Definitions

  • the disappearing carriage whichforms the subject of the present invention comprises in all and for all a single pivot carried by jfixed bearings, the mass to be made to disappear being however as small as possible.
  • This result is essentially obtained by dividing the lower carriage or frame into two superposed elements, the upper element forming a crinoline mount or step bearing for the pivot of the top carriage which carries the gun and being pivoted to the lower fixed element carrying the horizontal pivot, about which the whole of the gun is lowered or raised, of the top carriage and of the said upper element or crinoline mount.
  • the lock between the folding down Velement of theundencarriage and of the fixed element is obtained by means of a rotatable hooking device having its centre upon the axis of the pivot of the top carriage and adapted to be operated by means ot the mechanism itself ⁇ by which the pivoting mass 1s made to disappear and is righted.
  • This righting operation and the hooking operation are obtained in a continuous manner by the interposition of a double clutch between theoperat-ing member and the two mechanisms to be operated successively.
  • Figl is a sectional elevation of a general arrangement of a disappearing carriage constructed according to the' invention and mounted upon a submersible boat, the gun being shown in full lines in its working posi tion and in dot and dash lines in its withdrawn position.
  • Fig. 2 is a corresponding sectionalplan of a part, to a larger scale, taken along the line 9.-2 in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of a part, the section being taken along the line 3 3 in Fig. 2.
  • Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of a part
  • Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of apart, the section being taken along the line in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 6 is a section taken along the line 6 6 in Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 7 is a similar sectional elevation to that shown in Fig. 4 showing the members in another working position.
  • Fig. 9 is a diagrammatic development, showing the hooking device in its disengaged position.
  • the under-carriage as shown in Fig. 1, is mounted in the usual manner upon the keelson A of the resisting hull.
  • it comprises two elements, a lower fixed element B suitably secured to the said keelson, and an element C which, in the position of use of the gun, ⁇ is superposed upon the lirst; this latter element is formed by a crinoline mount forming astep bearing for the pivot or' the top carriage D of any known type, in which is journalled the Cradle E of of the gun barrel.
  • the arrangement formed by the element C, the top carriage D and the oscillating mass E is pivoted by the arms C1 about a shaft F tor which bearings are formed upon the fixed element B.
  • Each ot the arms C1 is preferably rigid with a cam C2, on which is adapted to wind a cable or a chain C3, one end of which is attached tothe said cam while the otherend is piroted to theH rod of the piston G of a counterpoise, which comprises an oscillating cylinder H and a springl pressing at one end upon one of the ends of the cylinder and at the other end upon the piston.
  • the lowering Ymechanism comprises no other pivotal connection apart from the shaft F.
  • a 'locking device is provided be# the fixed element B. In the form shown, this locking device comprises a sector'formed as aprojection upon a collar J made in two parts, which is movable in a groove in the lixedelement B.
  • the projecting sector is provided with series of notches J1 adapted Y to engage, for the locking, with corresponding notches C4 formed in projection upon the base ot the ⁇ dropping element C.
  • the collar 'J-J'l is providedY over a partof its length,
  • the worm K carries at one endone of the parts K1 of a dog or other clutch with which a complementary clutch relement L1 formed upon one of the end faces or' a sleeve L can be brought into engagement, which sleeve L is provided on its opposite end face with a second clutch element L2, this latter element being adapted to be brought Vinto engagement with' a ⁇ complementary element hl formed upon a sleeve M which is adapted to slide and turn upon the shaft L.V Y
  • the said sleeve M is adapted to slide in the boss of a pinion N, which forms thedi'iving member of the mechanism for righting and lowering the pivoting mass.: in the example shown, this mechanism comprises a bevel pinion N1 keyed upon one of the ends of a shaft ⁇ N2 which turns in the fixed element B and carries at its other end a ⁇ worm ila which engages with a worin wheel N4 keyed upon the shaft F.
  • the shaft L is driven by atraiismission gear P-Pl-PZ v.terminating in a handle P3, (Fig. 2), which can. be operated by a gun servant stationed on theV heelson.
  • the same shaft may alternatively belk driven t-h-rouOha *transmission O'ear D s: Q-Ql-QfQ-(M-Q" terminating in a handle QG' (Fig.V l) adapt-ed to be operated" ⁇ from theinside of the hull.-
  • the gun is assumed to be in the position Vof use shown in Figs. 1 6 inclusive and if it is desired to make ther gun disappear, the handle P3 or the handle Q, as desired, is actuated 'for this purpose.
  • lt v will Vbe lassumed forl example that the operation is eii'ected by means of the handle P3.
  • the teeth J1 are superposed upon the teeth C4 and the clutch elementsL1 and K1 are in i engagement, while the clutch element L? is disengaged from the clutch vvelement L1.
