Abstract: 11,695. Krupp, Akt.-Ges., F. July 18, 1908, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to semiautomatic guns, and consists in opening the breech by a helical spring accumulator, the sprmg of which is compressed during recoil, and closing it by a volute spring accumulator wound during the run - out. Figs. 6 and 7 are side elevations showing the gun A in the recoil and run-out positions respectively. Keyed to a shaft c', which is journaled in the breech, is an operating-lever C, C' which consists of a part C, having a sector-shaped extension F, and a part C', Fig, 2, engaging with a groove d<2> in the breechblock D. Loosely mounted on the shaft c<3> and united thereto through the medium of a volute spring H is a drum G, which is pivotally connected at g<1> to a cylinder L, containing a plunger N attached to a rod n'; this is pivoted to the guncradle B at b<1> so that, when the gun recoils, a helical spring accumulator M is stressed, Fig. 6. When the gun begins to run out, a spring-controlled catch l<2> engages with the end of a groove n' in the rod n<1>, and serves to keep the spring M stressed and the cylinder L stationary, so that the drum G is rotated to the position shown in Fig. 7, the spring H being thereby wound and held by a catch i<4>, which is mounted on the drum G, and which springs into a notch f<1> on the segment F. The catch l<2> is released by a projection g<4> on the drum G, the spring M is thereby unstressed, and the return of the drum G, which takes with it the lever C, C<1>, causes the breech to be opened. An extractor E, which is operated by a projection d<3> on the breech-block when this is lowered, is provided with a nose e<4> which engages with a recess d<4> in the breech-block, for the purpose of holding it in the open position until a new cartridge has been inserted, after which the breech-block is free to be raised by the spring accumulator H, the catch i<4> having previously been released by a stop K on the gun. The breech-block may be rendered free to rise, without previously loading the gun, by operating a handle e<2>.

Abstract: 3215. Turner, S. W. Feb. 9. Letter-spacing mechanism.-Relates to escapement mechanism particularly for use in machines for writing Turkish and Arabic. (1) For reversible spacing, in conjunction with two adjustable racks on opposite sides of the escapement pinion c, Figs. 1 and 10, the guide-pulley d<3> for the spring- drum cord d<2> is attachable alternatively on the carriage or on the main frame. The two racks a, b are pivoted and pressed towards the pinion c by springs a<7>, b<5>, and are adjusted by means of thumblevers a<3>. Pivoted detents a<6> hold the thumb-levers in position to maintain the corresponding rack inoperative. The thumb-lever for the rack a is provided with a pin a<5> engaging a curved arm a' on the rack. The thumb-lever for the rack b engages a rib on the rack. (2) For differential spacing in two values, the escapement comprises fast and loose ratchet-wheels e, f, Figs. 1 and 5, connected by a spring e<4>, a co-operating fast dog e' rocked by a universal bar h' and normally engaging the loose wheel f, and an auxiliary pivoted dog e<2> rocked by a second, universal bar j and serving to limit the advance of the loose wheel f to determine the smaller space movement of the fast wheel e. Some keylevers actuate the bar h' only, for the larger space, and the others actuate first the bar and then the bar h<2>, for the smaller space. The relative movement of the wheels e,f is determined by stops, for example a screw g<1> in the shaft g and a slot f<2> in the boss of the wheel f. When the fast dog e<1> moves from the wheel f to the wheel e, the wheel f advances under the action of the spring e<4>, either to the full extent determined by the rear edge f of the slot f<2>, or to a less extent determined by the pivoted dog e<2>. When the dog e<1> returns to the wheel f, the wheel e advances a corresponding extent to bring the stop g<1> up to the front edge of the slot f<2>.

Abstract: 4998. Jarmain, T. M., and Phillips, A. M. Feb. 28. Haymaking.-In machines in which tines are made to sweep over the surface of the ground crosswise of the machine and then to rise and pass back to make another sweep, a cam is provided to regulate the motion so that the tines make a long and approximately level sweep over the ground, and special means are provided for driving both sets of tines in either direction independently of one another. The tines a of each set are connected to levers b pivotally mounted in hollow cylinders n, which are rotatably mounted in a disk c loose on an inclined pin d. The levers are linked to slides f movable in radial grooves in a rotary disk g mounted on a pin h, which is eccentric and parallel to the pin d. Rollers on the slides f engage a fixed cam-groove which is shaped so as to cause the ends of the tines to move in a path parallel to the ground during their effective stroke. The disks c, g are coupled together by cranked rods. By the shaping of the cam-groove, the height to which the tines are raised after each sweep can be varied. The pins h of the two turners are carried by slide arms o adjustable along bars q, which project from brackets hinged on a vertical pin on the longitudinal centre-line of the machine. Bevelwheels g<1> on the disks g gear with bevel-wheels on shafts I projecting from the hinged brackets and carrying bevel-wheels which are adapted to be put into gear with either of two bevel-wheels F, G on a central shaft E driven from the axle by bevel-gearing. The two turners are independently thrown out of gear or thrown into gear so as to rotate in either direction by swing- ing the hinged brackets about their pivot-pin by means of levers and links. The front of the machine is adjustable vertically on the front wheel standard. Springs may be provided to control this movement, or may be applied to the lifting-cord.

Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 10,143. Michener, J. H. April 26. Collapsible and like framework for endlesschain conveyers; directing and adjustably supporting. - A telescopic conveyer comprises a main frame 2 and a telescoping member 3, which is positioned by attaching it to the conveyer chain by means of a clutch plate operated by a cam 37, and is maintained in any desired position by spring catches mounted on the outer end of the main frame. In positioning the apparatus for coaling a vessel from a barge or the like, the main frame is raised by pulley tackle 45 connecting an elevated point on the ship to a winding - drum on the shaft 51, the latter being driven by chain gearing from the first - motion shaft 17 of the motor for driving the conveyer. A bail and hook 49 are attached to an eye on the vessel to secure the frame in the raised position. After the A-shaped struts 66 have been fitted in position, the lower end of the conveyer is rotated about the shaft 51 by means of the rack- and-pinion gear on the lower struts 70, until the desired position is attained. The telescopic member is then released and allowed to descend into the barge under the control of the spring catches. By suitable clutch mechanism the winding-drum is disconnected from the motor, and the conveyer is set in motion. The material is broken up by toothed wheels before entering the conveyer, and is delivered through the exit 203 to a hopper or like receptacle. A plate 81 extending the whole width of the member 2 prevents clogging at the exit, while the effect of clogging at the entrance is to fix the telescoping member temporarily to the conveyer chains and thereby cause it to be retracted automatically. The conveyer chains are arranged in four parallel runs so that an equal tension is maintained therein for all relative positions of the main and telescopic members. Push-plates, construction of.-The conveyer blades preferably have their edges bent forward in the direction of their travel.
