Abstract: 4239. Leeke, W. H., and Wilesmith, A. J. K.. Feb. 19. [Cognate Application. 8450/13.] Valves and valve-gear and gas-engine igniting- gear, setting-apparatus for.-Relates to apparatus for assisting in setting the ignition and valves of internal-combustion engines of the type wherein a rod or wire is adapted to rest upon the piston and slides in or upon a guide secured to the cylinder. The guide 2 is graduated in millimetres and centimetres on one side upon which is read the position of the piston. The apparatus may be used in conjunction with a chart upon which is a list of numbers representing different strokes, and opposite each number is the angle of the connecting-rod from the vertical when the piston has descended through definite distances. From this the piston position can be found if the angle of the rod is given and the stroke known. The guide may be graduated upon the other side with the angles through which the crankpin passes for portions of the stroke rÞpresented. For strokes of different lengths, a number of different instruments may be employed, or a number of different scales may be employed with one instrument. The apparatus, Fig. 2, intended for setting valves, is graduated for the whole stroke of the piston. The apparatus, Fig. 3, intended for setting the ignition device, is graduated only at the end of the stroke. Holes 10 are drilled into the lower caps 7 to release the compression. A flat circular dial provided with a movable hand operated by the vertical rod through a rack and pinion may be used in lieu of the upright scale. The rod may be in the form of a flexible but incompressible member for use in confined spaces.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Expanding Pulleys and the like.
IPC: F16H61/662
Filed: 1913-09-15
Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 20,785. Vogtlõndische Maschinen-Fabrik (vorm. J. C. & H. Dietrich Akt.- Ges.). Sept. 14, 1912, [Convention date]. Expanding pulleys. - Relates to expanding belt or rope pulleys or other circular driving- means of the kind in which a number of crown sections are radially adjustable by means of screw spindles engaging nuts adapted to be revolved by means of. bevel-gearing, and consists in combining screw spindles with two sets of crown sections constituting a pair of juxtaposed pulleys the diameters of which are simultaneously varied inversely. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, one pulley &c. is constituted by a set of crown sections 1, 2, 3, 4 mounted by means of screw-threaded bosses 19 upon radially-arranged spindles 18 having lefthand screw-threads. The second pulley element is formed by crown sections 5, 6, 7, 8 similarly mounted upon a set of right-hand screwthreaded spindles 17. The spindles 17, 18 are mounted in a central disk 14 keyed to the shaft 10, and each spindle carries fixedly a bevel pinion 20, meshing on opposite sides with bevel-wheels 22, 23 loosely mounted upon the boss of the disk 14. By suitably restraining the rotation of one or other of the bevel-wheels 22, 23, the sets of spindles 17, 18 are rotated upon their axes during normal rotation of the shaft 10, thereby effecting simultaneous inverse adjustment of the two sets of crown sections. The means for restraining the bevel-wheels comprise a pair of arms 31, 32 mounted upon a hand-controlled screw-threaded spindle 29. The upper end of the arm 31 is formed with a hook or lug 33 adapted to engage a projecting radially slidable member 24 carried by the bevelwheel 22. The other arm 32 is appropriately formed with a lug 34 to engage a similar slide member 26 carried by the opposite bevel-wheel 23. The slide members 24, 26 are each pressed inwardly by means of springs 25, 27 respectively against the peripheries of cam-shaped extensions 12, 13 of the hub of the central disk 14. Thus if, by adjustment of the spindle 29 by means of the hand-wheel 30, the arms 31, 32 be moved towards the right so that the lug 33 engages the slide member 24, rotation of the bevel-wheel 22 is restrained and adjustment of the pulley sections effected, until during the rotation of the cam-shaped part 12, the lower portion thereof comes opposite the spring- pressed slide member 24 and permits it to slide out of engagement with the lug 33, thereby terminating the adjustment. In a modification, all the screw-threaded spindles are of the same hand, while the bevel pinions 20 are alternately of two sizes and intermeshing, only the larger pinions meshing with the bevel-wheels 22, 23. Thus the sets 17, 18 of spindles are rotated in opposite directions, and, being of the same hand, effect inverse adjustment of the pulley sections as in the previous arrangement.

