Title: Improvements in Oil Engines.
Inventor: CROSS JAMES WILLIAM
IPC: F02B19/14
Filed: 1909-09-30
Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 22,315. Cross, J. W. Sept. 30. Drawings to Specification. Cylinders receiving liquid fuel. -In oilengines having a hot combustion chamber into which fuel is injected after air has been compressed in the cylinder, a portion of this air is drawn in through the combustion chamber, the remainder being drawn in simultaneously between the piston and combustion chamber. The two air-valves are spring-loaded, and are actuated simultaneously by a cam-actuated rod, through a pair of levers. A hit-and-miss regulating-valve may be provided on one or both of the casings of the air-admission valves. The above arrangement effects the scavenging of the combustion chamber without unduly cooling it, and it is applicable to oil-engines working on any cycle.

Abstract: 25,552. Lake, W. E., [Salomon, H. J., (Firm of)]. Nov. 5. Dowelling. - A machine for uniting boards by wire dowels is provided with a number of dowel - holders 9 a d j u s t a b l y clamped on shafts 10, mounted at each end in adjustable bearings 11 on cross shafts 12, the height of which is regulated by means of racks 14, pinions 15, and handles 18. The boards to be joined are arranged between two sliding rails 3, which are adjusted by screws 4. The end board is clamped to the rail by set-screws 8. Each dowel-holder 9, Fig. 3, has at each end a sliding block 21 carrying two bent levers 20 and a hooked plate 23 held in position by springs. The dowel 25 is placed between the ends of the levers and the plate 23 at the upper end of the holder, and the shaft 10 carrying a number of holders is then rotated by hand to bring the dowels into position for driving. The boards 28, when pressed together, first receive the points of the dowel 25 and then engage the levers 20; these engage bevelled surfaces on the plate 23 and throw it outwards clear of the dowel. The longer arms of the levers carry rollers or knife-edges normally held in engagement with the body of the holder 9 by a spring. The action of the boards 28 against the levers 20 throws the longer arms clear of the body, and the block 21, together with the parts which it carries, is then raised by a counterweight 22, allowing the dowels to be fully driven into the boards. The levers 20 are geared together by means of teeth concentric with the pivots 19. The two rails 3 are pressed together to drive the dowels by levers 7 actuated by levers 31 engaged by cams 32, which are rotated by wheels 34 and worms 33 on a shaft 42. To allow the pressure to be relieved when the edges of the boards come into contact, the pivot of the lever 31 slides in a slot against a calculated resistance afforded by a dash-pot 40 and a weight 41.

Title: An Improved Method of and Means for Liquefying Gases with a Low Boiling Point.
Inventor: HILDEBRANDT GOTTHOLD
IPC: F25J3/00
Filed: 1910-02-10
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 3316. Hildebrandt, G. Feb. 10. Liquefying.-Cooled compressed air, hydrogen, or like gases with low boiling-points are expanded in a space of gradually increasing cross-sectional' area, to facilitate their liquefaction. The expansion may be conveniently effected in a Laval nozzle C, Fig. 1, and the increase in cross-sectional area is preferably made sufficient to allow the gas to expand to below atmospheric pressure. To render the expansion as adiabatic as possible, the nozzle is preferably surrounded by the incoming compressed gas. Thus as shown in Fig. 2 the gas is admitted through the pipe A to a chamber D surrounding the nozzle. The nozzle, however, is made of a good conductor of heat, and the cold transmitted through it to the compressed gas in the vessel D may be employed for effecting the separation of impurities or constituents having relatively high boiling - points. To diminish friction at the nozzle, the inlet end is enlarged to a cylindrical space as shown in Fig. 4. A vacuum is formed at the outer end H of this space, thereby increasing the cooling effect of the expansion.

Filed: 1911-04-01
Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 8205. Morris, D. K., and Lister, G. A. April 1. Automatic circuit-breakers. - An automatic circuit - breaker comprises a tension - member adapted to be heated by a current passing through or around it, means for retaining the switch in the closed position, and a spring- controlled strut - like member on which the tension-member is adapted to exert an approximately end-on pressure, the strut-like member being adapted to swing past a dead-centre and release the switch when the tension-member is sufficiently heated or cooled. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the movable contacts b on the switcharm c are connected by a pair of tension strips a, between which is mounted a forked catchlever d, pivoted on the switch-arm. The lever d co-operates with an actuating-lever e connected to a handle f, which is held in the closed position by a catch. Strut-pieces g are mounted between each side of the lever d and the strips a and, in the position shown, retain the cross pin h on the lever d in engagement with the actuating-lever e. The switch can therefore be closed and held in the closed position by the catch. If the strips a expand sufficiently, the lever d is swung out of engagement with the lever e by a spring, the strut-pieces moving to the opposite side of their dead-centres, and the switch is opened by the usual springs. When the handle is moved into the open position a projection i on the lever e restores the lever d to its original position through an abutment plate j. In a modification, Fig. 3, a connecting-lever k is placed between the levers d, e. The lever k is pivoted on the switch-arm and connected by a spring l with the abutment plate j. The switch-arm is held in the closed position by the engagement of the lever e with a pin m on the lever k, until the catch-lever d is moved over the dead-centre, whereupon the lever k is withdrawn by the spring l, and the switch-arm swings into the open position. In the form shown in Fig. 5, a single strip a connects the contacts b, and on the switch-arm is pivoted a handle f connected to a catch e, which at one end can engage a projection o and at the other end is held in contact with the strip. When the strip expands, the catch is withdrawn by the spring p, leaving the switch-arm free to open. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the contacts b are mounted on a lever which is pivoted on the same shaft as the lever e. The strip a connects one of the contacts with a pin b<2> on a rocking member b<1> pivoted at q on the other contact. A ball and spring r, or other catch, is used to act on the lever e to retain the switch in the closed position until, on expansion of the strip, the member b<1> is rocked by a spring and the pin h is withdrawn from the lever e.
