Abstract: 19,483. Norris, J., and Hyde, S. A. Sept. 1. Vehicular lamps, directing.-Relates to lamp brackets for motor and other cycles, and for road vehicles, of the kind that can be swivelled either horizontally or vertically to throw the light on to side objects. The fork e<1> carrying the lamp A, Fig. 1, is connected to the cross-bead e by the universal or other joint f, Fig. 2. The cross-head e is supported by arms c which pass through a swivelling block d<2> mounted on a block d, which is carried by bars b passing through the clamp a. The arms c pass through the sidewings of the clamp a, so that when the lamp is to be operated, the arms c must be moved until their ends are clear of the clamp a. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, the members c are telescopically mounted in the members b, and the supporting-block d is carried by bars c' secured to the clamp a. The fork e<1> is connected to the cross-head e by a clamp e'.

Abstract: 23,422. Clegg, A. E. Oct. 24. Blowing.-Relates to the neck-forming parts of bottle-making machines of the kind described in Specification 27,971/04. The neck moulds are mounted on levers d, d' and are operated by a single handle h as described in Specification 12,105/12. The boss o of the handle h is formed with a cam 6 which engages a forked lever 7, when the handle h is moved, and so raises the nipple u, Fig. 4, which is fitted with a collar r resting on the forked end of the lever 7. The plunger v, Figs. 1 and 4, is operated by a handle 11 and connecting-rod 12, and can be held by a catch y, Fig. 1, so that its end is flush with the end of the nipple u. When the catch y is released, the plunger v is raised to the position v<5>, Fig. 4, by a spring 5 so as to admit the air for blowing. The position of the nipple u may be adjusted by means of the collar r and lock-nut t. In a modification, Fig. 5, the nipple u works in an outer auxiliary nipple u<1> which engages only the top edge of the bottle neck. The inner nipple u is withdrawn prior to blowing so that the air is admitted to the full width of the bottte mouth.

Abstract: 29,880. Higginbottom, J. June 28, 1913. Processes for reduction of grain.-A sifting and separating apparatus which may be combined with a self-contained system of two or more break or reduction roll sets comprises reciprocating sieves 5 through which the flour, dunst, and fine middlings fall to a spout 7, and the coarse middlings and semolina to a spout 10, and a fan 30 which produces a circulating current of air regulated by a valve 39. The current through the finer portion 5 of the sieve is restricted by the smallness of the apertures 32 so that only the lightest particles are removed and carried through passages 33, 35, mounted on the sieve, to a depositing chamber 37, The blast through the coarser portion 8 of the sieve is more intense and carries heavier particles up through rectangular passages in the plate o, and deposits them in receivers occupying the intermediate portions of the plate as described in Specification 876/04. Thence these particles are taken through passages 40, 41 to a conveyer 42 and a valved outlet at the side of the machine. The similar sieves following other breaks may be connected to the sieve 5, and a single fan may be employed to operate all the separators.

Abstract: 2726. Burgess, F. A. Feb. 3. Spray carburettors.-In a carburettor comprising a throttle valve C and a choke-flap B for regulating the cross-sectional area of the air passage in the immediate neighbourhood of the jet or jets a<2>, means are provided whereby, by the action of a single control-lever, (1) the throttle valve and the choke-flap can be adjusted simultaneously to any position between fully closed and fully open, and (2) the throttle valve can be left open and the choke-flap adjusted to positions between fully open and closed by a further movement of the same control lever. The movements are obtained by means of a cam C<3> which is secured by a pin to an arm C<2> clamped to the spindle C<1> of the throttle valve ; this cam acts on a roller B<4> carried by a plate B<3> loosely mounted on the spindle B' of the choke-flap, the movement of the plate B' being transmitted to the choke-flap through a pin B<5> adjustably mounted in a plate B<2> clamped to the spindle B<1>. After the choke-flap has been opened to its fullest extent, a further movement of the cam causes the roller B<4> to travel along an adjustable portion C<4> of the cam, thereby closing the choke-flap while the throttle remains open. The choke-flap can be adjusted independently of -the throttle by means of an arm B<7> and the cam can be disconnected from the arm C' so as to give independent control of the throttle. In the form described there are two fuel jets supplied from a float chamber A, each jet being controlled by an adjustable tapering pin a.

Abstract: 5951. Soc. Anon. des Anciens Etablissements Panhard Levassor. May 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Channels and reservoirs in engine crank casings. -In multi-cylinder engines with splash lubrication, the oil circulates continuously through a tank provided .with means to regulate the flow. On the wall of each compartment of the crank chamber is an inclined channel F, Fig. 3, which collects splashed oil and conducts it into the next compartment. From the end compartment the splashed oil is delivered to a tank G, from which it is returned to the first compartment by an inclined pipe or by a pump P, a regulating- valve R being provided in either case. As the quantity of oil splashed depends on the level of oil in the crank chamber, the arrangement tends automatically to maintain a constant level. Fig. 4 shows a a modification in which the splashed oil is delivered to a funnel I gauged to pass the quantity required for slow driving. The excess overflows to a tank which is fitted with a valve J operated in connexion with the inlet valve of the engine, so as to give a further supply of oil proportional to the speed of the engine. In a further modification, a pump forces the splashed oil to the tank G, and thence through a sight-glass to the first compartment of the crank chamber. An adjustable by-pass from the pump to the tank is used to regulate the supply.
