Title: Improvements in and relating to the Lubrication of Internal Combustion Engines.
Filed: 1908-02-01
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 2334. Soc. Anon. des Anciens Etablissements Panhard et Levassor. Feb. 1, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907, March, 25, 1907]. Lubricators.-In a lubricator for internal - combustion engines, the supply of oil is regulated by the vacuum or reduction of pressure produced in the suction of the explosive mixture, and is therefore proportional to the power developed. By means of a pipe K, connecting the lubricator to the carburettor, oil is sucked from a reservoir A through a valved nozzle F, and drips through a sight chamber D to a pipe I, passing to the suction side of a pump by which it is forced to the motor. The reservoir A is open to the atmosphere by an orifice B. A constant level of oil is maintained in the reservoir A by means of a pump and an overflow pipe.

Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 27,490. Michau, F. Nov. 25. Aerial machines without acrostats; planes, construction of; propelling.-The machine is supported and propelled by wings extending from the rear of rods which describe a cone of revolution without rotation about their length. The average radius of motion of the wing surface is thus greater during the downward than during the upward stroke. In addition. the wing surface is increased during the downward movement by means of winglets 2, which partake only of the up-and-down movement of the wings. Horizontal propulsion is derived from the downwardly inclined part a b c of the wings, which has a greater average area, viewed in the direction of flight, during the rearward than during the forward movement of the wing. To effect the operation of the wings, the rods 8 are connected to cranks 16 on the driving-shafts and project, through bearings in rings 9, which, while permitting the conical motion of the rods, prevent rotation about their own length. The winglets 2 are pivoted to the rings 9 at 46 for vertical movement, and are connected to the wings 1 by guides 42 to allow relative horizontal movement. The wings are braced by shrouds 30 extending between the ribs 29, Fig. 5, and uprights 31 secured to the rods 8, and by shrouds 45 extending from the ribs to an upright 39 on the crosspiece 35. Steering and balancing by adjustment of (a) the plane of action of the wings ; (b) rudders; (c) the centre of gravity of the machine. (a) The rings 9 are secured to rings 11 rotatably mounted in the frame 12 of the machine to enable the inclination of the wings in the direction of flight to be varied. Rotation of the rings 11 is effected by teeth 44 thereon. worms 43, and hand-wheels 21. (b)'The tail 3, comprising an horizontal and a vertical plane 17, 18, pivoted at 20, is adjusted for lateral steering by a hand-wheel 22 and gear-wheel 34 engaging a sector 28 secured to the rod 19 of the tail. The rod 19 is inclined for vertical steering by a screw-and-nut mechanism 23. (c) The machine is provided with a jointed underframe 59, Fig. 2<a>, which can be collapsed against the superstructure during flight by means of a cord 57. The inclination of the machine during flight can be adjusted by collapsing the frame 59 more or less, and also by a sliding weight 27 controlled by the cord 56 and hand-wheel 55. The underframe comprises a rod 60, one end of which is hinged at 50, while the other slides on the rod 61. Rigidity of the underframe on the ground is obtained by the wedging of the sliding end of the rod in the position shown. The inclination of the whole underframe can be adjusted by means of a toothed sector 51, worm 52, and hand-wheel 53. Aerial machines adapted to travel also on land.-The land-wheels 26 support the jointed underframe 59 described above, so that they can be moved upwards against the superstructure during flight, or their position with respect to the superstructure can be adjusted.
