Abstract: 22,800. Newton, J. O. Oct. 16. Lateral-splash guards K for the wheels of road vehicles are mounted on a bar D upon the axle or axle post in such a manner that they are capable of rising to pass over obstacles on the ground, and also of moving laterally under the action of pressure from kerbstones. The guard is carried by rods J projecting into casings H pivoted to adjustable sockets F upon depending rods E, springs I being provided to keep the guard normally in its outermost position. In order that the guard may readily lift to ride over stones, the lower front and rear ends are rounded, and rollers M are provided upon the rods J to have contact with the tyre when the guard is lifted to that extent. According to the Provisional Specification, (1) the front end of the guard has a small projection inclining forwards and coming under the wheel to remove obstacles; (2) there may be two depending rods at each end of the bar, one rod being connected to the mud-guard and the other provided with a casing enclosing a spring and furnished with a head projecting to the outside of the wheel to form a buffer; (3) or one rod of a springy nature and connected to the guard by a broad link may be used at each end of the bar in such a manner as to take up side thrusts and to allow the guard to rise and fall in passing over stones.

Title: Lubricator.
Inventor: THOMAS JOHN MOSES SHARWOOD
IPC: F16N13/00
Filed: 1912-04-02
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 7918. Thomas, J. M. S. April 2. Revolving-cylinder pumps. - In a force-feed lubricator, a main oil-reservoir 1 contains a cup-shaped body 4 in which a hollow cylindrical valve 9 rotates. One or more holes 10 in this valve register with a series of holes in the body 4, some of which communicate with the reservoir 1, while the alternate holes 7 extend through bosses 5 to the exterior. A hollow spindle 14 is oscillated through a definite angle by means of a lever 17 connected to some moving part of the engine; and this spindle carries an arm 18 provided at the end with a spring-pressed pawl 21, which engages with a series of notches on the ratchet-wheel 19, the number of notches being equal to the number of holes in the cup-shaped body. Another spring-pressed pawl 22 is situated opposite to the pawl 21 to prevent reverse rotation of the ratchet-wheel. Integral with the ratchet-wheel is a stem 13, itself attached to the valve 9, in which stem a piston 24 moves, a projection 25 on the piston engaging with a slot in the stem 13 so that rotation of the stem also rotates the spindle and at the same time permits a rectilinear movement of the piston. Above the upper end of the spindle 14, the piston is provided with two transverse members 30, carrying pins 35, and an upward prolongation 31. The pins 35 move in a camgroove 36 contained in the cover 32, the groove being formed with four depressions 38 corresponding with the openings 7 from the valve. As now the lever 17 oscillates through a definite angle, the spindle 14 rotates to-andfro and by the pawl 21 and ratchet-wheel 19 imparts a step-by-step movement to the valve 9. At the same time, the piston 24 is compelled to rotate, but on the pin 35 sinking into a depression 38 in the groove 36, the piston 24 is depressed, and oil is expelled from the valve through the hole 10, which now registers with the channel 7. As the cylindrical valve further rotates, the hole 10 registers with a hole making communication with the reservoir, and oil is sucked into the valve though the piston makes no rectilinear movement; and so the action is repeated. The pipes 40, which are provided with back-pressure valves, have fitted to them small chambers 39 for the regulation of the oil; an auxiliary handle 41 is provided for flushing at starting.

Title: Improvements in Engine Valves and Valve Gear.
Filed: 1912-10-28
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 24,648. Marks, E. C. R., [Blake & Knowles Steam Pump Works]. Oct. 28. Combined fluid-actuated and mechanical gears. -The main slide valve 16 is actuated by a piston 17 working in a cylinder 18, to which steam is distributed by an auxiliary valve 19 on a reciprocating rod 21. The passage of steam through the valve 16 to the main cylinder 10 is controlled by a cut-off valve 34, 35 also mounted on the rod 21. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the cut-off valve is in two parts 34,35 carried on oppositelythreaded nuts 46, 47 on the rod 21 so as to allow of adjustment to vary the expansion. The valve 19 is actuated, with lost motion, by blocks 48 on the rod. In the position shown, the lefthand end of cylinder 18 is open to steam through ports 24, and the corresponding end of the main cylinder is receiving steam through the ports 26, 27, 13, 29. At a given point in the stroke, the rod 21 is moved to the right, the valve 34 closing the port 26. At a later point, the auxiliary valve 19 changes over the ports 24, 25 to reverse the piston 17 and main valve 16. If an adjustable cut-off is not required, the valve ports 34, 35 may be secured directly to the rod 21 ; or, as shown in Fig. 7, a single valve may be adapted to control both the auxiliary and cut-off ports on the back of the main slide valve. In either arrangement, steam may be admitted for the full stroke through valve-controlled passages 51 leading the main valve.

Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 3409. Marks, E. C. R , [Badische Maschinenfabrik & Eisengiesserei vorm. G. Sebold und Sebold & Neff]. May 23. Sand - blast. - In a sand-blast wherein the sand is supplied into an intermediate chamber 8 which is alternately put into communication with the atmosphere and with a pressure chamber 10 and the blast pressure pipe, the supply of sand into the intermediate chamber being shut off while the sand already in that chamber passes into the pressure chamber, the sand is fed into the apparatus in such manner that its weight is used for effecting the alterations in the connexions. The sand, delivered through a sieve 2 into a hopper 1, passes through a tap or cock 3 with outlets 4 into a tipping tray or pan 5 which is adapted to turn about an horizontal axis under the action of the weight of the sand in one or the other half of the pan. The tilting of the pan is used to operate the regulating-parts, and for this purpose the pivot of the pan may be fitted with a crank 15, Fig. 2, to engage the neck of a piston 17, so that when the crank presses the piston to its lowest position, the intermediate chamber is put into communication with the pressure chamber through the pipes 20, 22. The valve 7 then closes and the valve 9 opens under the weight of the sand in the intermediate chamber. The tilting of the pan to the other side causes the crank to raise the piston clear of the opening 19 and into the opening 20<1>, and the chamber 8 is then cut off from the pressure chamber and opened to the atmosphere so that the valve 9 shuts and the valve 7 opens. The compressed air is supplied through a pipe 21, and runs through the branch 22 of the pipe 20 into the chamber 10. The pressure in this chamber drives the sand through the opening 11 into the tubes 12, 13 and mouthpiece 14, from which the blast is allowed to play on to the object to be cleaned. A trap 23 serves to free the compressed air from water.

Filed: 1913-08-21
Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 3849. Verein fur Chemische Industrie in Mainz. Feb. 29, 1912, [Convention date]. Acetates.-Cellulose acetate soluble in ethyl acetate to a very viscous solution is prepared by heating a solution of cellulose acetate soluble in choroform or acetone, the solution containing water but no hydrolytically-acting substance. The heating is carried out at a high temperature, and is continued until a sample dissolves in ethyl acetate. In examples, the acetate is heated with 90-95 per cent acetic or formic acid to temperatures of 100-110‹ C. Or the crude mass of the acidylizing process may be treated directly, but in this case the contact substance must be rendered harmless by a suitable addition. For example, the crude mass is diluted with 50 per cent of acetic acid to bring the acetic acid present to 90 per cent strength, and sodium acetate is added to neutralize the action of the sulphuric acid used as contact agent, and the heating continued at 105-110‹ C. ; or if zinc chloride is used as the contact agent, ammonia is added with the acetic acid. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) refers also to the production of fatty acid esters of cellulose, other than cellulose acetate, soluble in ethyl acetate. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
