Title: Improvements in and relating to Hot Air and like Engines.
Inventor: TOMLINSON THOMAS
Filed: 1898-06-20
Granted: 1899-07-20
Abstract: 13,695. Tomlinson, T. June 20. Furnace-gas engine furnaces.-Heavy oils and oil refuse are burned in the apparatus to produce hot gases to drive hot-air and like engines. Air from a reservoir l is heated in a coil w, and issuing from a nozzle a mixes with a current of oil from the reservoir h; this oil, especially at starting, is of a kind that is easily vaporized. The mixture meets a further current of air in excess as it issues from the nozzle b. and is ignited by an electric igniter. The products escape at c and meet another body of air by which they are cooled to a temperature at which the heavy oil or refuse will become vaporized without leaving a tarry residue. The mixture of products and air passes over a nozzle g and mixes with a charge of heavy oil from the reservoir j and vaporizes it. On issuing from the nozzle d, the carburetted charge mixes with an excess of air and is ignited at y. The heated products then mix with a further charge of air on emerging from the nozzle e, and enter a reservoir k, whence they are admitted to the motor cylinders. After starting, the air supplied to the nozzle a is heated in the chamber q. The oil is forced from the reservoir by air supplied by the pipe r. The hot gases escaping from the nozzle e may be used as the primary air supply for other similar sets of apparatus. The spaces v between the conical air passages are filled with refractory material.

Abstract: 14,200. Fassbender, F. June 27. Calendars.-The calendar shows the phase of the moon, the day of the week and of the month, and the month. The phase of the moon is indicated through a circular aperture by the amount shown of one of two equal circles marked eccentrically on the disc c. The days of the week are marked on a disc sleeved on the spindle i<1> and connected to a seven-toothed ratchet-wheel l. These discs are actuated daily by pawls b<1>, l<1> carried by levers b, k<3> which receive motion from the sliding rod a<3> on depressing the knob a by hand. The days of the month are placed on a large disc T in three concentric circles, marked respectively 1-31, 1-30, and 1-28, and showing through holes on the month disc M, which holes are so arranged as to come into position according to the number of days in the month. The month disc M is turned one twelfth of a revolution for each rotation of the disc T by a pin q engaging pins r. The disc T is actuated by the engagement of one of three pawls f <1>, f<2>, f<3> on levers e', e', e<3> (f<3> and e<3> being concealed behind f<1> and e<1> in Fig. 3), engaging with a corresponding row of teeth on a drum i. There are three such rows, having respectively 31, 30, and 28 teeth, and the required lever is forced into position to be engaged by one of three slip pawls or tappets d<3> on the sliding rod a<3> by a sort of triple cam wheel on the axis of the month disc. Thus, in Fig. 3, the lever e<2> and pawl f <2> are in action, and at each daily depression of the knob a the drum i will be advanced one tooth space (1/31, 1/30, or 1/28 of a rotation according to the number of the days in the month) until the pin q alters the month disc and with it, if necessary, the lever in action.

Abstract: 2368. Potter, J. C., and Johnston, J. Feb. 2. Shaping.-The tool carriage or head c, Fig. 4, of a shaping-machine is mounted in guideways a<2> on a pedestal a, Fig. 1, and driven in the usual way. The slide a<4> can be vertically moved by a screw a<6> operated from a belt pulley a<21> through a reversing-train of bevel-wheels and a clutch controlled by a handle a<23>. A screw a<5>, with a self-acting feed b, operates a second slide a<10> on the slide a'. The slide a<10> has a trunnion a<9> on which the work table a<7> can be angularly adjusted and clamped by a central bolt a<11>. The tool box d, Fig. 4, is angularly adjustable on the slide c<28>, which is fed on a frame c' by a screw c<6>. The frame has a trunnion c<3> fitting in the head c, is graduated so that it can be angularly set, and is held by a central sleeve c<29> tightened by a wedge yoke c<30>, Fig. 5, forced into inclined recesses c<31> in the sides of the sleeve by a screw c<32> in the head. The tool may be fed automatically by rotating a spindle c<10> passing through the sleeve and geared to the feed-screw c<6>. The spindle has a ratchet-wheel c<15>, Fig. 8, and a loose pawl arm c<16>, carrying a spring pawl c<21> normally disengaged from the ratchet-wheel by the cam-shaped end of a pin c<22> in the head. The boss of the pawl arm is toothed and engages a worm shaft c<17>, movable longitudinally but normally projected to the right of the head by a spring c<20>. During the back stroke of the head, the end of the shaft engages a cam plate c<27> adjustably secured on the guideways a<2>, and is forced inwards, compressing the spring, and rotating the pawl arm to allow the pawl to engage the ratchet-wheel. When the end of the shaft leaves the cam plate, the shaft is again projected, and the pawl arm restored to its initial position, rotating the ratchet-wheel and effecting the feed. To adjust the feed, the projection of the shaft is varied by rotating it by means of an arm c<24>, operating a wheel c<23> engaging a pinion part c<19> of the shaft. The arm is held by a spring pin c<25>. The feed is automatically stopped at a determined point by an arm (not shown) on a spindle c<13>, the latter carrying a wheel c<12> engaging a screwed portion of the spindle c<10>. This arm engages at the desired point with a stop, adjustable in a slot concentric with the spindle c<13>, thus locking the spindle c'‹ and preventing the shaft c<17> from being again projected.
