Title: New Hydrocarbon Motor.
Inventor: AURIOL PAUL
Filed: 1904-05-09
Granted: 1904-09-22
Abstract: 10,636. Auriol, P. May 12, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Revolving-cylinder type of gas and like engine. Two cylinders A, A<1> revolve about a stationary crank shaft, to the opposite cranks F of which the pistons B, B<1> are connected through return connecting-rods E, E<1> and crossheads C, C' which balance the pistons and work in guides D, D<1> which balance the cylinders. The engine works on a four-stroke cycle, and each cylinder has a single valve J, J<1> which is opened during the suction and exhaust strokes, in addition to the rotary admission valve N and exhaust valve N', which serve both cylinders. The valves J, J<1> are worked by a halfspeed shaft which works the igniting-switch. The switch has four brushes, two for the primary and two for the secondary circuit of an induction coil. The movement of the pistons draws air into the crank chamber near the axle and expels it near the periphery. The exhaust escapes through holes e uncovered by the piston and is conveyed to a cylindrical vessel with holes for its escape in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation. The engine is enclosed in a cylindrical cage to prevent accidents, and carries vanes to create a draught which assists in cooling it.

Title: Apparatus for Automatically Indicating and Registering by Electrical Means the Progress or Course of several Physical Processes or Phenomena.
Filed: 1904-08-11
Granted: 1904-12-01
Abstract: 17,528. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Aug. 11. Registering observations by instruments.-A single measuring-instrument V is caused to mark periodically on travelling paper f, and is influenced electrically at successive times of marking by several independent observing - instruments T. Intermittent records are thus obtained from all the observing-instruments T in a definite order on one band of paper. The instruments T may be thermocouples for observing temperatures at five different places, by connection to a sensitive volt-meter V, the necessary changes of connections being made by the apparatus indicated. The paper f and three contact-wheels g, i, k are driven by one clockwork ; the wheels may turn once a minute. The marker of the volt-meter is free to deflect, except when it is pressed against the paper by a yoke b, operated by the armature of an electromagnet d on current being supplied to this electromagnet by teeth on the wheel g touching a stationary spring h. Four teeth are provided on the wheel g, so that four marks are made near together on the paper. Immediately after marking, the volt-meter is short-circuited for a time by contact of the projection i with another spring, to check vibration, and the volt-meter is connected to the thermo-couple T next in order. An interval of time then passes sufficient to allow the marker of the volt-meter to deflect to its new position, before being again pressed against the paper. The thermo-couples are connected to contact-springs q, any pair of which may be pressed together by a cam p on a ratchet-wheel o, to connect the corresponding thermo-couple T to the volt-meter. The ratchet-wheel o is turned by a pawl-lover r, operated by an electromagnet m when current is supplied to this electromagnet by contact of teeth on the wheel k with a stationary spring. The movements of the pawl-lever r are retarded by an air dash-pot s or otherwise, to avoid overdriving due to intermittent contact of a tooth of the wheel k with its spring.
Patent GB-190421206-A (GB)
Title: A Machine for the Dealing of Playing Cards.
Inventor: MURCH GEORGE
Filed: 1904-10-03
Granted: 1905-10-03
Abstract: 21,206. Murch, G. Oct. 3. Card games.-An appliance for dealing cards consists of a box shown in Fig. 4, with an open side carried by a revoluble disc 9, Fig. 2, which is mounted above a suitablysupported disc 3 and connected to a vertical operating-spindle 10, which may be provided with ball bearings 13. The cards a are pressed upwards against the delivery roller 14 by means of springs 16 acting on the box, and the upward movement is guided by rods 21<1>, which pass through holes in the side 19 of the box. The roller 14, which may be covered with rubber and provided with a damper, delivers the cards when it is rotated. The roller spindle 6 passes through the spindle 10, and the rotation of the roller is effected by the pinion 5 on the roller spindle gearing with one of a series of circular racks 4 fixed to the disc 3. The number of cards delivered at each revolution of the spindle 10 can be adjusted by varying the position of the cards relatively to the roller 14. For this purpose, the box and its mount may be adjustable horizontally ; or, blocks of different thickness may be inserted between the end of the box and the cards. The number of cards can also be adjusted by using rollers 14 of various sizes, and by gearing the wheel 5 with different racks 4. To ensure only one card being dealt at a time, the sides 18, 18' of the box are lined with rubber, and the hinged side 18<1> is maintained in position by springs 20 and a catch 23. When cards are to be inserted in the box, the box may be depressed away from the roller 14, and the hinged side forced outwards by depressing a spring-plunger 25, which releases the hinged side from the catch 23, and moves it outwards against the action of the springs by actuating a rod 27. To ensure an even pressure on the sides of the cards a, the side 18<1>, Fig. 5, instead of being hinged, is connected at the top and bottom to the side 18 by means of telescopic slides 31 acted on by springs 32. To prevent damage to the last cards dealt, a sheet of stout cardboard of the size of the cards may be arranged under the pack. Instead of using the wheel 5, a rubber-faced wheel may drive the disc 9 by friction, and positions are marked on the shaft 6 to indicate where the wheel should be set to deal the cards to different numbers of players. The disc 9 is slotted longitudinally to permit the adjustment of the wheel 5 &c. Different means for adjusting the number of cards dealt per revolution may be used in combination. One or more gear-wheels 9 may be interposed between the wheel 5 and rack 4, so that, by employing different arrangements of gear-wheels, the dealing may be altered. The disc 9 may be provided with a hinged slide, down which the cards may be delivered on to the table, and in this case a large roller is used and the disc 9 is revolved slowly. The apparatus may be driven by clockwork.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Producing High Potential Electric Discharges, particularly for Igniting the Charge of an Internal Combustion Engine.
