Title: Improved Bricklaying Machine.
Inventor: SCHINDLER MAX GEORG
IPC: E04G21/22
Filed: 1909-12-24
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 30,191. Schindler, M. G., and Schindler, L. P. Feb. 9, [Convention date]. Bracklaying -machines. -Comprises an intermittentlyrotating cylinder by which the bricks are successively gripped, coated d with mortar, and laid, and which also lays the mortar r beds, the frame carrying the cylinder being mounted on a truck so as to move thereon as each brick is laid. Fig. 1 shows a plan, and Fig. 4 an end elevation, of the machine. The truck is mounted on rails 3 ; and fixed to it is a side frame 1 carrying tracks for a trolly 5 in which the laying - cylinder 4 is mounted. The trolly is provided with a rack 16 gearing with a wheel 15 which can be driven by a shaft 13 through a clutch 17 to advance the trolly. The cylinder is rotated by a chain 8 and gearing 11, 13 when the clutch is moved to the left. Mortar is fed by gravity from an overhead vessel through a flexible pipe 41 to a vessel 37 on the trolly 5, and is fed at intervals on to the periphery of the ; cylinder 4. A portion is scraped up by a scraper 34, Fig. 5, and falls inside the cylinder through a flap 22 operated by a guide groove 23 ; a supply for the bed joints is thus maintained in the cylinder. The action is as follows :-The clutch 17 being moved to the right by a cam 19, the trolly 5 is moved along one brick space, the cylinder being stationary in its frame and with an orifice 32 in its lowest position. This motion causes the chain 27 to rotate a wheel 26 on the distributor cylinder 25, and mortar is forced by vanes 31 through the orifice 32 on to the bed-joint. The clutch is then reversed by the cam 19, the trolly 5 stops, and the cylinder 4 is rotated. A brick is laid by hand or otherwise on a flat 20 on the cylinder, and is temporarily held by a spring plate 21 ; mortar still on the periphery is forced by the scraper 34 against the brick 45, the scraper is pushed aside by a projection 36, and the brick is carried round to the bottom where it is released by tappets. Springs 33 then press the brick down, and fresh mortar is at this moment supplied from the vessel 37 in a manner similar to that from the orifice 32. The trolly may be stopped at definite points by means of projections on a bar rocked or otherwise moved automatically into and out of the path of the trolly wheels.

Title: Improved Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: TUCKFIELD CHARLES
IPC: F02B75/02
Filed: 1910-01-05
Granted: 1911-01-05
Abstract: 263. Tuckfield, C., and Garland, W. G. de F. Jan. 5. [Cognate Application, 4255/10.] Two-stroke-cycle engines; four - stroke - cycle engines. - In engines which compress their working charges in one cylinder and expand below atmospheric pressure in two cylinders simultaneously, the reduction in pressure below that of the atmosphere is either utilized on the return strokes or prevented during each out-stroke by the provision of automatic outlet or inlet valves respectively. The two-stroke-cycle engine shown in Fig. 1 compresses in a crank chamber, which delivers its charges through a port A when the explosion pressure is below that of the atmosphere and the piston has performed a portion only of its out-stroke. The entering charges force the combustion products from the upper cylinder and the passage B into the annular space X, whereupon the port E is closed by a mechanically-actuated valve C, and the combustion products expand again to below atmospheric pressure. On the return stroke, the charge in the upper cylinder is compressed, the vacuum in the lower cylinder being utilized until the rise of the piston increases the cylinder pressure sufficiently to expel the combustion products through an automatic outlet valve D, the port E being uncovered by the bottom edge of the valve C. The valve C opens the port E to the combustion chamber at the end of the in-stroke, whereupon a portion of the combustion gases which has been retained and highly compressed in the anular cylinder is transferred to the chamber B to ignite the new charge. If preferred, the automatic outlet valve D may be replaced by an automatic inlet valve, which opens into the cylinder X and destroys the vacuum during the out-stroke. In the fourstroke-cycle engine shown in Fig. 2, an automatic inlet valve D is mounted on the cylinder K, the formation of a vacuum therein thus being prevented. The normal charge is drawn in through a valve A, and the combustion products of the upper cylinder are expelled through a valve T, those of the lower cylinder being discharged through the port E, which is uncovered by the valve C towards the limit of its up-stroke. During the second out-stroke, a cooling air charge is drawn into the annular chamber K, a portion of the charge being highly compressed on the up-stroke and forced into the chamber B to effect ignition.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Nitrate of Ammonia and the Compounding thereof with other Salts for Agricultural Purposes.
Inventor: PRICE JOSEPH
IPC: C01C1/18
Filed: 1910-03-07
Granted: 1911-06-07
Abstract: 5657. Price, J. March 7. Ammonium nitrate is prepared by subjecting to a high temperature a mixture of air and water, or the gases constituting these, and additional supplies of oxygen in the proportions to form ammonium nitrate, and liquefying the product by cooling.. The additional oxygen may be obtained from hydrogen peroxide, in which case the hydrogen peroxide is added in the liquefying - chamber after the combination of the remaining gases has been effected. The ammonium nitrate so obtained may be mixed with phosphate, sulphate, or carbonate of lime or other fertilizers, and such admixture has the effect of preventing the deliquescence of the nitrate. The admixture may be effected in the dry state, or the ammonium nitrate or its constituent gases may be passed into solutions or suspensions of the salts in water at a very low temperature and at a high pressure. In the plant shown, air and oxygen are taken from the containers A, B, respectively, and steam is supplied from a generator C. The gases in the proportions above specified pass into a compression chamber D, and from this into the superheating-apparatus E, in which the combination is effected. The gases then pass into the cooler F, in which a vacuum is maintained; and the solution of the salt it is desired to combine with the ammonium nitrate is contained in this chamber. The solution is afterwards concentrated in vacuum pans H. The combination of the gases may be facilitated by catalytic media such as spongy platinum, aluminium or sulphate of lime, or by silent electric discharges.

Title: Improvements in Phorometers.
Inventor: LIEBERMANN LEONARD LOUIS
IPC: A61B3/04
Filed: 1910-04-06
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 8248. Liebermann, L. L. April 6. Sight-testing apparatus.-The instruinent fits in an optician's trial frame, and can be used to detect and measure various forms of heterophoria as well as the amount and direction of the total muscular imbalance. A disk A is divided into squares, the divisions on the rectangular diameters being numbered outwards in units of measurement such as prism-diopters. The centre of the disk is apertured and fitted with an arbor F integral with a carrier D for a suitable prism. The arbor also carries a pointer C parallel with the base-apex line of the prism. To detect and measure esophoria or exophoria, the prism is placed with its base-apex line vertical. A Maddox groove is then placed before the other eye of the patient, and the prism is moved until the streak image produced by the groove and the refracted image produced by the prism coincide; the horizontal component of the inclination of the pointer as read on graduated horizontal diameter is a measure of the horizontal imbalance. Similarly, the vertical imbalance is read off on the graduated vertical diameter when coincidence has been obtained with the prism base-apex line horizontal. The arm C is graduated in similar units to the diameters, so that, by combining the two readings, the total imbalance can be read off on the pointer.
