Title: Improvements in or relating to Carburettors for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: DICKER STANLEY GORDON SINCLAIR
IPC: F02M7/133
Filed: 1912-08-06
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 18,124. Dicker, S. G. S., [Stromberg Motor Devices Co.]. Aug. 6. Spray carburettors.- The suction on the main nozzle 18 can be increased at starting by throttling the primary air inlet. The fuel supply to the nozzle can be regulated but only between limits, and the load on the secondary air valve can be adjusted during running. The orifice 18 in the nozzle fixes the maximum supply of fuel, and the orifice 26 in a valve 23 the minimum supply, intermediate amounts being obtained by lowering the valve 23 off its seat. The end of the nozzle 19 is arranged at the vertex of the lower conical portion 30 of the choke tube, the upper diverging part 31 of which causes the air and fuel to mix thoroughly. A hot-water jacket surrounds the choke tube. The primary air is controlled by a valve 36, which is lifted against a spring 38 by means of a forked lever pivoted at 40. The spring 95 controlling the secondary air valve 82 can be permanently adjusted by the rotation of the screwed plug 88 and the connected cap 91, accidental displacement being prevented by a spring-pressed bolt 100. The spring 95 can be temporarily adjusted by means of a lever 104 and the thimble 89 which normally rests on the plug 88. The second fuel nozzle is opened simultaneously with the valve 82 by means of a lever 112 and a nut 114. The float chamber consists of a glass cylinder 43. The valve 55 is closed by a spring 61<1>, the compression of which can be adjusted by a nut 64. A lifting cap 70 is secured to the top of the valve spindle, and a throttle 75 is provided in the outlet of the carburettor.

Title: Improvement in Platen Shifts for Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: PETERMANN OTTO
IPC: B41J1/14
Filed: 1912-09-16
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 21,059. Petermann, O. Oct. 14, 1911, [Convention date]. Carriage - shift mechanism and shift-key actions, particularly for folding machines in which the carriage-bed 18 is pivoted at 17 to a shift-frame consisting of side-bars 15 secured to slides 14 connected by a cross-bar 30. To ensure that an equal and uniform movement is given to both sides of the shift - frame, stops and guides for the cross-bar 30 are provided at both sides; further the shift-frame is stayed by an additional cross-bar 31 and is rendered selfadjusting by enlarging the guides 13, 13<a> at 13<x> and providing one of them with a transversely elongated aperture. The cross-bar 30 is engaged closely by the slotted ends 29 of arms 27, 28 secured to a rock-shaft 23, the arm 28 being prolonged and provided with a ' Figure ' key 34. The Capital' shift-lever 35 is loose on the rock-shaft 23 and is provided with an elongated slot 39<a> to receive the cross-bar 30. The lever 35 may also be provided with a stud 38 engaging a slot 39 in the lever 28. The connexions between the levers 28, 35 enable the lever 28 to be depressed without movement of the lever 35. The stops 57, 58 for limiting the lift of the shift-frame are provided at both ends of the cross-bar 30 and co-operate with a transversely arranged stop-bar 41 which can be moved lengthways in brackets 40 by the cam-end 55 of the lever 35. When the lever 28 is depressed the shift-frame is given the full lift, the long stops 57 passing through apertures 48, 49 in the brackets and the stop-bar and the short stops 58 arresting the shift-frame by engaging the brackets. When the lever 35 is depressed, the shift-frame is given the half lift, the stopbar being moved by the cam to cover the apertures 49 and the shift-frame being arrested by the engagement of the longer stops with the stop-bar. The stop-bar is returned by a spring 51. The stops are screwed into the cross-bar, and can be locked in the adjusted position by nuts 60. The brackets 40 are formed with slots 45 for guiding the cross-bar. The shift-frame is counterbalanced by a spring 61, Fig. 8, arranged between a lug 61<a> on the arm 27 and a screw 62 adjustable by a thumb-nut 62<b>. The lever 35 is held in the normal position by a spring 39<c> arranged between a lug 39<d> on the lever and a pin 35<c> which serves as a stop for the lever. Key locks.-The locking-lever 63, Fig. 1, is provided with lugs 66, 71, the lugs 66 being adapted to engage recesses 68, 69 in the levers 28, 35 and lock them depressed, and the lug 71 being adapted to engage beneath a lug 70 on the lever 28 and prevent operation of either of the levers. The movement of the locking-lever is limited by wings 65.

Granted: 1914-07-07
Abstract: 8187. Jerrard, E. P., and Jerrard, P. April 7. Clutches and speed-varying mechanism.-Two pumps, such as those described in Specification 11,001/11, or of other form, are coupled hydraulically and mechanically, the second pump acting as a motor for motor-vehicles, locomotives, &c. There may be several of these secondary pumps or motors. Fig. 5 shows one arrangement. The pump casing A is driven by a prime-mover, the shaft of which is bolted to the flange 27 and carries within it a disk 2 with sliding abutments acting as a pump. The eccentricity of the disk 2 may be varied by a wedge-piece 6 moved by a sleeve 4 and hand-lever 8. The disk 2 rotates the mainshaft by the squared piece 9. Liquid is thus circulated through pipes 16, 18 to work the motor, which consists of a fixed casing a, disk 2<a>, wedge 6<a> and hand-lever 8<a> similar to the pump. The mainshaf rotates with the disk 2<a> so that the two disks 2, 2<a> always rotate together. Ports are arranged at 15, 15<a>, 15<b>, 15<c> communicating with the pipes 16, 17, 18. Chambers 20, 21 are included in the fluid circuit for enabling the machine to ba started up under load, which is done by reversing the change-over valve 25. An air-chamber is provided at 23, a safety-valve 24, and a filling-plug 22. Pipes convey any leakage to the tank 20. When the disks 2, 2<a> are both concentric, the prime-mover runs free, and when the disk 2 is eccentric and the disk 2<a> concentric, there is a solid drive. To prevent a bursting pressure from occurring, a channel 16<a> with a non - return valve 16<b> is provided.
