Abstract: 12,164. Hauer, E. E. May 19. Il'ixed-abutment type of rotary engine having outwardly - sliding vanes and particularly adapted for driving tube-cleaners. A cylinder 1 having an integral head 2 encloses a sleeve 17 against which bear the sliding vanes 20 of the rotor 11. Motive fluid is admitted to the working-chambers 18, 19 through a chamber 8 and ports 23 in a screwed head 7, and ports 22 at one end of the sleeve 17. Discharge ports at the opposite end of the sleeve register with ports in a plate 25 and ports 3 in the head 2. The ports 3 are arranged in a ring and separated by sharp receiving edges 5, Fig. 6. The plate 25, sleeve 17, and head 7 are secured against relative rotation by dowel pins. The rotor shaft 12, which carries a thrust collar 29, is held stationary, while the tool to be driven is screwed to the end 16, by a wrench engaging flats 31 on the shaft. The plate 25 may be formed integrally with the sleeve 17.

Title: Improvements in Drill Mechanism.
Inventor: RILEY WILLIAM KING
IPC: E21B19/083
Filed: 1911-11-02
Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 24,390. Riley, W. K. Nov. 2. Percussive drills.-In a percussive drill having means operated by fluid pressure tending to advance the drill upon a frame, friction means operated by pressure fluid from the same source prevent such advance until the piston imparts a jar to the cylinder owing to the drill striking with insufficient force. The cylinder 7 slides on a frame 5 and is connected to a piston 61, which works in a cylindrical part of the frame, and behind which pressure fluid acts to press the drill forwards. Movement is normally prevented by a pinion 70 engaging rack teeth on the piston 61, the spindle of the pinion 70 carrying a band brake 76 actuated by a piston 80 pressed by fluid admitted through a port 83. The friction may be adjusted through a screw 82<a>. When the drill does not strike with sufficient force, the piston 17 strikes a buffer 33, and the cylinder 7 moves forward. A manually - releasable spring catch prevents rearward movement. A push-valve 103 admits fluid into the piston 61 through a stationary piston-rod 100 to move the cylinder 7 rearwards. The cylinder may be moved by hand through the pinion 70 and rack. A rifled pump-rod on the piston 17 forces water through the piston to the tool, and is also employed to rotate the tool.

Title: An Improved Carburetter for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: MARTIN WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: F02M9/02

Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 27,784. Martin, W. E. Dec. 11. [Addition to 131/11.] Spray carburettors.- In the carburettor described in the parent Specification, a sliding throttle valve controls simultaneously and equally an air port and a port between the mixing and suction chambers. The invention consists in reducing the area of the passage between the suction and mixing-chambers at that end which is first uncovered by the throttle so that when the throttle is only slightly open there is considerable difference between the air inlet and suction openings, the difference decreasing as the ports are opened. The means consist of a rotatable cap c<2>, Fig. 2, the flange c<3> of which is of varying depth so that as it is rotated varying lengths of the suction passage D are covered. The air-inlet shutter is actuated by the lever F, F<1>. In a modification, the throttle has a sliding portion which can project to varying distances beyond the edge of the throttle.

Abstract: 9029. Muntz, A. I. April 17. Wire strainers. - In wire strainers of the rack and reciprocating- lever type, the wire to be strained is secured by an eccentric 32 and a roller 31 to a plate 30, which is pivoted at 29 to a rocking frame 19. The frame is slotted to enclose the rack and to carry pawls 22 provided at their ends with pins 24, 25 adapted to engage the teeth 2 of the rack. The pins extend through gaps 26, 27 in the frame and are connected at their ends by a spring. The teeth 2 of the rack are formed with circular faces to co-operate with the similarly-shaped ends of the gaps 26, 27 to constitute approximately circular bearings for the pins 25, 26 when acting as pivots for the rocking frame 19. The frame is provided at its ends with projections 36, 37, over which the lever 39 may be fitted, and with stops 47, 48 which act in co-operation with the rack to limit the movement of the lever. To the ends of the rack are secured, by thumb-screws engaging holes therein, gripping-slides 15, 44, each of which bears a roller 10 and an eccentric cam 12 provided with a faceted portion 14 adapted to be engaged by a spanner. The broken wire or a wire 8 carried by the fence post is gripped by the slide 15, and the wire 4 to be strained passes through the gripper 44, which serves to hold the wire while the frame 19 is returned to the beginning of the rack. A device for securing the wire 8 to the fence post comprises a forked lever 5 provided with claws 6 which engage with the post. The wire is fastened to an eye 7, and after encircling the post passes round a hook 9 to the gripper 15.

The gear trains are arranged after the manner described in Specifications 25,893/10 and 26,192/11, but the sun-pinions are provided with adjacent clutch teeth k, l and are separated by a spring N, so that for the intermediate speed the sun-pinion K is brought into engagement with the fixed clutch B, and for the lowest speed the sun-pinion L is drawn further to the right to be locked to the pinion K which is still held stationary. When the clutch cannot be secured directly to the anchorplate, the axle may have a squared or flattened part for engagement by the plate. Rings D<1>, E<1>, carried by the planet-pinion studs, have internal clutch teeth to engage the respective sun-pinions in order to give the direct drive. A flat spring T<1> secured to the free - wheel sprocket T and gripping the axle prevents the sprocket from turning when the motor-cycle is running. According to the Provisional Specification (1) the free-engine clutch P may be arranged in combination with the driving-member or the driven member of the gear, (2) the stationary clutch may be disposed either at the driving or at the driven end of the gear and may be formed with internal teeth to accommodate the teeth of the sun-pinion, or may have teeth to engage teeth cut in the outer face of the sun-pinion, (3) the driving-member, the central carrier, or the driven member may have clutch teeth, with which the sun-pinion or either of them may engage, and (4) the fulcrum arm is preferably adjustable.

Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 9663. Savory, E. W., and Battey, A. F. April 24. Inking-apparatus.-A device for wiping dies in stamping-presses as they pass from the inking- apparatus to the press comprises a rotary oscillating surface over which a web of paper passes and means for intermittently raising and lowering this surface and for imparting the rotary oscillation to it so as to cause the wiping- material to move in the opposite direction to the die while in contact therewith. As shown, a wiping-drum e is mounted in bearings normally raised by a spring i, but these are depressed by a cam on a shaft q in order to depress the drum e on to the die after this has been inked. The shaft q is oscillated from a cam z on the main shaft of the die press by means of crank or other mechanism x, w, t, s, r. Over the drum e passes a web d which passes from a spool b and is wound up on a spool c on a shaft j in frictional driving connexion with a freely-mounted pulley m acted on by an adjustable spring o. The shaft of the spool b is braked by a disk 16 acted on by an adjustable spring 15 which is so set that the web d is normally stationary. When the drum e is moved into contact with the die, it is rotated by means of a crank 3, connecting-rod 4, lever 5, and cam 8, and the web d is moved in a direction opposite to that of the die. After the die is wiped the drum e is raised and given a reverse motion, the surplus web being then wound upon the spool c. The rod 4 is connected to the crank 3 by a spring 9 and the position of the end of the rod 4 on the crank, and consequently the extent of the oscillating motion given to the drum c, is adjustable.
