Abstract: 24,886. Higbee, O. J. W. March 11, [Convention date]. Forming hollow-walled vessels.-Relates to a process of manufacturing air- or vacuumjacketed glass vessels 15<a>, Fig. 4, having a solid neck 13. Molten glass is placed in a press mould 1, Fig. 1, provided with a central peg 2, and a plunger 11 is introduced so as to form an internal closed vessel 12 and an outer openbottomed vessel 14 having a projection 17 near the neck 13. A blowing-mould 23, Fig. 2, is then introduced in place of the plunger 11, and the peg 2 is lowered. Air is admitted by way of a passage 6 and valve 8 in the peg 2, and expands the inner vessel to its final form 15<a>. The vessel is then removed from the mould and the bottom of the outer part 14 is heated and closed, as shown in Fig. 4. A tube 26 is fused on to the projection 17, the air is exhausted, and the tube is sealed off. If desired, the air may be allowed to remain in the hollow wall.

Abstract: 26,825. Borst, G. Nov. 30. Spark-arresters.-An irregular deflector, V- shaped in plan. is attached to the blast pipe on the side nearest the tube plate of a locomotive smoke-box, and a screen with hanging plates is placed between the blast pipe .and the smoke-box door. The deflector A comprises two corrugated plates with perforations G on the ridges hung on to an angle-bar D having a little wider angle at the top than at the bottom. The deflector is larger at the top than at the bottom and its top edges slope down to the tube plate and are curved outwards, while the bottom edges curve in towards the blast pipe. A perforated lining C is secured within the corrugated plates at a small distance from them. The screen comprises angle-bar uprights a supporting bars b on brackets f, on which are hung plates g. The plates g are bent round so as to swing on the bars and are separated by distance-pieces c. The central and end distance-pieces d project forward and have pins e acting as stops for the plates. The plates g are cut to accommodate the distancepieces, the bottoms are turned towards the tube plate, and the plates adjacent to the larger distance-pieces d have projections l acting as stops for the other plates. The screen tilts slightly forwards, and vertical plates h are attached to the uprights a and extend towards the smoke-box sides. On the lowest bar b two bent plates m hang having parts stamped out to accommodate hanging plates n. One or more plates S inclined towards the screen as shown are provided near its base.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Valve Mechanism of Internal Combustion and other Engines.
Inventor: MILLER HERMAN PHILIP ERIKSEN
IPC: F01L7/02
Filed: 1912-10-02
Granted: 1913-12-02
Abstract: 22,463. Miller, H. P. E., and Tetlow, E. Oct. 2. Tappet gears. - In valve mechanism applicable to Corliss valves for use in steam engines and of the type described in Specification 22,462/12 the valve body is rotated intermittently in one direction, and operating studs moving in guide slots are alternately driven by a constantly rotating tappet. The invention is described with reference to a four - stroke - cycle internal-combustion engine in which the operations of tappet and studs result in the following sequence. One of the studs is driven for a short period (say through an angle of 140 degrees) until the admission passages are opened whereupon it escapes and remains free while the tappet rotates through about 180 degrees. The second stud is engaged by the tappet to close the admission ports which remain closed while the tappet valve, the valve body, and stud rotate into position for exhaust during a period corresponding to a revolution of say 180 degrees of the tappet. Fig. 1 shows a pair of valves capable of controlling one cylinder, the second valve being used should the first not operate. One valve B is shown in the position it would occupy if it were operated by the valve mechanism shown at the left-hand side of the Figure. Studs D, E are provided with shoes D', E' working in corresponding radial slots B<3>, B<4> in a wrist-plate attached to the valve body. The studs work in a space s between a washer h and a ring G and bowls e attached to the studs co-operate with a cam H<1> on a shaft H, driven at twice the speed of the crank-shaft. In operation, after exhaust the tappet surface H<2> encounters the bowl of the stud D in the slot and moves it to the position shown where the supply at C' passes along a channel B' to the cylinder inlet A<2>. The stud in this position has escaped from the tappet by passing into a recess G<3> under spring action. The tappet then moves forward until it engages the stud E which is prevented from moving into the recess B<3> as it comes into that position by the length of its shoe E', which cannot be moved radially until opposite a recess A<9> in the casing, at which point the stud is free to pass into a recess G<4>. Concentric sleeve or other valves could be arranged so that one stud is in engagement with one valve and the other stud with a second valve.
