Abstract: 15,056. Prugh, J. H., and American Floor Surfacing Machine Co. June 28. Floors and like surfaces, treating.- A surfacing-machine for mosaic, stone, and like floors is constructed with an angular guide - frame upon which abrading-blocks are reciprocated in contact with the floor, the blocks being driven by a rope or chain receiving its reciprocatory motion from a motor mounted on the machine; the machine is carried on driving-wheels and steering-castors, and moves slowly over the floor under its own power. The abrading-blocks 13 are carried by holders 12 mounted on pins 16 carried by sleeves 17 slidable along bars 10, 10<1>. A rope 22, fixed to the sleeves, encircles the frame, being guided by sheaves 24, 25, and is caused to work tb and fro by the rotation of cranks 20, to the ends 23 of which it is fixed ; the cranks are at opposite ends of a shaft 21 which is rotated through gearing by a motor. The sheaves 24 are mounted on toggle-levers 27, which are caused to oscillate by a lever 30 actuated by a cam 32 on shaft 21 in order to take up the slack in the rope when the cranks are in their top and bottom positions. The guide-frames 10, 10<1> and the attached blocks may be raised or lowered by means of a lever arm 55, which actuates levers 58 to raise and lower vertical stems 11 carrying the sheaves and rods 10, 10<1>. The driving-wheels 3 are rotated through worm-gearing and a clutch by the motor, and the castors 2 are mounted on vertical axles 5 and are rotatable for steering by means of a lever 9. In a modification, the abrading-blocks are worked by means of chains passing over sprocket-wheels and receiving their motion from a block reciprocating on guide-rods across the centre of the machine and actuated by the motor through a pin-and-slot mechanism.

Title: Improvements in Fuel Injecting Apparatus for Internal Combustion Engines.
IPC: F02M67/12
Filed: 1909-09-29
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 2 2 , 1 9 5 . Willans & Robinson, and Peache, J. C. Sept. 29. Cylinders receiving liquid fuel.-In engines of the Diesel type, in which air is supplied by a pump for opening the fuel valve and igniting the fuel, the pressure in the fuel chamber is never allowed to fall much below the pressure required for injection. The air is supplied by a two-stage compressor b, which is driven by a crank a 45 degrees behind the main crank. A check valve i is provided in the delivery pipe j, in order to prevent the pressure in the valve chamber l from falling when the fuel valve m is closed. The stem n of the valve m is of larger diameter at its upper end, so that the valve is lifted when the pressure in the valve chamber is sufficiently high to overcome the valve spring, not shown. The pump is so proportioned that the injection of fuel takes place when the engine piston is at its inner dead-centre. The time of injection is adjusted by adjusting the valve spring. The valve may be lifted by a pressure acting on a diaphragm, or may be an ordinary lift valve opening outwards. The invention is shown applied to the engine described in Specification 16,172/09, [Class 7(vi), Internal-combustion engines, Valves &c.].

Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 6431. Lehne, J. March 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Fixed-abutment type; regulating.-Relates to rotary pumps and similar machines having outwardly-sliding vanes. The rotor 2 on the shaft 2<1> has slots carrying vanes 4, which are caused to slide radially while rotating by cams 10, 11 on the casing. The annular working chambers are formed by grooves 5, 5<a> cut in the ends of the rotor 2, and are closed by annular ribs 12, 12<a> on the casing. Two spring-pressed abutments 7, 7<a> project into each working chamber, and the vanes 4 are slotted at 9, 9<a> to clear them. In order to make the device of variable capacity, as described in Specification 12,159/10, the rotor 2 is movable axially. By this means, the working chamber on one side may be increased in capacity and that on the other side reduced. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the opposite working chambers are connected by passages 15, and the abutments 7 in the chamber 5 are in an axial plane at right-angles to the abutments 7<a> in the chamber 5<a>. Two ports 16 connected with pipes 17 are provided on each side as shown in Fig. 2. When the chambers 5, 5<a> are equal in volume, the fluid circulates within the pump and no discharge takes place, but when they are made unequal by displacing the rotor axially, fluid is discharged in one direction or the other. The direction of flow in the mains, and the quantity are thus variable. The springs 8, 8<a> allow the abutments to yield when the rotor is displaced. In a modification, the slits 9, 9<a> are arranged opposite to one another, and the abutments are also opposite to one another in the two chambers. In this construction the connecting passages 15 are replaced by suitable passages in the casing. In a further modification, two or more concentric working chambers are arranged on each face of the rotor. The vanes 4 are formed in halves, each of which is actuated by independent cams displaced through 90 degrees relatively to one another. All of the chambers may be interconnected. Movable-abutment type.-The outwardly-sliding vanes and the annular working chambers may be arranged in the stationary parts, the members 7, 7<a> being arranged on the rotor.
