Abstract: 24,306. Klatte, R. O. Nov. 9. Pressure-regulating valves; sajety-valves.-In the discharge pipe o, Fig. 3, of a gas-compressor is fitted a valve, which, when a predetermined pressure is exceeded, opens a passage back to the suction pipe i, and simultaneously operates an electric resistance, or a throttle or stop device, for reducing the motive power. The lift valve p, shown in Fig. 3, is arranged to operate, through an arm x, rocking shaft u, &c., the switch lever of an adjustable resistance, for controlling the electric motor. The valve is either loaded by an adjustably-weighted lever w, Fig. 3, or is directly loaded by an interchangeable weight v<1>, Fig. 6, the cover then having an annular oil chamber u<5> to prevent escape of gas. Lubricant is conveyed to the bearings of the valve-rod p<1> and of the rocking shaft u by an axial channel with lateral branches. For high pressures, the shaft u preferably has conical journals ground into bearings which are recessed to form annular lubricating- reservoirs.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Chain Links and the like Rods.
Inventor: CARTER ROBERT ALEXANDER
Filed: 1905-02-01
Granted: 1905-04-06
Abstract: 2028. Carter, R. A. Feb. 1. Making chains.-In a link-making machine, the scarfed end of a rod is pushed through the guide-slot 7 in a slide 1, behind the spring-pressed fingers 23, and up to the V-grooved stop 12, and a blank a is severed therefrom by the fixed and movable scarfing-blades 18,17 when the slide is advanced by the cam 3. The blade 17 is adjusted by means of a screw 19. The slide 14 is then lowered by the cam 25 to bring the blank between the formers 8, 9 and the rolls 10, 11, the stop 12 being rotated on its pivot 15, by a cam 16 which engages its tail end, so as to clear the blank. The connecting-rod 32 is loosely connected with a slide 31, to which is loosely connected a spring-pressed plate 35. The links 47, 48 carrying the rolls 10, 11 are linked to the plate 35, and, as the slide 31 and plate 35 advance, the rolls 10, 11 bend the ends of the blank round the formers and a hook 49 pivoted to the rod 32 drops over the blank. Meanwhile another blank is being sheared off the bar. On the return of the slide 31, the plate 35 lags behind, the blank is gripped between the hook 49 and a part of the slide 31, and wings 53, 54, pivoted to the slide 31 and connected by links 57, 58 to the main frame, complete the bending, the next blank being lowered into the bending plane meanwhile. The formers 8, 9 and the hook 49 and co-acting abutment may be shaped to preserve or impart to the links some particular section.

Title: Improvements in Gauges for Screws.
Inventor: TAYLOR WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-04-01
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 6900. Taylor, W. April 1. Gauges for screw-threads. Solid or hollow screws which will pass the usual gauge consisting of a standard thread of the opposite form and long enough to give the requisite test for pitch are afterwards examined by separate templet plain or threaded gauges for full diameter, core diameter, and also for form of thread and pitch and diameter at the mid-point of the thread slope taken together. Hollow screws are first passed over the standard thread C, Fig. 1, of length equal to the full diameter, to secure interchangeability, but if thus " accepted" may subsequently be rejected if they pass the internal gauge D, slightly greater than the core diameter, the gauge F, Fig. 2, exceeding the full diameter and only bearing at its crests in the roots of the hollow thread, or the gauge E, which bears only at the mid-point of the slope or effective diameter and is itself slightly in excess. For testing solid screws, similar hollow screw gauges may be employed, but as these cannot be conveniently examined for wear, the three-point gauge shown in Fig. 3 is preferable, the points b being adjustable and a small separate rod c co-operating with a flattened portion of the gauge face to test the full diameter and the effective diameter. If the latter is correct, the rod will not pass. For solid screws, a plate may also be used with maximum and minimum circular apertures for the full diameter, and two projecting teeth displaced according to the pitch for examining the core diameter.

A cam 13 reciprocates the plate 11, carrying the cutter 10, in the presser to sever the wire and to flatten a portion of each clip as shown in Fig. 7. A fixed semicircular cam at the end of the mandrel continually forces the coils towards the free end of the mandrel.

Abstract: 3916. Duryea, O. C., and White, M. C. Feb. 16. Gas or explosive-vapourengines, carburetting and lubricating in. A fuel tank 5 for oil, alcohol, and the like, a lubricant receptacle 6, and a carburettor 9 form one piece of apparatus and are supported by an annular bolt 7 and ring 8 ; the lubricant is drawn into the cylinder through the carburettor. The tank 5 contains baffles 26 to prevent movement of the fuel therein. The fluids pass out of the carburettor through the passage 10 around the bolt 7. The lubricant drops through a glass tube 25 to the pipe 13. The bolt 7 is situated above the centre of gravity of the apparatus, which is particularly applicable to the direct-acting engines of percussive rock drills, but may be used on motor-car and other engines. The reservoirs and the carburettor may be independent of one another and pivotally mounted so as to preserve their level no matter. what is the inclination of the engine.

Abstract: 9605. Marks, E. C. R., [Oliphant, W.]. April 24. Carburetting.-A carburettor suitable for engines or for lighting consists of a spiral-shaped trough containing the liquid, the inlets for air and liquid being situated in the outer convolution of the spiral, while the outlet for carburetted air is at the centre. Fig. 1 is a cross-section showing the air, inlet C, fuel tank J, and outlet D, the last surmounted by a cap G. Plates N, Fig. 3, are arranged across the course of the spiral, causing the air to pass through the liquid. Vanes 0 are also pivoted so as to be rotated by the air current to aid in the vaporization. The fuel tank has a hand-operated needle valve Q, and a closing-valve K, which drops down when the tank is lifted off. The pierced tube P is to prevent agitation of the carburettor from disturbing the level below the inlet.

Title: Improvements in Space Telegraphy.
Inventor: STONE JOHN STONE
Filed: 1906-04-26
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 9781. Stone, J. S. June 20, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Telegraphs.-Energy is supplied to the elevated transmitting-conductor in systems of space telegraphy from two or more sonorous or persistentlyoscillating circuits, preferably identical in character. The circuits convey energy to the antenna through transformers, the secondary coils of which are coupled in parallel, and have relatively small mutual inductance with the primary coils. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement in which an alternating- current generator A supplies energy through the transformer M' to three sonorous circuits, each including a condenser C, the primary winding of a transformer M, and an inductance coil L. The spark-gap S is common to all three circuits, and is shunted by a condenser of large capacity. The, secondary windings of the transformers are connected in parallel, and supply energy to the antenna V. The elevated - conductor system is timed to the frequency of the persistent oscillations in the sonorous circuits. The coils L may be dispensed with if the magnetic leakage in the transformers is sufficient to give loose coupling between the sonorous and aerial circuits. Specifications Nos. 27,272 and 27,295, A.D. 1902, and Nos. 25,637 and 25,644, A.D. 1904, are referred to.
