Granted: 1901-08-31
Abstract: 17,861. Brellier, J., and Marius, E. Oct. 8. Gas and like engines.-The suction and compression strokes of a four-stroke motor may be adjusted without altering the expansion and exhaust strokes. The piston 2 is connected to a block 5, which can be adjusted in a link 4, one end of which is connected to the main crank 9 by a rod 8, and works in a guide 7, the other, end of which is connected to a crank 13 on a half-speed shaft 14. The block 5 is adjusted by a link 17 and lever 18, and, when it is at the bottom of the link 4, the piston receives no movement during the suction and compression stroke, while in every position of the block the link moves bodily in the direction of the axis of the cylinder during the expansion and exhaust strokes. The latter movement may be rendered more accurate by substituting a cam for the crank.

Title: Improvements in the Purification of Brine
Inventor: VIS GERHARD NICOLAAS
Filed: 1901-01-04
Granted: 1901-11-09
Abstract: 276. Vis, G. N. Jan. 4. Salt, common.-Relates to purifying brine, especially from dissolved calcium sulphate. Ammonium carbonate is used to throw out the calcium as carbonate, ammonium sulphate also forming.

Abstract: 1850. Werner, W. A. P. Jan. 26. Yarns and threads.-Relates to apparatus for the production of filaments, for use as a substitute for silk or hair, from solutions of cellulose in the solution of a zinc salt such as the nitrate or chloride. The solution of the zinc salt has preferably a specific gravity of about 1À8, and the cellulose solution is made at a temperature of 90‹ C. Dyes, mordants, and waterproofing-material such as gelatine and formaldehyde may be added to the solution prior to the squirting operation. The material is placed in a jacketed vessel a, having squirting-nozzles c arranged round its base, through which the material is forced by air pressure produced by a pump. The filaments from the nozzles pass into vessels g, containing each a spool or bobbin h surrounded by methylated spirits or other suitable liquid for coagulating the filaments. The vessels g are mounted on a ring or disc i, and, for the purpose of winding the filaments on to the spools; the disc is given a gyratory motion by reason of its being mounted upon a pair of wormwheels o, which are suitably driven from the shaft p. The filled spool is removed from its receptacle, washed in methylated spirits &c., and dried.

Title: Improvements in Heating-devices for use with Liquid-fuel.
Inventor: SCHERDING AUGUSTE ROBERT
Filed: 1901-02-22
Granted: 1902-01-30
Abstract: 3849. Scherding, A. R. Feb. 22. Liquid-fuel fittings; blast apparatus.-Relates to liquid-fuel supply apparatus, worked by steam or compressed air, for supplying liquid fuel to steamboiler and other furnaces, and to chimney blast apparatus arranged to be supplied either with steam or compressed air. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, a mixture of steam and liquid fuel, supplied at 49, is delivered by the injector A to the main supply nozzle, into which it is discharged in the form of an annular jet through the internal nozzle 3<a>, a motion of rotation being imparted to it by means of helicoidal guide-vanes 6. A reinforcing-jet of mixed steam and air supplied by the injector B is discharged around the nozzle 3<a>, and the combined jets, together with air drawn through the central passage, is delivered through the doublyconed mouthpiece 13 into the furnace, an additional supply of air entering at 17. A second reinforcing- jet of steam and air may be delivered at the mouth of the central air passage by the injector C, but this and, if desired, the first reinforcing-jet also, may be dispensed with, and the apparatus may be worked by compressed air instead of by steam. The Provisional Specification describes another arrangement of reinforcing steam jet, consisting of an annular set of openings between two portions of the main casing. Arrangements of reservoirs and pipe connections for use with such apparatus in a " steam-pump " or fire-engine boiler and a marine boiler are described and illustrated in the Specification, the arrangement being such that either steam or heated compressed air may be supplied to work the apparatus, and also, in the case of the fire-engine, to a ring blower in the chimney, so that, during the raising of steam, compressed air may be used both for supplying liquid fuel and forcing the draught. In the case of a marine boiler, the air and steam are first supplied to a divided receiver, whence they are distributed to a number of fuel-injecting nozzles, so that the supply to all may be simultaneously controlled.

Hauling-gear for traction engines. - Consists chiefly in means for hauling or propelling the traction engine by means of an anchored chain or cable, comprising also the means for anchoring the chain, and is particularly adapted for field work. Fig. 1 shows the engine in plan. Through a pinion H, power is transmitted from any suitable motor, carried on the engine frame, to the shaft i, on which are mounted a spur-wheel 0 and a chainwheel K, so that either can be clutched to the shaft, and the other set free, by means of clutches o' and j. When the main traction wheels F, G are to be driven, the spur-wheel O is clutched to the shaft i, and when the engine is to be propelled by hauling on the chain, the chain - wheel K is clutched. The chain L passes over guide pulleys at L<1> and m, through a guide M, for placing the links, and over the chain-wheel K, from which it is lifted by the roller N. After this, the chain may pass round guide pulleys r, s, t, so as to be relaid in proper position for the next draught. The ends of the chain are secured to a number of spadeshaped anchors a<1>, with hooks at the upper and lower ends to receive cross-bars b, b<1> whereby the spades may be connected together by rods a', and the chain L attached as shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
