Patent GB-190707652-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Rotary Engines.
Filed: 1907-03-30
Granted: 1908-03-30
Abstract: 7652. Lake, H. H., [American CO2 Power Co.]. March 30. Revolving-cylinder type of rotary engines in which the axes of the cylinders are parallel to the axis of the shaft. Two cylinders 23, Fig. 1, supplied with motive fluid by way of a hollow shaft 15 and pipes 25, are secured to the shaft 10. At the end of each of the cylinders 23 is a working cylinder 30 containing a piston 31 which carries a roller 33. Each of the rollers 33 is pressed against oblique plates 13. The admission and exhaust of motive fluid to and from the cylinders 30 are controlled by slide valves 36, Figs. 1 and 3, actuated by levers 38 carrying rollers 42 running on cams 43 formed on the interior of the casing 26. One of the cylinders 23 carries a roller 28 running in a cam-groove 29. The cylinders and shaft are thereby caused to reciprocate. The slopes of the groove 29 and the plates 13 are such that the displacement of the pistons and cylinders are different, thereby permitting a working stroke. The hollow shaft 15 is connected to the main supply by a sliding joint. In a modification, plug cocks are used instead of slide valves and are actuated by tappets carried on the fixed casing.

Title: Process for Manufacturing Insoluble Organic Aluminium Salts.
Filed: 1907-04-13
Granted: 1908-02-20
Abstract: 8643. Chemische Werke F.Friedlaender Ges. Sept. 4, 1906, [date applied for under. Patents Act, 1901]. Acetates, formates, tartrates, and salts of other carboxylic acids. - Insoluble salts of aluminium with organic acids are produced in a manner similar to that which has been employed for producing insoluble aluminium acetate, namely, by heating aluminium oxide or hydrate with the acid or its anhydride. Several different acid radicals may be combined with the same atom of aluminium. The components are heated with exclusion of water, or they may be allowed to react at ordinary temperatures and then heated ; in the latter case the components may be mixed in the presence of water forming soluble compounds from which the water is separated, the isolated body then being converted into the insoluble form by heating in closed vessels In the examples, aluminium hydrate is mixed with formic acid and heated in a drum mill ; aluminium hydrate is heated with acetic and formic acids, or the mixture may be made in the cold or the alumina may be heated with first one acid and then the other, the result, in any case being a basic salt, Al(HCO2)(C2H3O2)OH + 2 H2O ; aluminium hydrate is treated with acetic acid and solution of tartaric acid, and the water is separated by heating, or the product, hardened by standing, may be mechanically separated from the water, the soluble compound being then rendered insoluble by heating in closed vessels; basic aluminium acetate or alumina and acetic acid are treated with tartaricacid solution, the cake of soluble salt produced being heated in closed vessels to convert it to the insoluble form ; and aluminium hydrate is heated with glacial acetic acid and powdered tartaric acid. Specifications No. 16,147, A.D. 1897, and No. 12,508, A.D. 1898, [Abridgment Class Acids, alkalies, &c.], Nos. 18,052 and 25,511, A.D. 1899, and No. 2784, A.D. 1900, are referred to.

Abstract: 25,548. Werner, H. Nov. 5. Projectiles-Relates to projectiles provided with barbed hooks or the like arranged to open out during flight, to grip the envelope of the balloon of air-ships, and thereby to detach from the projectile and to break open an igniting-receptacle, which is then retained in the opening made by the projectile in the envelope. The invention consists in the particular construction. An igniter f is attached to wires b and inserted within a recess in the base of the projectile. The outer ends of the wires are normally bent into external grooves g, and may be protected by metal tongs a' attached to a sabot or wad i. A rod d is located within a longitudinal passage through the projectile, and is attached by a thread d<1> to an eye c on the wires b. ; The parts are locked by a screw at h, which engages a head k on the rod d. This screw is removed before the projectile is placed in the gun. When the projectile leaves the gun, after discharge, the sabot i falls off, and the wires b open out until stayed by wires d<3>. On impact with a balloon, the wires bare arrested by the envelope, the thread d<1> is broken, and the igniter f is exposed to the gas and air, whereby, ignition occurs. The igniter f may be protected by a coating of wax.

Inventor: HATFIELD HENRY STAFFORD
IPC: G01R11/60
Filed: 1910-04-07
Granted: 1911-05-08
Abstract: 8450. Hatfield, H. S. April 7. Registering maxima. -The rate of movement of a mechanism averaged over a certain interval of time is measured by registering the difference between the total movement up to any instant, and the movement at that interval of time previously. In an arrangement for use as a maximumdemand indicator, a wheel 9, Fig. II, driven by a clock, carries a chain 10, Fig. I, the links of which carry sliding pins 11, which can be displaced transversely to the chain by a wheel 13, driven intermittently by connexion with an electric meter. A disk on the same spindle as the wheel 9 has teeth 12, the spaces between which are opposite to the pins; the teeth 12 prevent the wheel 13 from turning unless a pin is in position to be moved by it. The pins which have been displaced engage with two starwheels 17, 18, Fig. I, arranged so that the time taken by the chain in carrying any particular pin from the wheel 17 to the wheel 18 is the predetermined time-interval, say an hour. The star-wheels 17, 18 are connected by a differential gear 20 to a shaft which turns a non-return pointer. The pointer thus indicates the greatest increment in the meter - reading that has occurred in an hour since the pointer was set to zero. The mechanism for driving the wheel 13, in the case of a direct-current meter of the type in which the armature oscillates and the counting-train is driven by a small electro-magnet 2, consists of a toothed wheel 5 operated by the armature 7 of the electro-magnet 2, the wheel 5 having two insulating-pieces 6. An electromagnet 1 in series with the magnet 2 is normally short-circuited by two brushes 3, 4 through the wheel 5, but, when the brushes engage with the pieces 6, the magnet 1 is energized and turns a wheel 15 by means of an armature 14 and a pawl 16. The wheel 15 is geared with the wheel 13. Instead of the magnets, a mechanical con. nexion between the wheel 15 and the meter may be used. Specification 5530/02 is referred to
