Patent GB-191018595-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Steam Valves.
Inventor: MEYER ALBERTUS
Filed: 1910-08-06
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 18,595. Meyer, A. Aug. 6. Rotary disk valves.-A rotary disk valve c, having triangular ports adapted to register with corresponding ports in the seat c, is provided with a supplementary balancing-valve h adapted to allow a small quantity of steam to pass from the inlet to the outlet before the main valve is opened. The valve h is keyed to a spindle upon which the main valve c revolves loosely. To operate the main valve, the supplmentary valve h is first rotated to uncover ports g formed in two of the solid sectors of the main valve. A small quantity of steam thus passes through the valve and into recesses f formed in the face of the valve. Further rotation of the spindle brings the valve h into contact with a stop i secured to the main valve, which then commences to rotate until arrested by the engagement of the stop i with a pin j on the casing. A stop i<1> and pin j' limit the motion of the valve when closing. Recesses similar to f may be formed in the valve seat.

Title: Stock Feed for the Spindles of Turret Lathes and the like.
IPC: B23B3/16
Filed: 1910-09-08
Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 20,973. Loewe & Co., L., Munthe, C., and Millington, D. Sept. 8. Turning.-The feed-tube 2 of a spindle barfeed is reciprocated by a nut 8. During the retraction of the tube, the nut is rotated by gearing 6, 4, 5, 7 and a friction clutch 10 from the spindle. The wheels 4, 5 are journaled in a sleeve loose on the spindle, and locked against rotation by a toggle-actuated wedge 19, which is withdrawn to terminate the movement by contact of a flange 17 with a dog 12. Forward motion of the tube is effected by tightening a band brake 15 and locking the nut. The flange 17 again terminates the movement by releasing a friction clutch 14. The wedge 19 is restored to position by a pin 18 carried by the chuckoperating mechanism.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Combing Machines.
IPC: D01G19/10
Filed: 1910-10-10
Granted: 1911-10-10
Abstract: 23,458. Schubert & Salzer Maschinenfabrik Akt.-Ges. Oct. 19, 1909, [Convention date]. [Addition to 21,501/09.] No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Combing-machines.-In a modification of the combing-machine described in the parent Specification, the top comb is operated independently, and only the nippers and the feed-device are attached to levers, which are in their turn connected to a common member enabling them to be adjusted simultaneously. The upper nipper 8 is carried by a lever 17 secured to the shaft 19, and is moved as required by a cam 22, which operates an arm 18 on the shaft 19. The lower nipper 9 is carried by a bellcrank lever 24 fulcrumed on the shaft 19, and is pressed against the upper nipper by a spring 25, thus sharing its upward movement until a projection on the lever 24 engages a fixed stop and the jaws are opened. The two parts 7, 33 of the feed-device are arranged on a shaft 34, and are moved to and from the nipper jaws by mounting the shaft 34 in arms 35, which rock with a shaft 36 upon which they are secured. The shaft 36 is rocked by a cam on the shaft 23. The part 33 is rotatable about the shaft 36 to open and close the feed-device, another cam on the shaft 23 being arranged to rock an arm attached to the part 33 to effect this movement. The top comb 14 is carried by an arm 43 mounted on a shaft 44, which is mounted in arms 45 secured to a rock - shaft 46. The up-and-down movements of the comb are obtained by supporting the arm 43 upon a bowl 50 running upon a fixed cam-surface 51. The wiper 15 is moved up sufficiently to support the tuft 3 at the moment that the top comb 14 moves down to penetrate the tuft. The shafts 19, 36 are mounted in a piece 28, which is adjusted about a shaft 29 by an arm 30 engaged by screws 31, 32.

Title: Improvements in Fuel Injecting Means for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: HARVENG JULES D
IPC: F02M69/00
Filed: 1911-03-15
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 6533. Harveng, J. d'. March 15. Two-stroke-cycle engines. -Fuel is injected into the cylinder from one or more nozzles 18 through piston-controlled ports by one or more diaphragm pumps, the pressure on the dry side of which is approximately constant and at least equal to the pressure in the reservoir 12 at the commencement of the admission of the air for the mixture. The volume of fuel displaced is proportional to the net pressure on the diaphragm, that 'is, to the fall in pressure in the reservoir 12 from the time the fuel first issues, and consequently to the amount of air discharged into the cylinder from that time. In the two - stroke - cycle engine shown, the mixture-air and scavenging-air reservoirs 12, 13 are charged by the pump 15 and, while fully charged, the reservoir 13 is momentarily connected with the dry face of the diaphragm pump by a rotary valve 26. There may be only one reservoir for the mixture-air and scavenging-air, and in a twocylinder engine, the valve 26 may be dispensed with, and the dry face of the diaphragm pump for one cylinder connected permanently with the air-reservoir for the other cylinder. The delivery valve of the diaphragm pump may be replaced by a valve in the nozzle.

Abstract: 12,693. Kahrs, C. H. May 29. Nets.-A trawl net, chiefly intended for use near the surface, is constructed in an irregular conical form with its upper edge a horizontal and its lower edge b sloping downwards from back to front so that it is pressed down as the net is drawn forwards. To increase the downward pressure, the mesh of the part b is made finer than that of the part a, the mesh of the part b is very long and narrow, the proportion of length to width being approximately four to one, so that the resistance to forward motion is not seriously increased. The net is connected to the boards e by ropes d and by two strips of net l to distribute the pull evenly over the month of the net. A pole g with a heavy lower end depends from the lower part of the net and is connected by a rope h, of length equal to the diameter of the net-mouth, to a float i which approximately equalizes the weight of the pole so that, when the pole drags on the bottom, the float lifts the net. The boards c are made of rigid material such as wood covered with thin iron plate or the like which is supported by means of a net of strings, wire, or the like.
