Patent GB-191010946-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Turbines.
Inventor: RACLOT JULES
Filed: 1910-05-03
Granted: 1911-05-03
Abstract: 10,946. Raclot, J., and Enderlin, C. May 3, 1909, [Convention date]. Working - fluid supply. - A number of combustion chambers arranged round a turbine wheel deliver the motive fluid through suitable valves to interconnected nozzle chambers. A turbine of the circular-flow type, in which the working - fluid is repeatedly returned to the blades 17 by guide-passages 12, 8, is provided with a number of combustion chambers 20. A rotary compressor A, which may be of the type described in Specification 10,945/10, [Class 110 (ii), Rotary engines &c.], is driven by the turbine shaft 4, and supplies a compressed gas mixture through a pipe 5 to a reservoir 15 in the end-cover of the turbine. Cam - operated valves 23, Fig. 5, admit the charge from the reservoir 15 into the combustion chambers 20. The valves 23 are provided with a sleeve 24 which closes the inlet ports 26 before the piston portion reaches its seat, back-firing being thereby obviated. The exploded gases are conducted to the nozzle chambers 39 by cam- and link-operated valves 41, Fig. 6, which are partly balanced by arranging a pipe 46 to connect the chambers on either side of the valve. The nozzle chambers 39 are connected by pipes 36. A chamber 16 in the turbine end-cover 13 receives the exhaust gases. The heat of the combustion chambers may be utilized to vaporize petroleum which is led from a constant - level feed into a passage 34 cast in one piece with the combustion chamber, Fig. 7. The passage 34 is connected to the suction side of the rotary compressor. In a modification, rotary distributing - valves are substituted for the abovedescribed lift valves. An auxiliary turbine supplied from the main combustion chambers may be employed to operate the water- and lubricating-pumps and the magnetos.

Granted: 1912-09-30
Abstract: 15,204. Fernbach, A., and Strange, E. H. June 29. Fusel oils.-Higher alcohols, such as amyl alcohols, are produced by treating yeast, such as that remaining from fermentation processes, in the presence or absence of carbohydrates, with a proteolytic ferment or enzyme such as tyrothrix tenuis and a ferment such as the butylic bacillus of Fitz. Suitable substances for the provision of the carbohydrate are maize, potatoes, cassava, &c. The yeast, with or without carbohydrate, is mixed with water, the mixture is sterilized, and the ferments are added, the resulting higher alcohols being cbtained by distillation. According to the Provisional Specification other substances rich in proteids may be used in place of yeast, for example, the residue left from the extraction of vegetable oils such as linseed, cotton-seed. or rape-seed oil, &c. or nitrogenous residual matter from fermentation processes, &c. The process may also be conducted in two stages, the butylic or like bacillus being added at the end of the first fermentation.

Title: Process for Obtaining upon Paper Convenient Ornaments giving to the Material the Exact Appearance of Engraved or Carved Metals.
Inventor: MONCANY GUSTAVE
IPC: B44F9/10
Filed: 1911-11-20
Granted: 1912-10-03
Abstract: 25,927. Moncany, G. Nov. 20. Embossing.-Paper is given a surface having the appearance of engraved metal by first coating with a mixture of metallic powder and adhesive liquid, then pressing it, cold or hot, between a specially-formed die and a hardened cardboard or leather counterpart, and finally varnishing and re-embossing the surface to give it the required finish or patina. The die is a negative copy, electrolytically obtained, of a metallic plate engraved in the manner required for the finished article. From this die a counterpart is embossed in cardboard or leather, the surface of which has been hardened by a layer of liquid chatterton and sealing- wax, or black pitch, and the surface of the counterpart is again pressed after being coated with hot gutta - percha to make it flexible. Single sheets, or several sheets of paper glued or stuck together may be embossed between the die and counterpart, the metallic paste being next to the metal die and receiving its exact surface. It is next coated with collodion or other varnish that will render it more durable and give it the required patina, and is again embossed; it will then take a high polish.
Patent GB-191126113-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Feed Mechanism for Type Distributing Apparatus.
Inventor: DACHEUX RENE
IPC: B41B3/04
Filed: 1911-11-22
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 26,113. Dacheux, R. Nov. 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Distributing type; galleys and galley mechanism. - Relates to means for feeding type from a galley to distributing-apparatus such as that described in Secifications 14,723/09 and 3325/10. The type 8 is contained in an inclined galley 2, and is pressed by a spring-actuated slide 3, Fig. 3, against the end wall 5 of the galley. The first line is raised by a plate 9, which passes through an opening in the bottom of the galley, into a feed-channel formed by two bars 19, 20, Fig. 5. A spring-actuated slide 21 pushes up the line in the feed-channel until it abuts against a reciprocating feed-bar 24. A recess in the feed-bar engages the first type of the line and carries it past a spring- pressed pawl 28, which prevents its return, into the first compartment of a feed-slide 29 by which the types are successively presented to a series of selecting-devices or controllers 30. After the line in the feed-channel has been distributed. the plate 9 and the slide 21 are retracted to engage a new line. The slide 21 is connected by a cord 46 to a pulley 47 which is connected by a cord 48 to a spring drum. To prevent the removal of more than one type by the feedbar 24 owing to friction between the types, the upper types of the line are held back by a lever 52 which is pressed against them by a spring during the removal of a type and is then retracted by a cam. The pressure of the slide 21 is also suspended during the removal of a type, by ratchet mechanism connected to the pulley 47 and operated by a cam. The plate 9 and the slide 21 are retracted by cams on a shaft 32, which is driven through a one-revolution clutch from the main shaft 66. When the galley is empty, a projection 118 on the slide 3 prevents the closing of the clutch and the operation of the line-separating devices. A pin 119 on the slide 3 engages a fixed stop to prevent the slide from passing over the plate 9. The slide 3 may be employed in known manner to stop the whole of the distributing-mechanism. Specification 6617/10 is also referred to.
