Title: Improvements in Auxiliary Motors for Reversing Reversible Internal Combustion Motors.
Inventor: HESSELMAN KNUT JONAS ELIAS
Filed: 1908-07-31
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 16,301. Hesselman, K. J. E. July 31. Gas and like engines.- A reversible auxiliary engine without dead centres, for starting or reversing the direction of motion of an internal - combustion engine and for use as an air - compressor for scavenging, is provided with distributing - gear which enables the control of the auxiliary engine to be effected without altering the setting of the valves. The engine has two vertical double-acting cylinders 1, 2, and each piston overruns an exhaust port 23 at the end of each stroke. Each cylinder has two valves 3, 4 and 5, 6, which are driven from an overhead countershaft and are connected to a multiple-way valve 15, which may be moved by a hand-lever 21 into four positions. In the position shown, the auxiliary engine is driven forwards by the main engine ; air is drawn in from the atmosphere through a valve 20 and the valves 3, 5 during the period a-b, Fig. 3, and is delivered during the period e-a through the valves 4, 6 and pipe 19 to a reservoir for scavenging ; the terminal exhaust port is open during the period c-d. When the lever 21 is moved further to the left, catches 26, 24 on the valve 15 open a valve 17 communicating with a pressure reservoir and close the valve 20 leading to atmosphere, so that the engine is driven forwards for starting the main engine, and, after the terminal exhaust port is closed, the cylinder contents are delivered during the period e-a to the pipe 19 as before. When the lever 21 is thrown to the right, the link 22 adjusts the internal-combustion engine for reverse running, the valves 4, 6 are placed in communication with the atmosphere through the valve 20, or with the pressure reservoir through the valve 17, and the valves 3, 5 are placed in communication with the pipe 19. The engine then operates in the reverse direction either as a compressor or as a motor, the valves 4, 6 serving as admission valves during the period a-e, and the valves 3-5 serving as exhaust valves during the period b-a.

Abstract: 21,263. Fessenden, R. A. Oct. 31, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Wireless telegraphy; converting alternating and direct currents.-Electric oscillations are produced and sustained in a circuit by altering periodically the resistance of a microphonic contact in the circuit by means of an electro-magnet also included in the circuit, or by external means. The vibrating part of the microphone may be attached to a spring or a vibrating rod, and it may be vibrated by a hammer operated by an electromagnet in an alternating current circuit, or by a change of magnetic flux caused by a rotating wheel. A receiving-relay is also described, in which the receiving currents vary a microphonic resistance in a separate circuit. The carbon or beryllium granules 32 form a microphonic contact between the plate 22 and the aluminium or magnalium element 23, which is supported by a short stiff torsion spring 24. The core 25 of the electromagnet 27, also included in the circuit, oscillates the element 23 to vary periodically the microphonic resistance, the period being determined by the spring 24. The core of the electro-magnet 27 may be separated from the element 23, and this may then consist of soft iron to be attracted directly by the core, or of silver or the like to be repelled. The circuit is inductively connected to the antennae 33 for use in wireless telegraphy.

Title: Automatic Warp-delivering Device for Looms.
Inventor: SCHMIDT FRIEDRICH AUGUST
IPC: D03D49/06
Filed: 1909-09-23
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 21,733. Schmidt, F. A. Sept. 23. Creel-frame arrangements; l e tting -off warps.- In let-off devices of the type in which the warp roller or bobbin is released at intervals by means controlled by the warp-tensioning weight, the warp roller &c. when released is coupled either directly or indirectly to a continuously-rotating disk, so that the speed of rotation of the warp roller &c. is limited and variation in the warp tension is minimized. In one form, Fig. 2, a disk 3 is driven by spur - wheel or worm gearing and has pivoted upon it brake blocks 10, which are pressed by springs against a flange 7 on the rim 6 of the warp bobbin 5 loosely mounted on the extended nave 4 of the disk. The warp thread 19 is guided by an eye 20 and passes round a pulley in a block 17 having an attached weight 16. As the block 17 is raised, it acts upon a pivoted detent 12 and releases a nose 13 on the bobbin, whereupon the bobbin tends to rotate under action of the warp tension. The brake blocks 10 are jammed against the flange 7 and the bobbin and disk are coupled together, so that the bobbin cannot rotate faster than the disk, of which the speed is adjusted to suit the requirements. In a modified form, the brake blocks are pivoted on a disk secured to the warp bobbin and are pressed by springs against the inner face of a flange on the driven disk. A nose on the former disk is normally engaged by a detent, which is supported by a guide-roller and is connected to a pivoted bellcrank lever adapted to be acted upon by the warp pulley-block. In another form, Fig. 5, a warp roller 31 is geared to a disk 35 forming one part of a free-wheel roller clutch, the other part being the driven disk 3. A nose 38 on the disk 35 is normally engaged by a nose 39 on a detent lever 41, to which is pivotally connected a hook 48 resting on a saddle 49. Projections 42 on the disk 3 oscillate a -lever 45, to which is attached a push-rod 46 sliding on a bolt 47. When the block 17 of the warp-tension pulley rises, it lifts the hook 48, which is engaged by the push-rod 46, so that the detent lever 41 is moved and the disk 35 is released. The warp roller 31 is free to rotate and drive the disk 35, which thereupon becomes clutched to the disk 3.

A wheel B, Fig. 1, secured to a driving- sbaft A is in the form of a cone having tapering gear recesses or teeth which necessarily vary in pitch. Rings of teeth C<4>, D<4> are adapted to be moved along converging guide slots C<3>, D<3> in cylinders C, D so as to form toothed wheels of variable pitch capable of gearing properly at any part of the cone B. Except in the configuration shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the rings of teeth C<4>, D<4> are necessarily interrupted as shown in Fig. 4. For this reason the two cylinders C, D are used geared together and to a driven shaft A<2> so that there is always one of them operative. As the teeth C<4>, D<4> are moved to the right, the speed of the shaft A<2> diminishes. The cylinders C, D are fitted internally with cores E, Figs. 2, 3, and.4, against which the teeth C<4>, D<4> rest. The teeth C<4>, D<4> are operated collectively and in unison by slidable sleeve E', connected together and having semicircular slots E<2> carrying the teeth. The cores E are tapered and the teeth C', D' shaped with a view to getting correct gearing engagement. Reversed driving is effected from a gear G<3> on the shaft A through idlers to the teeth C<4>, D<5>.
