Title: Improvements in Means for Closing and Locking Port Holes and the like.
Inventor: GILBERT WALTER VILLA
IPC: B63B19/00
Filed: 1913-06-21
Granted: 1914-06-04
Abstract: 14,402. Gilbert, W. V. June 21. [Cognate Application, 16,895/13.] Cabin and deck lights. -Comprises means for simultaneously operating and locking a number of portholes of the kind described in Specifications 9656/11 and 22,218/11, from a distant point, in such a manner that when the controlling-rod is in its neutral position any porthole may be independently opened or closed, and upon movement of the controlling- rod all the portholes open will be closed without acting on any already closed. The portholes are further provided with means for holding them yieldingly open in different positions, such arrangements enabling warning to be given to any person having his head through the opening at the time of simultaneously closing the portholes. Lost-motion due to wear is taken up by washers on the hinge pins when the operating-gear is of the kind described in Specification 8022/13. The porthole a, Fig. 1, is shown fitted with such operating-gear, the washers b<2> being shown in position on the hinge pin b'. Simultaneous operation of a number of portholes is effected by means of a controlling-rod m arranged parallel to the plane in which the hand-lever d moves. An auxiliary link k engages at one end with the rod m and at the other end k<1> with a bellcranked extension d<x> of the hand-lever d. The connexion of the link k with the rod m is by means of a slide k<3> engaging an adjustable stop m<1> on the rod m, allowing the light to be opened by hand when the rod is in the position shown in Fig. 3. To close all the portholes, the rod m is moved so as to bring the stops m<1> into contact with the slides k<3> and then the further movement of the rod m will effect the closure, the last part of the movement turning the locking rings c to lock the portholes. No light can be opened until the rod m is returned to the neutral position. If the rod m is not parallel to the plane of the porthole, the joint k' of the link k with the lever d<x> is made multi-axial, as shown at k<10>, k<11>, k<12>, Fig. 10. To hold the portholes yieldingly in any position, the slide k<3> may be provided with a braking-device comprising a block k<4> regulated by the screw k<6>. With the handle k<8> in the full position shown the pressure on the rod m is sufficient to prevent the light from closing when the ship rolls, and with the handle in the dotted position the friction is increased to hold the light more firmly in different open positions. The auxiliary link k may be of a compressible, collapsible, flexible, or telescopic nature so as to dispense with the slide k<3>.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Submarine Mines.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
IPC: F42C14/04
Filed: 1914-03-14
Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 6545. Schneider, E. March 14. Mines, marine.-Relates to the firing-mechanism of submarine mines of the kind in which the mine is fired by the relative displacement of a heavy body when a vessel contacts with the mine, and consists in mounting the locking- members for the movable element of the firing- mechanism upon a heavy body which is rotatably displaceable about its geometrical axis. Preferably, the geometrical axes of the heavy body, firing-device, and the mine casing are coincident. Upon impact, the heavy body remains stationary owing to its inertia, and the relative angular motion of the mine casing fires the mine. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the heavy body c is mounted as a fly-wheel upon the shaft C and carries two hooks c<3> which engage lugs d carried by the body D of the striker. The striker has two pins d<3> as shown in Fig. 1<a>, and a feather d<2> ensures the rotation of the body D with the mine. The spring d<1> forces the striker upon the percussion caps c when the lugs d clear the hooks c<3>. The flywheel is retained in the safe position by plungers f which are withdrawn when blocks f<3> of salt have dissolved. In a modification, the fly-wheel c is mounted upon a part b<2> secured to the tube b<1>, which is carried by stays b from the casing B. The hooks c<3> carried by the fly-wheel engage lugs d carried by a rod K which is feathered at d<2> to the part b<3> mounted on the casing B. The rod K is attached, by a shackle L, to the anchor cable, and supports pivoted jaws k which engage in known manner the rod d<5> of the firing-pin d<3>. Rotation of the casing B frees the lugs d from the hooks c<3>, and the casing then rises owing to its buoyancy, thus withdrawing the jaws k and rod d<5>, compressing the spring d<1>, and freeing the striker d<3> when the jaws k are clear of the part b<2>. The flywheel is held in the safe position by plungers f as described with reference to Fig. 1.
