Abstract: 26,612. Coles, D. H. Oct. 16, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-In order to obtain increased pressure during the working stroke of two- and four-stroke-cycle engines, the lower side of the piston is arranged to compress mixture into one or more chambers, the chamber or chambers having two or more ports communicating with the cylinder in order to secure a multiple impulse. Fig. 1 shows a two-stroke-cycle engine with two chambers 7,8. The piston is shown at the beginning of the working stroke, the ports 22, 21 being open The mixture, previously compressed in the chamber 7, enters and is fired by the sparking-plug 27. It is stated that, as the piston passes the port 21, additional mixture enters and reinforces the stroke. On the down-stroke, the mixture that has been previously drawn into the crank chamber 6 through the pipe 23 is compressed through the pipe 10<1> and the port 9<1> into the chamber 8. On the up-stroke, the port 9<1> is closed and the gases are exhausted through the port 11. In order to provide for efficient mixing, the crank chamber 6 is made flat as shown, and lubricant is distributed by the motion of the crank, the counter-balance weight 24 having a scoopshaped extension 25. The valves are actuated by cams 16, 16<1>a through the medium of levers 14. Fig. 5 shows a four-stroke-cycle engine with a chamber 30'. On the suction stroke, mixture is drawn through a port 43 into the cylinder, and mixture, previously drawn into the crank case, is compressed into the chamber 30<1> through the pipe 37 and the port 34. On the explosion stroke, this mixture is stated to enter the cylinder through ports 31, 32, giving a succession of impulses. On the exhaust stroke, the products are expelled through the port 33 and mixture is drawn. into the crank case.

Abstract: 29,884. Lake, W. E., [Pierce, C. S., Alden, A. B., and Parmenter, W. A.]. Dec. 21. Skiving.-Relates to a skiving-machine of the cylindrical-cutter type, and particularly to the disposition of the feed-roll, and to the construction and arrangement of the edge-gauge and the bracket arm which carries the upper guide-roll. The feedwheel G is supported so that its working surface is wholly on that side of the vertical diameter of the cutter away from the main portion of the work. The feed-wheel is mounted for oscillation about a rock-shaft J, and is continually pressed upwards by a spring M which engages a depending arm on the rock-shaft, an adjustable screw K serving as means to limit the position of these parts. The guide roll H is journaled in an arm 18 pivoted at 19 to a bracket 20, which is adjustable vertically and horizontally. The parts of the apparatus extending above the work are sufficiently small to allow for the manipulation of the work when skiving the throat of a vamp of a boot or shoe.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Breech Closures for Automatic Fire-arms.
Inventor: SCHWARZLOSE ANDREAS WILHELM

Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 208. Schwarzlose, A. W. Jan. 4, 1909, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding breech - block; b r e e c h actions, sliding barrel and breech-block.-Consists in improved locking-means for automatic fire-arms, applicable to either gas-operated or recoil - operated guns. The breech - bolt tilts about its rear end to effect the locking and unlocking; and near its front end are two locking-lugs w, one on each side, inclined to one another at an acute angle as shown in Fig. 3. The unlocking movement takes place along the line bisecting this angle, and is, in extent, little greater than the height of the lugs. The breechbolt is operated by a member b sliding in grooves in the casing and provided with inclined shoulders k and studs i for engaging corresponding inclined surfaces of the bolt. A tongue from the slide b passes through a slot in the breech bolt and carries the firing-pin Z. In the gas-operated gun shown in Fig. 1, the operating- member is driven back by an abutment x connected to the gas-piston k<2>. In the recoiloperated gun shown in Fig. 5, the operating- member is driven back by a lever p pivoted to the breech-block and engaging a fixed abutment a on the gun-frame. For hand-actuation, a handle g is provided projecting forward over the rear of the barrel. The cover d of the casing is hinged at the rear, and, together with the breech-block, firing-pin, and recoil spring, can be turned up to allow of the barrel being inspected through the hole o, or to permit removal of the breech-bolt and firing-pin. The firing-pin and breech-bolt may however be locked in the rear position, during this raising movement, by means of the locking-bolt r. In a modification, instead of one locking-lug on each side, there are two, one above the other, as shown in Fig. 4. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a modification in which the bolt does not tilt, but in which a locking-plate, having a tra-' pezium - shaped opening, locks the bolt to the barrel. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 2362. Heimann, A., and Schõffer, W. Feb. 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Arc lamps.-Lamps connected in a series of three or more are all provided with additional e l e c t r o - magnetic devices connected so t h a t a change of pressure in the arc of one lamp directly or indirectly varies the excitation of the devices of all the other lamps, in such a way as to accentuate the irregularity and hasten its correction by the regulating-mechanism. In lamps regulated by series coils 6, 7, 8, or by series and shunt coils, the series coils may be assisted by coils 12, 13, 14 each in shunt across the arc of another lamp, as shown. Alternatively, each lamp may have coils in shunt to all the other lamps of the series. To facilitate striking of the arc, the additional coils may, when they act on the ordinary regulating-cores, be only connected in circuit when the series coils are excited, or they may act on separate cores. Such cores may be attached to the lower carbon-holders, which are then mounted on springs ; or they may only come under the influence of the coils when the series cores are drawn in ; or the additional coils may be mounted on the series cores, and alone be connected to the carbons. The lamps and their regulating-mechanism may be of any kinds. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement for a three-phase lamp ; the coils 126 may be replaced by shunt coils.
