Granted: 1915-05-27
Abstract: 14,173. Poppe, P. A. June 12. [Cognate Application, 21,307/14.] Waste and residual Liquid, catching and returning.- A device for preventing the escape of lubricating-oil from an internal-combustion engine, in which the crank chamber or the like is subject to internal air pressure may also be used to prevent the loss of liquid from a pump. A chamber or recess in which the oil leakage collects is connected to the crank-chamber by a pipe or passage of the shape shown in Fig. 3. A head of oil in the upper arm 1 balances the air pressure in the crankchamber, and excess of oil flows over the bend 4 and enters the crank-chamber by the arm 2; the bend 3 forms a liquid seal preventing air from passing upwards. In a modification, the recess is connected to the crank-chamber by a conical hole which contains a conical plug K, a development of which is shown in Fig. 13. The sinuous passage 1, 2, 3 is formed by grooving the surface of the plug. Fig. 14 shows the plug K used in a vertical-shaft bearing and placed in a hole in the shaft. Oil that collects in a recess M passes through the grooves in the plug, and is discharged through a radial hole L<2>. Fig. 16 shows a modification in which the sinuous passage is replaced by a pipe projecting below the level of the oil in the crankchamber. Oil that leaks past the bearing A <2> to the chamber B flows down the pipe P, in which a head of oil balances the air pressure and forms a liquid seal. In the application to a pump, the leaking liquid collects in a recess outside the pump chamber and returns to the interior through a sinuous passage as described.

IPC: B65H3/08
Filed: 1915-03-04
Abstract: 3515. Thompson, C. H., and Cooper, Sir R. A., [trading as Cooper & Nephews, W.]. March 4. Sheet-separators.-Sheets are separated from a pile by one or more suction feet each pivoted to a rocking link and having its centre of gravity so arranged relatively to the pivot that, after the foot has been lowered into contact with the pile and commences to lift, the foot tilts and bends the front end of the adhering top sheet upwardly so as to separate it from the next. The further lifting movement of the rocking-link directs the sheet between a rotating roll and knurled disks arranged above and rotating in contact therewith, the disks serving to press the sheet off the suction foot. The foot is constructed with a number of cells d, Fig. 4, communicating by small apertures e with a suction chamber f connected by a flexible tube g with a pump. The rear part of the foot is curved concentrically with the pivot, which connects the foot with a link b, Fig. 2, such link being connected to an arm a and rocked by a crank-arm i. The foot delivers the separated sheet between a rotating roll m and knurled disks n, which coact therewith and also serve to press the sheet off the foot.
Patent GB-191503733-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrical Switches.
Inventor: WYNNE ALBERT COURTNEY
IPC: H01H19/32
Filed: 1915-03-09
Abstract: 3733. Wynne, A. C. March 9. Switches, quick-action.-Consists in adapting the quick make-and-break mechanism for tumbler switches described in Specifications 5462/12 and 26,517/12 to switches of the type operated by a rotary member, the axis of which is at right-angles to the plane in which the contact member moves. The rotary operating-shaft f, mounted in bearing-plates e, d, carries a loose sleeve g<3>, to which the contact member g adapted to bridge the fixed contacts b, c is fixed. Mounted on the spindle between the bearing-plate d and the sleeve is a cammember h having curved slots o<1>, x<1>, Fig. 6, with which engage projections o, x from the sleeve and spindle respectively so as to afford a lost-motion connexion between the cam and the contact member. The cam - member is formed with a nose h<4> and two shoulders with which engages a spring or a spring-pressed plunger j. The contact member and the cammember are connected together by a light secondary spring k. To bring the switch to the ' on ' position from the ' off ' position shown in Fig. 6, the spindle is rotated in the clockwise direction, whereupon the projection x takes up the lost motion in the slot x<1> and then drives the cam-member, which drives the contact member, the projection o of which is kept up against the driving-end of the slot o<1> by the secondary spring. This initial movement of the contact member continues until the nose of the cam passes the nose of the plunger j, whereupon the cam is given a rapid movement, carrying the contact member rapidly into the ' on ' position independently of the handle. The circuit-breaking operation is performed by a reverse rotation of the spindle and is similar, except that the contact member, after a rapid breaking movement, is taken to the full ' off' position by the action of the secondary spring k. The spring plunger acts through the cam-member to retain the contact member in the ' on' or ' off ' position. The rotary operating motion may be imparted by a detachable sliding plunger which may be a pin attached to the plug member of a plug switch, the plunger co-operating with the central spindle. The cam-member and operating- spindle may be mounted on different centres and be interconnected by a gear-wheel.

