Patent GB-190728327-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Rotary Motor.
Inventor: COSSERAT WILLFORD ARTHUR PELOQ
Filed: 1907-12-24
Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 28,327. Cosserat, W. A. P. Dec. 24 Movable-abutment type, hinged or rocking abutments. An explosive mixture is admitted to a chamber 11 and exploded, whereupon it presses the rocking abutment 31 down into contact with the rotor drum, and acting upon a piston block 7, rotates the rotor. For reverse running, the mixture is admitted to a chamber 11<a> and exploded, pressing the opposite end of the rocking abutment down. Three abutments and two piston blocks are used. Steam may be used instead of an explosive mixture. The admission to each chamber is controlled by one or other of valves 10, 10<a>, according to the direction of running. The valve is operated by a three-armed lever 15, 17, pivotally connected to a lever 19, which is struck twice each revolution of 'the rotor by tappets 20, 21. The abutment spindles carry levers 40, the rollers 41 of which run on tracks shaped to operate the levers to rock the abutments into their mid-positions when the piston blocks are passing. The forward tracks 43, 43<a> are separated laterally from the reversing tracks 42, 42<a> so as to operate the forward rollers only, and vice versa. The explosive mixture is compressed in three reciprocating-piston pumps 4, the crank-shafts of which are geared to the rotor shaft. A disk 36 is mounted in a circular race made up of two plates 35, and carries contactpieces 49. For forward running, the disk is rotated slightly in a clockwise direction so that the pieces 49 contact with the plates 50 and, when the projections 61 on the rotor shaft come round, complete the circuit of the sparking-plug 44. For reverse running, the pieces 49 are rotated backwards into contact with the other plates 50 and provide for sparking at the other plugs. The levers 19, which operate the admission valves, are made in two parts, one part sliding upon the other. When the disk 36 is in mid-position, cam-plates 37 bear upon the bent-over portions 12 of the outer lever parts and hold the levers out of the path of the tappets 20, 21. In this position, the rotor may be turned by hand and the gases compressed in the cylinder 4 prior to starting. Stops 26, 27 limit the movement of the tappets 20, 21, so that the proper pair automatically come into action when the rotor is started. Tappets of the shape shown in dotted lines are used when the motive fluid is steam. The rotor is deeply dished. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the space between the drum and the casing may be filled with water for cooling purposes.

Abstract: 5015. Karrison, G., [Electric Railway Improvement Co.]. March 5. Working by electricity; welding; soldering and brazing.-In making homogeneous junctions between two metallic bodies as in bonding rails or similar conductors by an electric current, the bodies are first soldered or brazed together by a heating electric current and then welded by a voltaic arc. This process admits of the efficient use of a laminated or loosely-wound bond. The bond A' is clamped to the polished surface of the rail, solder or braze and flux being interposed between the two surfaces. The welding-arm C', which may be mounted together with a transformer and rotary converter on a truck having an arm engaging the trolly wire, carries a block c<1> of carbon or other high resistance material. The other arm C' has a copper block c<2> to rest on the brightly worn surface of the rail. The bond is first soldered, the block c' being in contact with the rail, and the block is then drawn back from the bond to create an arc which welds the bond. The finished bond is shown at the right-hand side of Fig. 4.

Abstract: 8705. Mills, B. J. B., [Dick Co., A. B.]. April 21. Feeding sheets.-Relates to means for feeding sheets to printing, folding, and like machines, described as applied to stencil duplicating - apparatus. The stencil drum C is mounted in the main frame A and is rotated by means of gearing c, c<1> and a handle c<2>. The pressure roller D is mounted in arms d and is tripped by means of an eccentric d<2>. The feed-board comprises a wooden board E and a metal extension e, the latter being formed with apertures to accommodate sectional feed-rollers F, F<1> connected by gearing and driven by means of a oneway clutch from the drum C. Between the sections of the rollers F, F<1> the plate e is provided with additional recesses to accommodate a number of plates G, which slide above two transverse strips e', e<2> and are secured to a third transverse strip g<1>. Each plate G is recessed to accommodate the forward end of a series of stops H secured to a bar g<3> attached to the strip g<1> and formed with a bend h<1> coacting with a strip h, so that as the strips reciprocate they are caused to rise and fall. Pivoted to the ends'of the strips g<1> are arms i depending from a plate I, which is formed with projecting fingers i<1> co - operating with the plates G and forming the upper jaw of the grippers. Pins i<3> on the arms i rest in forked ends of levers J, which are pivoted on a rod d' and are oscillated by a cam-groove k<2> on the end of the drum C. The cam is adjustable relatively to the cylinder by means of a slot-and-bolt connexion k. In operation, the sheet is fed over the feed-board E, up to the stops H, which are in the raised position. As the drum C rotates, the lever J is oscillated and rocks the arms i on the pivots g<5> until the fingers i<1> contact with the plates G, gripping the sheet between them. The continued motion of the levers J causes the plates G, fingres i<1> and stops H to move forward together, the curved ends h<1> of the stops H causing them to be depressed to allow the sheet to pass between the rollers F, F<1>, which feed it on to the drum C. During the return motion, the grippers are opened and the stops H are elevated ready for the next sheet.

Abstract: 15,285. Sakuma, S. Sept 19, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Gas and like engines.- In a revolving - cylinder engine, four ribbed cylinders 4 cast in one piece with a hub 2 are fixed to a shaft 1. The pistons 14 carry rollers 16, 19, which run on an elliptical guide 24. The explosion mixture is admitted to and exhausted from the cylinders through ports 6 by means of a fixed distributor 10, which embraces the extension 5 of the cylinder casting. As shown in Fig. 6 the gases are admitted through the passage 11, and are ignited by a device placed in the recess 12, the products of combustion being exhausted through the passage 13. The pistons make two inward and two outward strokes per revolution of the cylinders and work on the fourstroke cycle. The guide 24 may be unsymmetrical so as to give longer strokes for exhaust and suction than for compression and expansion, or so as to make the four strokes all of different lengths, the longest being for exhaust, the next for suction and compression respectively, and the shortest for expansion. A fan 25 is mounted to revolve on the shaft and is rotated in the opposite direction to the cylinders through bevel-wheels B. Fig. 3 shows the construction of the pistons. The roller 19 is mounted in a recess 18 upon balls 23, which run upon blocks 22 fixed in the transverse hole 20. The rollers 16, which run on the outer surface of the flanges of the guide 24, are carried by lugs 15.
