Title: Automatic Ejector and Ventilator for Vehicles
Inventor: LAGNA-FIETTA LODOVICO
Filed: 1906-01-06
Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 421. Fietta. L. Lagna-, Jan. 6. Ventilators.-Relates to the ventilation of vehicles and other moving bodies. A fan 17 mounted above the roof is rotated by the wind caused by the motion of the vehicle and rotates a spindle 3 through gearing. The spindle 3 carries an air ejecting fan 4 and an air-agitating fan 2<1> which can be rotated simultaneously or independently by being forced into contact with cones 6<1>, 6 respectively. By pulling downwards a knob 52<1> attached to a chain 49 connected to one end of a pivoted lever 47, a collar 2<1> fixed to the other end of the lever 'and carrying the fan 4 is raised against the action of a spring 50 and lifts the fan 4 from the cone 6<1> thus stopping' its rotation, a pawl holding it in the raised position. The fan 2<1> is lowered out of action by turning a knob 11, causing a cam-plate to force up rods 10<1> against the action of a spring and to depress rods 10 carrying a bridge 7 which in turn depresses a collar 43<1> attached to the fan. On again turning the knob, the fan is returned into action by springs. The air outlet is covered by a fixed plate 31 below which is mounted a movable plate 31<1> attached to a pivoted lever 47<1> which is connected to a pawl 52<a> by a chain 49<1>. By lowering or raising the pawl, the outlet aperture can be adjusted.

Filed: 1906-01-18
Granted: 1906-12-06
Abstract: 1406. Holman, J. H., and Holman, J. M. Jan. 18. Disk mills for wetgrinding. The material is ground between the vertical edges m of the perforated non - rotating mullers l and the renewable ring i at the side of the grinding-pan a, as well as between the horizontal surfaces n of the mullers and the perforated shoes j forming the bed of the pan. The driving-arms p of the mullers are carried by an adjustable sleeve q on the vertical driving-shaft c, the holes t<1> in the lugs s through which the securing-pins t pass being elongated to allow the mullers to move outwards under centrifugal action. The pulp is introduced through passages at the periphery of the pan, and the ground material passes through perforations in the central hollow cone g, and through the opening e to the discharge spout h. The level at which the discharge takes place is regulated by plugging up some of the perforations in the cone g. A sleeve w prevents the water &c. from coming into contact with the shaft c. According to the Provisional Specification, the circumferential surfaces of the mullers may be formed with teeth.

Title: Improvements in Clock Controlled Apparatus for Checking Watchmen and the like
Inventor: PATTERSON ANDREW VINCENT
Filed: 1906-05-07
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 10,631. Patterson, A. V. May 7. Tell-tale clocks for checking watchmen &c. At predetermined times, the clock completes electric alarm circuits unless the watchman on his round operates other contacts in the circuits, means being provided for rendering a fixing of the contact by the watchmen ineffectual. The hour spindle of the clock carries two wheels C, C' which are loose upon it, are weighted so as to return to the same position when free, and have each a projecting pin for contacting in a given position with one of the depending arms E, E<1> in the alarm bell circuit. Moving with the clock spindle but feathered to slide thereon is a clutch member D, which normally, when the electromagnet H is de-energized, is in gear with wheel C, but when this wheel has turned so far that its pin strikes the contact arm, the alarm circuit is completed and the electro-magnet therein attracts its armature to move the clutch momentarily into gear with the wheel C'. If, however, the distant contact in the circuit has previously been made by the watchman, the armature and clutch will move in the same way, and should this contact be held down, the pin on the wheel C' will also cause the bell to ring after a time. If the clock is to control a number of alarms, as many wheels C may be employed, or with a single wheel a circuit-determining dial G may be combined, whereby the movement of the hour-hand determines at any time which circuit shall be completed by a contact with the arm E.

Title: A Process for the Manufacture of Substances suitable for Polishing, Varnishing and other purposes from Resins and the like.
Inventor: ELKELES GUSTAV
Filed: 1906-05-11
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 11,090. Elkeles, G., and Klie, E. May 11. Cements.-Relates to the production from resins, particularly hard resins such as copals, ambers, &c., of chlorinated derivatives soluble in oils and spirits. The resins are dissolved in alkali hydrate or carbonate solution, a solution of sodium hypochlorite is added until the precipitate formed does mot disappear on stirring, and the chlorinated resin is precipitated by the addition of a mineral acid. Alternatively, excess of alkali may be added to the resin solution and chlorine passed through the solution until precipitation commences. The resin is bleached during the process. Oil or oleic acid may be emulsified or dissolved with the resin, and is chlorinated and precipitated along with the resin. The products may be slightly oxidized with acid permanganate solution to obtain products directly soluble in alcohol. The products are suitable for use in polishing, for making varnishes, for insulating purposes, as adhesive substances, and in the manufacture of soaps.

Title: Improvements in Fuel Feeding Mechanism for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BRADY FRANCIS WOODWARD
Filed: 1906-11-17
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 26,076. Brady, F. W. April 14, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-In a four-strokecycle engine, a cam-operated valve between the valve-chest and combustion chamber forms the admission valve and exhaust valve of the latter, and assists also in vaporizing the charge. A liquid-fuel valve worked by the same cam delivers fuel to the surface of this valve or to its stem, being specially arranged to prevent leagage after closing. Fig. 3 is a part section showing the fuel valve w, which delivers fuel through an inclined passage 7 to ducts q round the stem of the main valve r. The latter valve, by means of a cam d, Fig. 1, on the halfspeed shaft, is held open during the exhaust and suction strokes, the exhaust and air-inlet valves (not shown) on the valve-chest acting automatically. During the suction stroke, the big lump on the cam d opens the fuel valve by means of a screwed pin 2 carried by the arm m. The valve w is a good fit, and this, together with the inclination of the passage 7, causes the oil to run away from the ducts q as the valve w is closed, and prevents escape of oil till the valve w is opened again. In a modified construction, the ducts q slope away from the valve stem instead of towards it.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Elastic Fluid Turbines.
Filed: 1908-12-11
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 26,896. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boverie, et Cie. Aug. 21, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Actuating valves.-Relates to turbine throttle valves actuated by fluid pressure, and consists in providing a variable outlet for the valve-operating fluid so that excessive valve action is avoided. The valve a is mounted upon a spindle f, which carries a spring-pressed piston b. The position of the piston b is determined by the pressure of the fluid, such as oil, which is admitted by a pipe d, and is normally discharged through a pipe e. An additional outlet h communicates with a chamber k surrounding the valve stem. The valve stem is provided with a groove g, Fig. 2, of variable crosssection. When the valve is raised-the groove g establishes communication between the piston chamber and the chamber k, so that the higher the valve is raised the quicker can the operating-fluid flow away. When the valve is closing the reverse operation takes place. The action of the valve is rendered somewhat sluggish by this device. Instead of the groove g being provided, the spindle may be turned to form a waist as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2.
