Abstract: 18,245. Klumpp, A. Sept. 9. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-In the fourstroke-cycle engine shown in Fig. 4, liquid fuel is admitted to a cup g, in open communication with the combustion chamber at any convenient time, and is sprayed into the combustion chamber by air compressed by a separate pump L, the cylinder of Which opens into the working cylinder through a port a. The spraying of the fuel takes place when the port m is opened by a cam-operated valve b. A modification is shown in Fig. 2 in which air is compressed behind a piston having a port b, which permits the compressed air to escape into the combustion chamber through a port containing the fuel charge. The compressing piston may be moved by the main piston or by some external gear. : A further modification is shown in Fig. 1 in which a small combustion chamber is situated at one side of the cylinder. In this case, the main piston when near the end of the in stroke closes the port a leading to the combustion chamber, and further compresses the air in the cylinder. At the desired moment, a passage b in the piston admits the compressed air into the previously-closed port to spray the fuel into the combustion chamber, when it is ignited by the heat of compression.

Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 11,981. Brindley, G. F. April 14, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Oxygen is obtained by the action of water or other liquid upon alkali peroxide which has been fused and to which has been added a matallic oxide such as cupric oxide, manganese dioxide, nickel oxide, or ferric oxide. The addition of such a catalytic agent is stated to increase the formation of oxygen and to diminish the formation of a solution of alkali peroxide hydrate, or of hydrogen peroxide. The proportion of the metallic oxide must be small, as with even 5 per cent thereof the reaction with water is almost explosive. The rate of generation of the oxygen can be regulated by varying the proportion of the metallic oxide used.

Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 12,370. Janik, E. May 28. Calculating-apparatus.- The transfer - mechanism for the totalizing-counter of a calculating-machine is of the type in which the transfer tooth trips the transfer pawl and slides it laterally into gear with a ratchet-wheel upon the higher numeral-wheel, a cam upon a shaft independently operated by the machine then actuates the pawl, and the parts are finally restored. The transfer pin 13 of the lower numeral-wheel 5 strikes the shoulder 15 of a cam, which is loose upon the shaft 3, and knocks it back under the control of a spring and pressing-finger 20. 19; the finger 16 of the cam simultaneously lifts the pawl piece 8, loose upon the shaft 2, until the entrance to the slot 12, 11, Fig. 3, is opposite to a pin 10 on the shaft 2. Lateral motion of the pawl piece takes place under the pressure of the spring 9, and the rotation of the independent shaft 3, which occurs every time a number is registered, brings the fast cam 23 thereon against the pin 25 and depresses the pawl piece which moves the ratchet-wheel 7 of the higher numeral-wheel through one step, the pin 10 simultaneously passing down the slot. The continued motion of the independent shaft restores the parts by : (1) a cam action rotating the shaft 2 against its controlling-spring until the pin 10 is opposite the mouth of the slot ; (2) the lateral effect of the inclined edge 27 of the actuating- cam which presses the pawl piece laterally to the right, until the pin slips into the position shown in Fig. 2.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Regulation of Fuel Feed Pressure in Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BRADY FRANCIS WOODWARD
Filed: 1906-11-17
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 26,087. Brady, F. W. April 14, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Delivery, regulating. - In order to keep the quantity of fuel per stroke constant, for all speeds of an internal-combustion engine, the governor regulates the pressure upon a valve closing a by-pass in the fuel supply, this pressure being increased as the speed rises. Figs. 3 and 4 show the valve seat and valve, respectively, the part 11 of the latter carrying a load 9 and resting upon the annular partition 10. The space inside this partition is connected to the fuel pipe, so that, when the pressure in that pipe exceeds the total load on the valve, the latter is raised and fuel escapes over the partition back to the reservoir through an outlet 12. The variable part of the load comprises the pressure of an adjustable pin 5, Fig. 2, produced by a spring coiled around a spindle f and acting through a link v and a bell-crank lever h pivoted at g. The end of the link v is free to slide in a slot 4, and is caused to move downwards as the speed increases by the governor rod t, the leverage of the link v and therefore the pressure on the valve being thus increased. When the maximum speed is reached, a pin 7 engages with a hook 8 formed on the lever h and eases the pressure on the valve.
