Patent GB-191220983-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Starting and Reversing Mechanism for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: GOLBY FREDERICK WILLIAM
IPC: F01L13/00
Filed: 1912-09-14
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 20,983. Golby, F. W., [representative of Haug, J.]. Sept. 14. Starting; reversing.-The fuel and compressedair starting-valves are worked by cams 12, 16 on a cam shaft 4. The valve-rods 10, 14 of the fuel and starting valves respectively are connected by links 21 to an eccentric 22 on a controlling-shaft 23 so that either valve may be put into action or both may be out of action together, as shown in Fig. 7. A valve 36 worked by an eccentric 26 on the shaft 23, closes the compressed-air passage when the starting valve is out of action and a tappet 29 worked by the same eccentric holds the suction valve 30 of the fuel-pump open when the fuelvalve is out of action. The cam shaft 4 is adjustable axially for reversing, and a slotted locking plate 38, worked by an eccentric 37 on the controlling-shaft 23, co-operates with collars on the cam shaft 4, to prevent the latter shaft from being moved axially except when both starting and fuel valves are out of action. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 6461/10 and 28,922/12.

Title: Improvements in Driving and Reversing and Reducing Gear, particularly as Applied to Engines Driving a Screw Propeller.
Inventor: SAVORY GERALD
Filed: 1912-10-19
Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 23,934. Savory, G. Oct. 19. Driving-arrangements for screw propellers.- In arrangements whereby the thrust of the propeller maintains the clutch of a driving- gear in engagement, means are provided for modifying, under running, the amount of such thrust transmitted to the clutch. The propeller shaft b, Fig. 1, drives the gear shaft a through two gear-wheels c, d, which are free to slide thereon. The thrust block h communicates the propeller thrust to a lever j which through the link k transmits it to the lever l and so through a thrust block g to the shaft a. The thrust on the shaft a can be altered by shifting the link k into other holes m. The driving- gear is of the kind described in Specification 21,750/05. In a modification, the levers connecting the shafts are outside the gear-case and at the side adjacent to the power plant. The reduction gear may, if desired, be chain driven.

Title: Improvements in the Process of Welding Rails or the like.
IPC: B23K23/00
Filed: 1913-11-04
Granted: 1914-07-09
Abstract: 25,179. Goldschmidt Akt.-Ges., T. Dec. 19, 1912, [Convention date]. Welding; thermo-aluminic processes. - Rails or other constructional parts are welded together in situ by first enlarging the gap between their ends by forcing the ends apart in a longitudinal direction so as to produce an elastic compression in the parts corresponding to an amount which they would have contracted after welding due to upsetting and shrinkage, and then inserting a piece of metal between the ends prior to welding. The enlarging of the gap may be produced by inserting a wedge between the rail webs, and adjusting its position to the desired enlaugement. The ends of the rails, after insertion of the wedge, may be treated to render them exactly parallel and metallically bright. The piece of metal is placed between the heads and the wedge is withdrawn, and the welding may be performed by the thermoaluminic process, the webs and feet being fused together and the heads united by the piece inserted therebetween.

Abstract: 8772. Novick, A. April 7. Sheet-forwarders. - In machines for cutting blanks from continuously moving webs, as in envelope machines, the speed of the severed blanks in the direction of movement of the web is gradually decreased, and simultaneously the blanks are gradually rotated in the plane of their advance, so as to be fed continuously to mechanism for folding, stacking, or printing them. The web 63 is fed continuously by rollers 26, and the blanks are shaped and severed by cutting-rollers 28, 30. Segmental rollers 32, 34 feed the severed blanks 65 to feeding-segments on conical rollers 40, which rotate them in the plane of their advance until they are gripped by segmental rollers 36, 38, which feed them to folding, stacking, or printing devices. The rollers 32, 34 release the blanks as soon as the conical rollers 40 seize them, and, in turn, the rollers 40 release them as soon as the rollers 36, 38 grip them.
