Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 24,290. Mathews, J. E. Oct. 20. Field carriages; naval and garrison mountings.-Relates to mountings for high-angle firing, and particularly for guns used against aerial machines, and consists in pivoting the cradle on an horizontal trunnion mounted in a pedestal, which is rotatable for training about a vertical axis through the intersection of the axes of the gun bore and the trunnions, and is offset to permit the gun to be elevated, without training, from horizon to horizon. In the example shown, the gun A is mounted in the cradle B, which turns on a pivot B<1> in the pedestal D fixed on a base-plate D<5>, rotatable about the axis X, X for training by means of a hand-wheel E<2> actuating the stationary worm ring E through the bevel-gears E<3>. The gun may be elevated by the worm gearing B<2>, B<3>, B<4> through approximately 180 degrees. The wormwheel B<2> is made disconnectible from the gun, which may thus be readily brought to the horizontal position for loading. The gun may be fitted with sights F, F<1> of the prismatic type, having the eyepieces in line with the trunnion axis, and cross-connected so as to move in unison. Platforms D<4>, B<5> may be provided for the gunners operating the elevating and training apparatus. In a modification, two pedestals are provided, one on each side of the cradle.

Title: An Improved Process and Apparatus for Laying Fabrics in Folded Form.
Inventor: GMINDER EMIL
Filed: 1910-12-29
Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 30,232. Gminder, E. June 17, [Convention date]. Cuttling.-Fabrics are laid in folds by a device having a to-and-fro movement, the speed of delivery being greater than that of the to- and-fro movement, so that small transverse folds are formed in the large folds. The fabric may be folded on a flat surface, but the process is particularly adapted to the laying of fabric in drums in which it is subsequently treated with liquid. The drum a has an inlet c parallel to its axis, and through the inlet passes the feeding-device d, the lower end of which moves to and fro in the drum. It is driven in any suitable manner, and may oscillate about an axis f and raised and lowered during the movement so that its lower end moves in a straight path. The fabric is fed to the device d at a speed greater than that of the to-and-fro movement, and thus small folds h are made in the large folds g.
