Patent GB-190424476-A (GB)
Title: Method of Regulating Descending Automobiles and Valve Gear therefor.
Inventor: SAURER HIPPOLYT
Filed: 1904-11-11
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 24,476. Saurer, H. Nov. 11. Motor road vehicles.-The speed of an automobile having a four-stroke. cycle explosion motor is regulated while descending inclines by causing compression in the cylinders at every return stroke and effecting this compression by shifting the cams operating the exhaust valves. Fig. 2 shows in full lines the normal position, and in dotted lines the shifted' position, of the cam 3 operating the exhaust valve relative to the cam 2 operating the admission valve. The crank driving the cam shaft 1 revolves twice as fast as the latter. Rotation of the shaft 1 &c. through the angle G, H causes admission, and the out-stroke of the piston ; during rotation through the angle H, I, compression takes place, which exercises a braking action. Instead of ignition taking place during rotation from I to K when descending inclines, the supply of fuel is stopped and the shifted cam 3 operates the exhaust valve during the out-stroke the compressed air is thus released, and, during the latter part of the stroke, air is admitted by suction being afterwards compressed during the fourth or in-stroke of the cycle during rotation of the shaft from K to G. For various inclines, the cam 3 may be shifted through different angles. Preferably, the outlet cams 3 are arranged on a separate shaft to the inlet cams. Fig. 4 shows the exhaust valve gear for a motor with four cylinders. A sleeve 17 splined on one end of the hollow cam shaft 12 has screwed upon it a wheel 19, which is driven from the crank shaft at half the crankshaft speed. A rod 29 passing through the shaft 12 is pinned to the sleeve 17, and can be moved axially by the driver by means of the system of levers shown on the right hand of the Figure. This causes relative movement of the cams 3 to the wheel 19, and also to the inlet cams. The rod 29 may be dispensed with, and the bell crank 33 operate directly on the sleeve 17 if the disposition of the parts is suitable.

Abstract: 8744. Meyenberg, A., Weizmann, C., and Clayton Aniline Co. April 25. Dyes, artificial; chloranthracenes; chlor- and nitrochlor-anthraquinones. - Anthracene is treated with chlorine in presence of lead peroxide. The amount of chlorine taken up increases with the temperature. Tetrachloranthracene extracted from the melt by means of benzene, crystallizes therefrom in yellow needles melting at 152‹ C. By fractional crystallization, a hexachloranthracene melting at 277‹ C., and a heptachloranthacene melting at 232‹ C., can be obtained from the residue of the melt. By oxidation, the above products each lose two chlorine atoms and yield chloranthraquinones. By treatment with sulphuric and nitric acids the tetra- and hexa-chloranthracenes yield, respectively, dichlor- and tetrachlor-nitroanthraquinooes. The heptachloranthracene yields pentachloranthraquinone. The nitrochloranthraquinones when treated at the ordinary temperature with fuming sulphuric acid, with or without boric acid, yield dyes.
