Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Pumps or Compressors.
Inventor: STECKEL ABRAM PETERS
Filed: 1913-08-13
Granted: 1914-08-13
Abstract: 18,439. Steckel, A. P. Aug. 13. Direct explosion apparatus.-Internal-combustion pumps or compressors of the liquid-piston type are provided with chargecontrolling pistons working inside the combustion chambers to separate the incoming charge from the products of combustion during the admission and exhaust strokes, the fresh charge being finally transferred to the liquid-piston side of the charge-controlling piston prior to explosion. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the chargecontrolling piston 6 is shown in its upper position and the charge beneath it is ready for explosion. When explosion occurs, the liquid column is forced outwards from the combustion chamber and the momentum of the column ultimately causes a reduction of pressure which draws in water through the valves 19, scavenging-air through the exhaust valve 10, and a fresh charge of combustible gas through the admission valve 9. The volume of the charge is determined by the cap 8, which limits the downward movement of the piston 6. Upon the return stroke of the water column, the burnt gases are expelled through the exhaust valve 10, which shuts as soon as the water comes into contact therewith, and the piston 6 is forced upwards, compressing the fresh charge above it. When the piston is near the top of the combustion chamber, it uncovers a groove 4<1>, and the compressed charge passes round to the lower side of the piston. Finally the piston 6 reaches the top of the cylinder, whereupon it completes an electric circuit at the point 24 and effects ignition. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the groove 4<1> is replaced by valves 59 in the piston, and the final movement of the piston towards the top of the combustion chamber is effected by a piston and cylinder 44, 45 transmitting motion to the piston 41 by flexible connexions 50.

Abstract: 19,333. Albert, E. Aug. 29, 1912, [Convention date]. Photomechanical printing-surfaces.-In the preparation of printing-surfaces for printing in several colours, each printing-surface is made by a double exposure with the screen in two angular positions, and one of the two angular positions for one colour coincides with one of the angular positions for a second colour. Angular positions of 30 degrees are preferably used, allowing for printing in three colours. Fig. 1 illustrates the relative angular positions for making the red and blue printing-surfaces, showing the common angular position for the red and blue printing-surfaces. The exposure in the two positions of the screen may be different, in which case the longer exposure must not coincide with the common positions of the screen for two of the printing-surfaces. Screens with different widths of spacings may be used for making the different printing-surfaces for a larger number of colours than three.
