Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 11,475. Perino, G. May 14. Machine guns. - Relates to safety sears for recoiling - barrel automatic guns, and consists in providing pivoted breech-locking- devices with a projection which engages with and releases the safety sear only when the breech is locked. A cartridge-feed mechanism is also described, but does not form part of the invention claimed. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a machine gun, parts of which are as described in Specification 21,743/00. The breech-bolt 3 is locked by lugs 20 on two members 19 pivoted on vertical pins in the breech-frame 2. The members 19 are rocked into and out of the locking position by a pin 23 on a lever 21, the forwardly-extending arm 45 of which engages inclines 46 in the casing 44. The safety-sear 14, shown in plan in Fig. 4. is pivoted at 15 to the breech-frame 2, and has a tooth 16 at its rear end adapted to engage a projection 17 on the firing-pin 7 during the forward closing movement of the breech-bolt. The firing-pin is thus retained in the cocked position. The front end 18<1> of the safety-sear has a part projecting downwards through a slot or opening in the breech-frame 2 and, when the breech-holt is unlocked, engaging a recess A in the boss B of the upper locking-member 19. The rotation to locking position of the members 19 causes the projection 18<1> to be pushed out of the recess A, and the firing-pin projection- 17 to be released. The cartridge-feed mechanism comprises a transversely-reciprocating member 24 with a double-toothed feed-pawl 28 adapted to engage recesses in the bottom of a " charger " 30. The cartridges are pushed directly from the " charger " into the breech, and the fired cases afterwards withdrawn into their original receptacles in the " charger."

Filed: 1912-10-11
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 23,273. Leitner, H. Oct. 11. Starting prime mover.-Variable-speed self= regulating dynamos, of the type in which a shunt field-magnet winding is employed in conjunction with subsidiary or broad brushes, are converted temporarily into series motors for the purpose of starting the internal-combustion engines &c., which, when started, drive them as dynamos. In one arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the shunt field-magnet winding is divided into sections c, c<1>, d, d<1>, which are connected in series through a starting-switch or controller C when the machine is to be used as a dynamo, but, when it is desired to start the engine, the sections are joined in parallel and are then placed in series with the armature brushes. Alternatively, or in addition to the above, the armature may be provided with two windings and two commutators which are placed in series when ,the machine is running as a shunt dynamo and in parallel when it is running as a series motor. The subsidiary brushes may be used as the main brushes for motoring purposes, the original main brushes being disconnected from the circuit. The starting-switch or controller may also insert and cut out starting-resistances, and may effect other alterations, as, for example, the connexion of two or more sets of batteries either in series or in parallel, the operation of an electro-magnetic or a mechanical clutch for introducing starting-gear, or means for locking the advance-spark lever. Such devices may be operated by a Bowden wire attached to the controller handle. Specifications 9655/05, 12,645/05, 12,945/05, 11,066/07, 3391/08, 17,847/09, 8219/10, and 1474/12, [all in Class 35, Dynamo-electric generators &c.], are referred to.

Abstract: 23,828. Basler, G. Nov. 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Boarding, staking, and the like.-To render a sole, insole, or the like flexible it is fed into a throat 13 between two endless belts 10, 11, which carry it to a moistening-device comprising a felt pad 22, which is kept saturated with water or other suitable fluid from a supply pipe 23 having a series of openings 24 progressively increasing in size from the inlet end of the pipe. After being pressed against the pad by the upper belt, the sole is carried between the two belts round rollers 28, 29 so that it is flexed both forwards and backwards. It then passes into a delivery throat similar to the inlet one. Adjustable blocks 40, 37, 41 are provided to vary the tension of the belts, and spring blocks 32, 45 maintain the tension practically during working.

Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 703. Easterfield, T. H. Jan. 19, ,1912, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Ammonium sulphate is obtained by allowing gas liquor or its distillate to react with calcium sulphate either by percolation or by agitation. In the former case, -the resulting ammoniumsulphate solution is returned to the gas-washing apparatus to be recharged with ammonia and carbonic acid, whereupon it is again treated with calcium sulphate, the process being repeated until a sufficiently strong solution is obtained. In either case, the ammoniumsulphate solution is heated to drive off volatile ammonium salts, which are re-carbonated and used again, and the solution, free from sulphuretted hydrogen, is evaporated. The process may be modified by carbonating; desulphurizing, or decyaniding the liquor before, during, or after the treatment with calcium sulphate.
