Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines of the Two-cycle Type.
Inventor: SCHOLES ALFRED GEORGE
Filed: 1908-11-24
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 25,324. Scholes, A. G. Nov. 24. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-Fig. 2 shows in section one of the cylinders of a two-stroke-cycle engine using differential charging-pumps. Air is drawn into the pump A<1> through the valve m, and is compressed through the valve m<1>, partly into the scavenging-air pipe l, and also into the main airsupply passage L. The scavenging-air is admitted through a mechanically-actuated valve N when the piston uncovers the exhaust ports a', the main air supply, after being carburetted, entering through a mechanically-operated valve J and ports a after the closing of the scavenging-valve but before the closing of the exhaust ports. Any excesss pressure in the air-supply pipe L, or in a reservoir inserted in the pipe, is discharged through a relief valve which passes the surplus air through an ejector nozzle in the exhaust pipe. The cylinder is formed separately from the cooling-jacket, and is provided with lugs a<2> which receive sleeves a<3> for the formation of the inlet and exhaust passages. Figs. 2 and 4 show the relative disposition of the mixture-inlet ports a. Valves and valve-gear; reversing; starting; igniting.-The scavenging and mixture inlet valves N, J are actuated by valve-rods n<3>, j<2> respectively, which engage with cams on a shaft d mounted in a casing B' bolted to the. crank case. The ends of the valve-rods, one of which is shown at j, Fig. 2, are hinged, and mounted in an adjustable sliding plate R. The arrangement of the cams is shown in Fig. 5, P', P<2> representing the forward and reversing cams for the mixture inlet-valve J, and Q, Q<1> the cams for the scavenging-valves. The movements of the sliding plate R are controlled by a hand-lever (not shown), which carries adjusting- means for the timing-switch and also mechanism for temporarily breaking the ignition circuit while the cam-rollers take up their working positions. The breaking of the ignition circuit prevents.preignition. The central mixture inlet-valve cam P', which may be used for normal working, enables the engine to slow down, before reversing, by using reduced cylinder charges, the inlet valve being timed to open after the exhaust ports and to close before them. When using the central cam p<1> the scavenging valve-rod rollers run between the cams Q, Q<1>, Fig. 5, and thus keep their corresponding valves closed. After slowing-down, the reversal is effected by advancing the ignition. When starting, air may be stored in the air-pipe L by means of a hand-pump. Carburetting.-The air from the charging-pump may pass through a carburettor having a non-return valve in the outlet pipe to prevent damage from back-fire.

Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 6538. Tetley, H. G., and Clayton, J. March 18. Stop-motions, stop apparatus, non-automatic, reeling-machines.-In winding-machines, particularly of the kind described in Specifications 19,157/08 and 19,158/08, the winding is stopped automatically when a predetermined length of thread &c. has been wound on the reel, bobbin, &c., and provision is also made whereby the winding may be stopped at any moment by hand. The reel 1 is driven by means of a disk 2 engaging frictionally with a driving-disk 4, the axis 3 of the reel driving, by means of gearing, two gears 10, 11 having stops 12, 13, which, when they engage, stop the gearing and cause the gear 7 to ride up the gear 8 and thereby raise the disk 2 from the driving-disk 4. When the axis of the reel is raised, a tumbler lever 19 drops and supports the axis in its elevated position. This tumbler lever is pivoted to a spring-controlled bent lever 15 pivoted at 16 to the casing and carrying the gear 11 as shown. To re-start the device, the handle 23 is depressed, forcing the tumbler lever into the elevated position and allowing the reel to drop, so that the disk 2 comes in contact with the disk 4. To stop the device when required, the handle 23 is raised, thereby elevating the reel and allowing the tumbler lever to drop into supporting-position.

Abstract: 12,025. Pollen, A. H., [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen-Fabrik Ges.]. May 21. Alining matrices; moulds.-In order that the line of type may always stand in the middle of the type-bar for varying thicknesses of body, the longitudinal median lines of the mould and of the row of formative characters on the matrices are always maintained in the same plane. This is effected either by moving the cap plate and the bottom plate of the mould through equal distances, or by keeping one part of the mould stationary and moving the other part and the matrices. The bottom plate 8, Fig. 4, of the mould is provided with projections 10, which are recessed to receive springs 11 and which serve also as end liners. Studs on the cap plate 7 enter the springs 11 and serve as guides therefor. The cap plate and bottom plate are moved to equal extents in opposite directions by wedges 13, 14 interposed between the plates and fixed abutments 15, 16. The wedges are connected by a cross-piece 17, which is moved by means of a screw 18. According to the second method, the bottom plate 8, Fig. 7, of the mould is stationary, and the cap plate 7 is moved by a wedge 13, which is connected by a pivoted cross-piece 17 to a second wedge 14, which has half the obliquity of the wedge 13 and serves to adjust the matrix support. The wedges may be of equal obliquity and the arms of the cross-piece 17 of unequal length. The wedges may be replaced by equivalents such as screws or eccentrics.
