Patent GB-190415625-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines
Inventor: PECK WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-07-13
Granted: 1904-08-25
Abstract: 15,625. Peek, W. July 13. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-In two-strokecycle engines of the type described in Specification No. 4037, A.D. 1902, hydrocarbons are injected into the working cylinder A, through the valve Z, by the action of compressed air forced in through the pipe H by the piston K'. Air is admitted to the pump cylinder A<1> through ports P<1>, P in the framing and cylinder respectively. The working cylinder exhausts through the port X, and is scavenged by air forced in through the port R by the piston K. Air for flushing purposes is admitted to the cylinder through the port R' on the upward stroke of the piston. Water is circulated through the communicating water spaces W, W<1> in the cylinder and cover respectively, and spacious air passages are formed at C to silence the air suction. Modifications are described in which a piston operated by a cam or eccentric, or automatically or mechanically operated lift valves, control the supply of air to the cylinder A', and of air for flushing purposes to the cylinder A,

Patent GB-190424642-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Heat Engines.
Inventor: BOGERT JOHN LAWRENCE
Filed: 1904-11-14
Granted: 1904-12-22
Abstract: 24,642. Bogert, J. L. Nov. 14 Gas and like engines.-To facilitate starting, to prevent pre-ignition, and to regulate the power developed by gas and oil engines suitable for motorcar and ship propulsion, an adjustable piston 10, or other mechanical means, is arranged at the head of the cylinder to vary the compression space. The piston, which may be water-cooled, may be adjusted by the hand-wheel shown in Fig. 7, or by the worm gearing shown in Fig. 5. If preferred, the piston may be arranged in a separate cylinder, situated in any convenient position, and in open communication with the working cylinder. The adjustable piston or plunger may also be operated by water pressure. When the engine, which may work on a two- or four-stroke compression cycle, is running normally, the charge is ignited by the projection 17, the heat of which is maintained by the combustion of the charge. Fig. 7 shows an arrangement for discharging a portion of the ignited charge into a second cylinder 1<x>. The ordinary cycle of operations takes place in the cylinder 1, while air alone is drawn into and compressed in the larger cylinder 1<x>. When the charge is ignited in the cylinder 1, a portion of the products is led into the cylinder 1<x> through the valve 22, and acts upon the piston 2<a>, which is connected to a crank set at an angle of 45 degrees in advance of the crank to which the piston 2 is connected. The larger cylinder inlet and exhaust valves are shown at 25 and 7 respectively.

Abstract: 5436. Sutcliffe, E. R., and Richards, W. A. March 6. Moulding tiles &c.-Roofing-tiles of non-uniform cross-section and other similar objects are pressed in moulds b fixed on the table A of a rotary-table machine, which table is held fixed at intervals by a weight-pressed latch lever L engaging recesses in the table. The lever shooting into a recess acts through a rod and levers to rotate spindles u, v, the first result being that the driving-belt is transferred to the fast pulley w, the pressing-mechanism started, and the crank-driven bell-crank lever F pulled down till the fulcrum B between the short arm of the lever and the rod Q joining it to the press-head E is vertically below the fulcrum G. As the lever rises, a recess R on a rod T connected to it engages a projection on the weight S, raising it and throwing on the band brake V. A lever z at the top of the stroke is turned to disengage the rod and allow the weight to fall and take off the brake. The cam 4 on top of the spindle v rocks a rod r and throws a clutch P in to allow the table to be driven. The clutch is thrown out by depression of the rod 3 effected by the falling of the weight.

Hand stirring-rods for mixing batter and for other operations consist of a rod 1 with a handle and a fixed collar 3, into which are placed a series of knife-blades 4 separated by thimbles 7. The outermost blade 4<a> has openings 12 which receive pins 11 on a nut 9 which screws into the end of the rod. When it is intended for use for mixing batter, enlarged openings are formed in the blade. The blades are clamped together by placing their straight edges on a surface and turning the handle. The blades are provided with a second series of openings 13, so that the rod may be attached nearer the rear edge if desired. In place of the nut 9, the rod may be formed with a fixed collar with pins 11 at the end, and the knives may be clamped by a handle formed as a collar on the rod and pressed against the blades by a nut. The blades may be shaped as shown in Fig. 3, and have curved edges 5, straight edges 5<a>, edges 5<b> formed with teeth, and edges 16 turned over, or circular or other shaped blades may be used. According to the Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901, the outermost thimble may be formed with a boss on which the blade 4<a> fits so as to keep it out of contact with the screw threads. This subject - matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

The spigot end A of the tap is provided with a screw-thread bevelled, as shown, on its periphery and increasing uniformly in diameter from the free end of the spigot to the shoulder A' on the same. The groove between any two consecutive portions of the screw may be varied in width to allow for different thicknesses of the materials of which tanks are made. The shank of the tap is made of uniform or practically uniform diameter as shown. A washer A<2> serves to make a tight joint when the tap is screwed into the tank. The tap is provided with an appliance for boring a hole in the tank for the introduction of the tap. Attached to the plug of the tap or made in one with it is a tapered screw D having mounted on it a disk c provided preferably with two curved cutter blades c<1>, shown separately in underside plan view in Fig. 6. In a modification, the spigot end A is of the same construction as that shown in Fig. 1, but is made separate from the tap so that one spigot end may be used with taps of different bore. Holes E facilitate the withdrawal of liquid when the level falls so low that the vessel has to be tilted.

Title: Improvements in connection with the Travelling Tables of Machine Tools.
Inventor: LIEBERT HENRY ANTON EMIL

Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 13,735. Liebert, H. A. E., and Gartside, V. June 15. Reversing-gearing.-The rotation of the traversing-screw of a machine tool table, such as that for a planing-machine, is automatically reversed as soon as the table reaches a fixed stop at the end of its traverse by the provision of a movable bearing to take up the thrust of the screw. The bearing- block 8, which slides in guides in the bed D, is kept in a central position by weighted levers W, X, contacting with screwed stops 3, 4. These levers rest on projections Y<1>, Y<2> on a lever Y, keyed to a shaft z carrying a pinion to engage a rack on the underside of the bearing-block. The lever Y is connected by a link Y<3> to a lever 0, also linked to a cam plate N for operating the fork levers L, M for the crossed and open belts. To fix the table A, a stud Q is passed through the lever O and casting. When the stops B, B<1> come into contact with fixed stops C, C<1>, the screw and bearing-block S are traversed and the lever Y is moved against one of the weighted levers so as to shift the belts to reverse the rotation. The lever 0 has a slot O<8>, so that, as the lever Y falls back into its central position after moving the belts, it does not move the cam plate.
