Title: Improvements in Means for Silencing the Exhaust of Internal Combustion Engines and Motors.
Inventor: HOLLAND WILLIAM HEAP
Filed: 1908-03-09
Granted: 1909-03-09
Abstract: 5243. Holland, W. H. March 9. Exhaust - silencers of the type in which the gases from each explosion are divided into portions which reach the final exit at different periods are constructed with continuous zigzag pipes each having one or more bypasses leading directly to the final or exit pipe. Figs. 1 and 2 show a silencer comprising a continuous pipe A terminating in a central exit pipe A<1>. A passage B connects eachparallel length of the pipe A directly to the pipe A<1>, thereby providing a shorter path for a portion of the gas. Fig. 6 shows a modified form in which separate parallel pipes A, connected to end casings, are substituted for the continuous pipe. The casings are provided with perforated division walls which provide a short passage to the pipe A<1> for part of the gases, but compel the remainder to pass through each pipe in turn. The different pipes A may vary in size. Several other forms of silencers are described in the Provisional Specification. In one form, in which the exhaust is directed alternately to the centre and periphery of a chamber by means of baffles, small tubes are connected to each baffleplate and terminate near the exit pipe from the chamber. As a modification, adjacent baffles may have additional perforations opposite to one another. This method of providing a more direct path for a portion of the gas by means of holes or pipes formed in, or attached to, the baffles, may be applied to other types of baffled silencers. In another form, one portion of the exhaust enters the inner end of the silencing-chamber while the remainder enters at about the middle of the chamber. In a third form, the exhaust pipe is bifurcated and the one branch is coiled or otherwise increased in length, or may lead to an expansion chamber. In a modification, the exhaust pipe may be divided into a number of branches, -all of different length, which re-unite and lead to a common exit pipe. Any of the branch pipes may be perforated, and the silencer may be packed with coke or other porous material.

Milk pails; appliances for use in milking animals. -Various forms of milk - pail attachments are described by which the pail can be supported upon the knees during milking, and to which the handle of the pail is attached. In one form, a flat plate of metal is cut twice approximately to the centre line, dividing one half into three parts, the centre one being bent up and provided with a large hole in which the handle works, the others being bent down and riveted to the pail. Instead of providing a hole for the handle, the top of the centre part may be rolled and twisted at right-angles to the lower part. In a second form, a part of the plate to be attached to the bucket is bent down, the ear being stamped from the other part and bent upward. In another form, the ear is formed at the top of the plate which is attached to the bucket, the lower part being bent up into an horizontal position. The fourth form is similar to the last described, but has the lower part of the plate pivoted on a pin, which is carried in the rolled edge of the part attached to the bucket and is fixed by compressing the roll at one point. A stop is provided on the lower part to prevent it from passing the horizontal position. The form shown in Figs. 13 and 14 is similar to the last-mentioned, the plate 6, which carries the ear 3, being bolted to the pail and provided with a slot 22, through which the head 23 of the plate 5 passes, when in one position and when one of the stops 25 is bent. The head 23 and stops 25 press downwards upon the rim of the pail so that the plate 5 cannot pass the horizontal position. When the handle is allowed to drop in the hole 11, it presses upon the head 23 and raises the plate 5. The device may be made of wire or rod of round, square, or other cross-section. A loop forms the rest for the knees, the ends being twisted together or placed parallel to form a neck, whereon the handle is pivoted and then spread horizontally and pressed flat to be attached to the pail. Instead of the loop and neck, the wire may be bent as shown in Fig. 19, the flattened ends 17 being attached to the pail, the parts 18 forming the knee-rest and the centre part 21 forming the spindle whereon the handle 9 is pivoted.
