Title: Improvements in or appertaining to Wheels for Road Vehicles.
Inventor: CONSTANTINE FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-02-26
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 4298. Constantine, F. W. Feb. 26. Felloes or rims.-The tapered surfaces of the felloe c, Fig. 1, and the detachable rim d are held in engagement by means of transverse bolts f passing through the felloe.

Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 18,621. Bickerton, H. N., Robson, P. W., and National Gas Engine Co. Sept. 4. Gas and like engines, igniting in. A pair of mechanically - actuated sparking - plugs arranged diametrically opposite to one another in the same combustion chamber, are energized by separate magnetos and are connected to a common make- and-break device pivoted with a special timing- mechanism. Fig. 3 shows one of the sparking- plugs comprising a fixed electrode f and a movable electrode d, which is oscillated against the action of a spring by mechanism abutting against the arm r so that the arm c makes and breaks contact with the fixed electrode. Fig. 2 shows the actuating- mechanism comprising a sliding rod n, actuated from the cam shaft and having a hooked end k, which engages the projection b on the right-hand three-armed lever l. A bearing g is eccentrically mounted so that the path of the rod can be varied to cause a corresponding variation in the time of the ignition. The levers l, mounted on the shafts of the magnetos m, are coupled by a rod h and are each provided with arms v connected to restoring- springs s, and with arms t carrying projecting pins p, which abut against the arms r on the plugs. This arrangement of igniter allows either plug to be withdrawn without disturbing any links or mechanism in the actuating-gear and also allows the remaining plug to be inspected when one is withdrawn.

Abstract: 2708. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Johnston, F. G. D. Feb. 4. Drawings to Specification. Rotary valves; arrangement and disposition of valves. - Relates to multi-cylinder singleacting engines such as are described in Specification 11,891/08, in which a rotary valve and its seat are provided with symmetrically-arranged ports, and consists in the arrangement of equally-spaced ports in the valve and seat of an engine having five, eight, eleven, or other greater number of cylinders, such number being expressible as 3n-1. The order of the ports in the seat is determined by starting at the port for cylinder No. 1; then the respective ports for the second, third, &c. cylinders are found by taking each third port in the seat in cyclic order. Thus for an engine having eleven cylinders, the order of the ports is 1, 5, 9; 2, 6, 10; 3, 7, 11; 4, 8, i.e. in sets of three with a common difference of four in each set, which is the number of pressure and exhaust ports required in the valve, and the number of revolutions of the crank to one revolution of the valve.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Metabolism of Seed.
Inventor: KAMMER JOHN VON DER
Filed: 1909-04-05
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 8131. Kammer, J. von der. June 12, 1908, [Convention date]. Germination, assisting.-Seeds are caused to germinate and grow to the seedling stage without soil in an anaerobic atmosphere. The plants may be transferred to the ground or used as human or animal food. The seeds are placed, without being steeped or soaked, which would remove useful bacteria and organic matter, in the apparatus described in Specification 8130/09. Nitrogen or a gas containing compounds of nitrogen and hydrogen is introduced, oxygen being absorbed by an alkaline solution of pyrogallic acid. A culture of bacteria is introduced and the seeds are periodically moistened with a special liquid consisting of a solution of potassium phosphate, calcium carbonate, and ordinary fertilizers containing soluble potassium, phosphoric acid, and nitrogen, neutralized by an extract of wood-ashes. Other compounds containing the elements potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen, and organic carbonaceous matter, may be substituted, preferably with soluble calcium, and compounds derived from the alkaline earths and alkaline metals may be used in addition. When the plants have reached an advanced stage, they may be caused to take up iron, iodine, or other bodies for the treatment of diseases in animals. The bacterial culture is obtained by dissolving potassium phosphate in water, stirring with calcium carbonate, decanting, adding dextrose and a filtered and sterilized extract of germinated seeds, for instance, wheat, corn, and vetches, and inoculating this liquid with an extraction of black pasture or. other suitable soil, or with the bacteria on the market for the inoculation of legumes. The liquid is rendered neutral or slightly alkaline by adding extract of wood-ashes, and is allowed to develop in an air-tight stoneware vessel at about 35‹ C. for about four days until turbid.

Abstract: 7355. Masters. R. March 24. [Cognate Application, 24,406/10.] Charging and discharging. - A discharging- charger for retorts comprises a slotted casing 2 in which is mounted a rod 1 carrying pivoted plates 5 adapted to be forced through the slots in the casing 2 on the forward stroke of the charger, and to be drawn back into the casing on the return stroke. The casing 2 is preferably shaped as shown in cross-section in Fig. 3, and is provided at its front end with the usual pivoted push-plate 31. The plates 5 are pivoted to lugs 7 suitably spaced on the rod 1, or, according to a modification, the rod 1 may be I-shaped in cross-section with the plates pivoted between the flanges. In another modification, Fig. 12, the rod is made in sections 36 connected by dovetail joints and bolts 40, and each section is bent to pass over a roller 41 on the casing 2, and to allow the plates 5 to meet when in their withdrawn position. The charger is operated either by band or mechanically, and in the latter case the arrangements shown diagrammatically in Fig. 7 are adopted. The operating-cables 24 are fixed to a cross-bar 23 on the rod 1, and the arrangement is such that, when moving in either direction, the rod 1 first brings the plates 5 into operative or inoperative position as the case may be, the rod 1 and casing 2 being afterwards moved together by stops 14, 15, and 25 fixed on the rod and working in slots 26 re-pectively. In a modification, the cables are attached to the casing 2, and fixed stops. are provided to operate the rod 1 at the end of each stroke of the charger, so that the plates 5 are brought into position for the next stroke. For large retorts, two chargers side by side may be used, but in this case the arms 5 are preferably provided on one side only of the rod 1. In some cases a third set of arms operating in a vertical plane may be provided. Fig. 16 illustrates in elevation a suitable travelling carriage for a discharging charger of the type described. The carriage is mounted on wheels 49, and comprises a framework 48 from which a trough 16 for the charger is suspended by cables 44, 47 passing over pulleys 50, 55. The cables are connected to drums which may be operated in either direction to raise or lower the trough and charger from a motor 58 through the belt drive 60, clutch mechanism 67, 68, and bevel-gearing 64, 65, 66. The carriage is traversed along the bench of retorts by driving one of the wheels 49 through suitable bevel-gearing operated from the shaft 61 through gearing 69, 70, and clutch mechanism is provided so that the carriage can be moved as desired in either direction. The cables for operating the charging-bar &c. are connected to drums 85 mounted on the top of the trough and operated from the shaft 71 through a clutch and suitable bevel-gearing. The coal is fed into the trough 16. from the hopper 19 through a telescopic shoot 18.

Folding and collapsible furniture; wardrobes; washstands.- Furniture such as wardrobes, bedsteads, washstands, tables, or chairs, is constructed of a flexible composite material made up, as shown in Fig. 1, of a series of laths secured side by side upon a suitable flexible backing such as canvas. The material is cut-out to the form of the intended article of furniture, and is maintained in shape by suitable stays such as 6. These stays are pivoted to the laths, and, in order to convert temporarily any portion of the flexible material into a rigid framework, the stays are turned at right-angles to the laths. Doors are made by making cuts, such as 5, in the material. The shelves of wardrobes, washstands, &c., the seats and backs of chairs, and the tops of tables are also constructed in this way.
