Title: Improvements in or relating to Steam Accumulators.
Inventor: MATTHAEI ALFRED
IPC: F01K1/02
Filed: 1912-02-19
Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 4130. Matthaei, A. Feb. 19. Exhaust, treating. - A steam-accumulator comprises an outer closed casing a of metal, concrete, &c., and a movable inner bell c dipping into water or other liquid contained in the space between the outer casing and an inner casing b open to the atmosphere. Exhaust steam from a primary engine enters the space between the bell and the outer casing by a pipe e, which is closed by the upper end of the bell when in its highest position. A tubular belt f containing air or gas is attached to the lower end of the bell to increase the buoyancy and prevent too rapid rise and fall. The air in the upper portion of the interior of the bell becomes heated and increases the buoyancy. The counterweights g are arranged inside the casing b. The bell may actuate live-steam or air admission valves when near its highest position to prevent the formation of a vacuum in the steam space. The casings a and b may be covered with a heat-insulating material.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Ignition Systems for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: MASON CHARLES THOMAS
Filed: 1914-01-03
Granted: 1914-12-31
Abstract: 173. Mason, C. T. Jan 3. Rotary interrupters.-A rotary commutator, which causes impulses of battery current in the dynamo coil, in a dual ignition system for internal-combustion engines, is adapted to act as a switch for putting the battery and dynamo into or out of action at will. The commutator comprises a rotating contact member and a cooperating contact member movable axially and adapted to occupy three distinct positions. The rotary member is carried by a shaft 21 and comprises an insulated disk 22 supporting brushes 24, 25, and traversed by a brush 26 which is insulated from the disk and in electrical contact with the shaft to which current is led by a brush 45. The axially movable co-operating member comprises insulated segments 27, 28 and a central conducting portion 41. When the co-operating brushes and contacts are in engagement, as is shown in Fig. 1, rotation of the member 22 makes and breaks the battery circuit. If the axially movable member is moved away from the brushes on the rotary member, as shown in Fig. 2, by means of a pivoted arm 31 and operating-rod 47, the battery is cut out leaving the magneto in action. By pushing the rod 47 further in and moving the axial member further to the left, the member 41 engages an earthed terminal 51, and the magneto is short-circuited. The arm 31 is held in each of its positions by spring stops 48, 49, 50.

Abstract: 5137. Pennell, R. H. L., and Bovine, J. Orten-. Feb. 27. Suction reservoirs.-Relates to means for dealing with liquid which reaches the sump at different levels, and is particularly applicable to sewage disposal systems. Supply-pipes a, b, c, Fig. 3, enter the sump at different levels, and a partition i is provided with a non-return valve h so that the high-level inflow is retained in the sump f as long as its level is higher than that in the sump e. The suction pipe g of the pump enters the sump f, and the pump is started by a float device when this sump is full. Liquid is drawn from the sump e when the level in the sump f falls below that in the sump e. Loss of head through the falling of liquid from the pipe a into a low-level sump is thus avoided. The Provisional Specification also describes an apparatus in which the suction pipe is branched into each of the sumps, each branch having a non-return valve. The high-level sump is also provided with an overflow pipe into the lowlevel sump.

Abstract: 11,739. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 12. Insulators or supports for third rails or other electric conductors comprise a supporting- bracket or pedestal 1, Fig. 1, a pair of insulators 3, 4 secured thereto by means of a bolt 5 passing through them along their axis, and an arm 6 carrying the conductor 7 clamped between, and extending at right-angles to the axis of, the insulators, which are so shaped as to prevent movement of the insulators relatively to the pedestal, or of the arm 6 relative to the insulators. According to the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the insulators 3, 4 are formed respectively with inclined faces 21, 24 which co-operate with correspondingly inclined faces on a web 8 of the pedestal 1 and on a cap-piece 10 secured at the head of the bolt 5, so as to prevent movement of the insulators with respect to the pedestal 1. A flange 27, Fig. 1, engaging grooves 28 in the insulators, and a flange 29 engaging the edge of the insulators prevent movement of the arm 6 in its own longitudinal direction; while inclined surfaces 23 on the arm 6 engaging corresponding surfaces 22 on the insulators prevent lateral movement of the arm. Insulating fibre or cardboard may be arranged as cushioning- material between the inclined surfaces. In a modified construction, inclined surfaces on the insulators 3, 4, pedestal, and arm 6 are dispensed with, movement of the insulators or arm being prevented by means of sheet-metal plates with flanged edges arranged between the pedestal and the insulator 3, on the top of the insulator 4, and between the insulators and the arm 6.
