Granted: 1902-09-04
Abstract: 17,825. Draper, B., and Carter, C. W. Sept. 6. Annular-chamber type.-A rotary engine applicable for use as a pump is shown in Fig. 1. The piston drum 5 has a piston 5<a> bolted to it, and has lateral spring-pressed packing-rings 60, 61 enclosing a wedge-shaped ring 62. A grooved flywheel 8 acts as a cam, and by means of connecting-links 35 actuates the rod 30 of the vertically-sliding abutment 40, Fig. 4, fitted with spring-pressed packing- strips 54. The abutment has two guide-rods 42 joined by a cross-bar 43 normally pressed downwards by a spring 46 to secure a good contact with the drum. An eccentric 15 on the shaft actuates a cut-off slide valve 14, Fig. 2, which works behind an adjustable reversing-valve 13, connected by ports 11 to the working chamber and exhaust. The abutment 40, Fig. 10, is made in two overlapping parts 47, loosely connected to the buttended rod 30, and the left-hand part 47 is raised first to avoid friction. The abutment may be made in three sections or otherwise modified. The piston is formed of two similar T-shaped parts 70, 71, Fig. 17, pressed apart by a spring 74 and secured to the drum by end-pieces, or the two parts of the piston may overlap with inclined contacting ends. The engine may be compounded.

Inventor: EILERTSEN LUCIEN
Filed: 1903-02-25
Granted: 1903-12-31
Abstract: 4440. Eilertsen, L. Feb. 25. Teeth, artificial.-To prevent change of colour in the plastic substances used in the manufacture of denture apparatus, insoluble and vitriflable colours or enamels are used, and antiseptics such as salol, iodoform, and the like, together with perfumes, are added to the plastic paste. In order to prevent the colour from changing due to an alteration in one or more of the component materials, such as the alteration of the guncotton in celluloid, the celluloid is covered with a substance such as india-rubber, gutta-percha, gelatine, caseine, &c., less likely to change. A solution of the rubber in a mixture of its solvents and of the solvents of celluloid, is used for connecting the rubber to the celluloid, the rubber being afterwards vulcanized cold in a solution of carbon bisulphide and sulphur chloride containing antiseptics and perfumes. Gelatine may also be applied to the surface of the celluloid, and treated with alcohol and the vapours of formic aldehyde or formol, or hardened in any other manner.
