Title: Improvements in or relating to Carburettors for Internal Combustion Engines
Inventor: BRIEST JOSEPH EUGENE MARIE
Filed: 1905-03-01
Granted: 1905-07-27
Abstract: 4301. Briest, J. E. M. March 12,1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas or explosivevapour engines, carburetting in. Tc regulate simultaneously the air and fuel supplies to a carburettor, the cylindrical chamber b, forming the mixing-chamber, is connected to the fuel - supply valve f. The fuel valve is cylindrical at its base and flattened towards its upper extremity. Air is supplied to the carburettor through the passage formed between the lower part l of the mixing-chamber and the conical plug k, the mixture passing to the engine through the ports h, and. the outlet g. The position of the chamber b is regulated by adjustment of the position of the hand- or governoroperated lever n. When the chamber is in its highest position, the mixture supply is cut off by the cylindrical portion of the chamber closing the outlet port g. At the same time, air is drawn into the cylinders through ports o in the casing c and the recessed portions shown at the base of the mixing-chamber. If preferred, the plug k may be adjusted while the sleeve l remains stationary.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Electric Telegraphs.
Filed: 1905-03-28
Granted: 1906-03-22
Abstract: 6557. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Grimston, G. S. March 28. Switches.-Relates t o electric order apparatus for artillery range signals, ships' telegraphs, &c., of the type described in Specification No. 26,686, A.D. 1904, in which the indicator-bearing arm ature at the receiver takes up a position depending on the distribution of the excited eleotromagnets surrounding the armature, the correct distribution being obtained by means of a special transmitter. According to the present invention, the operative parts of the transmitter or receiver are carried in a casing, which, when put into place upon its base, automatically makes the required connexion with the line-wires. The apparatus shown is for artillery ranges and comprises three transmitters mounted on a single base. Figs. 1 and 3 are front and end elevations respectively of the transmitter. The base a carries twenty - eight terminals a', numbered 1 ... 28, for the linewires, and three rows of twelve terminals, each having a metal pin b<1>, adapted to engage with corresponding springs f<2> when the casing c is put in place. Ten of the springs f<2> in each row are connected to the insulated segments e<3>, while the other two springs f<2> are connected to concentric rings e', e<2> and to the source of current. In the right-hand transmitter, eight of the terminals are connected in pairs, since only four numbers 0, 25, 50, 75 have to be sent by this transmitter. The handle h<3>, Figs. 1 and 3, has a pointer h<2> and a spring detent h<1>, adapted to engage in one of the ten notches c<1> in the casing when the handle is moved. The arm h is mounted on a shaft g carrying a toothed sector i gearing with a pinion on the shaft l, which carries a disk k<1> provided with spring pins, of which six k<2> engage the segments e<3>, two k<7> the ring e', and two k<8> the ring e'. Three of the pins k<2> are connected to pins k<7> by a conducting-piece k<3>, and the other three pins to the pins k<8> by the piece k<4>. Thus, in any position of the handle h<3>, three of the segments e<3> are connected through the pins k', k<7> with the ring e', and the diametrically-opposite segments e<3> are connected to the ring e<1>.

Granted: 1906-12-31
Abstract: 6239. Gardner, J. March 15. Signals, marine and ship; sound, controlling and actuating apparatus by.-In order to generate sounds for submarine signalling, and for effecting control of different apparatus or multiple devices at a distant station, the skin or hull of a vessel is vibrated by a magnet energized by an intermittent or alternating current. The magnet B is preferably placed in the bows of the ship below water level, and may be in circuit with a battery C, a signalting key G, and a rotary interrupter E. Two or more magnets may be used, and may be placed in different parts of the ship, and may be used simultaneously and have their windings in series or parallel and be operated from one make- and-break device. The key G may be operated by hand or by an automatic transmitter such as is described in Specification No. 7761, A.D. 1889. The magnets B may be placed in the secondary circuit of a transformer. Instead of breaking the circuit, the current interrupter and the key may act to throw in shunts of suitable resistance. The plates of the vessel may be polarized by means of a permanent magnet. Stays H may be placed as shown so as to cut off the vibration at any desired point, and that part of the skin which is left free to vibrate may have a natural period of vibration corresponding to the frequency of the interrupter The stays also form a ready path for the lines of force. The part of the vessel containing the magnet may be enclosed and filled with water.

Abstract: 12,811. Spiro, C. June 1. Typewriters.-(1) The platen is retained in the carriage by spring - projected bolts N, Figs. 2 and 3, which are bevelled at the forward end N<5> for automatic withdrawal when inserting the platen, and are e a c h provided with a lug 0 for retraction by hand. The lug 0 is fitted so that it can be detached sideways from the bolt when the abutment N<3> of the bolt spring N<2> is removed to permit depression of the lug into a recess 0<4> in the framing. (2) The line indicators G, Figs. 2 and 3, are secured to the cradle B<1> so that they maintain their r relationship with the platen in case shift. The upper portion G<2> of the indicator is hinged to the lower part, as at G<3>, and overhangs the platen and is pressed towards the platen by a spring G<4>. The overhanging portion is graduated. The indicators serve to hold the lower edge of the paper when writing to the bottom of the sheet. (3) A roller J, Figs. 2 and 3, is provided to hold down the. front edge of the paper. This roller is carried by a swinging frame or yoke J<1> conveniently pivoted on the usual spring-retained paper scale K. (4) The back-spacing device is arranged so that the operating key or member is near the left-hand end of the carriage. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the operating-lever B is connected directly or by a link A<3> to a rack E guided by cam-slots E<3> and screws E<1> on a sliding member D guided by slots D<1> and screws D<2>. The rack E co-operates with a detent F on the carriage. The cam-slots E<3> provide for an initial parallel motion of the rack E towards and from the detent F, before the movement of the rack E with the member D. The member D is retained by a detent co-operating with recesses D', D<5>, until the lateral movement of the rack E is completed. The rack might be on the carriage and the detent movable. The parts are returned by a spring A<2>. In a modification, shown in Fig. 6, the member D is dispensed with and the cam-slots E' are extended fur the end movement. The detent F is pivoted and provided with a spring-control F<1>. (5) The tabulating- stops L, Figs. 2 and 5, engage the rack L<1> by jaws L<2> so that they are readily detachable for adjustment. The stops are simultaneously 'locked by means of a bar M guided by cam-slots M<2>and screws M<1> and operated by a thumb-piece M<3>. The bar M enters notches L<3> in the extended jaws L<2>. The bar M may be spring-retained.
