Abstract: 1290. Brumauld Des HouliÞres, J. M. A. Jan. 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors.-Fuel from a float-chamber e is supplied to a chamber c, whence it rises by capillary action through a wick or sponge i. The upper end of the'wick is fitted with a wire-gauze casing j which slides with friction in the tube h and serves to atomize the fuel. Hot air is supplied through the pipe m and is controlled by the valve o, and cold air enters through apertures l in the casing a and apertures k<1> in the choke-tube k. In a modification, the wick is annular, hot air being supplied through a pipe in the centre of the wick. A second gauze casing may surround the casing j at a distance of one or two millimetres. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the application of the wire-gauze casing to spraying-nozzles with " direct and " induced " suction respectively, the casing in one instance being provided with a pointed baffle apparently over the fuel-orifice.

Patent GB-191307427-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Regulation of Turbines and other Steam Engines from which Steam is Diverted at an Intermediate Stage.
IPC: F01D17/00
Filed: 1913-03-28
Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 7427. Vereinigte Dampfturbinen Ges. March 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Plant. - In turbines and steam - engines in which steam is tapped at an intermediate stage for heating and other purposes, the inlet valve to the low-pressure stage and the sleeve-load of the speed governor controlling the inlet valve to the high-pressure stage are simultaneously adjusted in accordance with the pressure at the tapped point by regulating-mechanism of the kind described in Specification 23,464/12. In a turbine comprising high and low pressure stages b, e, and having an intermediate chamber d tapped by a pipe c, a speed governor i is arranged to operate in the same sense the high and low pressure inlet valves g, f in accordance with the load on the turbine, and the pressure in the chamber d is utilized in conjunction with the extensible rod k of the valve f to operate the valves g, f in opposite senses. The rod k is fitted with a piston m working in a cylinder l and subjected above to the pressure of the fluid in the chamber d and below to the pressure of a spring n. An increase of pressure in the chamber d causes the valve f to open further, and the accompanying downward movement of the rod k tends through the spring o and lever p to close the valve g and vary the sleeve-load of the governor i. In a modification, the shifting of the valves f, g is effected indirectly by the speed and pressure governors through the medium of servomotors.

Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 7705. Leonzon-le-Duc, C. H., and Leymarie, A. E. April 3,1912, [Convention date]. Composite and pneumatic springs. - Consists in combining with the vehicle shock-absorber described in Specification 1510/13 a dash-pot device of known construction, the cylinder of the absorber being filled with liquid, and the piston being provided with a ball-valve, and being adapted to slide in a sleeve having bypasses in the form of tapering slots. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cylinder a filled with oil is pivotally connected to the wheel axle at one end and contains a piston h, the rod m of which is pivoted to a lever o mounted on a pin p on the dumb-iron q, and connected to the suspension spring n by a link r. The piston has a ball-valve j which permits free motion of the oil through it as the piston-rod is withdrawn against the action of a helical spring s but closes on the return motion, so that the oil is compelled to return through tapering slots g<1> in a sleeve g surrounding the piston, and thus the return motion is braked.

Abstract: 13,473. Laing, W. S. Sept. 28. Projectiles. - Consists in the provision in projectiles intended for destroying airships, of a charge of a compound or mixture which gives off oxygen when heated together with f i n e l y - divided metals of the platinum group. The projectile shown has a metal nose A, and a central rod B which is surrounded by a coherent charge C, consisting for example of potassium chlorate alone or mixed with sulphide of antimony. The charge has an outer coating D of finely-divided platinum and palladium. On penetrating the envelope of an airship, the metal coating becomes heated, and at a temperature below that of incandescence ignites the charge, which in turn ignites the balloon gas.
