Abstract: 8184. Maranville, H. F. April 4. [Addition to 4243/12.] Reservoirs in engine crank casings. - In an engine for motor - vehicles &c. provided with splash lubrication, of the kind described in the parent Specification, the lower part of the crank casing consists of a sheet-metal section 6, secured in position by the flanged edges of an enclosing oil - reservoir 13, Fig. 2. Partitions 20 form separate compartments for the cranks, which are provided with curved hollow splashers 22. A slot 15 in the section 6, raised at the edge 18 towards which the crank moves, communicates with a chamber 14, into which sediment in the oil is swept by the motion of the part 22. The chamber 14 is provided at intervals with openings closed by plugs 25. A pump 27 draws oil from the reservoir 13 and forces it through a filter, whence it passes by a number of branch pipes 30 to the crank casing. The oil in the section 6 of the crank casing overflows by openings 125 to the reservoir. The oil level in the reservoir 13 is indicated by a device actuated by a float 31. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the sediment chamber 34 is formed by extending one side of the lower section 37 of the crank casing to one of the walls of the reservoir 13<a>, the outlet openings being through that wall.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Transmission of Electric Energy at a Distance without Connecting Wires and to a New System of Wireless Signalling.
Inventor: GALLETTI ROBERTO CLEMENS

Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 10,863. Galletti, R. C. May 7. Wireless telegraphy and telephony; electric oscillations, producing. - The transmitting- aerial is charged relatively slowly in one sense only and is impulsively discharged by means of a quenched spark, thus .producing unidirectional discharges of the aerial, which can be received by a distant aerial without the use of a detector, the formation of free oscillations in the receiving-aerial being prevented by the insertion in the aerial circuit of a high ohmic resistance, such as a telephone or relay. To obtain a rapid succession of aerial discharges, a number of quenched sparks S<1>, S<2>, S<3> ... S<n> are arranged to discharge successively in series with the aerial a in a manner similar to that described in Specification 15,497/10, each spark gap consisting of a number of gaps arranged in the field of an Oudin resonator d<1>, d<2> ... d<n> as described in Specification 10,639/11. The dynamo D is connected through an inductive resistance R to the aerial a and to one terminal of the spark-gaps, the other pole being connected through inductive resistances r<1> ... r<n> to the other terminal of the spark-gaps, these being also connected to Oudin resonators d<1> ... d<n>, and to condensers c<1> ... c<n> having a common earthed coating C. The discharge of the aerial and one of the capacities c<1>, say, through the gap s<1> sets up a field in the resonator d<2> which starts the discharge of the aerial and capacity c<2> through the gap s<2>, and so on. Fig. 2 shows the method by which the discharge cycles are controlled by the transmitting-key i. A second resonator e is mounted in front of one of the spark-gaps, say s<2>, and this solenoid is connected to the condensers f, f<1>, and supply mains M, N through inductive resistances, as shown. When the key i is raised, an arc discharge passes across the gap h. without affecting the resonator e, but when the key is depressed, a spark-discharge occurs across the gap h, energizing the resonator e, the field of which starts the cycle of discharges in the gap s<2>. The ends d<x>, e<x> of the solenoids d<2>, e are brought near together, so that the cycle of discharges may be stopped when both coils are energized together, the fields of the two coils neutralizing each other. In wireless telephony, a microphone is arranged in the potential node of each of the resonators d<1>... d<n>, these microphones being controlled by electric means from a single microphone. Specification 12,633/07 is also referred to.

Abstract: 21,483. Aktiebolaget Separator. Sept. 21, 1911, [Convention date]. Channels and reservoirs in bearings.-A device for continuously lubricating the bearings of shafts in machines comprises a wheel b dipping into oil in the bottom of a casing a. Oil splashed by the wheel is collected in channels d on the wall of the casing, and is conveyed by passages e to the outer ends of the bearings. Helical passages f, f<1> in the shaft or in the bearings cause the oil to flow inwardly through the bearings and to return to the oil-well. If one bearing requires more oil than the other, the highest point of the channel d may be placed nearer the bearing that requires less oil: In the case of the bearings for the lower shaft, collecting-passages i, i<1> are formed in the bushes h, h<1>. A constant level of oil is maintained in the casing by means of an overflow pipe; and fresh oil is supplied continuously from a sight-feed or other lubricator on the upper part of the casing.

Abstract: 22,035. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Sept. 27. Isoprene; olefines; chlorparaffins; chlorolefines.-Isoprene is obtained by a chlorination process from a petrol fraction consisting of normal and iso pentanes. The mixture is chlorinated by means of chlorine &c., and the monochlorpentanes separated from other substances by distillation. During the latter step, any chlortetramethylmethane that may be present is isomerized to 2-methyl-2-chlorbutane. Hydrochloric acid is then removed from the mixture of mono-chlorpentanes and the resulting amylenes treated with cold hydrochloric acid whereby trimethylethylene alone forms a 2-chlorisopentane. The remaining amylenes are isomerized by means of heated alumina &c., and again treated with cold hydrochloric acid, the operations being again repeated if necessary. The homogeneous monochlorisopentane obtained is either further chlorinated to produce a dichlor derivative, or is treated for the removal of hydrochloric acid, and the resulting trimethylethylene treated with sulphuryl chloride or chlorine to produce a dichlor derivative. When chlorine is used a chlormethylbutene is also obtained. The product of either of these alternative processes is then converted into isoprene by removal of hydrochloric acid. In the chlorination processes described the vapours of the hydrocarbons are treated with chlorine in the presence of actinic rays or the silent electric discharge. Specifications 4572/10, 9721/11, 10,826/11, 17,291/11, 18,356/11, 277/12, 3870/12, 4766/12, 5125/12, 6497/12, 18,653/12, and 19,764/12 are referred to.

Abstract: 8280. Hesselman, K. J. E. April 23, 1912, [Convention date]. Actuating from reversible shaft.-A fuel-pump, for internal-combustion engines which are started and reversed by means of compressed air, is actuated by two clutching-devices, each acting for one direction of rotation of the driving-shaft, the arrangement being such that, on reversal of the engine, one of the clutches is put out of operation and the other put into operative position to drive the pump as soon as the direction of rotation of the shaft changes. In the arrangement shown, the pump 2 is operated by an eccentric 5 forming part of a sleeve 6 mounted on the shaft 7. An outer sleeve 12, which can slide longitudinally upon the sleeve 6 and contains a bevelled recess 14, is connected to the reversing-gear of the engine by a lever 13. Motion is transmitted from the shaft 7 to the sleeve 6 by two pawls 8, 9 pivoted to the sleeve 6 and engaging with notches in the shaft 7. When the outer sleeve 12 is shifted along the shaft, the pawl 8 is forced out of engagement with the shaft 7 by the action of the bevelled recess 14, and the pawl 9 comes into operative position as soon as the recess 14 releases its outer end. The sleeve 6 and eccentric 5 remain stationary under these conditions while the shaft 7 is slowing down ; but as soon as the shaft reverses, motion is transmitted to the sleeve 6 through the pawl 9.
