Abstract: 17,379. Sears, J. E. Jan. 21, 1911. Plug cocks. - In an internal - combustion engine having rotary distributing - valves, in order to prevent leakage, a split cylinder a is arranged between the valve b, Fig. 3 or 9, and its casing c, and the split cylinder a is mounted in a recess in the casing so as to make butt joints at the ends with a flange f, Fig. 3, of the casing and with a nut g. The valve has its bearings in the casing c beyond the ends of the split cylinder. End pressure may be taken up by annular surfaces k, l. Packing pieces h are employed in the split e of the cylinder a to prevent endway leakage. There is a space between the cylinder a and the outer casing c to allow for expansion, and the inner wall of the cylinder a may be recessed as shown in Fig. 9. Serrated packing pieces i are used between the split cylinder and outer casing, and when the valve is arranged transversely to a pair of cylinders x, x, as shown in Fig. 9, one of the pieces i forms a seal between the two combustion chambers.

Title: Improvements in Pumps for use with Wind Mills and other Variable Power Motors.
Inventor: SNEE WILLIAM
IPC: F04B53/12
Filed: 1910-11-09
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 26,116. Snee, W. Nov. 9. Single - acting bucket pumps; regulating delivery by by-passes.-Pumps are arranged to be effectively driven by wind-mills and like variable-power motors by the aid of a normallyopen by-pass valve which stops the pumping action until the pump piston attains a certain velocity, whereupon the pump commences to act owing to the valve being closed by inertia effects and the current of fluid passing through it. The piston 3, Figs. 1 and 3, has a passage 6 through it which may be closed by a valve 8 normally raised off its seat by a spring 9. The piston thus makes idle strokes until it attains sufficient velocity to close the valve 8. Airchambers 13, 15 may be used to prevent shock. The lift of the valve 8 may be varied by a screwed stud or by a rod 19, Fig. 3, passing through a hollow piston-rod. A float valve may be substituted for the spring-controlled valve shown. In a modification shown in Fig. 5, a solid piston 23 is used and a by-pass valve 25 is arranged in a separate passage 24 connecting the two ends of the pump cylinder.

Alined deep and shallow grooves are in the head 13; the former having shoulders at their inner ends, serve for inserting splints and the latter, which are equal in length to the splints, for arranging at the bottom of the hopper those next to be inserted. Splints too short to he inserted are ejected from the deep grooves during retraction by a comb-plate 28, which slides on the front of the hopper and is lowered by an arm 35 on a cam-operated rocking shaft. In a modification the shorter imperfect splints are removed separately by employing a head divided across the shallow grooves, which are made short; the rear portion of this head is pressed by springs against the front portion, but is arrested by a stop during the forward stroke, short pieces falling through the gap. Perforated carrier-plates 48, Fig. 7, are detachably secured, by rivets 54 passing through thickened upturned edges, to rack links 51 at each side having tongue-and-socket ends for pivotal connexion. A broken plate can be removed without disconnecting the whole conveyer.
