Patent GB-190810834-A (GB)
Title: Internal Combustion Engine.
Inventor: WHITE HENRY SIDNEY
Filed: 1908-05-19
Granted: 1909-05-19
Abstract: 10,834. White, H. S. May 19. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-In engines using compression pumps and working with gas or heavy oils, the capacity of the combustion chamber, which is formed between the pump and the working cylinder, is maintained contant during combustion. This is effected in the two-stroke-cycle road-vehicle and marine engine shown in Figs. 1 and 2 by the provision of links 11, 12, 14 between the pump piston 10 and its corresponding crank, which increase the motion of the piston towards the end of the charging-stroke. The driving-links also retard the motion of the pump piston while the working piston 8 is finishing its in-stroke. The pump is charged through a valve 17, and discharges through a cam -actuated or automatic valve 20 when the working piston reaches the end of its exhaust stroke. In this position, shown in Fig. 2, the charge is ignited, either by the heat of compression, in which case a small quantity of combustion products is retained in the cylinder, or otherwise, while the two pistons move.in opposite directions but maintain constant, until the closing of the discharge valve 20, the combustion space formed between them. To ensure the expulsion of the combustion products, an exhaust valve 18 is provided in the cylinder head and the clearance space is reduced to a minimum. In the preferred construction of engine the capacity of the working cylinder and the stroke of the power piston are greater than those of the pump. If desired, the retarding-links may form the driving- gear of the working cylinder.

Abstract: 18,793. Butterfield, C. Sept. 8. Platen presses ; inking-apparatus.-In a platen press, the ink-distributing disk 11 with its driving and supporting mechanism is pivoted to the top of the bed 1, so that it can be raised and lowered in such a way as to keep the tension on the travelling inking-roller guide springs approximately constant. In one form the frame 12 carrying the disk 11 is coupled by a link 14 to a lever 18 fixed to the cross-bar coupling the guides 8 which carry the inking-roller, so that, as the rollers move along the disk 11, it is gradually lowered. In another form of machine this operation is performed by a cam. Springs may be used to balance the weight of the disk &c. The lever 16 carrying the actuating-pawl may be worked from a cam formed on the lever 18. The position of the ductor roll 22 and inking-rollers 7 may be so arranged, that when the impression is tripped, which occurs when the movement of a sliding rod 20 is arrested, and the shaft 4 turned through a lever 21, the carrying-arms 8 are not moved round sufficiently far to allow the rollers 7, 22 to touch, so that no ink is fed.
