Abstract: 12,346. Ionides, A. C. May 24. Mains and pipes.-In a device for preventing the backward propagation of flame along a conduit conveying an inflammable gaseous mixture, the flame is spread at right-angles to the direction of its propagation in a passage of constant cross-sectional area, the passage thus offering a minimum resistance to the normal flow of the mixture. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the conduit a is provided with a casing c, in which is fixed a member d having a conical surface e at the end facing the direction of normal flow of the gaseous mixture, but having a flat surface f at the other end. The annular passage between the surfaces f, h is of constant cross-sectional area, the surface h being of hyperbolic form. In a modification, the member d takes the form of a disk having hyperbolically-formed upper and lower surfaces, the surrounding casing being cylindrical, with flat end walls. A further modification provides a chamber in which the energy of a back-fire is partly absorbed.

Abstract: 23,292. Wimalasurendra, D. J. Oct. 11. Turning-gear.-Air compressed in one of the engine cylinders, or a portion of the compressed explosive mixture or of the explosion products, passes into a reservoir through a spring-loaded valve a, Fig. 4, carrying a piston c, the valve stem being guided in an adjusting-nut d. Only one spring n may be used, or a second spring o may bear through a lever p and pieces q on the valve ; the two springs when bearing on the valve keep it permanently closed, but by raising the lever p through a bell-crank r, the spring o is lifted and air &c. can pass through the valve. A non-return valve is placed between the valve a and the reservoir. The air &c. is used in a motor g, Fig. 2, for starting the engine, the motor driving the engine shaft j through gearing h<2>, a sleeve h, and clutch teeth h<5>, i<1>, i<2>, and j<1>. The sleeve h is formed in two parts connected by a ball race h<Î>.
