Abstract: 27,049. Philp, J. Dec 4. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic.-The apparatus comprises a chamber a, in which air is compressed by the rising tide, and superposed vessels c, c<1>, c<2> connected in such a way that the compressed air forces water upwards step by step from one to the other into a reservoir at the top. The air chamber a is open at the bottom through ducts a' and is fixed to the beach just above low-water level L.T. Upon this chamber are the superposed vessels c, c<1>, c<2>, the lower one c reaching to about high-water level H.T. As the water rises above the air-chamber level, it enters the vessel c through the non-return valves d and raises the float k, whereby the air-escape valve e is closed and the valve f opened, permitting the entrance of compressed air from the pipe b leading from the chamber a. In this way the water is forced through the pipe g and non-return valve g<1> into the chamber c<1> above, whilst the falling water, by the aid of the float mechanism, closes the valve f and opens the valve e.

Abstract: 24,352. Hecker, A., and Ungeth³m, P. Oct. 24. Embroidery machines.-In a Heilmann embroidery machine, a hand-driven apparatus is provided for removing the needles from the needle-clips and replacing them by freshlythreaded needles. Two pairs of jaws 38, 39 are mounted upon a pivoted and cam-actuated frame 28. The threaded needles are stuck in a long cushion 77, which is periodically moved upwards to enable one pair of jaws to close upon a needle and withdraw it from the cushion. Thereafter the frame 28 is swung inwards and the threaded needle is positioned in an empty needle clip 42, from which the used needle has been removed, and which has been opened again for the reception of the fresh needle by the cam-depression of a rod 44. Simultaneously, the other pair of jaws is closed upon the empty needle in the next needle clip, and since the clip has been opened by a second rod 44, the empty needle is removed as the frame 28 swings out again. During this movement, a brush 57 is caused to straighten the thread end left in the used needle to ensure that a pair of shears 61 cut it off. Finally, the empty needle is dropped into a hopper 43. A long finger 87 is driven by suitable linkwork so as to engage the thread in the fresh needle and straighten it out as the needle is carried towards the needle clip. The cushion carrying the fresh needles is fed laterally step-by-step by a ratchet gear operated by the rising and falling movement of the cushion. The cam-shafts are driven through bevel-gearing from a worm-wheel engaging a doubleworm shaft 8, which is driven by hand gearing 10, 11. The frame 2 carrying the apparatus is supported upon an angle-iron 6, and is moved across the machine from one needleclip to the next by means of a half-nut secured to the frame which rests upon the worm-shaft 8.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Internal Combustion Engines Utilising the Exhaust Gases for Vaporising the Combustible.
Inventor: PIEPER HENRI
IPC: F02B5/02
Filed: 1912-12-21
Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 29,459. Pieper, H. Dec. 22, 1911, [Convention date]. Vaporizers, external.-The heat of the burnt gases is utilized for vaporizing the fuel by diverting a portion of the gases into a vessel where they heat the fuel by direct contact, the passage of the gases to the vaporizer being controlled by the piston. As shown in Fig. 1, which illustrates the application to a four-strokecycle engine, pure air is first drawn into the cylinder through the valve 11. At the end of the stroke, vapour from the vessel 6 enters the cylinder and is compressed during the up-stroke. At the end of the next or working stroke, some of the burnt gases pass into the vaporizer 6 and the rest through the valve 14. By suitably timing the valve 14, any desired proportion of the gases may be passed into the vaporizer. The momentum of the gases leaving the vaporizer draws in fresh fuel through the valve 10. The carburettor 12 is for starting on light fuel. Various modifications are described. In some cases the exhaust gases pass right through the vaporizer and escape by an automatic valve. The vaporizer may be of various shapes and made of a non-conducting material, such as porcelain, or may be lined with a non-conductor, and may contain iron filings. It is thermally insulated from the cylinder by a layer of asbestos 5. In an application to a two-stroke-cycle engine, a separate pump, driven from the crank-shaft, compresses air which is conveyed to an air-tank and to the upper part of the fuel tank. The compressed air and fuel are admitted to the vaporizer by a mechanically worked valve. The air for the working charge is compressed in the crank-case and passes to the cylinder by a pistoncontrolled valve in the usual manner.

Abstract: 817. Zabel, R. Feb. 27, 1912, [Convention date]. Printed records, apparatus for giving. -In connexion with the printing arrangements of a weighing-machine a device is used for preventing the introduction of the ticket unless the beam is in equilibrium, such device having no positive connexion with a hand-operated part. The ticket is introduced through a slot in a slide h, which is previously lowered by hand until the slot registers with a slot i in the frame. The slide h carries a second slide f, to which is pivoted a knife-edge c. If the beam is in equilibrium, the knife-edge c is supported during the descent of the slide h upon a knife-edge b on the beam and the ticket may be pushed into the printing position. If, however, the beam is not in equilibrium, the knife-edge c misses or is pushed aside by the knife-edge b and the slide f obstructs the ticket channel and thus prevents the positioning of the ticket.
