Abstract: 19,419. Vogliotti, P. Aug. 27. Jacks.-The wheel of a vehicle is run upon a wedge - shaped support, and after the vehicle is jacked up by independent means, the support may be collapsed and easily withdrawn. In the form shown in Fig. 1, two frames 1, 2 are pivoted together at 3. Pivoted extensions 1<1>, 2<1> may be provided to fold down when the apparatus is collapsed. The frame 2 has pivoted to it a stay 5, on which can rest a block 6 of a cross-bar of the frame. A rod 8, with the handles 10 and a pawl 9, is provided so that the stay 5 can be knocked out when it is desired to collapse the apparatus. In a modification, the stay 5 is engaged by a cross-bar pivoted to the upper frame, a hand-lever with a pawl for disengagement of the stay 5 being pivoted to the bar. In another modification, shown in Fig. 5, a cross-bar 6<11> of the frame 1 rests on an eccentric pivoted to a support 12 on the lower frame and provided with a handle 13. In a further modification, this apparatus is duplicated, two eccentrics being connected by a shackle forming the handle. In this form, when the apparatus is collapsed, an ordinary jack when not required may be stowed between the frames 1, 2. In the form shown in Fig. 10, the lower plate is dispensed with, and feet 15<1> are pivoted to the frame 4 and are connected by a shackle 16 to a sliding block 17 hooked to engage a pivoted catch 21, which may be released to collapse the apparatus by means of a trigger 24. Figs. 14 and 15 show another form. in which the frames 4<1>, 4<11> are pivoted together by a pin 26, upon which is mounted a stirrup 16<1>, while a stirrup 15<11>, terminating in feet 15<1> and pivoted to the frame 4<1> is provided at the bottom with across-bar 27 on which is mounted a sleeve 28, in a transverse hole of which the stirrup 16<1> slides. A pawl 29 locks the apparatus in the position shown, and may be released by a button 24<1> when it is desired to allow the stirrup 16<1> to slide. This form may be folded up as shown in dotted lines.

Title: Improvements in Piston Pumps for Imparting Motion to Reciprocating Columns of Air.
Inventor: NEWTON PHILIP ARTHUR
IPC: F04B25/02
Filed: 1914-02-03
Granted: 1914-08-27
Abstract: 2839. Newton, P. A., [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. Feb. 3. Piston pumps. - Relates to piston pumps for imparting motion to reciprocating columns of air for the actuation of pneumatic tools &c. According to the invention, the ratio of the mean pressures of the reciprocating columns is varied by means of an adjustable check valve located in a passage connecting the opposite sides of the pulsator piston. The invention is shown in connexion with a device comprising a pulsator piston 3 and a pump piston 13 for making up leakage losses, actuated by an electric motor 26, the piston 3 imparting motion to the air in hose-pipes 7, 8 connected to the piston of a tool (not shown). The passage 19 is provided with a check valve in the form of a ball 20 controlled by an adjustable spring, while the lift of the valve may also be controlled by means of an adjusting-screw 23. For administering light blows, the valve is held on its seat, so that the maximum mean pressure is maintained in the pipe 8 by the pump piston, which delivers to the underside of the pulsator piston.

Abstract: 4295. MacÚ, J. Feb. 19. [Addition to 12,091/13.] Spherical-trigonometry calculators. -Relates to apparatus of the kind described in the parent Specification for solving problems in spherical trigonometry and astronomy, and consists in employing part of a spherical surface only instead of a sphere. The spherical surface 2 is mounted adjustably on a cranked radius 40 on a T-piece 3, having movement round vertical and horizontal axes, and carried by a spindle 6 which can be rotated by worm gear 10, 11 which also drives a clock-hands mechanism 12. The spindle 6 is carried in a body 7 which can be rotated around a fixed horizontal spindle 15 to parallelism with the polar axis and is clamped by a screw 39. An arm 8 of the body 7 supports a pivoted arm 17 movable by a worm gear 50, 51 according to the reading of a pointer and scale 28, 27 ; and a bracket 18 on the arm 17 supports a similarly movable arc 26, the rotation of which is indicated by a pointer and scale 23, 24. The scales and pointers can be held at any setting by set-screws so as to allow for any necessary position of the spherical surface, the radius of which is cranked for the same reason. A slider 30 on the arc 26 carries a scribing-point 31 or an optical sighting-pointer. The movements of the arm 17 and arc 26 are around axes intersecting in the centre of the spherical surface. Problems can be solved by this apparatus involving altitude, azimuth, time, identification of stars and the like. -

Abstract: 8886. Gray, E. E. Feb. 18, [Convention date]. Controlling variablespeed gearing.-Relates to variable-speed gearing for automobiles &c., the gear being changed by the disengaging movement of the clutch pedal. The clutch pedal is connected by a link 21 to a bracket 20 on a slide 18, which carries a pawl 22 spaced at a small distance from one arm 16 of a toothed sector 15 pivoted on the framing. A plunger 3, with a circular rack 13 engaging the sector, turns with, but slides on, a rod 6 rotated by an indicating-mechanism on the steering-column, and has a head 8 carrying a spring-pressed pawl 10. By the indicating-mechanism, the pawl 10 can be turned into position to engage a notch 30 in any one of a set of gear-operating rods 27, 28, 29, arranged as described in Specification 16,012/13, when the plunger 3 is in its extreme right-hand position. Lowering of the clutch pedal first disengages the clutch and then brings the pawl 22 into engagement with the arm 16, so that the head 8 engages a shoulder 31 on the rod 29 last operated and moves it to the right into its neutral position. The bracket 20 then engages the head 8 and, by means of the pawl 10, moves the rod selected to operative position. Slots 33 in the rods facilitate the setting of the pawl 10.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Carburetters for Internal-combustion Engines.
IPC: F02M9/08
Filed: 1915-02-26
Abstract: 3108. Brown, C., and Brown & Barlow. Feb. 26. Spray carburretors. - A rotary throttle valve with its axis at right angles to the axis of the carburettor passage is provided with means for admitting additional air direct to its interior, the capacity of such air-admitting means being unaffected by adjustment of the throttle. A by-pass device is also described. The air inlet o, Fig. 2, and mixture outlet b are controlled by the throttle valve c, the passage through which decreases in area from each end towards the axis. The fuel nozzle enters at d, and additional air is admitted through holes h, chamber g, and port f. The holes h are controlled by an adjustable shutter i which, when locked by the nut k, moves with the throtle valve. In the closed position of the throttle valve, a by-passage m, Figs. 2 and 3, connects the mixture outlet with a notch n, which communicates with the atmosphere through an opening o. Fuel is supplied to the passage m from a submerged jet r, Fig. 3, through a nozzle p, groove s, and passage q when the throttle is in the closed position. When the throttle is fully or nearly fully open, the fuel from the nozzle p passes through a groove t, Fig. 2, and conduit u into the main mixture passage, so that both the main and pilot jets are in action together. When the engine is stopped, fuel accumulates in a chamber x, Fig. 3, floods the jet r, and facilitates starting. As fuel leaves the chamber x, air enters by the inlet v and slot 6. A wire 9 facilitates withdrawal of the cylinder 3 forming the chamber x. The main and pilot jets are of the submerged type as described in Specification 8460/14.
