Patent GB-190726225-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in, or relating to, Methods of Compressing the Working Gases in Internal Combustion, or Explosion, Engines, Turbines, and other Apparatus for Producing or Utilising Ignited Gases Under Pressure.
Inventor: FENNELL WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-11-27
Granted: 1908-11-27
Abstract: 26,225. Fennell, W. Nov. 27. Direct explosive-gas pressure apparatus.-The invention relates, mainly, to modifications of the apparatus described in Specification No. 26,224, A.D. 1907, and consists in raising the pressure of the explosive mixture in the combustion chambers by entrapping a portion of each exploded charge and admitting it to the next combustion chamber as the latter passes the storage reservoir shown in Fig. 2. The modified apparatus may be applied to turbines, reciprocating motors, or other apparatus actuated by explosions. It is described in Figs. 1, 2, and 4 in connexion with the water-forcing apparatus referred to in Specification No. 26,224, A.D. 1907. As the charged combustion chambers, which are shown at 17 in Fig. 4, rotate past the storage reservoir 1, Fig. 2, the pressure of the enclosed explosive mixture is increased by the admission of combustion products which leave the reservoir 1 through the port 3. Continuing their rotation each combustion chamber in turn delivers a portion of its ignited charge to the reservoir 1 through the port 4, the remainder of the charge escaping through the port 5, 6 to be used as desired. In the modification shown in Fig. 4 a single port 16 communicates between the combustion chambers 17 and a reservoir 11 having an adjustable end 14, the products of combustion for external work being discharged through the port 18. The pressure of the gases in the reservoir may be utilized to ignite the charges in the combustion chambers. To prevent the mixing of the combustible and non- combustible gases, helical grooves may be formed in the outlet port of the reservoir 1. These give a whirling motion to the products of combustion as they enter the explosion chamber. The waterforcing apparatus may be used in connexion with the turbine described in Specification No. 6977, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Rotary engines &c.].

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Treating and Moulding Plastic Material.
Inventor: LUTZE ALFRED
IPC: A21C5/04
Filed: 1909-09-06
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 20,404. Lutze, A. Sept. 6. Cylinder machines ; extrusion machines. - A machine for subdividing and moulding butter, dough, &c. comprises in combination a feeding- device consisting of two worms arranged at an acute angle, and a divider consisting of a rocking mould frame fitted with a sliding piston, which, on receding during the filling operation, actuates mechanism for stopping the feed, rocking the mould, discharging the moulded material, and restoring the apparatus. Material contained in a hopper 20 is fed by worms 21, 27, through a tapering mouthpiece 25 into the mould 32 formed in the member 33, which is mounted upon a sleeve 34 and is operated by a crank 36 and connecting-rod 35. The plunger 37 is operated by means of a shaft 6 carrying a disk 68, fitted with an eccentric pin 69, adapted to engage with blocks 64<a>, 58 mounted on a sleeve 46 surrounding the plunger stem. Adjustment of the capacity of the mould is effected by means of an adjustable lining 38 and by gearing 62, 61, 56, 57, 52, which controls the position of the block 58 and the position of the plunger. Motion is imparted to the various parts of the apparatus from a main shaft 3, which, through a clutch 13 and gearing 14, 15, 16, 17 drives the feed-worms 21, 27, and, through gearing 7, 8, 4, 9, 10, 11, operates shafts 5, 6 to drive the crank 36 and the disk 68 respectively. A controlling-lever 87, rocking about a pivot 82, is operated alternately by a spring 90 and a cam 91, and, after the action of the latter, throws the clutch 13 into action through the medium of a link 93 and a lever 95, as shown. At the same time, through a slotted connexion 89, it moves a sliding bolt 86 into the path of a clutch key 98 carried by the gear 8, and prevents the gear from being coupled to the shaft 4 carrying the gear 9. The bolt 86 is locked in the position shown by means of a bolt 83, which is maintained in the locking position by a cam 80 mounted upon a counterweighted shaft 74. When the mould is filled, the end 53 of the plunger stem moves back against a stop 71 and rocks a counterweighted shaft 73, which, through cams 76, 77, rocks the shaft 74 and allows the bolt 83 to be withdrawn by a spring 81. The lever 87, under the influence of the spring 90, uncouples the clutch 13, and also withdraws the bolt 86 from the path of the key 98, allowing the shaft 4 to be driven. The gears 10, 11, are loosely mounted upon the shafts 5, 6, and are coupled thereto at predetermined intervals by means of keys 103,104, operated by cam-grooves 106, 107, formed in the machine framing. The shafts 5, 6, are operated alternately, so that the mould member 33 is rocked clear of the mouthpiece 25, the plunger 37 is operated to eject the moulded material, the member 33 is restored, and the plunger is moved back to its original position, after which the cam 91, acting upon the lever 87, closes the clutch 13 and re-starts the feeding- mechanism.
