Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Controlling Gun Turrets and Mountings.
Inventor: PETCH ALBANY FRANCIS
Filed: 1908-11-25
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 25,406. Petch, A. F. Nov. 25. Mountings.-Consists in employing elevating-gear operated through the medium of an hydraulic or other variable-speed device in conjunction with means for automatically elevating the gun during the training movement inboard, so as to clear any part of the ship in the line of fire when the gun is depressed. The automatic control is also so arranged as not to interfere with the manual control from the elevating hand-wheel. The elevating- gear 7, 8, 10, 11, Fig. 1, is driven by an electric motor 1 through the medium of an hydraulic variable-speed device 4, 6 of the kind described in Specification No. 13,894, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Hydraulic machinery &c.], in which the transmitted speed is varied by tilting a box 16 about pivots 17, or through any other suitable variablespeed device. The speed may be manually controlled by rotating a shaft 19, through the medium of a hand-wheel 33 and bevel-gearing 32,31, 29, 28, so as to move a nut 18 mounted on the box 16. The automatic control is effected by a spring- controlled floating lever 40, which, when the gun is at a predetermined depression, bears at one end against a rail 44 and at the other end against a fixed rail 47 formed so as to move a rod 39 when the danger zone is reached. A pivoted lever 37, upon which the rod 39 operates, is connected to the shaft 19 by a nut 35 and screw-thread 34, and its position therefore always corresponds to the position of the box 16. The rod 39 therefore when the automatic control is operative, moves the shaft 19 against the action of a spring 27 so as to cause the gun to be elevated at maximum speed until the danger zone is passed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Multi-colour Photography.
Inventor: ROBERT KRAYN
IPC: G03C7/14
Filed: 1909-08-11
Abstract: 18,553. Krayn, R. Aug. 12, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Colour photography; screens.-A duplex tricolour screen is described for colour photography. One side of the support carries a viewing - screen in which the colours give the effect of a grey colour. The positive is produced on this screen. The other side of the support carries a compensating - screen, the elements of which register with the corresponding elements of the viewing - screen, and are coloured so that in combination with the similarly coloured elements of the viewing-screen they absorb the complementary colour, and the whole forms a taking-screen. The screens may be made according to the process described in the French Specification 386,147. The coating of greasy colours which covers those spots of a gelatine layer that are not to absorb any colour in a watery solution of a pigment, is formed as a congruent double print on a base preferably very thin and gelatined on both sides. The interspaces of the one coat are then coloured in the first ground colour as compensating- screen elements, and the congruent interspaces of the other coat of greasy colours in the same colour as viewing-elements. The further treatment takes place in an analogous manner. Alternatively, the screens may be made by first producing the compensating-screen on the back of the support and producing the viewing- screen on the other side by a bleaching process, exposing through the screen already made. The screen support may be a thin transparent material, such as celluloid, or alternatively of a white opaque material, such as paper, but sufficiently transparent to allow copying through the back. The viewing-screen with the picture thereon may be detached and transferred to another support.

Granted: 1912-02-14
Abstract: 3695. Best, P. Feb. 14. Regulating head of liquid directly; liquid supply, compensating for varying head of; cartridges, packages, &c. of materials; securing holders for solid to superimposed liquid chambers.-In an acetylene generator particularly adapted for use with miner's lamps, the liquid is fed from a superimposed chamber on the birdfountain principle, and a single cock is used for regulating the supply of water and gas, the cock being also adapted so that the water ducts are cleansed during the operation of filling the generator with water. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cock consists of a cone plug 6 controlling the supplies of gas to the burner and air to the water chamber, and a barrel 9 secured to the plug and carying an open-ended tube 12. A hole 37 in the sleeve communicates with a larger aperture 10 in the casing and allows air to pass into the water chamber. The water, which escapes on the entrance of air, passes into the passages between the parts 12, 13, 14, and enters the generating- chamber through the slot 15. Gas passes off through a felt pad 45 to a passage 16 in the cock casing, and at the top enters the cock plug 6 which carries the burner. On turning the plug, the air supply is first cut off, stopping the further generation of gas, and the gas duct is put in communication with the air duct 5 through a boring 31, giving a small flame at the burner for searching after methane, and, if the bore is sufficiently large, the lamp is extinguished. A small flame may be obtained by nearly shutting off the gas cock and allowing the excess gas to pass away through the passages 15, 12, 25, 30, 5. In a modified construction the lower cylindrical portion 9 is replaced by a cone plug 9, Fig. 5, and the gas supply is taken to the burner through a bore in this plug and a tube 18 in the cock. Any obstructions in the water passages are removed by moving the cock backwards and forwards. To fill the generator, the liquid chamber is removed, inverted, and the water supply nozzle placed against the end of the duct 5. The hood 14 is removed, and the finger placed over the exposed end of the tube 12, air escaping through the passage between the tubes 12, 13, and to give a free passage to the latter, a tube may,be fitted in this space, which is removed during the filling operation. Apertures 32 in the cock and corresponding openings in the casing should be placed in register during the filling operation. The carbide is contained in a cylindrical box over which is fitted a second box 43 provided with a central depression 44 to accommodate the water supply arrangements, and below which is fitted a felt pad for the distribution of the water. The carbide box is enclosed in a casing 23 which is pressed into an elastic ring 35 carried by the bottom 4. The lid is provided with a ring to which is screwed the framework of the lamp, which also serves to hold the ends of clamps 46 with hooked ends for securing the parts of the generator together.

Abstract: 12,815. Crabtree, W. A., and Crabtree, D. May 29. Guards, controlling.-In a fore-running guard device, for pressing or stamping machines, of the kind that prevents the machine from being started unless the guard is free to move to its full distance, the connexions between the foot lever and the guard mechanism are such that the foot lever can be freely moved to the full extent of its travel at all times. For this purpose the foot lever and the clutch-releasing member k, Fig. 1, are connected by two hooks g, h<1> which do not engage if the downward motion of the guard a is impeded. When the treadle is first depressed, a stop e on the treadle-rod d<1> is withdrawn from below one arm of a lever c, which is rocked about its pivot b by the action of a spring c<2>. An extension of the lever c carries the guard a, and, if the latter be free to move far enough, the lever c continues its motion until the hooks h', g are engaged; further depression of the treadle then starts the machine. In a modified construction, a finger g<2>, Fig. 8, replaces the hook g<1>, and forms the pivot of a floating lever h<3> connected to the treadle-rod d<1> and clutchreleasing member k. If the motion of the guard be stopped, the finger g<2> is not pushed far enough forward to engage the floating lever.
