Title: Improvements in or relating to Leaf Turners.
Inventor: HALES HERBERT NOEL
IPC: B42D9/06
Filed: 1912-12-24
Granted: 1913-11-06
Abstract: 29,630. Hales, H. N. Dec. 24. Leaf-turners.-A leafturner comprises a bookrest a and a secondary support b, b<1>, made in two halves hinged at c, springs d and c being provided as shown in Fig. 2. The leaves to be turned are fed in between the convolutions of the Archimedean screw-like vane h, while those not to be turned are placed between the support b, b<1> and the projections f, g. The spring-pressed slide i is operated by a pedal or the like, and carries a spring-supported rack i<1> gearing with the spiral h, and another rack i<2> which gears with the wheel n on the spindle of the leaf-turning arm p. When the slide is moved, the spiral vane receives a complete revolution, thus setting free a leaf, which is turned over by the arm p and retained by the spring-actuated catch t. To facilitate this turning, the arm p receives an oscillation of about 135 degrees in the plane of the book, and also a half rotation on its own axis p<1>, this latter motion being imparted by the action of a cam on the arm p. The leaves are fed into the spiral vane by pressing in and turning the hand-operated spindle w, whereby the spiral is rotated in a backward direction through the wheels z, l, and m.

Title: Process of Obtaining Nitrogen Simultaneously with Oxides of Nitrogen.
IPC: C01B21/26
Filed: 1913-02-12
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 3662. Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning. Feb. 19, 1912, [Convention date]. Nitrogen.-Nitrogen and nitrogen oxides are alone produced by the combustion of ammonia in air in the presence of contact agents by employing such an amount of ammonia that there is no excess of oxygen in the reacting mixture, while the oxygen is present in a quantity just sufficient for the production of higher or lower oxides. The nitrogen oxides may be condensed with the water present forming nitric acid, or, by suitable adjustment, sodium nitrite may be obtained by treating the gases with caustic soda lye. The process may be arranged so that nitric oxide is the only oxide produced from which the water present may be separated by cooling, and air is afterwards admitted to oxidize the nitric oxide, the resulting oxides being separated from the nitrogen in the further cooling and absorbing apparatus. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a process in which the water is condensed from the gases, the oxidation of the lower oxides being prevented by rapid cooling in narrow tubes. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Steering; planes, arrangement of.-An aeroplane is provided with four tail fins or planes arranged as shown in Fig. 6 and having warpable or hinged rear parts which are controlled by hand or foot levers. The hand-wheel 1 is secured to a telescopic pillar 3 having a spring 4 inserted between the parts 2, 3 in order to prevent injury to the airman by his being thrown against the wheel. The pillar 3 is rotatable in a bearing 33 and is connected by a universal joint 6 to a shaft 7 carrying the pulley 8 around which the warping-cords for the main planes are wound. A gear-wheel 26 secured to a sleeve 27 surrounding the shaft 7, meshes with sectors 24, 25 secured to transverse shafts 22, 23 carrying pedals. The sleeve 27 is connected by a universal joint 28 to a pinion 29 loosely mounted on the steering-column 3 and meshing with a pair of pinions 30, only one of which is shown. The pinions 29 are secured to pulleys 31, around which are passed cords 32, 32<a>, 35, 35<a> leading to the tail planes. Each cord is bifurcated, and the ends are connected as shown in Fig. 3 to tillers secured to the fins 36, 37, 38, 39. In operation, axial rotation of the steering-pillar warps either the right or left hand main plane through the pulley 8 ; raising or lowering the steering-pillar moves all the tail vanes towards the left or right of the machine ; a forward movement of the pedal on the shaft 23 moves all the vanes upward?, and a similar movement of the pedal on the shaft 22 moves all the vanes down wards, causing the aeroplane to descend.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Methods of Making Parti-coloured Screens.
Inventor: BRASSEUR CHARLES LOUIS ADRIEN
IPC: G03C7/10
Filed: 1913-12-11
Granted: 1915-02-04
Abstract: 28,631. Brasseur, C. L. A. Dec. 11. Colour photography, screens for.-A method for making multicolour screens consists in forming composite or multicolour threads, bunching them together with cementing-material into a fibrous block, and cutting the block transversely to the threads to form a screen sheet which is thinned down as required. The coloured threads may be natural filaments or spun threads and can be grouped in sets of three different colours by winding them together; or the threads may be obtained by slicing superposed coloured sheets such as a, b, c, Fig. 2. The cementing-material employed should be of such a nature that it can be caused by heat and pressure to fill up the spaces between the threads completely; otherwise these spaces would have to be filled subsequently by dyed cementing-material. To make screens for moving-picture films, a series of sectional blocks may be shaped and united into a circular block, Fig. 5, and continuous film sections cut circumferentially. Alternatively, the composite thread may be wound into an annulus, Fig. 6, and a series of these compressed to form a block, Fig. 7, which will he thinner at the periphery than at the centre A continuous film is then sliced spirally.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Rotary Internal Combustion Engines, Pumps or the like.
Inventor: HOROVITZ GEORG

Granted: 1914-07-02
Abstract: 28,750. Horovitz, G. Dec. 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Movable-abutment type; working-fluid supply. -A rotary internal-combustion engine, applicable to pumps &c., comprises an annular working chamber within which pistons rotate fast or slow alternately, according to whether they are acting as pistons or abutments. The casing also rotates so that one suction port, one exhaust port, and one ignition plug suffice for four pistons. Concentric shafts 5, 14, 15 carry a casing 6, and piston disks 12, 13, respectively, each of the piston disks being provided with two pistons. A gear-wheel 18 is mounted upon the shaft 5, two gear-wheels 19, 20 are mounted upon the shaft 14, and two gear-wheels 23, 24 upon the shaft 15. The gear - wheels engage respectively pinions 17, 21, 22, 25, 26. The pinion 17 is secured to a countershaft 16. The pinions 21, 22, 25, 26 are mounted upon a sleeve 27, which is movable axially on, but rotates with the countershaft 16. These pinions are provided with pins 36, 37, 38, 39 which engage with grooves 28, 30, 32, 34 in the sleeve 27. The grooves, as shown in Fig. 13, are partly helical and partly axial, and are so positioned that the pinions are alternately coupled in pairs to the countershaft while the other pair reciprocates the sleeve 27. Each pin is pressed outwards by a spring 40, Fig. 13, and at the point where the helical portion of the groove joins the axial portion a recess 41 is made, so that the pin is positively prevented from accidentally reversing its direction of travel. The effect of this is to cause each pair of pistons in the working chamber to overtake alternately the other pair. The casing 1 is provided with an inlet port 8, supplied from an inlet 45 through the hollow shaft 5, an exhaust port, and an ignition plug 10. The rotation of the casing is effected through the gearing 17, 18. The magneto 44 is driven off the countershaft 16 through spur gearing 42, 43. Power is taken off the countershaft 16. Large engines can be built with more than two pairs of pistons.
