Title: A New or Improved Machine for Shaping, Grinding, Grooving and Boring Cylindrical Machine Parts.
Inventor: MOLL JOHANN
Filed: 1906-06-15
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 13,786. Moll, J. June 15. Surfacing and polishing. -Cylindrical parts such as crank-pins and shaft seatings for locomotive wheels are shaped, ground, grooved and drilled at one setting by rotating tools 21 mounted in blocks 18 which are radially adjustable by screws 19 in a ring 4 which is slowly rotated in a frame 2 by gearing from a worm 27 on the motor spindle 26, the tools being quickly rotated by bevel-wheels gearing with a ring 9 which is rotated on the frame by a wheel 13. The work 22 is described as being mounted on a lathe support so as to be capable of being moved axially at each rotation of the ring 4. The rotation of the ring 4 is dispensed with during slotdrilling, and also the axial movement of the work during drilling.

Patent GB-190621145-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Cam-discs for Operating the Inlet- and Exhaust-valves in Four-stroke Internal Combustion Engines.
Filed: 1906-09-24
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 21,145. Motoraktiebolaget Reversator. Jan. 8, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas and like engines, valve-gear for. The camdisk shown in Fig. 1 revolves at the same speed as the crank-shaft and reciprocates a block A which operates the exhaust valve of a four-stroke-cycle engine. The block A is pressed against the outer edge of the groove by a spring, and follows the path shown by the full or the dotted arrows according to the direction of rotation of the disk; When reversing is. effected by causing ignition on the compression stroke; the block immediately passes into its new path, but in an engine having more than one cylinder, the cylinders which are not on the compression stroke give only idle strokes during the first cycle in the reverse direction. The invention consists in shaping the grooves, as shown in Fig. 3, so that the block is caused to pass into its new path immediately on reversal, for example from position 4 during forward motion direct to the groove 3, 10, 5, Fig. 3, on reversal instead of by the grooves 4, 3, 2, 1, 8, 7, as in Fig. 1. Exhaust and admission valve cam-disks are also described, suitable for rotating at half the speed of the crank-shaft. In the admission-valve cam-disk, the block passes from the forward to the reverse path through a connecting-groove.

The vertical air vents in the false floor may be provided with shields or baffle-plates to prevent the downward passage of liquid. The filter-beds may be of the kind described in Specification No. 9148, A.D. 1905. According to the Provisional Specification, blocks of clay, porcelain, &c., having inclined and communicating grooves on one or more of their faces are arranged in rows beneath the filtering- material. A channel is formed along each row, and the liquid from the filtering-material collects into the channel and is passed down the grooves. The blocks may be wedge-shaped or in the form of columns or cones, they may be formed integral with the blocks of the arch below, and they may be of perforated brick or of a porous substance such as chalk.

Granted: 1909-04-26
Abstract: 9044. Whitfield, G. S. April 25. [Cognate Application No. 9693, A.D. 1908, dated May 4.] Colour photography; screens.-Colour screens are produced by colouring a glass plate, a film, or sheet of waterproof material, &c., and then applying a resist, such as india-rubber, gutta-percha, bitumen, or paraffin wax, in a suitable solvent such as naphtha. The resist is applied in the form of spots as by an air-spray, and the unprotected colour is removed by dissolving or bleaching the colouring- agent. The film is then dyed another colour and the process is repeated. The resist may finally be dissolved by a solvent so as not to disturb the multi-coloured film, or in some cases may be left on the screen. Alcoholic or aqueous solutions of aniline dyes are preferred. A protecting-film, such as india-rubber or varnish, may be applied to the screen, which can then be sensitized.

Abstract: 15,013. Fricker, G. C. July 15. Motor control systems; switches.-A coil a across the armature terminals of an electric motor becomes increasingly powerful as the speed increases, and pulls down its core f into mercury h<1> contained in an hermetically sealed vessel h. The displaced mercury rises, making contact with depending rods m<13> of different lengths, and short-circuiting resistances in the armature circuit. For heavy-power motors, the depending rods may be connected to the actuating-circuits of separate switches, each of which cuts out a step of resistance. In the particular construction shown, the resistance coils are connected between the outer edges of rings k, k<1> and extend round the entire apparatus.

Title: An Improved Water Circulator for Hot-water Heating Apparatus.
Inventor: BROPHY PATRICK MARY
Filed: 1908-10-03
Granted: 1909-11-03
Abstract: 20,918. Brophy, P. M., and Brophy, M. M. Oct. 3. Injectors for hot-water heating-systems are constructed so that the steam nozzle and the steamregulating valve are adapted to be moved together at different speeds by a single operation. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the valve stem e is provided with a thread f by which the valve is moved, and with a further thread f<1> of less pitch passing through the rear of the steam nozzle c, which is caused to slide in a bearing. The steam and water passages are thus simultaneously enlarged or diminished. In some cases the stem e may pass into the discharge end of the outlet cone d, thus also regulating this outlet. In another form of apparatus, the nozzle and the valve-stem are connected at different points to an arm of a lever.

Title: Improvements in Means for Controlling the Admission and Exhaust of Internal Combustion and other Fluid Pressure Engines.
Inventor: MOSES WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1908-11-12
Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 24,371. Moses, W. H., Ashwin, A. J., and Crowden, C. T. Nov. 12. Gas and like engines.-The cylinder of a reciprocating-engine is arranged to rotate about its axis and is provided with one or more openings for controlling the inlet and outlet of the working fluid. The invention is described as applied to a four stroke-cycle engine, but is applicable generally. The cylinders A, Fig. 1, are mounted in the jacket B with a coned seating at C and a parallel seating at D, and are rotated by bevel, skew, or worm gearing. The cylinders are supported near their lower ends on ball bearings F pressed upwards by springs G, and the upward thrust in the cylinder is taken by ball bearings I which are adjusted by a screw H provided with locking - nuts as shown. This arrangement allows for unequal expansion of the cylinder and the jacket. The bearings I are lubricated by central passages through the adjusting-screws, and oil is forced to the seatings of the cylinders and to the lower ball bearings by way of the annular recesses Y, Z, which are fitted with packing-rings or fibrous packing. Small holes are provided in the cylinders below the recesses Z for lubricating the working pistons. Each cylinder is provided at the upper bearing-surface with a port or ports L co-operating with ports in the casing B. Fig. 3 is a section on the line A-B of Fig. 1, showing the arrangement of the ports for a fourstroke cycle reversible internal-combustion engine. The cylinders rotate at one-fourth the speed of the crank-shaft and each has two opposite ports L, L<1>, co-operating with an inlet passage K an ignition passage M, and an exhaust passage R for forward running or R<1> for backward running. The exhaust passages R, R<1> leading to pipes S, S<1> are controlled for reversing by interconnected valves T, T<1>. A compression relief cock may be fitted to the casing opposite to the ignition passage M. There may be a second exhaust passage diametrically opposite to the first, in order to provide a double opening for the exhaust. The number of ports may be increased so as to reduce the speed of rotation of the cylinders and to provide a number of admission and exhaust passages, or there may be only one opening in a cylinder rotating at the same speed as the crankshaft, according to the application of the invention. The engine is readily dismounted for inspection and cleaning, by removing the jacket B and the cylinders A, and is therefore suitable for the use of crude mineral oil or producer gas as fuel.
