Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 27,825. Felten & Guilleaume-Lahmeyerwerke Akt.-Ges. Dec. 19, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Switches.-In an ignition device for internalcombustion engines, the electro-magnetic device breaking contact at the sparking-plug is shortcircuited so long as ignition is not to take place. Current is distributed by a rotary distributor constructed of insulating-material, upon the surface-of which is a conducting-strip f interrupted at one point. Two brushes b, c, connected to the ends of the circuit of an electro-magnetic sparking circuitbreaker k, normally rubs over the conducting-strip f, thus short-circuiting the device ; two other brushes a, d normally rub over insulated parts of the distributor cylinder. The interrupted space of the conducting-strip f is occupied by two insulated strips h, i in the surface of the distributor ; and, when the brushes a, b, c, d rub over these, the ignition circuit is made, but is immediately broken in the cylinder at n by the electro-magnet device at k. The brush d may be dispensed with and the device k included in the sparking circuit, in which case an augmented spark due to the interruption of the electro-magnetic circuit at k is obtained.

Abstract: 15,000. Ridley, C. July 15. Oxygen.-In cyclic processes for obtaining oxgyen from solids, the material is treated in one part of an apparatus and is recharged in another part. According to the present invention, the material is conducted by archimedean screws &c. into and from a chamber heated to a temperature suitable for causing the material to give up its gas, and to prevent leakage at the inlet and outlet ducts, the feed is arranged so that there is always a quantity of material left on the ducts &c. The material used may be lead oxide, or permanganate of soda &c., or an earthy oxide &c. In the construction shown, the material is heated in a chamber a with a conical bottom b, in which are situated nozzles c. These nozzles are disposed so that they are capable of forcing convergent or spiral jets of steam into the retort to assist in the evolution of gas. A central shaft t passes through the retort, and is provided with arms w for stirring the material, and with archimedean screws u, v for passing the material through the inlet and outlet ducts. The material falls into a chamber e, where it reabsorbs gas, and this chamber allows for the supply of fresh material. The recharged material passes through rolls f being guided by plates g, and falls into a traversing duct k, in which is a door i for the discharge of waste or spent material. The solid is passed along the duct by an archimedean screw l into an elevating-duct n, from which it falls down a gravity duct q into a retort-dome r before entering the retort. An air-discbarge r<1> is fitted in the dome for freeing the material from air. The gas is withdrawn from the retort through pipes y.

Title: Improvements in Couplings for Vehicles Comprising Two Two-wheeled Carriages.
IPC: B60D1/50
Filed: 1909-01-04
Granted: 1910-01-04
Abstract: 1909184. Kroger, F., and Akt.-Ges. H. F. Eckert. Jan. 4. Shafts and poles.-In vehicles, such as guncarriages, comprising a two-wheeled fore-carriage and a two-wheeled rear-carriage, in which a coupling is used having three axes of rotation at right-angles so arranged that no two axes become parallel as the fore-carriage turns, and in which the draught-pole is balanced in an horizontal position by springs resisting motion about the horizontal transverse axis of the coupling, the springs are arranged in an horizontal position so as to allow a greater range of movement to the pole. Fig. 1 shows a coupling in which the two parts of the vehicle are coupled by a hook a, which engages an eye b formed on a plate u having a hook v at its other side, which is secured bv a pin x in a bearing w on one part of the vehicle. The base c of the hook a turns, to an extent limited by stops, in a fixed bearing d. A nut g is screwed on the shank of the hook, and is secured by a pin k. The nut takes the draught, and forms a thrust surface for a spring l, which bears against a cylindrical casing m sliding in the bearing d. The casing m is slotted at p to engage a projection q on the nut g to ensure that the hook a and the casing m turn together in the bearing d. Pins n on the sides of the casing m engage slots t in forked links o, which have hooks r entering eyes s on the plate u, the axes of the three eyes b, s being in alinement. Any relative rotation of the parts u, d about an horizontal transverse axis causes one or other of the links o to exert a pull on the casing m and compress the spring l. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which rotation can take place about a bolt y, a pivot c<1>, and a bolt e', motion about the bolt y being resisted by springs b<1>. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which a part f<1> turns on a pivot g<1> on a forked member h' embracing a fork i', to which it is connected by pivots k<1>, the fork i' having a shank l<1> turning in a bearing m<1>. Motion about the pivots k<1> is resisted by a spring q<1> acting through links o<1> on the member h'.
