Patent GB-190820348-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Gas Lighting and Extinguishing Apparatus.
Inventor: BONNIKSEN BAHNE
Filed: 1908-09-28
Granted: 1909-08-19
Abstract: 20,348. Bonniksen, B., and Berridge, T. Sept. 28. Lighting and extinguishing gas.-Relates to gas lighting and extinguishing apparatus, particularly of the type described in Specification No. 12,619, A.D. 1907, in which a rocker such as F<2> contained in a gas chamber G is adapted, under the influence of increases of pressure, to cover and uncover alternately pipes leading to the pilot jet and burner. To prevent accidental movement, of the mechanism through slight fluctuations in pressure, a pivoted weight M rests in front of a tooth of the driving-wheel H. The weight may be supplemented by a spring. The weight has therefore to be raised at each action of the mechanism. The . action of the pilot valve is supplemented by a needle valve K carried by the operating-spindle G<2>, so that, as the chamber rises, the valve K is lifted off its seat and a sufficient supply of gas to the pilot ensured. Where the mechanism is arranged to be operated as the bell G falls, the valve is lifted through an arrangement of levers.

Floors; ceilings; reinforced concrete.-Relates to concrete floors &c. of the type in which the reinforcing-bars are suspended from metal joists by means of stirrups. Fig. 1 shows a floor reinforced by cruciform bars c, shown also in Fig. 3 ; a modified form of bar is shown in Fig. 4. In both forms, the horizontal member may be increased in cross-sectional area at its junction with the vertical member. The stirrups are narrower above the bars c, and are slotted so that the bars bed at the bottoms of the slots ; spaces e are left at the side to key the concrete. The soffits of the joists are protected by concrete slabs h, Fig. 5, suspended from the lower flanges by bending over the galvanized hoop iron bars l, and having an air space i and bevelled edges k. The concrete filling f, g is applied by means of temporary centering. The flooring n may consist of granolithic stone, asphalt, tiles, cement, or wood. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the stirrups are longer and support the floor bars c and ceiling bars v, the latter being of cruciform or other shape in section. Expanded metal o forms a key for the plaster under the joists.

Abstract: 6461. Marks, E. C. R., [Soc. des Ateliers Carels FrÞres, and Schneider et Cie]. March 15. Reversing.-In reversing-gear in which the cam shaft is shifted axially to adjust the timing of the admission valves, the scavenging-valve cams are mounted on a shaft which is not adapted for axial movement. The fuel-valve lever 3 and the compressed-air valve lever 4 are mounted on an eccentric shaft 5 and are actuated by cams on the shaft 2. The scavenging-valve lever 6 is actuated by a cam on the shaft 1. The shaft 5 may be adjusted angularly, and has three positions. In the central one, neither valve lever is in contact with its cam. In the extreme positions, either the fuel valve or the compressed-air valve is actuated. To reverse the engine, the levers 3, 4 are put out of action while the cam shaft 2 is adjusted axially. Compressed air is then admitted to oppose forward running and to start the engine backwards. The shaft 5 is then adjusted to its other extreme position and fuel is admitted. The exhaust-valve cam is loose on the shaft 1 and is driven by a pin working in a slot so that the cam is automatically adjusted angularly for either direction of running.