Title: Improvements in Gas Driven Pumps.
Inventor: TOOLEY HERBERT
Filed: 1913-07-05
Granted: 1914-07-06
Abstract: 2949. Tooley, H. July 5, 1913. Direct explosion apparatus.-In a pump of the type in which an explosive mixture is ignited in a combustion chamber to give momentum to the liquid to be pumped, the liquid is delivered through a non-return valve and the compression stroke is effected by a piston operated by an energystoring device which receives its energy during the previous cycle. Fig. 1 s h o w s the invention applied to a pump having a charge vessel as described in Specification 7273/13. When the explosion o c c u r s in the chamber A, the piston G is forced d o w n w a r d s driving water through the delivery valve f and operating a fly-wheel H by means of a cam J. At the bottom of its stroke, the outer portion of the piston G is arrested by a stop a<4>, while the centre portion g, which acts as a valve, opens so as to allow water which has been set in motion in the supply-pipe E<1> to flow through the piston and follow the water in the delivery pipe F. At the same time, water from the pipe E flows through the valve e to follow the water in the delivery column. The cam J is so shaped that the piston remains in its lowermost position for a period, but ultimately the portion j<3> of the cam forces the piston upwards, causing the valve e<1> to close and compressing the fresh charge, which has been drawn into the charge vessel C, in the upper part of the combustion chamber. Modifications are described as follows :-(1) The valve g in the piston may be replaced by an enlargement in the cylinder A, so that when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, the water can flow round it. (2) The valve in the piston and the passage E<1> may be dispensed with, an auxiliary supply of water being sprayed into the combustion chamber to keep the water therein cool; the excess water above the piston flows away through a relief valve. (3) The return of the piston may be effected by a spring, either directly or through toggle mechanism, the timing of the release of the spring being effected either by clock-work mechanism or by some moving part of the apparatus such as the water-valves ; the timing may further be controlled by dash-pot mechanism, which may itself be controlled by the level of liquid in the supply-tank. (4) The inlet and exhaust valves of the combustion chamber may be water-sealed as described in Specification 7273/13. (5) The inlet and delivery valves for water may be situated at the end of a tubular extension of the combustion chamber in order to utilize the full inertia effect of the water therein, the piston for effecting the return stroke being also situate at the same end of this pipe. (6) In the form of pump having a solid piston without a valve, a diaphragm may be arranged below the piston in order to separate the water in the part A<1> of the pump from the liquid to be pumped.

Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 3994. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. Feb. 16. Percussive hand tools.-The distributing- valve, the forward end of which controls the exhaust and the rear end the admission, is arranged parallel to the cylinder on a plug 8, which has a small forward end provided with passages 10 communicating with the forward cylinder passage 9 and inlet and exhaust ports 11, 12, and an enlarged rear end which has an inlet-chamber 13, ports 14, very small radial passages 16, and a central passage 29, which communicate with the exterior of the plug. The distributing-valve is provided with a forward surface 26 upon which fluid pressure from the passage 29 constantly acts, an exhaust port 23, an internal shoulder 30, an internal recess 25 which supplies fluid to the forward end of the cylinder by connecting passages 16, 10 when the valve is in its rear position, and rear shoulders 31, 32 upon which piston-compressed fluid, increased in pressure by fluid supplied to the cylinder through leakage ducts 34, 35, acts to reverse the valve. The collective area of the shoulders 30, 34, 35 is greater than the area of the face 26 of the valve. The valvechest is provided with an atmospheric exhaust 21, and the cylinder has inlet and exhaust passages 17, 18 at its rear end, and a. passage 27 which communicates with the valve face 26. As the piston moves forward, the fluid pressure acts on the face 32 only, since the flange 31 is out of contact with the shoulder 33. When the front end of the piston passes the port 28 the pressure accumulates on the surface 26. When the back end of the piston passes the port 28, the valve is reversed. The air escapes from the surface 26 through ports 27, 28, 18, but sufficient air is taken from the inlet chamber 13 through the passage 29 to prevent the pressure acting on the surface 30 from throwing the valve forward.
