Patent GB-191309418-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Lubricating Systems for Internal Combustion Engines, specially applicable to Motor Cars.
Inventor: JAMES CHARLES EVERLYN
IPC: F01M1/04
Filed: 1913-04-22
Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 9418. James, C. E., and Robertson, T. R. April 22. Gravity-feed lubricators; liquid level, maintaining.-The parts of an internal-combustion engine for motor-cars &c. are lubricated by gravity from an oil reservoir which is replenished periodically from a sump by suction of the engine. The oil reservoir 1 is connected by a pipe 2 to the suction side of the engine, such as the fuel-inlet pipe, and by a pipe 6 to a sump into which used oil collects. An oil-outlet valve 3 and an air-inlet valve 7 are operated simultaneously by a float 15 on a lever 16 engaging a rod 12, formed with a wedge 14 to pass between and separate the two valve stems 3<a>, 7<a>. When the oil level is low, the valves are closed and the suction of the engine draws oil from the sump through the pipe 6 into the reservoir. When the float rises, the valves 3, 7 are opened, and the oil flows by a pipe 5 to a distributor, or directly to the parts to be lubricated. Deficiency of oil in the sump causes air to be sucked into the reservoir, diluting the fuel mixture; the attention of the driver is attracted by the consequent loss of power. The Provisional Specification also describes an arrangement for the same purpose, in which the reservoir is divided into upper and lower chambers connected by a valved opening; this valve and a valve in the suction pipe 2 are operated simultaneously by a float in the upper chamber, one valve being opened when the other is closed.

Title: Improvements in Microphones, Relays and the like especially suitable for use in Radio-telephony.
Inventor: SYKES ADRIAN FRANCIS
IPC: H03C5/00
Filed: 1914-03-28
Granted: 1915-06-28
Abstract: 7922. Sykes, A. F., and Ford, S. March 28. Microphones and variable-resistance transmitters; telephonic relays.-In a microphone or telephonic relay, suitable for wireless telephony, sound waves control the amount of a conductivity changer, such as a solution of caustic soda, which is added to a stream of liquid, such as water, passing between electrodes. In the microphone shown in Fig. 1, a solution of soda under constant pressure passes through a pressure-reducing valve 2 into an annular space 6 surrounding the perforated portion of a pipe 7, through which flows a stream of water passing between electrodes 8 in the circuit to be controlled. The diaphragm 5 carries two valves 4 which allow more or less of the soda to leak past them, and thus vary the pressure of the soda entering the pipe 7. In the form shown in Figs. 2, 7, and 8, the sound waves vary the direction of a jet of soda which falls on a knife-edge, part of the jet flowing into a stream of liquid and part to waste. The jet of soda flows from a reservoir 1 through a tube 12, shown on an enlarged scale in Fig. 6, the tube being connected to a diaphragm 5 by an arm 13. A stream of water from a reservoir 24 passes through a rectangular channel 27, Figs. 2 and 8, in which is secured an obstruction 28 so as to form a cavity 29 in the stream of water. A hole 30 is bored in this cavity, and the soda jet 31 is arranged to fall through a glass tube 22 on the lower edge of this hole, so that part of the jet passes through the hole to waste and part flows into the stream of water. Vibration of the diaphragm 5 varies these proportions. Numerous other modifications are described, among which are the following: (1) a screen actuated by the sound waves mav divert more or less of a stream of soda from an aperture through which it enters a stream of water; (2) the stream of water may fall on concentric or other electrodes; (3) additional electrodes may be used to allow the signals to be reinforced by the heating effect on the water of currents passed between these additional electrodes; (4) the electrodes may consist of moving bands, disks, or drums; (5) the stream of soda may be supplied to a travelling band of moistened fabric or water to a band of fabric impregnated with soda.

Granted: 1915-09-23
Abstract: 23,319. Leake, T. C. Nov. 30. Actuating.-In internal-combustion engines, a thermally-actuated valve is employed to cut off the direct fuel supply to the engine when the temperature of the fuel has risen sufficiently to permit of its use in the carburettor. Fuel from the supply tank enters the casing 12 at 21, passes through the narrow annular space between the tubes 15, 16 and through a passage 24 to the chamber 23 and leaves by the outlet 22 for the carburettor. The chamber 23 has a pocket 26, Figs. 2 and 4, connected through the pipe 25 with the induction pipe. This pipe is controlled by a valve 28, Fig. 4, on a float 27 which is loosely connected to the junction 34 of two steel rods 31, 32 attached at their other ends to the (brass) casing 12. Thus, as the temperature of the fuel rises, the junction 34 is raised and the fuel supply to the induction pipe ultimately cut off. To prevent fuel from being supplied when the engine is stopped, the pipe 2.5 is provided with a valve 40, Fig. 5, a weight 39 on which keeps the valve closed against the fuel pressure, and is perforated at 42 to permit of the fuel flowing when the valve is open.
