Title: Improvements in and relating to Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: HAMILTON OSWALD
Filed: 1906-02-26
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 4655. Hamilton, O., and Hesketh, Sir T. G. F. Sept. 26. Gas and like engines, reversing. Four-strokecycle engines are reversed by altering the time of firing and exhausting. The time of exhausting is altered by sliding the exhaust-cam shaft so as to bring another set of cams under the exhaust valve tappets. The cylinders c are arranged in tandem and are provided with water jackets o and lubricating-devices l, l<1>. The exhaust-valve spindles v<1>, v<2>, v<3>, v<4> are actuated by the cams k<1>, k<2>, k<3>, k<4> when the engine is running in the forward direction and by cams k<5> when reversed. These cams are on a shaft s, which can be slid axially by the lever w pivoted at w<1> to a collar on a parallel rocking shaft s'. To reverse the engine, the lever w is raised so as to cause the collars x through the tappets t to raise all the exhaust valves. If the inlet valves are mechanically operated, their cams are placed on a shaft parallel to the shaft s and connected to it in any simple manner so as to be actuated simultaneously with it. When the engine has slowed down sufficiently, the lever is depressed and moved laterally to bring the cams k<5> into action. At the same time, the ignition is advanced so that firing will take place on the compression stroke, by which means the engine is reversed.

Title: Improved Cross or Doup Weave.
Inventor: AINLEY JOHN SHAW
Filed: 1906-03-01
Granted: 1907-01-03
Abstract: 4978. Ainley, J. S. March 1. Gauze, leno, or cross-woven fabrics ; loom sheddiggmotions ; healds.- For cross-weaving, the doup healds are arranged somewhat in the manner described in Specification No. 908, A.D. 1874, in order that equal tension may be put on each crossing thread, and easing-motions may be dispensed with. Two top doups 1, 8 with plain healds 2, 7, and two bottom doups 4, 5 with plain healds 3, 6, are employed. The crossing thread A is threaded through the front top doup 1, crossed over the adjacent crossing thread B, and threaded through the back top doup 8, while the thread B is similarly threaded through the bottom doups 4, 5. The doups, which may be in the form of healds or harness cords, are raised and lowered independently according to the design to be produced, and any number of plain healds or harness cords may be employed to shed the ground warps. The threads A are crossed over one or more warps on the surface of the fabric, while the threads B are simultaneously moved across the back of the fabric in the opposite direction, so that the pattern is produced on both sides oE the fabric. By linking together healds which are raised and lowered simultaneously, such as the healds 1, 8 and 4, 5, six healds only may be used. Two or more sets of doups, each comprising two top and two bottom doups, may be employed. The doups may be of any ordinary construction, and the loops through which the doups work may be made of wire or worsted, or may consist of mails. A plain gauze weave is shown in Fig. 2, iu which the numerals denote the raised healds. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that a variety of designs may be produced by the crossing warps similar to those usually produced by a weft, and the waste of silk or other special yarn, which has at times to be floated on the back of the fabric, is avoided ; also that the doups may be worked to produce, in conjunction with one set of crossing threads, small or filling points or spots, which are formed by the other crossing threads.

Patent GB-190612895-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Starters for Electro-motors.
Inventor: HARRIS LEONARD
Filed: 1906-06-02
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 12,895. Harris, L. June 2. Switches.-Relates to a motor starter in which a dash-pot falling by gravity is used to cut out the resistance, the closing of the circuit and the release of the pot being caused by a half turn of a spindle. The resistance coils are connected up between metal contacts 4, and are supported by tubes 3. A spindle 6 passing through a sleeve 8 is turned by a 'wheel 5, and actuates a crank 7, the rotation of the spindle being confined to half a turn by a pin 9. When the spindle 6 is turned from its normal position, a bowl on the crank 7 closes the main switch 17, and simultaneously the bowl 13 on the crank 7 releases the dash-pot 14. Crossbars 22, 23 fitted with carbon brushes 30 guide the dash-pot while falling, the rate of falling being regulated by means of a tap 16 in the pipe 15, through which glycerine or some liquid is caused to flow. When the main switch 17 is closed, the novoltage release 26 is making contact with the circuit-breaker 27, this breaker being kept pressed home when the dash-pot begins to move, by the expanding spring 29, until the magnet is strong enough to keep it home. If the current is interrupted in any way, the no-voltage release coil 28 is shunt-circuited and the circuitbreaker 27 falls, the circuit only being made when the starter is brought to zero. If the motor is overloaded, the overload release coil 35 attracts the release contact 36, and short-circuits the' novoltage release coil 29, when the circuit-breaker acts as before.

Title: Improvements in Continuous or Alternating Current Electrical Machines with Commutating Poles
Inventor: ARNOLD ENGELBERT
Filed: 1906-06-27
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 14,712. Arnold, E. Oct. 20, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Field magnets; sparking, preventing.-Some of the commutating-poles of continuous-current or alternating-current machines provided with drum windings may be dispensed with by causing the necessary electromotive force to be induced in one side only of a coil short-circuited at the brushes. The poles, under which the remaining sides of the short-circuited coils lie, are so formed and excited that the action of all the poles on the shortcircuited coils varies proportionally with the armature current. As shown in Fig. 2, commutating-poles n, s are placed in alternate pole-spaces, and act upon one side only of the coils undergoing commutation. The tips B of the main poles which do not lie near a commutating-pole are strongly saturated and shaped as shown, and the commutating-poles are strongly excited to compensate for the demagnetizing effect of the armature current upon the commutating-field. If the machine is to be run in both directions, two pole-tips A, B are shaped in this manner. To compensate for the effect of leakage and saturation, the pole-tips A, B may be shaped as shown in Fig. 4, and may be provided with a winding w in series with the windings on the commutating-poles, or in ordinary machines with a commutating-pole in each polar space, one-half of the commutiting-poles may be unmagnetized or only slightly magnetized while the others are correspondingly more strongly excited. The unmagnetized poles act like the pole-tips B of Fig. 2. In a wave-wound armature having only two brushes, it is possible to dispense with the whole of the commutating-poles except one, which is sufficiently excited to induce in one coil side the necessary electromotive force for the whole of the short-circuited coils connected in series.

Abstract: 22,398. Rßcz, J., and SzÚkely, F. Oct. 10. Bobbin, spool, &c. holders and cases. -In closet seat-guards, a perforated strip of paper is caused to pass from a roll at one side of the seat to a drum at the other. The drum is surrounded by a casing slotted for the entry of the paper, and it may be turned by an ordinary handle, or as shown in Fig. 2 when the amount of travel of the paper is to be regulated. A disk 11 having a stop 10 is fixed to the drum, and a spring pawl 12 is fixed to the shaft 9. The paper is moved forwards a constant distance on pulling tight a band spring 13 attached to the shaft. In a modification, Fig. 4, the paper is wound on the shaft 9. The shaft is actuated by a cord 26 and pulley 25, the motion of which is communicated to the drum 4 through a pawl 21 and ratchet-wheel 22, paper being thereupon wound upon the drum. When the cord is released, the drum revolves backwards under the influence of the spring 27, and, by means of a planet-wheel 16, wheels 17, 18, and a pawl 19, causes the shaft to rotate and wind up the paper, preferably upon a sleeve 23. In order to prevent tearing, the sleeve is rotated through frictional contact with the shaft. Another device for this purpose is shown in Fig. 6. The band is carried over rollers 36 and thence to a gripping-device consisting of a block 39 sliding in a slot 38 and a gripper pivoted to the block, the device being raised by means of cords 26 passing round pulleys 25, Fig. 4.
