Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines
Inventor: ENNIS JOHN GARDINER
Filed: 1907-07-04
Granted: 1908-07-06
Abstract: 15,433. Ennis, J. G. July 4. Gas and like engines, reversing. The invention relates to reversing four-stroke-cycle road vehicle and marine engines and consists in utilizing the initial reverse rotation of the crank-shaft to ad just both the valve-gear and the ignition mechanism automatically to suit the altered conditions of running. The engine is first slowed down by cutting out the ignition ; failing to pass the dead-centre on the final compression stroke, it recoils and completes an auxiliary ignition circuit which fires the compressed charge and gives the piston its initial impulse in the opposite direction. The reverse rotation of the crank-shaft having adjusted the valve-gear, normal running is established. The distributing-valves 6, 7, Figs. 1 and 7, are operated by cams 8, 9 and act either as admission or exhaust valves in accordance with the direction of running. The chambers 22, 23 have each three controlling- valves, those shown in the chamber 22 at 6, 24, and 26 regulating the cylinder port 14, the mixture inlet passage 16, and the exhaust port respectively. With the engine running in the direction shown in Fig. 1, the products of combustion exhaust through the chamber 22 while the adjoining chamber 23, with its closed exhaust valve 27, admits explosive mixture through the inlet valve 25 and the cylinder admission valve 7. The normally stationary mixture-admission and exhaust valves 24, 26 and 25, 27 are operated in pairs so that the admission valve of one chamber opens simultaneously with the exhaust valve of the other. The valves are permanently adjusted by levers which receive motion from the shaft 45, through rods 40, 41 and the wrist plate 39. The shaft 45 is adjusted, when starting, by the hand lever 49, and when reversing by the backward movement of the crank-shaft. The wrist plate 39 which is mounted on the shaft 45 is engaged by a pin carried by a crank 69, Fig. 2, on the end of a shaft 56. Carried by the shaft 56 is a pair of longitudinally adjustable trip levers 57, 58 the movements of which to reverse the valve gear are controlled by cams 50, 51 driven from the cam shaft 53. The hand-lever 65, Fig. 2, which throws the trip-levers into the path of the cams 50, 51 also closes the ignition circuits shown diagrammatically in Fig. 4. The auxiliary circuit 97, 98, 99, 96, Fig. 4, is completed by the end of the trip-lever 57 engaging with the contact-strip 96. This circuit is broken and the normal circuit established when the lever 57 reaches the contact 92.

Abstract: 1435. Lahaussois, R. Jan. 21, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Fixed-abutment Type.-Relates to pumps of the kind in which a split-ring piston slides and oscillates in an annular chamber about an abutment so as constantly to keep in contact at successive points with the inner and outer walls of the chamber. The chamber formed by two fixed concentric cylinders a, b, Figs. 1 and 2, is divided by a partiton d, which lies in a plane tangential to the circle of eccentricity f of the piston c and passing through the point of intersection g of the diametrical plane B-B with the outer surface of the cylinder a. This arrangement is stated to lessen the stresses between the piston and the partition, and in order to avoid any wedging action, slides m, n offering a large friction surface are provided, against which the edges of the piston bear. The piston is actuated by an eccentric cam o, mounted astride the driving-shaft p, which is provided with two flats for this purpose. Fig. 4 shows the device for adjusting the eccentricity of the piece o. The shaft p is provided with a fixed incline q and a movable incline r, and by means of a nut s and lock-nut t these inclines can be drawn nearer together, thereby increasing the eccentricity of the piece o. Fig. 3 illustrates a modification, in which the abutment d is movable, and is guided in the oscillatory movement given to it by the piston either by the curve of the walls i, j, or by trunnions (not shown). The apparatus is reversible and may serve as an engine.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Devices for Protecting Transformers Cables and other Electrical Apparatus.
Filed: 1908-04-28
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 9237. Allgemeine Elektricitõts - Ges. 'April 29, 1907, [date applied for under Section 81 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Distributing, - A protective arrangement for completely isolating electric apparatus'upon the occurrence of a fault or an overload is obtained by placing the apparatus between transformers, the secondaries of which are placed in series in an auxiliary circuit, between the equipotential points of which one or two relays or trip coils are arranged in parallel and are adapted to close the circuits of trip coils operating switches on both sides of the apparatus. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1 for operating upon the occurrence of' a fault, a table is placed between transformers a, a', the secondaries of which are arranged so that their voltages are additive in an auxiliary circuit l, l<1>. A circuit n,n<1> is connected to the auxiliary circuit l, l<1> at zero or equipotential points m, m<1> so that under normal conditions no current flows through the relays r, r<1>. When a fault occurs between the transformers, the balance of voltage at the points m, m<1> is disturbed, and the relays operate to close the circuits of the trip coils c, c<1>. In a modification for isolating a single-phase transformer, two current meters and a time-limit fuse are arranged in the auxiliary circuit l, l<1>, one meter on each side of the point m. A single relay is placed between the points m, m<1>, which closes the circuits of the trip coils upon the occurrence of a fault or an overload. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the trip coils c, c<1> are directly connected to equipotential points x, x<1> and y, y<1>, a fuse b being inserted between the points x, y. When the arrangement shown in Fig. 1 is applied to a threephase cable, to obtain a cut-out for every fault, the transforming ratio of the transformers must differ in at least one phase conductor. The same effect can be obtained by arranging a circuit parallel to the primary windings of the two transformers belonging to the same phase. If these parallel circuits contain non-conductive resistances, they prevent the impressing of current waves of higher order on the transformers. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also an arrangement in which the relays are placed in series in the auxiliary circuit, one of the conductors n being dispensed with, while choking-coils are placed between the terminals of the secondaries of the transformers and the terminals of the relays, to prevent disturbances of the relays by the charging- currents of the relay conductor ; this subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
