Title: Improvements in Electrical Ignition Apparatus for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: MIDGLEY ALBERT HENRY
IPC: F02P5/06
Filed: 1911-09-28
Granted: 1912-07-18
Abstract: 21,441. Midgley, A. H., and Vandervell, C. A. Sept. 28. Transformers.-Relates to electrical ignition devices for internal-combustion engines, of the kind in which a magneto and also a battery and coil are employed, and consists in arranging the coil, condenser, and terminal plate within a cylindrical casing fixed to the dashboard of a motor vehicle, while the distributing switch plate carrying the trembler and push-button is movable relatively to the casing. A cylindrical fibre casing a containing the ignition coil and condenser is provided with a metal flange b fixed to the dashboard, through a hole in which the tube a projects. Within one end of the fibre tube is fitted an insulating terminal plate c carrying contacts 1 for engaging those on the distributing switch plate, and also plug terminals 2 for connecting to the magneto and battery. The iron core d passes through the terminal plate and is flush with the surface. At the other end of the casing, a terminal 3 is provided for connecting to the frame of the vehicle to form a return circuit. Sliding in a groove inside the flange b is the distributing switch plate e of insulating material, on the underside of which are mounted contacts engaging those on the terminal plate c , and which carries the trembler f and push-button g for starting. An outer metal plate h, provided with a handle i and lock j for the ' off ' position, is secured to the distributing-switch plate, thus completely enclosing the switch plate e. When the handle i is moved, the contacts on the plate e make connexion with the contacts 1 on the terminal plate c, and in the position M the magneto is connected up and the coil disconnected. In the ' off ' position O, both coil and magneto are disconnected, and in the position A, the coil is connected up with the accumulators and the magneto is disconnected.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Projectiles.
IPC: F42B12/38
Filed: 1911-10-30
Granted: 1912-10-30
Abstract: 24,046. Semple Co., J. B., [Semple, J. B.]. Oct. 30. Projectiles.-Relates to devices for indicating the trajectory of a projectile by a trail of flame or smoke produced by the combustion of a material such as a mixture of magnesium, gunpowder, an oxidizing - agent, and a binding- agent, such as shellac, resin, or linseed oil. According to the invention, the material is compressed to a high pressure, approaching or exceeding the pressure of the gun gases, so as not to be ignited without being disintegrated or exploded, when the gun is fired, and to burn slowly during flight. To facilitate ignition, a small part 3<b>, Fig. 4, at the rear end of the material 3 is made more inflammable by using slightly different proportions or substances, or by compressing it to a less extent. The composition is normally protected by a disk 4<b>, which 'is easily burnt or broken by the gun gases, and is preferably placed at a short distance from the composition.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Appliances for Fastening Railway Carriage or other similar Doors.
Inventor: DONKIN JOHN
IPC: E05B65/42
Filed: 1912-06-18
Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 14,186. Donkin, J. June 18. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Railway-carriage doors and the like; fastening automatically.-A device for automatically fastening railway-carriage and other doors comprises a trailer a provided with wheels a<1> and mounted on an axle a<2>, which is capable of rising in slotted bearings a<3>. The upper arm a<4> of the trailer has projecting lugs a<6> which engage a roller a<5> on the longitudinal rods b. These rods b carry twin plates b<1>, which obstruct the plates b<2> on the door when the longitudinal rods are moved in either direction, or the horizontal motion of the rods b may be converted into the vertical motion of a locking-bolt in any suitable way. The trailer maintains its vertical position until the train attains such a speed that the weight of the trailer is overcome by the resistance of the wheels on the metals, whereupon the trailer swings out of the vertical, and the horizontal rods are operated. To allow the doors to be opened while the train is in motion, a footpedal c<2>, Fig. 2, pivoted at c', is provided, which, on depression by the guard, raises the axle a<2> and trailer a clear of the metals and thus permits it to resume its vertical or unbraking position. A ratchet c<3> is provided to retain the pedal c in any desired position. By the use of rising hinges, or inclined planes at the knuckle joints, the doors close themselves by their own weight, and this automatic return of the door is facilitated bv the introduction of ball bearings at the knuckles of the hinges.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Acetylene Gas Generators.
Inventor: MAGNUS LEONARD ARTHUR
IPC: C10H5/00
Filed: 1912-10-10
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 23,172. Magnus, L. A. Oct. 10. Liquid-supply valves actuated through diaphragms; liquid-supply controlled by variations of gas pressure.-An acetylene generator, in which the liquid-supply valve is operatively connected to a diaphragm under gas pressure, is provided with an expansion chamber of comparatively large capacity and communicating with the generating-chamber through a passage open at all times but of restricted size, so that a sudden generation of gas immediately acts on the diaphragm before escaping to the expansion chamber. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the expansion chamber d surrounds the generating-chamber b and communicates with it through holes 5. Water is supplied to the carbide through a valve o mounted on a diaphragm q, and the pressure of gas communicated through a tube z acts on the diaphragm against a spring w. The end u of the valve is squared and works in the cover v so as to prevent rotation, and the valve may be held in a closed position by a nut x screwed to its exposed end. The carbide in this construction is arranged on trays f, which are inserted in the bottom of the generator. In a second construction, the generating-chamber b, Fig. 3, is immersed in the water contained in the chamber c, and the expansion chamber d is formed above the water. chamber. The water valve 15 is arranged at the bottom of the generating-chamber and is actuated from the diaphragm q through levers and linkages 9, 11, 12, 14 enclosed in a chamber y.

Title: A Process for Casting Ingots or other Castings.
Inventor: MELAUN FRANZ
IPC: B22D7/02
Filed: 1913-04-10
Granted: 1914-06-10
Abstract: 8490. Melaun, F. April 10. Casting processes; moulds.-In casting compound ingots, the metal is cast in successive layers after each preceding layer has solidified up to a certain height, thus increasing the opportunity for bubbles &c. to rise to the surface. The ingots may be employed in the manufacture of rails, bars, plates, sheets, &c. As applied to the casting of a compound ingot of hard steel and soft iron, the steel is first poured, and then the iron in such manner that the layers are uoited by an intermediate layer in which the steel and iron are intimately mixed. If the iron is introduced rapidly, it displaces steel from the centre and causes a trough-like junction between the layers. The mould is preferably an iron chill open at the ends and placed on an iron baseplate. The lower portion is made as thick as possible and may be cooled from the interior. The wall of the mould at the upper portion is of less thickness and is of such a nature that heat is carried off only very slowly. Specification 2216/73, which describes the casting of a compound ingot of copper and brass with an intermediate zone in which the metals are mixed, is referred to. According to the Provisional Specification, if the upper part of the metal first poured should cool down so far that a crust is formed, an electric arc or alumino-thermic mixture is employed to melt it again. Further, to prevent the trough-like junction becoming too marked, an intermediate inlet pipe may be provided between the ladle and the surface of the first-poured metal. Such a pipe may be fitted either on the ladle or the upper edge of the mould and may be bent laterally at its lower part. Also, the process is stated to be applicable to copper, tin, lead, and platinum.
