pivot of the hand-lever t.

Abstract: 17,944. Campbell, P., and Banks, W. J. July 29. Piston packing.-In piston packing of the type in which split rings are expanded by wedge blocks pressed apart by springs, undue expansion of the rings is prevented by plates, secured to the wedge blocks and extending into recesses in the rings. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to packing of the type described in Specifications 3946/13 and 24,215/13, in which split rings a, b with bevelled sides are expanded by intermediate wedges c pressed apart by springs d. The expansion is limited by plates e, secured to one of the wedges c, and extending into recesses in the rings a, b. Adjustment is effected by filing the plates e, or the edges of the recesses, or by adjusting the plates e on the wedges c, but the plates e are preferably dovetailed into the wedges c. In a modification, the splits in the rings a, b are arranged to break joint, and a pair of plates c on different wedges c is then employed for each ring.
