Title: Improvements in Packing for Pistons.
Inventor: WILLIAMS HUGH JONES
IPC: F16J9/08
Filed: 1913-04-04
Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 7903. Williams, H. J. April 4. Pistons; piston packing.-In internal combustion and other engines, undue expansion of the piston packing by fluid pressure behind the packing is prevented by the action of the fluid pressure on an additional gripping-ring with a bevelled surface coacting with a similar surface on the piston. The gripping-ring 2, Fig. 5, may be a split ring or a segmental ring expanded by a spring, and it may act on the packing-ring 4 directly, or through the medium of a non-expanding ring 3. Fluid is admitted to the packing by a passage 7. The ring 4 may be a segmental ring expanded by a spring, or may be a split ring. In the latter case, if the gripping action of the ring 2 is not sufficient, the ring 4 may be formed with a bevelled surface engaging the non-expanding ring 3. The latter is formed in segments secured together by pins 25. Alternatively additional friction surfaces may be obtained by lugs 16, Fig. 7, cast or secured inside the ring 4. The second packing-ring 4<b>, Fig. 5, may also be provided with a gripping-ring 2, fluid being admitted behind the packing by passages 7<a>. The gap in the ring 4 may be closed by a wedge piece 10, Fig. 2, pressed outwards by a spring 12 and guided by a pin 11 entering a slot 27. When a segmental packing-ring 4 is used, the joints are closed by plates 5, Fig. 4, secured to the end of one segment and having a bevelled surface 28 acting on the other segment. The plates are acted on by the packing expanding spring 14. When a segmental wedge ring is used, its joints are closed by wedge pieces. In the piston shown in Fig. 7, the head is formed separate from the body 8, and is secured to it by a ring 23 and studs 22, 24.
Patent GB-191308279-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Production of Sulphur from Pyrites and other Metallic Sulphides.
Inventor: HALL WILLIAM AUGUSTUS
Filed: 1913-04-08
Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 8279. Hall, W. A. April 8. Sulphur is obtained from pyrites or other sulphides, such as pyrrhotite and copper sulphides of all kinds, by applying to the ore, directly, a reducing-flame high in free hydrogen, the balance being composed of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and a regulated quantity of oxygen (about 1 volume of air to 2 of reducing- gas) just sufficient to combine with the reducing-gas, and of hydrogen and sulphuretted hydrogen set free in the course of the reactions. The flame must not be oxidizing and so lead to the formation of any substantial quantity of sulphur dioxide. Most of the hydrogen goes into water of which part is again decomposed into its elements at the high temperature in contact with the hot metal of the ore, which is thereby oxidized, the hydrogen set free again burning with the free oxygen entering the furnace. The sulphur formed is withdrawn as vapour at a level above that of the oxygen admission.

Filed: 1913-04-08
Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 8285. Ermold, E. April 12, 1912, [Convention date]. Pile supports for sheet feeds; sheet-separators. - In sheet-feeding mechanism, particularly of the kind used for labelling-machines, and having a gummed picker 18 for gumming and removing the lowest label of a pile 10 held in a receptacle by fingers 9 engaging the edges of the lowest label and pushed downwards by a follower 11, the follower is locked against upward movement while the picker is pressed against the lowest label and is then released so as to relieve most of the pressure while the label is separated from the pile. In the form shown, a pawl 17 engages the toothed rod 13 which bears against the follower 11, through a stiff spring 37, and allows the picker 18 to be pressed firmly against the lowest sheet. On the downward movement of the picker 18, a cam bar 32 is rocked and lifts the pawl 17, thus freeing the rod 13 from all pressure.

Buoy signals; signals indicating proximity of vessels.-Arrangements for showing the position and movements of, and in some cases for injuring, submarine vessels, comprise a light network or entanglement a supported from one or more buoys b which may be floating on the surface or anchored submerged. Auxiliary floats c secured to the main buoys by lines c' may be added, so that should the main buoys be kept submerged by a submarine entangled in and dragging the net, the float c will remain on the surface to indicate the movements of the submarine. The net may comprise vertical wires suspended from a cross-bar f<1> and carrying cross wires or bars f.
