Granted: 1914-05-07
Abstract: 11,129. Nosworthy, W. H., and Prescott, S. J. May 10. Planes, arrangement and construction of; steering and balancing.-The planes of an aeroplane are provided with openings 5 having guide surfaces 6, 7 for directing the air currents. In one form, the supporting-planes 1, 2 of a biplane diverge from the centre to the tips and are connected at their ends by outwardly curved or angled planes 3, 4. A downward side gust tending to tilt the machine laterally by lowering the left-hand side acts also on the upper surface of the right-hand side upper plane, and the air current is directed through the right-hand opening 5 to the lower right-hand plane 2 and the planes 4 whereby the tendency to tilt laterally is neutralized. The central openings 5 are controlled automatically by a shield 8 attached to a pendulum bob. The guide surfaces 7 may be controlled manually. In a modified arrangement, the lower planes are inclined upwards so as to meet the upper planes at the tips. In another form, the superposed parallel planes are either horizontal or inclined upwards from the centre and connected at the tips by planes such as 3, 4. In a monoplane the supporting-plane 1, Fig. 4, has supplemental dihedral surfaces 12, 13 at its ends. The invention may also be applied to front or rear stabilizing-planes.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: ALSTON CHARLES HENRY THOMAS
Filed: 1913-10-15
Granted: 1914-10-15
Abstract: 23,266. Alston, C. H. T. Oct. 15. Charge treating; cylinders, passages of and pipes for; two- and four-stroke-cycle engines; pumps.-In engines wherein mixture from a carburettor, is supplied to the cylinder by a pump, the fuel in the mixture is in succession alternately atomized and then given an opportunity to deposit its heavier and coarser particles, which are thereby eliminated and are subsequently re-sprayed, so that the finest spray only passes to the cylinder. In the two-stroke engine shown in Fig. 1, the pump d draws mixture from a carburettor through the pipe o and valve f. On the forcing stroke, the mixture is delivered past an atomizer h<1> and valve k to the cylinder b. The valve is surrounded by a projection b' which tends to prevent the charge from coming in contact with the cold cylinder walls. When the mixture is admitted through a port in the cylinder wall, an atomizer is placed in the mouth of the port. The admission of the mixture is preceded by a charge of air from the reservoir l supplied by the other end of the pump d or from the crank-chamber. The atomizer, Fig. 7, comprises a number of coaxial cylinders h<1> grooved or ribbed to impart a gyratory motion to the mixture, these cylinders are surmounted by a gauze cone h<2>. The coarser particles separated by the gauze are deposited on ledges j, whence they pass to the space h<3>. Towards the end of the pump delivery stroke, the discharge of mixture is stopped and the pump suction-valve f, Fig. 1, which has a small lift is opened so that mixture, and fuel that has collected in the pump cylinder, are re-sprayed into the suction pipe o and are drawn into the pump again on the next suction stroke. A separate valve may be provided through which the coarser particles are returned to the suction pipe. The coarse particles from the induction pipe i may be returned to the pipe o through a pipe q, nozzle q', and, if preferred, a valve r as shown in Fig. 4. Modifications of the arrangements of valves and passages shown in Fig. 4 are described. In four-stroke-cycle engines, air only is drawn in on the suction stroke and the mixture under pressure is delivered at the latter part of the suction or beginning of the compression stroke. In both two- and four-stroke-cycle engines, the pump may continue to force the mixture after compression has begun. In the four-stroke-cycle multicylinder engine shown in Fig. 8, the cranks are set at 180 degrees, the pump is double-acting, and is run at engine speed. Air supplied through the pipe m and mixture through the distributor t enter the cylinder past the valve k. In a modification, the air admitted is also controlled by the distributor t.

Title: Improvements relating to Guards for Self-acting Mules and the like.
IPC: D01H3/04
Filed: 1914-06-03
Granted: 1915-05-27
Abstract: 13,506. Brabant & Vandier, E. & G. July 23, 1913, [Convention date]. Interconnecting guard with starting-gear.- The guard of a self-acting mule or the like carries devices engaging means carried by the machine, so arranged that the guard cannot be removed while the machine is in motion and the machine cannot be started while the guard is removed. Figs. 1, 2, and 3 show the invention applied to the guard for the headstock of a self-acting mule. A shaft 4 carried by the mule is provided with a bent finger 5 adapted to coact with the arm of the strap-fork 6, an arm 13 which, through a hooked link 15 and known means, operates the clutch 19 of the carriage, and a spring-retained hand-lever 7 adapted to rotate the shaft. The guard 1, movable from left to right on wheels 2, carries, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a projecting finger 9 and a bent finger or bolt 22. A projection 8, Figs. 1 and 2, on the hand-lever 7 prevents removal of the guard until the lever 7 is depressed, and while the belt is on the fast pulley as shown in Fig. 3, the finger 5 makes contact with the arm of the belt-fork and prevents the depression of the lever 7. When the belt-fork has been moved into the position 6<1>, Fig. 3, to stop the machine, the lever 7 can be depressed and the guard removed. The depression of the lever 7 brings the finger 5 behind the strap-fork 6 and prevents the return of the fork to bring the strap on to the fast pulley, and also brings a pin 21 on the lever 7 beneath a weighted bent lever 10 on the framing of the machine. When the guard is removed, the withdrawal of the bolt 22, attached to the guard, allows a pendent lever 25, Fig. 1, in a box on the machine framing, to fall into the vertical position and bring a notch in it into engagement with a projection T on the weighted bent lever 10, thus locking the lever 10 and preventing the raising of the arm 7 to release the strap-fork until the lever 10 has been unlocked by the bolt 22 on replacement of the guard. A modification of the bolt 22 and the mechanism interlocking with it is described.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Methods & Apparatus for Printing Motion-picture Films.
Inventor: EVANS HENRY RIEGEL
IPC: G03B27/08
Filed: 1914-06-13
Granted: 1915-06-14
Abstract: 14,270. Evans, H. R. June 13. Printing apparatus with automatic timeexposure devices.-Apparatus is described for printing kinematograph films having recurring series of colour pictures in which the relative density ratio of the pictures representing the separate colours is different from the density ratio of the corresponding pictures in the negative. Fig. 4 illustrates a film negative L with recurring red and green colour records r, g, and a film positive L' with a different relative density for the corresponding colour pictures r', g<1>. In apparatus according to the present invention for producing the positive films, the printing value of the light is automatically varied so as to pass through a periodically recurring cycle of changes which synchronize with the changes of the picture presented at the printing-window, for example (a) by raising and lowering the luminosity of the source, or (b) by altering the duration of its action, or (c) by the insertion or removal of a light-absorbing medium, or (d) by varying the distance between the source of light and the film. The apparatus may further be arranged to vary automatically the ratio between the printing values. In one form of apparatus for printing a two-colour film, a shutter disk c, Fig. 1, revolving in front of the printing aperture B, has two apertures c<1>, c<2> of unequal width, and the aperture c<2> can be adjusted by a sector D. In a modified construction for varying the density ratio automatioally, the sector D is automatically stepped at each revolution. An alternative for the adjustable aperture c<2> is the use of two printing- lamps alternately by a masking-shutter. Alternatively again, the resistance of the printing- lamp circuit may be varied synchronously.
