Title: Improvements in or relating to Ejector Mechanism for Dropdown Small Arms.
Inventor: BAKER WILLIAM
IPC: F41A15/06
Filed: 1912-07-04
Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 15,605. Baker, W. July 4. Breech actions, drop-down barrel. - Relates to ejector-mechanism of the kind described in Specification 21,967/05 wherein each ejector spring is mounted in a carrier or lever which is raised to compress the spring during the opening of the gun. According to the present invention, the carrier effects a positive initial movement of the extractor through the medium of the kicker or ejector hammer. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the spring-carrier b is turned by the shoulder e on the actionbody when the gun is opened. During this turning movement, a lug m on the carrier engages the tail k of the ejector hammer and effects a positive movement of the extractor i. The hammer is then held by a pivoted sear o which, if the corresponding firing-hammer has fallen, is released by the projecting end of a sliding rod r. The invention is shown applied to an ' under-and-over ' gun.

Title: An Improved Safety Guard for the Wheels of Road and other Vehicles.
Inventor: LUTZ ANTON
IPC: B60R21/34
Filed: 1912-10-18
Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 23,852. Lutz, A. Oct. 18. [Cognate Application, 3556/13.] Wheel guards and obstruction - removers. Wheel guards A pivoted at the upper end are lowered to the ground and then locked by the contact of an obstacle direct or with a feeler bar W or rope Z. The casing is in two parts divided along the line D-D, and is pivoted at B to an upright E adjustable in height and fixed, in the case of the front wheels, to a part which moves with the wheels during steering movements, and in the case of rear wheels, to the axle, chassis, or body. A bow spring L fixed to the upright E carries two round-headed bolts I, with internal sliding pawls J for engagement with curved racks H. In the normal position of the guard, the bolts I engage depressions H' in the wheel guard. The feeler bars comprise arms R, pivoted at S, resting against pins U, and normally retained by ball catches T, the arms being connected by ball joints to a bar W with rollers; a rope Z is also stretched between the arms. For the rear wheel guards, the bar W and rope Z do not extend across the vehicle. Contact of an obstacle with the bar or rope tilts the guard until the roller G touches the ground, whereupon the pawl J locks the guard down. The arms R are free to rise when released from the spring catches T. The wheel guards used on motor-vehicles are connected by a guard P, which is jointed at the corners to as to alter its shape when the steering-wheels are moved. A vertical guard 0 is also jointed to the casings by joints M. For central-steered vehicles, the guards 0, P are replaced by L- shaped guards, each wheel case carrying a section, and the two sections interlocking in 'the centre of the vehicle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Cranes and other Hoisting Apparatus.
IPC: B66D1/08
Filed: 1912-11-15
Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 26,279. Variable Speed Gear, Ltd., and Robson, J. Nov. 15. Jib cranes. - Relates to cranes wherein one or more hydraulic motors are employed for effecting the various operations, the motors being worked from a pump which supplies pressure liquid to the motors at varying rates of flow. The pump and motor are preferably constituted by the pump and motor units of a variable hydraulic transmission gear. This may be of the kind having a cylinder barrel having a number of parallel cylinders for the reception of pistons provided with piston-rods pivotally connected to the pistons and to a plate carried by a tilting box, which in the case of a pump unit is displaceable to vary the direction and flow of the liquid. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to a floating crane driven by one propeller and having a fixed jib. The prime mover A' is coupled to the pump A, from the valve plate of which pipes a, a<1> lead to distributing-valves a<Î>, a<Î>, from which pipes b, b<1> and c, c<1> are led to the valve plates of the motor units B, C respectively. The valves a<Î>, a<Î> are similar and are connected together to occupy similar positions. In Fig. 2, the valve a<Î> is shown in position for supplying fluid to the motor C" for hoisting, and in Fig. 3 to the propelling-motor B. The drums C<1>, C<2> are driven from the motor through suitable gearing for hoisting light and heavy loads respectively, a clutch c<2> being operated to clutch in either drum. A double-acting relief and by-pass valve is fitted between the suction and delivery pipes of the pump. The control is effected by operating the tilting box of the pump and the valves a<Î>, a<Î>. In a modification shown in Fig. 4, the floating crane is fitted with two propellers. In this case, two pump units A are driven by one or more prime movers A<1>. Pipes lead from the pumps to propelling and hoisting motors B, C. Two hoisting-drums C<1>, C<2> are provided as before and are driven through reducing-gearing so arranged that one or both motors may operate the drum C<2> for heavy loads, while one motor may be clutched to the drum C<1> for light loads. Equalizing-pipes A<3> connect the distributing and suction pipes and are fitted with stop-cocks A<3Î>. In a further modification, the floating crane has one propeller and a movable jib. In this case, one motor drives the hoisting-drum at two speeds through a clutch and spur gear while the other motor drives the drum for operating the jib. In a still further modification, there are two propelling-motors and a movable jib, two drums onlv being used. Specification 23,369/12 is referred to.
