Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 3915. Duryea, O. C., and White, M. C. Feb. 16. Gas and like explosive hammers,. pistons.-Directacting two-stroke-cycle internal-combustion engines suitable for rock drills, hammers, and the like are balanced by uniting two identical single-acting engines which work in opposite directions by a common piston-rod. Improvements in the starting, igniting, and cooling are also described. The invention is an improvement on those described in Specifications No. 10,730, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Mining &c.], and No. 28,812, A.D. 1903, and is described as applied to a rock drill. The pistons (not shown in Fig. 7) are cup-shaped, and control the admission ports 12 to the compression chamber 2 and the admission and exhaust ports 14, 10 of the explosion chambers. They are attached to a rod which passes through a rifled sleeve in a partition 25 which rotates in one direction only. The outer end of the rod carries the drill and is of the same diameter as a hollow tail-rod working in the rear end 18 of the cylinder. Water is forced through cavities 49, 51 by a pump worked by a cam-surface on the piston-rod, and the rods are also cooled by the gases entering through the inclined ports 14 and over the end of the piston, which is curved to direct them. The igniting-plug is placed in the path of the new charge and is worked by a lever engaging the piston. For starting, hand-operated relief cocks are provided and a handle, Fig. 3, is employed to move the piston ; a catch lever 45 on this handle is pressed into an annular groove 44 in the tail rod as shown.

Title: An Improved Method of Reversing Explosion or Combustion Motors.
Inventor: HULT CARL ALRIK
Filed: 1906-02-27
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 4794. Hult, C. A., and Hult, O. W. March 2, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1301]. Gas and like engines.-The Figure shows a twostroke - cycle, two - cylinder, reversible engine in which explosive charges are normally admitted to the cylinder 3 and fired in any convenient way. Immediately before or after the charge is fired, the valve 6 is opened and a portion of the products of combustion enter the cylinder 4. The exhaust port of the cylinder 3 is shown at 7 and the exhaust valve of the cylinder 4 at 10. An additional port may, if preferred, be provided at 8. Reversing.-This is effected by closing the valves 6, 10 and thus increasing the compression resistance owing to the presence of the combustion products in the cylinder 4. The increase in the compression prevents the pistons from completing their in-strokes, and the ignition and the valve-gear being adjusted the engine is reversed.

Title: Spool Gauge Mechanism for Looms with Automatic Spool Changing Device.
Inventor: SEFTON-JONES HERBERT
Filed: 1906-11-14
Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 25,755. Jones, H. Sefton-, [Soc. Anon. des MÚtiers Gabler]. Nov. 14. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins in, automatically. -Relates to weft-feeler mechanism of the type described in Specification No. 882, A.D. 1903, whereby bobbin-changing mechanism is brought into operation when the weft in the shuttle is exhausted to a predetermined extent. A feeler, comprising a plate a with spring prongs c, is slidably mounted on the breast beam and is pressed towards the lay by a spring. The distance between the prongs c is regulated by a micrometer screw d, and the feeler is normally pressed forwards by the action of the cop f<1> on the prongs c as the lay beats up. A finger i on a rocking wire m rests on an incline on the feeler, and is raised as the feeler is pressed forwards. A lever on the other end of the wire m raises another lever on a pin n<2>, which is supported in a bearing o on a lever q fixed to a rock-shaft r. A catch p on the pin n<2> is thereby raised out of the path of the ordinary hammer s. When the weft is sufficiently exhausted, the spool passes between the prongs c, the feeler is not pressed forwards, and the catch p engages the hammer, so that the shaft r is rocked. A lever V on the shaft r is raised and acts through a spring Z to raise a pivoted lever W, a pin X on this lever raising a pivoted lever u, which effects the change of bobbin by means of suitable mechanism.

Title: Apparatus for Preventing the Occurrence of Skidding and Side-slip of the Wheels of Automobile Vehicles.
Inventor: LOWRY WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-12-24
Granted: 1907-04-18
Abstract: 29,401. Lowry, W. Dec. 24. Slipping, preventing, attachments to wheels for.-When circumferential or lateral slipping of the driving-wheels of a motor road vehicle occurs, a series of non-slipping shoes 6, normally lying between the twin tyres as shown in Fig. 4, are automatically and successively forced outwards and placed across the tyre treads, as shown in Fig. 6, the shoes being returned automatically to the inoperative position when slipping ceases. A pair of small wheels 9 are mounted in a frame 12 pivoted to the dead axle 1 or other fixed part of the vehicle, to trail on the road behind the driving-wheels 2 ; and when these wheels move laterally with respect to the driving-wheels owing to side-slip, stops 32 actuated by a system of levers 18, 20, 25, 26, 27 are brought against a series of tappets 33 projecting through curved slots 51 in plates fixed to the wheels 2. As the tappets are forced along the slots 51 by the stops 32, they carry with them the pivoted arms 40 which engage with levers 43, turning about their ends 46 spring- pressed against the rim 8 and pivoted to stirrups 44 on the radial arms of the shoes 6, thus bringing the shoes into operative position. The shoes are locked in this position by the ends of the arms 40 which engage in spring catches 36 ; but, when slipping ceases and the trailing wheels move back to their normal position, rollers 34 are brought by the levers 18, 20, 26, 27 against triggers 35 which release the arms 40 from the catches 36, allowing the shoes 6 to return to the inoperative position under the action of springs 42. In the case of circumferential slip of the wheels 2, a drum 59 mounted to be capable of lateral movement on the axle 10 of the trailing whels is rotated from the driving-wheels, by reason of the slipping, at a greater speed than a drum 57 mounted on the axle of the trailing wheel. This difference of speeds causes a pin 63 on the drum 57 to be moved along an inclined slot in the inner surface of the drum 59, thus forcirg this latter drum and a sleeve 56 along the axle 10 and operating the shoes 6 by the levers as before. The stops 32 can also be operated through a system of levers at the will of the driver, and means are provided for raising the trailing wheels from the ground or for forcing them into contact therewith.
