Abstract: 11,668. Puff, C. May 18. Projectiles ; projectile fuses.-Relates to combined shrapnel and common shell in which the filling is placed annularly around the axiallydisposed high-explosive charge, and the shrapnel charge is carried in the base. According to the present invention, the high-explosive chamber is rigidly connected to a fuse, so that its charge may be exploded after the expulsion of the shrapnel filling. In Fig. 1, the longitudinal high-explosive chamber b is shown as screwed into the body of the shell a from the rear. The time fuse j causes the explosion of the shrapnel charge d by means of the tube p, and is expelled from the shell with the filling f. The percussion or double fuse g remains ou the' chamber b, and subsequently causes the explosion of the common-shell charge d. In modifications, the central charge may be carried in several chambers, or the filling may be arranged centrally. The chamber d may also be enlarged in the rear to the full width of the body, the shrapnel charge being placed correspondingly forwards. The shrapnel charge may be composed of picric acid &c. in order that it may explode with the central charge when the whole projectile is used as a common shell ; and the filling may be partly embedded in such explosives. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the central charge is expelled with the filling, an additional high-explosive charge o<1> being provided in the base of the shell. A charge k is provided to shatter the time fuse in order that its setting may not betray the range to the enemy. The passage r is opened by the valve v when it is desired to explode the two forward charges simultaneously.

Patent GB-191007072-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Power Looms having Freely Falling Lays or Lathes, more particularly adapted for Weaving Wire Cloth.
Inventor: WINTERMAYR JOSEF
IPC: D03D41/00
Filed: 1909-03-22
Granted: 1910-05-23
Abstract: 7072. Wintermayr, J., and Lehmann, O. March 22, 1909. Beat-up motions.-In looms having freely falling lays and particularly adapted for weaving wire cloth, instead of braking the layactuating shaft when the loom is stopped as described in Specifications 9285/08 and 6847/09, the lay itself is braked or arrested, and for this purpose carries a shaft 93 provided with a finger 94 and a pawl 95. A curved guide 96 provided with a weight 99 is normally held raised by an energized solenoid 98, whereby the pawl 95 is held raised from a rack 34, over which it swings as the lay moves to and fro. When the loom stops, the electro-magnet 98 is de-energized, the guide 96 falls, and the pawl engages the rack 34, whereby the lay is arrested, the rack 34 sliding against the action of a spring. The rack may, as shown, be formed as the movable part of the shuttle stop-motion described in the above-mentioned Specifications, and be engaged by the pawl 32 connected to the feeler 31, thus causing the rack 34 to move forwards and break the solenoid circuit, whereupon the pawl 95 also engages with the rack 34 and the pawl does not alone have to bear the shock of stopping the lay. The arrangements are shown applied to a lay rocking on a knife-edge at its base, but by making the operative surfaces of the guide 96 and pawl 34 hollow-shaped, the device may be used for suspended lays. The working current from the main conductor R passes through the electro-magnetic coupling 1 of the driving-shaft, thence through a hand-switch A, and through the circuit-breakers 42 and 58, 90, 91 of the shuttle stop-motion B and the warp stop-motion D, respectively, to the return conductor R. The solenoid 98 is placed in a shunt circuit h, h<1> leading to a shunt contact a<1> of the switch A, so that, if the working current through the coupling 1 is broken at any of the switches A, B, D, the solenoid is de-energized and the lay at once braked. A switch 85 is used for breaking the solenoid circuit when required. The solenoid 54 of the warp stop-motion, which comprises also conductor bars 53, is placed in an auxiliary circuit n of low tension.

Abstract: 8241. Bates, B. W., and Southan, A. E. Nov. 12, 1909. [Cognate Application, 27,510/09.] Targets. - Relates to kinematograph targets of the kind in which the bullet holes are indicated by lights at the back of the screen, as described in Specification 24,329/09, and consists in the use of a double or multiple screen of cardboard, paper, or the like, the parts of the screen being relatively movable for the purpose of obliterating or closing the shot holes. In the arrangement shown in plan in Fig. 2, paper is unwound from a reel 1 and wound on a reel 2 and passes round guide rollers 3, 5. An independent .sheet 7. may be arranged to move vertically between the horizontally-moving parts 4 ofthe screen, but this sheet may be dispensed with. In a modification shown in elevation in Fig. 3, the supply and storage reels 11, 12 are mounted in slotted bearings and are pressed together by springs so that one reel rotates the other. Instead of using a single strip returned on itself, two separate strips may be drawn in opposite directions from feed reels, or two sheets of paper in frames may be moved angularly, or the strip may be returned on itself more than once. The paper is preferably opaque, or may be coated with an opaque paint to prevent any passage of light except through the bullet holes.

Abstract: 20,507. Lumley, F. I. Sept. 2. Mud-guards.-Relates to means for automatically lifting the side mud-guards of motor and other road vehicles when the wheels approach a kerb - stone in a lateral direction so that the guard or screen is not cut or torn off. A bar A attached to the axle or other part of the vehicle carries bars K, one before and one behind the wheel H. Bent levers G, one before and one behind the wheel, are fixed to a rod J pivoted in the bars K, and carry at their lower ends rollers D, and at their upper ends small grooved wheels F which, when the rollers D strike the kerb, are lifted upwards by the rotation of the levers G. The wheels F, in rising, lift a bar C pivoted at L and carrying the screen B, so that the screen clears the kerb-stone. Stop-joints I in the levers G allow the rollers to lift and travel over obstacles in the road. In modifications, the roller D may be replaced either by two rollers one placed vertically and the other horizontally, by a suitable shoe, or the end of the lever may be suitably bent. In further modifications, the levers G may work on pins independently of each other, or they may be pivoted inside the line of the vehicle wheels. The Provisional Specification also states that cords or chains may be attached to pieces projecting from the bar J and may pass over pulleys on the body of the vehicle and over the road wheel to the screen bar, so helping to lift the screen.
