Title: Magneto-electric Ignition Device for Multiple Cylinder Explosion Engines
Inventor: RILLING ALBERT
Filed: 1907-05-15
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 11,402. Rilling, A. May 15. Gas and like engines, igniting in. In the magneto - electric ignition in multiple - cylinder engines, a number of notched disks 3 corresponding with the number of cylinders are mounted on the shaft so that ignition for each cylinder takes place at the same position of the armature. Alongside these disks is another series of annular notched disks 6 freely rotating on the armature shaft at a speed such that the cut-away part of one of each pair of disks 3, 6 coincides in each rotation, preferably at the point at which the current is highest in the armature. The apparatus shown is that for a four-cylinder engine, and consists of four disks 3 mounted on the armature shaft and four loose disks 6 driven from the armature shaft by means of spur-wheels 10 at a speed one-quarter that of the shaft 1. These disks have notches 12 arranged at right angles. When the notches in two adjacent disks are together, the roller I on the two-armed lever 13 is drawn into the notch. The lever is connected by silver-steel wires 15 to the corresponding disk 14, which rotates on an insulated shaft 16. These disks 14 are connected by tabular shafts 21 to disks 20 which are connected to levers 23 by silver-steel wires 22. The levers 23 engage with the plugs 19, which are drawn away by springs from the fixed contacts 39. In order that the time of sparking may be regulated in all cylinders simultaneously, the shaft 1 is driven from the timing-shaft of the engine through slotted disks 26, 33, the slots in which are arranged at an angle to one another. The disks are connected by means of a coupling 28, the position of which may be altered by the sliding sleeve 29 and a rod 30 attached at one end to the sleeve and at the other to the coupling-piece.

Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 13,378. Stange, A. June 10. Toy guns for shooting peas &c. are provided with an automatic loading-mechanism. The peas are placed in a magazine b, and fall one at a time into a short tube c and on to a piston d. This is connected to a spring-controlled rod e, which is drawn back by a partial turn of a crank m, so that the pea falls into the barrel, out of which it is prevented from falling by a spring tappet-piece g. A pivoted bar o engages a notch e' in the rod e and prevents it from springing forward again. As the rod e is drawn back, a slide f which it carries closes the end of the magazine b. To discharge the cannon, the crank m is given another partial turn to disengage the bar o, when springs i impel the rod e forwards. As it commences to move, the tappet-piece g is pushed aside by the slide f. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specification No. 5202, A.D. 1901.]

Title: Improvements relating to the Cutting or Milling and Grinding of Dental Drills.
Inventor: RAUHE CARL
Filed: 1907-07-09
Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 15,745. Rauhe, C. July 9. Milling; chucks; dividing-apparatus.-The teeth of dental drills may be formed by a milling cutter ruuning, as is usual, longitudinally of the drill and then sharpened in exactly the same relative positions by providing the drill shank with a surface before milling ; or the teeth of the drills may always be sharpened in the same position relative to the grinding-disk, which is directed transversely or obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the drill, by providing the shank, before the drill is initially ground, with a surface which has the same relation to the teeth in all drills. The chuck h, Fig. 3, for holding the drills, may be made to fit the shanks of the drills and is provided with a screw f, and, when the teeth are being formed, the required partial rotation of the chuck is given by means of a toothed disk z, Fig. 1, on the same axis as the chuck, actuated by a pawl k in the usual manner. The disk is provided with a series of recesses v, into which drops a pin s, arranged on a spring g, when the partial rotation has been given. As the disk is further rotated the pin recoils in consequence of its rounded end and the obliquity of the recess. The spring g is pivoted so that drills may be formed or ground with different numbers of teeth by using the different series of recesses v.

Abstract: 22,975. Penny, F., and Hince, T. A. Oct. 18. Bottles, washing. - Relates to the bottle-washing machine described in Specification No. 7554, A.D. 1907, and consists principally in mounting the bottle - holders upon arms radiating from a rotary hub provided with ports for the periodic supply of steam and water to the spigots. The trains of gear-wheels for rotating the bottle - holders are set in motion by a central common gearwheel. Between the arms are racks for holding the dirty bottles. The bottle-holders, Fig. 1, each consist of abase e carrying three spring arms c connected at their upper ends by an elastic ring b. The spigot comprises two concentric tubes g, u, Fig. 5, having suitable orifices for the escape of jets of steam and water respectively and communicating with channels in one of a series of arms radiating from a hub 10, one arm only being shown in Fig. 22. The hub is rotarily mounted on a fixed cylinder 11 provided with steam and water chambers 12, 13 communicating with the channels in the arms through ports 18, 19 and apertures in the hub. A certain proportion of the peripheries of each chamber is solid, and in the case of the steam chamber, this blind portion 24 is longer than the corresponding portion of the water chamber in order that water may enter the bottles before the steam. The chamber 12 is supplied with steam by the pipe 26 and drained by the pipe 28, and water is supplied to the chamber 13 through the pipe 27. The gear-wheels x secured to the bottleholders mesh in series, and those nearest to the hub are engaged by a large spur-wheel y carried by a spindle 2 rotated by bevel-gearing from the main shaft 4. The hub is rotated by bevel-wheels 31, 32 from the shaft 4 through a clutch 33 operated by the attendant. Dirty bottles are carried by racks spanning the spaces between the arms, and are supplied by one operator while the other inserts and removes the bottles into and from the holders on each arm as it comes into position opposite the blind portions of the chambers 12,13.

Abstract: 9889. Kienast, A. May 6, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Elastic-fluid turbines.-In a turbine, the driving is effected solely by the compression shock of the driving-medium in the running-wheel cells, the customary curving of the blades being omitted. The driving-medium from a chamber L passes through pressure-converting nozzles A to the first wheel E without impact. The compression shock occurring in the cells N causes rotation of the wheel in the direction of the arrow. The fluid is forwarded by pressure-converting nozzles S to the next ring of running cells D, and so on. The running cells may be arranged on a single drum, and the stationary converting - nozzles S may be dispensed with. The running cells may be parallel-sided or convergent, instead of divergent as shown.
