Title: Improvements in Shuttles of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: SIDEBOTHAM MARTIN HENRY
Filed: 1905-09-19
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 18,870. Sidebotham, M. H., and Chambers, J. Sept. 19. Loom shuttles. - The blade spring 1 of a pivoted shuttle peg 2 is compressed when the peg is raised out of the shuttle, to permit a cop or pirn to be placed on the peg without resistance. The spring 1 passes through a hole 3 formed in the head 4 of the peg, and has an incline 5. When the peg is raised, the incline comes in contact with a transverse pin or projection 6 in the shuttle, and the spring 1 is thereby compressed towards the peg. The head 4 of the peg is recessed to receive a helical spring 8, which reinforces the spring 1.

Title: Improvements in Vehicle Axles.
Inventor: HEYENGA MARTIN WILKEN
Filed: 1905-09-28
Granted: 1906-01-25
Abstract: 19,643. Heyenga, M. W. Sept. 28. Axles; steering.- To prevent the wheels from passing under the body of a buggy or other vehicle when making sharp turns, and to minimize shocks, the axle is formed with a centre portion 5, Fig. 2, to which the spindles 8 are pivotally connected by means of coupling - members 10. The parts of the axle are normally held in alinement by springs 16, mounted in brackets 15 fastened to the coupling-members 10 and adapted to be compressed by arms 7 attached to the spindles. The compression of the spring is limited by a stop 18, and the wheels are prevented from coming into contact with the body 6 by brackets 29. Fig. 5 shows a modified arrange. ment in which a bolt 31 passes through the arms 7 and through a slot 32 in the coupling-members 10'. A spring 33 is placed on the bolt 31, and is compressed when the spindles move out of alinement with the centre member 5. Shafts and poles.-To the coupling-member 10 is fixed a plate 20, slotted at 21 to receive the lugs 23, Fig. 8, of a thill block 24. The thill blocks may be adjusted longitudinally in the slots, and are attached to the shafts 19, Fig. 2, by pins 26.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: MCDONALD DONALD FORBES
Filed: 1906-01-11
Granted: 1907-01-11
Abstract: 803. McDonald, D. F., [Barnes, W. O.]. Jan. 11. Gas and like engines.-Fig. 1 shows a compound engine in which two highpressure cylinders a', a<3>, working on a four-stroke cycle, alternately discharge into a central low-pressure cylinder a<2>. Explosive mixtures of petrol or gasolene and air are drawn into the inlet pipes p<1>, p<2> through valves v<1>, v<2>, Fig. 6, and enter the cylinders a', a3 through cam operated valves v<4>, v<7> respectively. Valves v<5>, v<6> and v<8>, v<9> control the passage of the products of combustion from the explosion cylinders a<1>, a<3> to the low-pressure cylinder a<2>. The lowpressure exhaust valve is shown at v<10>. The engine cylinders are cast in one with the crank chamber, and a single cover D closes the open ends of both the high and low pressure cylinders. The valve seats are held in position in the cylinder head by screwed collars o<8>, which bear on copper rings shown in position at o<7>, Fig. 1. Carburetting.-Air entering the induction pipes p<1>, p<2> is carburetted by liquid fuel admitted through ports o<3>, o<4>, Fig. 6, in the seats of the air-inlet valves v<1>, v<2> respectively. The supply of fuel is regulated by a needle valve v<3>. Reversing; starting; stopping; igniting; valves and valve-gear.-The cylinder admission valves v<4>, v<7> are operated by independent cams s<18>, s<20>, Fig. 5, which transmit motion to rollers k<1>, carried in followers h<1>, engaging with the ends of the valve rods. Each pair of valves v<5>, v<6>; v<8>, v<9> is operated by a single cam s<15>, s<16>, and the exhaust valve v<10> by the cain s<17>. The cam shaft s<4> is driven by a gearwheel g<3>, which is mounted on a sleeve s' having a pin s<5> working in a helical groove s<6> in the end of the cam shaft. The cams s<18>, s<20> and the sleeve carrying the commutator s<11> are all driven through pins working in helical grooves in the surrounding sleeves s<1>, s<12>. By imparting a longitudinal movement to the cam shaft s<4>, the phase of the cams . may be adjusted for backward running. The cylinder charges are normally fired by the heat of compression, the engiue being stopped by opening the' inlet valves during part of the compression stroke; this operation has the effect of reducing, tfie compression pressure to below the ignition point. At starting, the position of the cam shaft is adjusted to bring into operation cams for holding open the inlet valves until the engine has attained sufficient speed to fire its own charges by the heat of compression. The holding open of the inlet valves decreases the compression pressure by increasing the capacity of the combustion space The charges are fired, at starting, by electricity, the circuit being completed when the lever L' engages with either of the contacts e<1>, e<2>.

Abstract: 8518. Wright, M. S. April 9. Automatic instruments.-Pneumatic actions for keyboard instrument players are constructed chiefly of metal, in a compact form such that the parts may be readily and separately removed. The vacuum chamber 45, Fig. 5, is formed by soldering together two metal trays, each having offset portions 64 with apertures at intervals and enclosing spacing-rings 65 of the form shown in Fig. 7. Through each pair of apertures passes a short flanged tube 67, communicating through holes 70 with the vacuum chamber, and through holes 96 with the secondary pneumatic and opening into a valve chamber 69. A flanged sleeve 105 and washers 74, 108, 109 are provided, and the parts are fixed by screwing the secondary pneumatic upon the tube 67. The primary pneumatic consists of a flanged cup 22 and shell 24 united by turning one flange over the other, thereby clamping the edges of the diaphragm 30, on which rests a wooden follower 34 with a valve stem 38. The primary pneumatic screws on to a flanged hollow block 26, which is inserted in an aperture in the hollow arm 29 integral with the cover of the secondary pneumatic. The valve chamber 69 is preferably formed integral with the metal coverplate 79 of the motor pneumatic. and is threaded to receive an annular valve-seat 90, stamped from sheet metal and integral with a flanged cover 91. The valve stem 99, on which are adjustably mounted the valve disks 103, 104, is mounted in wooden bushings 97, 98 and is controlled by a spring 101. Air is admitted thrbugh an opening 93 formed in the underside of the cover 91, close to the top of the pneumatic, to prevent the admission of dust. The motor pneumatic consists of metal plates 79, 81 with wooden linings and leather or rubber cloth 83, the plates being hinged on a pintle 88. The pipe 110 is soldered to the member 24 of the primary pneumatic and connected to a nipple 112 soldered to the vacuum chamber. The tube 8<a> is connected by a screw coupling 21 to a pipe 8, the upper end of which is flanged and is clamped with a washer 13, Fig. 2, to the flanged end of a pipe 7 leading from the tracker duct. The clamping plate 14 is flanged at 16 and slotted at 15, and is common to the whole row of tubes, being divided by slots into tongues, each pressed down by a screw 18. Exhausting and regulating bellows, regulating-valves, and foot-gear of the usual type are provided.
