Title: Improvements in and relating to Explosion Engines.
Inventor: EMIL CAPITAINE
Filed: 1905-11-06
Abstract: 22,704. Capitaine, E. Nov. 5, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Gas and like engines.- In a two - stroke - cycle engine, the outward movement of the piston B is not communicated to the shaft w, but air at three or four atmospheres pressure is further compressed in the crank chamber R. During the first three-quarters of the in-stroke, the crank disk F is connected to the shaft w by means of an hydraulic clutch, Fig. 2, and during the last quarter it is released and the momentum of the piston compresses the new charge between them to their igniting-point. Hydraulic brakes P, worked in the same way as the clutch, may cause the pistons to dwell at the end of their out-stroke. The hydraulic clutch is controlled by an inlet valve c and outlet valve d, the fluid acting through elastic diaphragms to press brake shoes on to the boss of the crank disk F. The exhaust escapes from the cylinder through ports x and a valve z when the piston passes them, and a new charge enters through the ports z during the rest of the out-stroke. On the in-stroke, the residuum is expelled through the ports x and the new charge is compressed.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Machine Guns.
Inventor: AUGEZD ADOLF ODKOLEK VON
Filed: 1906-02-22
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 4389. Odkolek von Augezd, Baron A. Feb. 22. Machine guns. - The longitudinally - sliding breech-bolt 3 of an automatic gun, of the kind described in Specifications No. 16,939, A.D. 1890, No. 7137, A.D. 1892, and No. 23,271, A.D. 1899, is locked in the firing position-shown in Fig. 1-by a block 7, ribs 10 on which engage with stops 11 on the breech-casing 1. The block is supported in the locking position by a nose 71, wbich enters a recess 51 in the rear wall of a recess 8 in a locking- piece 5. On discharge, the gas-operated piston 13 drives the locking-piece rearwards and releases the block 7, permitting the ribs 10 to fall into line with guide-grooves 2 in the breech-casing, so that the bolt 3 and locking-piece 5 may recoil together and compress the return spring 9. When firing automatically, the sear 18 is held out of action and the recoiling parts move forwards together until the motion of the breech-bolt is arrested by a fixed stop 41. The piece 5 then continues its motion alone, and first raises the block 7 into locking position, and finally, as it is brought to rest by a stop 22, drives the firing-pin 4 forwards and discharges the gun. During the recoil, a lever 23 is rocked and raises an arm 24 against the pressure of the spring 25 ; on the counter-recoil, the arm 24 is lowered and ratchet teeth 26, Fig. 4, formed thereon actuate the cartridge-belt 27. For firing single shots, a sliding piece 21 on the trigger-arm 19 is moved rearwards so that the sear 18 disengages itself when depressed beyond a certain point, and springs into position to engage a lug 17 on the breech-bolt, and to prevent the return of the latter until the trigger is again pulled. A modified firing-mechanism of this type is shown in Fig. 8, and consists of an arm 34 actuated by a thumb-piece 36 and adapted to be engaged with an arm 37 on the sear when it is desired to fire automatically.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Railway Point and Signal Apparatus.
Filed: 1907-07-15
Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 16,241. Kershaw, A. G., and Saxby & Farmer. July 15. Points and switches.-Relates to means for operating, locking, and detecting railway points, and detecting the signals relating thereto, by one lever and a single operating connexion. The points are operated, locked, and detected by a rotary member 17, Fig. 1, which is pivoted upon links 16 carried upon a split stretcher-bar 3, 4 or a pair of strether-bars, and is connected by a link 30, crank 32, and link 33 to the locking-bar 34, which is connected in turn to the operating-lever by a single connexion ; the rotary member is also connected to a signal detector through a yoke 38 and link 40. This member, shown in plan and side elevation in Figs. 12 and 13, has formed on its lower surface projections 18,19, which have convex faces 18<a>, 19<a> adapted to engage with the concave faces 7<a>, 8<a> of the lugs 7, 8 on the base casting 6, Fig. 8, and concave faces 18<b>, 19<b> to engage the convex faces 9<a>, 10<a> of the lugs 9, 10. Locking-pieces 20 ... 25 are formed on the upper face of the rotary member, and are adapted to engage notches 26 ... 29 in the stretcher-bars. The stretcher - bars work in raised bearings 11 ... 14 formed on the baseplate. Assuming the parts to be in the position shown in Fig. 1, and a movement to the left given to the rod 33, the rotary member is first rotated clockwise, disengaging the pieces 18, 19 from the lugs 7, 10, and withdrawing the locking-pieces 21, 25 from the notches in the bar 4 and the pieces 22, 24 from the notches in the bar 3. The points are thus unlocked and the link 40 has operated to lock the single slide, or slides, of the detector. The piece 18 abuts against the lug 9 and the piece 19 against the lug 8, so that further movement of the rod 33 produces a transverse sliding of the rotary member, stretcher-bars, and tongues, until the tongue 1<b> abuts against the stock rail in its reverse position. The member 17 is then again free to rotate, and the further movement of the rod 33 causes the pieces 18, 19 to engage with the lugs 8, 9 and inserts the locking-pieces 20, 24 and 21, 23 in the notches in the stretcher-bars 4, 3. The points are then locked and detected in their reverse position, and the link 40 has released the signal slide, or slides, of the detector. To return the points to their initial position, the cycle of operations is reversed. When applied to a single point tongue, the rotary member is pivoted on a stretcher-bar connected to the tongue and locks an independent stretcher also connected to the tongue. In this case the locking - pieces 20, 25 may be dispensed with. The yoke 38 is pivoted to the rotary member 17 at the two points 31, 39, so that, should the member be broken, the movement of the rod 33 would not give a complete movement of the yoke, with the result that the signals would not be released. If desired, the connexion of the link 40 may be made directly to the rotary member by a pin or stud.
