Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 17,253. Udall, J. C. July 24. Stencils for printing on metal, wood, fabrics, &c. are made by coating a netting 2 of suitable mesh, while stretched taut over a flat surface, with sensitized gelatine, and, after exposure, washing away the unexposed parts. The netting is preferably of French lawn or Organdy, and is stretched over and securely fastened by the edges to a polished zinc or other flat plate. One or more coats of sensitized gelatine or the like are then applied, and are exposed to light behind a grained photographic negative or other transparency ; the unexposed portions are then washed away, leaving the exposed portions 5, 6 stuck to the plate and the bare netting between them. The stencil thus formed is dried and stripped from the plate, which may be coated previously with ox-gall to facilitate this.

Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 18,680. Dier, F. F., and Primeau, M. Aug. 13. Lighting-torches, electric.-For lighting gas &c., more especially in connexion with stoves, sparks are produced by a cylindrical hand instrument 10, which has insulated spring plates 22, 25 connected with a battery.

Abstract: 25,638. Waterhouse, A. G., and Bourne, T. F. Nov. 6. Alcoholic liquids, distilling ; progressive evaporators.-In order to ensure the complete removal of the alcohol or other volatile body, the supply of liquid to a still is regulated in accordance with the temperature of the exhausted liquid by means of a thermostatic device in which the pressure of an expansible fluid controls the supply valve. The still 4 is divided into two compartments c, d, by a floor 9. The ccmpartment d is provided with pockets 7 and partitions 8, so that the liquid traverses a zigzag path between the inlet 3 and the discharge pipe 10 leading to the compartment c. A pipe 14 in the compartment c contains a volatile fluid, such as alcohol solution, the pressure of which acts on a diaphragm 12 against an adjustable weight 16 or a spring, and thus controls the supply valve 11. The liquid is preliminarily heated in an exchanger 2 by means of the exhausted liquid leaving the still by a pipe 5. The compartments c, d communicate by pipes 17, 20 with a condenser or rectifier 40, from which a reflux pipe 22 returns to the still, while the desired distillates are condensed in a worm 24 by the cooled exhausted liquid from the exchanger 2. Surface condensers.-The condenser 40 comprises tubes mounted in a casing having an air-inlet 41 and an air-outlet 42 controlled by a damper 43.

Title: Improvements in Igniting in Multi-cylinder Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: PATTERSON JOHN HENRY
IPC: F02B75/02
Filed: 1910-05-02
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 10,814. Patterson, J. H., and Rawson, C. May 2. Two - stroke - cycle engines driving - gear.- In engines in which ignition is effected by a flame from an adjoining cylinder, the piston extensions or part-annular sleeves for controlling the flame - transfer passages are constructed of greater length than the travel of the pistons. Fig. 2 shows a section through a six cylinder engine having pairs of cross-connected cylinders of two diameters and piston extensions l having ports x, z for registering with transfer ports y between the working cylinders controlling the ignition. Ignition is effected in any given cylinder when its sleeve port z and the sleeve port x of the cylinder fired previously coincide with a transfer passage y. In the position shown in Fig. 2, a flame is passing from the cylinder w. Admission to the pumps is controlled by recesses q in the pistons which place ports g in communication with the pump spaces h. Admission and exhaust of the working fluid to and from the explosion cylinders is controlled by the sleeve ports k<1>, i<1> respectively. The piston sleeves for controlling the ignition are also described applied to a four cylinder engine compressing in independent crank-chambers. The charges enter the crankcasings through ports controlled by the pistons and are delivered through passages opening into the cylinders through ports uncovered by the piston sleeves. In both constructions, the power may, if preferred, be taken off one or both crank - shafts. The cylinders also may be arranged radially.

Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 28,071. Fricke, A. Dec. 13. Loose-nailing.-Nails are fed from a hopper d through a raceway g curved to form a semicircle. T h e raceway communicates with the hopper by means of a round aperture e for the nail heads and an elongated slot f for the bills. The throat block is composed of parts m, m<1> arranged on horizontal pivots n<1>, n<3> and drawn together by a spring-pressed b o l t o. Conical grooves s forming an upwardly flared throat r are made in the blocks m, m<1>. Notches q, ql in the sides of the blocks admit the nails to the throat. The nail driver is composed of a sleeve v in which a rod w slides. A flange x at the end of the sleeve supports a collar y acted upon by a hand-lever z for depressing the driver. Springs 4, 12 normally hold the lever z and the driver in raised position. The rod w is hollow at its upper end and contains a spring 3 which bears against a cross-pin 2 connected to the collar y and guided in a slot in the hollow part of the rod. When the nail-driver is depressed, the lower end of the rod w is pressed hard on the nail head and the spring 3 is compressed as the sleeve v is forced downwards. The end of the sleeve engages and presses apart the blocks m, m<1>. The nail is thus released and is driven into the work bv the rod w under the influence of the spring 3.
