Patent GB-517964-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to carburettors for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02M7/133
Filed: 1938-05-09
Abstract: 517,964. Spray carburetters. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. May 9, 1938, No. 13811. Convention date, May 10, 1937. [Class 7 (iii)] The accelerating pump of a carburetter in addition to supplying the normal increments of fuel during opehing movements of the throttle valve serves also to furnish a supplementary supply at full or substantial throttle openings the engine suction controlling the time of delivery of the supplementary fuel. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the accelerating pump 10 of a downdraft carburetter is connected with lost motion to the throttle valve through mechanism (not shown). Fuel for normal working is discharged through a nozzle 8 which connects with a fuel reservoir 5. Fuel for the accelerating pump enters through a valve 12 and is discharged normally past a valve 30 into a pipe 31 leading to the venturi-passage 9. Supplementary fuel is delivered by the pump through a valve 25 leading to a passage which discharges into the nozzle 8, the valve being opened by a plunger 20, the position of which is controlled by a piston 22 subject to the suction on the engine side of the throttle valve 3. Communication between the pump 10 and the chamber beneath the plunger 20 is established through a passage 18. Carried by the piston of the pump is a stirrup 32 which during the forcing stroke of the pump will engage the plunger 20 to open the valve 25 should the suction condition in the inlet pipe permit the plunger to occupy its lowermost position. A pin 34 on the rod 21 prevents the plunger from engaging the valve 25 when the engine is stopped. Vapour present in the pump escapes through a valve 14 in the piston 13. In an alternative construction, the accelerating pump is of the diaphragm type the diaphragm making contact with the supplementary valve to open it at the end of the forcing stroke. The engine suction acts on the diaphragm and so controls its position that it fails to reach the valve when the throttle valve is in its slow running and starting positions. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 describes a modification of the construction shown in Fig. 1 in which the pump piston opens the supplementary valve .and the suction-' controlled plunger serves as an additional pump plunger for the fuel supply. It also describes a construction in which the supplementary fuel supply valve is controlled by a suction-operated diaphragm the diaphragm itself forcing supplementary fuel to the delivery nozzle in the air stream. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

A brake lever 59, Fig. 1, rotates a cam 56 which slides with the steering, casing 46 and has two surfaces 56a acting on push rods 57 sliding in the steering rods 43. The outer ends of the rods 57 bear against spring-pressed blocks 34 sliding in sleeves 36 pivoted to the members 6. By means of the blocks 34 the thrust of the rods 57 is transferred to plungers 63 which slide in the brake discs 61 and so apply the brakes. These plungers are adjustable in length and carry pins 67 acting on arms 68 fixed to the brake camshafts 70, Fig. 5. Two pairs of brake blocks 72 pivoted to the disc 61 at 78, are employed in each wheel. The take-off springs 74 and a spring 76 keep the plunger 63 bearing against the blocks 34. In order to transmit the thrust from the block 34 to the plunger in all positions of the lever 8 relatively to the member 6, the block 34 is formed with a sector arm 35, Fig. 3, some part of which always bears against a roller 66 on the plunger 63.

Filed: 1934-05-09
Abstract: 423,148. Glass manufacture. JORGENSEN, J. R. C., 26, Farringdon Street, London. May 9, 1934, No. 14048. [Class 56] A method of making glass rods and tubes consists in delivering molten glass from one receptacle to another receptacle, and causing an unobstructed flow of the molten glass in the second receptacle over an annular weir to form the required tube or rod. The receptacles 1, 7 may be arranged one above the other, as shown, the receptacle 1' receiving molten glass from a tank 2. An outlet 6 in the floor of this receptacle allows the glass to flow into the lower receptacle 7 whence it flows over an annular weir 13. The receptacle 1 is rotated by a motor 9, and the receptacle 7 can remain stationary or be rotated, as desired. The upper receptacle can also be fitted with an annular weir, similar to the weir 13, in order to allow the glass to flow into the lower receptacle. Instead of being arranged on different levels, the receptacles may be concentric with one another on the same level. In this case, the outer receptacle is of annular shape and its inner wall, over which the glass flows, is provided with a lip which extends over the outer wall of the second receptacle. It is stated that the apparatus may be used for making rods or tubes of silica or quartz, or of any material which can be rendered sufficiently viscous to overflow the weir in a manner similar to that of molten glass.

Title: Improvements in arrangements for the transmission or reception of energy of the order or nature of audio-frequency energy
IPC: H04R23/00
Filed: 1941-11-07
Abstract: 581,125. Plate vibrators. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd., and ROUND, H. J. Nov. 7, 1941, No. 14372. [Class 13] Apparatus for radiating sound or like energy comprises in one form a flat plate, means to excite standing waves in it, and an apertured mask near one surface of the plate, the apertures exposing only those parts which are instantaneously vibrating in the same sense. Fig. 3 shows a strip S in which the standing waves are excited and a mask M with apertures A exposing the portions, indicated by a + sign, which move at any moment in the same sense. A second mask may be used adjacent the other face of the plate, and may be solid or apertured to expose either the same or the other portions of the plate. The masking avoids, interference between the radiations from areas of the plate moving in opposite senses. When two masks are employed, a reflector may be arranged to reflect the radiation from one side in the same direction as, and in phase with, that from the other side. The masks may be placed at a # distance of - or multiples of this distance from 4 the plate. The plate may be rectangular, and excited along one edge, or circular and excited at the' centre, and the correct form of the mask may be obtained from a "sand figure" formed on it. When the velocity Vp of the wave in the plate is greater than the velocity Vm in the surrounding medium, radiation of energy occurs from each face in two directions a, b, Fig. 4, making angles # with the strip s such Vm that Cos # ==--. In this case masks are pre- Vp ferably not used, and the invention consists in the provision of a mirror R which reflects one beam a into the same direction as the other. A mask M suppresses radiation from the underside of the strip. In another illustrated form, the strip is bent at its centre to form two limbs at right angles, so bringing the radiations from the upper face into the same direction, and the two radiations from the lower face are directed into this same direction by two mutuallyperpendicular reflectors. The oscillations may be excited by normal telephone, electrostatic or piezo-electric methods, or by air-blasts. Magneto-strictive methods may also be used, Specification 581,123, [Group XL], beingreferred to in this connection.
