Title: Improvements in Petrol and like Motors.
Inventor: BERLIET MARIUS
Filed: 1905-12-29
Granted: 1906-12-29
Abstract: 27,163. Berliet, M. Dec. 29. Gas and like engines.-Four-stroke-cycle multicylinder reversing-engines for motor road vehicles and boats are providel with longitudinally-sliding cam shafts to enable some or all of the cylinders to be worked by compressed air at starting or when an extra effort is required. Six and three cylinder engines are described, the air for starting &c. being compressed by engine - operated pumps. The engine is provided with automatic inlet valves, and with mechanically-operated exhaust valves a, b; a<1>, bl ; and a<2>, b<9>which are opened by cams on the cam shaft B. When three of the cylinders 2, 4, 6 are being operated by compressed air, the camshaft is displaced so that the exhaust valves of the cylinders 1, 3, 5 are opened on alternate revolutions of the crank-shaft and the compressed-air valves A and the exhaust valves of the cylinders 2, 4, 6 once every revolution. When reversing, the cam shaft is adjusted to hold open the exhaust valves of the cylinders 1, 3, 5, while compressed air is simultaneously admitted to and exhausted from the cylinders 2, 4, 6. The three-cylinder engine deacribed has an independent pump driven from the crank-shaft. All the power cylinders work with combustib'e charges or compressed air.

Granted: 1909-05-17
Abstract: 8534. Bradley, J. J. April 16. Furnaces for heating metals.-In apparatus for treating iron, steel, and analogous metal articles with hydrogen at a high temperature for producing a surface which will resist oxidation or corrosion, the articles are placed on perforated shelves n in a box l, which is placed in a muffle c heated by an anthracite or coke fire a. The combustion products heat a steam generator e and also a zigzag pipe h, through which the steam passes for superheating. The superheated steam is delivered into the box by a perforated pipe r, and passes through a heated layer p<1> of iron filings &c., the hydrogen thus generated passing over the articles. A piece of copper may be placed in the box l, fine particles of which are carried with the hydrogen into the superficial layer on the articles. When the treatment with hydrogen is complete, the box is removed and allowed to cool slowly. Petrol or other hydrocarbon may be injected into the box before the cooling is very far advanced, and becomes vaporized, the carbon entering the superficial layer on the articles. The apparatus for generating the hydrogen may be separate from that in which the articles are treated.

Abstract: 12,657. Margonari, V. June 12. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Printing-surfaces.-A flong for preparing stereotype and like matrices is formed by coating sheets of silk paper, preferably previously treated with alum, tannin, or formaldehyde, with a paste consisting of a filling mass such as carbonate or sulphate of lime, carbonate of magnesia, zinc white, baryta or kaolin, a viscous substance such as starch, dextrin, or glue, a hardening substance such as alum, formaldehyde, tannin, &c., and a preservative such as camphor, to which castor oil or other fat is added to facilitate the separation of the matrix from the forme without the interposition of a sheet of thin paper. The matrix, after having been pressed or beaten into the heated forme in the usual way, is filled in at the back by a sheet of cardboard coated on the side next to the matrix with a paste consisting of dextrin, calcium carbonate, kaolin, magnesia, whitening, or the like, and alum. Stereotype plates may be cast in the usual way from these matrices and may afterwards be rendered more durable by a light electro-coating of copper or nickel. Printing-plates of celluloid may be prepared by pressing a sheet of celluloid softened by heating to 120‹-150‹ in contact with the matrix between two heated steel plates.

Abstract: 13,734. Cornaro, G. June 27, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Resistances of the kind described in Specification No. 22,090, A.D. 1903, containing finely divided metals or metallic salts or both, are now brought to the desired conductivity by repeated alternate baking and compressing, the resistance varying oppositely to the pressure. They are applicable to stoves, radiators, furnaces, cooking-appliances, and the like. Oxides or salts which have a negative resistance temperature coefficient may be added, to obtain constancy of resistance. A paste of metals, salts, or oxides and a carbonaceous colloid may be moulded under a pressure of 50-200 atmospheres, according to the resistance desired, then baked, and again compressed while hot ; the baking and compressing are repeated as often as necessary. The Specification, in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also resistances made of aluminium or nickel together with an oxide of cilcium, magnesium, or manganese and a solution of dextrin. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 14,657. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Grimston, G. S. July 10. Search-lights.-In order that twin or two-barrel projectors may be worked with practically the same facility as an ordinary single projector, the two barrels A, A<1> are rigidly, but detachably, coupled together at or near one or both ends, thereby obviating any strains such as a connexion near the middle pivots or bearings of the projector would be liable to. Figs. 3 and 4 show one form of the device for coupling the barrels A, A'. A clamping-screw f is pivoted to a lug e on one of the brackets c<1>, and passes through a slot e<3> in the lug e<1> on the other bracket, to which it is clamped by the wing-nut f<2>. Set-screws e<4> are provided to ensure perfect horizontal alinement of the barrels, and slight vertical adjustments are obtained by making the slots e<3> of sufficient vertical width to permit of slight vertical displacement of the lugs e, el relatively to each other. The coupling may, however, be effected either by a spring bolt or by interlocking projections on the barrels. The training and elevating movements may be made by gearing D, E of the kind described in Specification No. 20,201, A.D. 1907, or the twin barrels may be simultaneously and quickly operated by any one of the handles b. The pivots of the projectors are carried by slides d, which can be adjusted on the bars c on the projectors to bring them properly into balance, and ready detachment is obtained by providing the bearings a<2> with hinged caps g, and by making the journal pin of the middle bearing in two parts which abut in the middle of the bearing. The bearings a' are mounted upon the turntable B by either three pairs of #-shaped arms a and a cross-bar a<4>, or by one pair of #-shaped arms between the projectors and single curved or quadrant-shaped external arms secured by pins into sockets on the turntable.
