Title: Automatic Regulator for Carburetting Apparatus.
Inventor: FISCHER GUSTAV
Filed: 1900-05-24
Granted: 1901-04-27
Abstract: 9610. Fischer, G., Richter, M., Mestern, H., Woda, F., and Pallester, P. May 24. Carburetting.- Means for automatically regulating the supply of hydrocarbon to the carburetter. The hydrocarbon reservoir 1 is placed higher than the carburetter 4, to which it is connected by two tubes 2, 2<1> and 3, 3<1>, the former being the supply tube, which dips below the level of the liquid in the carburetter and proceeds from the bottom of the reservoir 1, and the latter being a gas pipe which passes from the level of the liquid in the carburetter to the top of the reservoir. Interposed between the two vessels is the regulator, consisting of a casing 5, having a diaphragm 8 over the top, and three compartments A, B, C formed by two partitions 6,7. The diaphragm is connected by a weighted spindle 13 to a valve 11, while a free valve 12, also carried on the spindle, is pressed against its seat by a spring 14. In use, the process of carburetting proceeds until the lower end of the tube 3<1> is exposed. Carburetted air then passes by this tube to the top of the reservoir. The pressure of this gas raises the diaphragm 8, whereby the valve 11 is raised. Hydrocarbon now flows by the tube. 2 to the chamber C, and, passing through a strainer 16 and the valve 11, enters the chamber B, from which it flows to the carburetter. The valve is adjusted so that the level of the liquid in the carburetter is maintained constant during use.

Abstract: 806. Smith, W. L. Jan. 12. Seats and stools, chairs, tables, &c.-Relates to means for adjusting the height of music and children's stools, chairs, tables, &c. To the seat &c. A are fixed four bars a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, a<4>, sliding in suitable guides in the frame B. On a cross-shaft C bearing in the frame are two eccentric discs c<1>, c<2>. By turning the shaft the discs bear on the underside of the seat, and raise it. After the discs have raised the seat as high as possible, they bear against the slides a<3>, a<4>, and hold the seat in position. A toothed wheel on the shaft C and pawl may be used to hold the seat in an intermediate position. Cross-bars a<6>, a<8> bear on the bottom of the discs c', c<2>, and serve to prevent the seat from being disengaged from the frame. In a modified form, shown in Fig. 4, the discs c<2>, c<1> carry a shaft H, on which are other discs h<2>, which act in a similar manner to the discs c<1>, c'. The seat can thus be supported in two positions. In another modification, Fig. 6, two shafts C<1>, C<2>, geared together by spur-wheels I<1>, I<2>, may each carry two eccentric discs c<1>, c<2>, or the spur-wheels I', P at each end of the shafts C<1>, C' may engage racks formed on the four slides a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, a<4>.
