Filed: 1904-01-14
Granted: 1905-02-14
Abstract: 999. Smith, F. H. Jan. 14. Gas or explosivevapour engines, carburetting in. The mixing-chamber 12, heated by exhaust gases passing through the jacket w, is supplied with petrol by the suction - operated pump in the centre of the float d. During the suction stroke, air, drawn in through the port or ports x, passes through and raises the perforated disc o, fixed to the end p of the hollow plunger n. On the up-stroke of the plunger the petrol, which has entered the annular cbamb e r t previously through the ports s, is forced into the interior of the plunger and enters the mixing- chamber through the small ports in the valvechamber y, after passing the ball valve r. The downward movement of the plunger is effected by its own weight or by a spring (not shown). A suitably-operated cam z regulates the stroke of the plunger. When starting, provision is made to operate the plunger by hand. Fuel is admitted to the float chamber when the float raises the needle valve by bearing on the levers e. Auxiliary air ports 4 are provided in the carburetter and controlled by the suction-operated valve 5, or, if preferred, a circular sleeve surrounding the port or ports may be used. A modification is described in which a single float chamber supplies a pair of carburetters mounted side by side, having their pumps arranged on opposite sides of the float. The application of a single float chamber to each pair of carburetting- chambers may be duplicated or extended as desired. The Provisional Specification states that the cam or cams z may be controlled by the device described in Specification No. 27,739, A.D. 1903, or that the cam may be dispensed with and the governing- device mounted in the feed chamber.

Abstract: 10,064. Ivel Agricultural Motors, Ltd., and Albone, D. May 2. Lubricators.-Relates to a device for supplying lubricant to a closed chamber under pressure, such as the crank-case of an explosion engine. As the crank shaft revolves, the eccentric l, Fig. 1, keyed on the half-speed shaft m outside the casing a rotates the ratchet disc g through the eccentric rod k and pivoted pawl i. This disc reciprocates the plunger e in the cylinder b, which draws oil from a supply tank through the opening c of the pipe d and discharges it through the orifices of the outlet pipe n inside the casing a. The inlet pipe c and the lower and upper part of the outlet pipe p are provided with ball valves s, t, and u respectively. The delivery of the pump may be tested by a cock v fitted below the ball valve u, which is prevented from responding to the suction action of the crank-case by a spring In a modification, two pumps are provided, each having its own outlet pipe n. Instead of spraying the oil on to the crank shaft, they discharge it into the eccentric-casings q, Fig. 3, from which it flows under the action of centrifugal force through the passages r which open on to the surfaces of the crank-pins. The throw of the pump plunger cm be adjusted by altering the throw of the ratchet crank disc g.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Linotype Machines.
Inventor: MAYER JACQUES
Filed: 1904-09-10
Granted: 1904-10-20
Abstract: 19,589. Mayer, J., and Albrecht, C. Sept. 10. Linotype machines. - The distributing mechanism of linotype machines is so constructed as to enable several different founts of matrices to be employed. The matrices to be assorted are contained in a box t, shown in plan in Fig. 6, to which is connected a chamber l having curved sides on which are formed ribs m, m' of dovetail section. The matrices are formed with a dovetailed recess a, on either the right or left side, and with a rectangular groove on the other side. The recesses a are engaged by one of the ribs m, m<1>, and the matrices are delivered to one of two distributers o, o'. Beneath the feedscrews n, n', Fig. 12, are fixed two guide-plates p,p<1> having notches q in their edges. The serrations of the distributers o, o' extend over one or more notches and a part of the plate adjacent thereto, as shown in Fig. 9. Beneath each distributer is a set of channels, alternate channels being bent so as to conduct the matrices to two superposed magazines. The matrices are fed forward from the box t by a reciprocating feeder, and are lifted one by one into the chamber l by an elevator. The feeder and elevator may be actuated by cam-grooves in the screw spindles which feed the matrices along the distributers. The matrices of one fount have recesses b in one of the lugs f and these, when released by the distributer, fall at once into the channel 1 beneath. The other matrices are stopped by the plate p which engages one of the lugs f, and do not fall until they reach a notch q, when they enter the next channel 2. To enable two more founts to be used, a plate p<4>, having two arms with notched edges, is employed. The matrices of these two founts have recesses in both the upper lugs f. Another fount can be employed by omitting from the matrices of this fount a recess u which is formed in all the others. These matrices are lifted by a rib y, Fig. 14, and delivered to a distributer 5. The other matrices, by reason of the recess u, are not raised, but travel along and fall down a channel s, from which they are fed to a box t by a starwheel 4. By placing notched guide-plates under the distributer 5, more founts can be used. By forming the matrices with two characters of different founts on their two sides, double the number of founts is obtained. Reference is made to Specifications Nos. 17,753 and 18,063, A.D. 1902.

Inventor: WILLIAMS SILAS
Filed: 1904-10-08
Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 21,601. Williams, S. Oct. 8. Collectors.-Relates to metal, wooden, or other sheaves and pulleys, such as the trolley pulleys used in electric traction, and consists in constructing them so that the cable, rope or wire working in the same is always confined to the central portion of the pulley groove, the groove being thus gradually worn down to a uniform depth and width. In one form of the invention, an ordinary sheave or pulley is used, in which are cut two slots in parallel planes at right-angles to the axis of the sheave, as shown in the sectional view, Fig. 4. The width of the central portion between the slots is made equal to the diameter of the wire &c. against which it is intended to work. In the case of metal sheaves, the grooves may be formed during the casting or moulding of the sheaves. Fig. 5 shows a modification, in which the sides or flanges of the pulley are formed separately and screwed on to the centre boss, small set-screws E preventing them from working loose. The small shoulder D determines the space maintained between the centre part and the flanges. The different portions of the pulley may be formed of different metals or other substances. In certain cases, such as for sheaves used for collecting electricity, the spices or slots are filled with some soft yielding material such as asbestos or plaster of Paris, in order to prevent access of foreign substances.
