Abstract: 27,370. Orbell, F. Dec. 6. Sheafing or binding apparatus.-Harvesting and like machines are provided with special sheafcarriers adapted to receive a predetermined number of sheaves and then automatically and gently deliver them together upon the ground. The sheaf-carrier shown comprises curved tines f removably fastened to a spindle g, which is carried by brackets h detachably clamped on the main frame.

Abstract: 13,596. DalÚn, G. June 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Storing under pressure.-Cement which does not contain free oxides, such for instance as free alkaline earths, is employed as an adhesive or binding substance in porous masses used for storing acetylene dissolved in acetone. Cement which contains free oxides is rendered suitable for such employment by adding to it substances capable of forming salts with the free oxides, such as zinc chloride, hydrated silicic acid, and puzzuolana earth. The porous mass also contains, as usual, charcoal and silicious earth, to which, in known manner, may be added fibrous material to prevent the mass from breaking when dried.

Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 25,736. Hazzlewood, J. Nov. 9. [Cognate Application, 28,562/12.] Four-stroke-cycle engines; cylinders, varying clearance of. - Compression is reduced to a minimum, at starting, and is increased automatically during normal working by a supplementary piston mounted in the cylinder head. In the four-stroke-cycle engine shown in Fig. 1, a loose piston 8 carries a plunger 9<x> having a central channel 9<y> by means of which an air compression chamber 10 is placed in communication with a space 15 behind the piston. At starting, a valve 16 opens the space 15 to the atmosphere, and the piston 8 is then free to occupy its highest position during the compression strokes. During normal working, the valve 16 is closed and air is drawn into and compressed in the chamber 10 by the action of the varying pressures on the underside of the piston 8, the air being transferred to and stored in the space 15. The piston 8 approaches the working piston at the end of each exhaust stroke and facilitates the expulsion of the exhaust gases. According to a modified construction, the plunger 9<X> is dispensed with, exhaust gases from the combustion space being admitted behind the supplementary piston.

Abstract: 27,529. Bonhomme, J. Nov. 29,1911, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors.-In carburettors for use on aeroplanes and other apparatus liable to assume great inclinations, the float chamber or fuel reservoir is dispensed with and the nozzle outlet is controlled by a valve which is pressed to its seat on a back-fire occurring. The casing 1 is reduced in diameter at the nozzle outlet which is controlled by a needle valve 3 attached to, and adapted to be lifted by, a perforated screen 16 actuated by suction. The lift of the valve is controlled by a cam 14. The fuel, which is supplied by gas pressure, is filtered at 8 and is heated by a jacket 10. Air enters through two sets of apertures 20, 21 controlled by a ring 22, and is directed to the vicinity of the nozzle outlet by a fixed cone 19 and by the movable cone 16. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the carburettor shown in Fig. 3 (Cancelled) in which the valve 3 is carried by a framework comprising washers 17, 14, 16. This framework is lifted by the combined action of the suction, and the air entering at 20 striking the washer 16. The upward movement of the fuel-valve is limited by a stop 24 engaging the washer 14, the stop being adjusted by a cam-slot and pin actuated by the valve 22 which controls the air through the openings 20, 21. The fixed cone is shown at 19. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Inventor: MINETT JOHN
IPC: B01F5/00
Filed: 1914-02-10
Granted: 1915-01-14
Abstract: 3444. Minett, J., and Lumley, M. Feb. 10. Feed, regulating. - In apparatus for aerating liquids, the supply of liquid is controlled according to the level of liquid in the aerating-chamber by a valve or other device operated by the gas in the aerating-chamber so that liquid is not supplied unless the gas pressure is sufficient. The fall of a float 2 in the aerating-chamber allows gas entering ports 15 and a central port in a rod 7 carrying cupleathers or pistons 12, 13, to press the rod away from the end 14 and to open a port 20 leading to a pipe 17 and to the upper part of a casing containing a flexible diaphragm 25. If the pressure is sufficient, the diaphragm is depressed and the liquid-supply valve 31 is opened. The rise of the float 2 returns the rod 7, opens the ports 19, 21 to the atmosphere, allows escape of the gas from above the flexible diaphragm, aad closes the valve 31. The rod 7 may be arranged vertically and attached to a float in a chamber which communicates at the top and bottom with the aerating- chamber. The movements of the float may rotate a plug valve provided with ports to admit gas above the flexible diaphragm and to allow the gas to escape. The gas pressure may be utilized to control the liquid-supply pump.