Abstract: 4008. Wilson, H. S. March 13, 1914, [Convention date]. Feeding.-The valve controlling the supply of liquid to a centrifugal separator is controlled by a governor so that it does not open until the separator has reached a predetermined speed. The supply valve 17 has a guide 18 working in a tube 15, and is connected by a link and lever to a rod 24, which is actuated by the governor gear shown in Fig. 4. The cream-separator shown is hand-driven, and an extension of an intermediate shaft 27 carries a disk 30 having spring-pulled governor weights 33. Pins 40 on the weight arms 32 engage a collar 38 on a sliding sleeve 36 splined to the shaft 27. This sleeve has two friction bevel - wheels 43, 44 adapted to engage another bevel-wheel 45 on a shaft and running in a bearing 48. The bevelwheel 45 has a flat on its circumference, so that contact with the bevel-wheels 43, 44 rotates it only about 180 degrees. In operation, when the predetermined speed is reached, the weights fly outwards, and the sleeve 36 is moved so that the bevel-wheel 43 turns the bevel-wheel 45 and its shaft 47. A crank on the shaft 47 is connected to the valve-rod 24, whereby the valve is opened. The reverse action takes place on the speed falling. Adjustable stops 41 are provided for the governor weights, and stops 52, 53 limit the movement of the shaft 47.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: COX KENNETH
Filed: 1915-08-25
Abstract: 12,251. Cox, K. Aug. 25. Two-stroke-cycle engines.-In a two-stroke-cycle engine comprising several sets of cylinders, each set consisting of a scavenging-cylinder and two power cylinders, the scavenging-cylinder of one set is connected by a pipe to a power cylinder of another set. Four sets of cylinders 1 ... 4 may be arranged equidistantly around a crank-shaft 5, and in this form the scavenging-cylinder of any set, for example the cylinder 9, is connected by a pipe to a power cylinder of the opposite set, in this case the cylinder 26. The power pistons of each set are of the trunk type and are mounted on the scavenging-piston, which is made with apertures 28 tbrough which air can pass from the crank chamber to the interior of the power pistons. In any opposite pair of sets, for example the sets 1, 2, the inner end of each power piston 11, 12, 31, 32 is provided with ports 29, and the outer ends of the power cylinders 6, 7, 26,27 are formed with ports 15, 17, 23, 25 respectively, the ports of the pistons being in staggered relationship to the ports of the corresponding cylinders. The ports 17, 23 are in communication with the pipes 18, 22 respectively, and the ports 15, 25 open into exhaust pipes. In operation, when an explosive charge has been ignited in the combustion chamber 8, the pistons 10, 11, 12 move outwards, and the movement of the piston 10 causes a partial vacuum in the scavenging-cylinder 9 and pipe 22. At the same time, the inward movement of the scavenging-piston 30 compresses the air which at the end of the last outward stroke of the same was admitted from the crank case to the scavenging-cylinder 20 and pipe 18. As soon as the pistons 11, 12 uncover the ports 15, 17, the air compressed by the piston 30 is forced from the pipe 18 into the power cylinder 7, combustion chamber 8, and power cylinder 6, and drives the combustion products out through the ports 15. A little later in the stroke, the ports 29 pass without the cylinder walls, and fresh air is admitted to the scavenging-cylinder 9 and pipe 22. In other arrangements, there may be more than two pairs of sets of cylinders, and the two sets of cylinders forming a pair need not be directly opposite. The scavenging-piston of one set need not supply scavenging-air to the power cylinders of the set which supplies scavenging-air to the firstmentioned set.