Inventor: NICHOLSON ARTHUR HAROLD
Filed: 1905-01-17
Granted: 1906-02-17
Abstract: 934. Nicholson, A. H. Jan. 17. Gas and like engines, igniting in. To avoid using a large magneto driven by positive gearing for igniting the charge of an internal - combustion engine &c., a small fast-running magneto is used to charge a condenser, which is discharged through the primary of an induction coil. The apparatus consists of the combination of a magneto a, a condenser of fairly large capacity b, induction coils c, k and contact breakers d, h. The rectifier used is so constructed that the lowest E.M.F. delivered by the generator corresponds with the potential to which the condenser is required to be charged. An arrangement for a single cylinder is shown in Fig. 1. In a modification, Fig. 2, the arrangement is such that the condenser is not charged through the primary but only discharged through it. The contact-breaker l, m is set a little in advance of d, h so as to break the magneto circuit before the sparking circuit, thus preventing short-circuiting of the armature. Arrangements for four cylinders are described. In one case a terminal of each of the primary and secondary coils is connected to a common conductor, and in the other one terminal of each of the primaries is connected to a common conductor and one terminal of each of the secondaries to another common conductor. The Provisional Specification states that the high potential discharges produced may be employed for exciting vacuum tubes, and for other purposes.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Smoke-boxes of Locomotive Engine and similar Boilers.
Inventor: YOUNGHUSBAND SAMUEL SMITH
Filed: 1905-11-30
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 24,808. Younghusband, S. S. Nov. 30. Smoke-boxes. - Relates to apparatus for ejecting cinders from the smokeboxes of boilers of the locomotive type, wherein steam and water jets in conjunction with the blast are employed and grids are interposed between the upper end of the blast pipe and the lower end of the chimney to prevent the escape of live cinders. As shown in Fig. 2, the blast pipe A is surrounded by the petticoat pipe C, which has a flared inlet and descends to within a short distance of the hoppershaped floor D of the smoke-box. The ashes are raised through the petticoat by the exhaustive action of the blast, and are there crushed. Steam jets issuing from the pipes L, K assist the action of the blast pipe. To prevent larger cinders from reaching the chimney except by way of the petticoat, a spark-arrester in the form of a cage G may be constructed of vertical rods and placed between the lower end of the skirt e and the dished tray H at the top of the blast pipe. To ensure the effectual extinction of sparks or incandescent cinders as they escape to the chimney, an annular row of upwardly-directed water-jets may be provided, as at N, around the upper end of the petticoat, a similar and supplementary row of water-jets being provided, if desired, around the lower part of the interior or of the chimney. Fig. 3 shows the arrangement with outside cylinder engines. In this case, the petticoat surrounds the union only of the breeches pipes A', A<1>, the petticoat being lengthened as in the previous case, so that its flared end is closed above the hopper-shaped bottom D. The upwardly tapered plug O extends to the flared mouth from below and serves to support the jet pipe L. The underside of the union of the breeches pipes is preferably made so as to present a knife-edge to the ascending current and to assist in dividing the stream into two branches.

Ornamental - sewing machines; feed presser-feet; work - supports. - Consists in handoperated mechanism for rotating the work plate and presser - foot together, so that the work may be fed in any direction to the needle. The presser-foot is mounted in a ring 15, Fig. 1, rotatable in a grooved bearing 16. Lower down, the pillar 14 is engaged by a freelyrotatable ring 11 provided with a toothed periphery. The work-plate 25 is also mounted on a toothed rotatable wheel 22. Both these toothed wheels are engaged by other toothed wheels 10, 21, the latter pair being rotated from a vertical shaft with the top and bottom ends of which they are connected by cranks and levers. The shaft is rotated by a hand-crank 2. The feed-dog 27 is rotated by the wheel 22, and is supported in a grooved frame 28, so as to be able to rotate freely, and to be capable of endlong motion therein. The frame is lifted by a crank on a rotating shaft 44 below, and raises the dog into operative position. Endlong motion is then given to the dog by connecting its support 29 with a reciprocating part 33. The latter has a downwardly-projecting inclined gudgeon 35 taking into a vertically-reciprocating ring 36, thus causing the part 33 to reciprocate with the dog.
