Abstract: 14,064. Sulzer, H., Sulzer, A., Sulzer, J., Sulzer, C., and Sulzer, E., [trading as Sulzer, Geb.]. Aug. 16, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas and like engines, igniting in. In a slowcombustion engine, ignition is effected by the heat of compression generated in a chamber b. On the up-stroke of the compressing piston c, air from the combustion chamber passes into the auxiliary cylinder b through ports o, and, at the end of the compression stroke of the working piston k, is forced into the combustion chamber a, by the downward movement of the piston c, the heat generated by the extra compression in the cylinder b being sufficient to ignite the charge. The pressures on the piston c are balanced by a port d arranged as shown. If preferred, an explosive mixture, formed with powdered or other fuel, may be admitted to and ignited in the auxiliary cylinder b, the mixture entering by the passage l. The movements of the piston may be effected by compressed air. The engine may be started by compressing a charge in the cylinder and igniting it by compressing air or an explosive charge in the auxiliary cylinder b. Inert gases may be used in the compressing cylinder b and for the formation of the working charge. Combustibles for the explosive mixture are admitted to the cylinder through the ports m.

Title: Arrangements on Electricity Meters for Determining the Maximum Consumption.
Filed: 1907-11-07
Granted: 1908-04-16
Abstract: 24,670. Elektrizitõts Akt.-Ges. vorm. Schuckert & Co. Nov. 20, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Current and energy meters.-In a supply meter in which a maximum-demand attachment is driven from the mechanism of the meter, and is disconnected therefrom at fixed intervals by means of a clock, the clockwork is locked at periods of no load, or when the load falls below a definite amount. In the arrangement shown, a pinion y, driven by the meter z, drives a carrier wheel m, and so moves a pointer l. An asynchronous motor or clock a drives a wheel i at a constant speed, so that a stud k on this wheel engages a lever x at definite intervals, thereby moving the pinion y out of gear with the carrier wheel m, which is then brought to the zero position by a spring o. Fixed to the carrier wheel m is an arm which engages with the arm of a bell-crank lever r pivoted to the wheel i, and as this wheel rotates the longer arm of the lever is forced into contact with a disk s on the clock-train, thereby stopping the clock unless the rotation of the carrier wheel has continued so as to remove the arm from the lever r. The locking and unlocking of the clock-work may also be effected by means of a relay or magnet, which may be excited by the main current so that the clockwork is released at a definite load. The ordinary registering-train may be removed, so that the meter may drive the mechanism of the maximum pointer alone.

Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 631. Newall & Son, R. S., and Skelton, R. T. Jan 10. Rolling.-Three rollers d arranged to compress and flatten the crowns of the strands of the wire rope a are supported in brackets e equidistantly mounted in a frame j. The brackets have spindles g carrying studs h, to which two-armed levers k are pivoted. The short arms m of the levers are connected by a rocking lever n or other means to the frame f and the long arms p carry at their ends rollers q around which a tension cord r is fitted. By means of an adjusting-device s the tension of the cord can be varied. If the tension of any strand is less than the tension of the other strands, it will project slightly above the normal rope surface and will force the corresponding roller d outwards. The arm k transmits this movement in a magnified form to an'adjustable pointer t, which by its increased distance from the rope surface indicates the slackness of the strand. The ends of the spindles g have graduations u to facilitate the setting of the rollers.

Title: Method of and Apparatus for Electrical Separation.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1908-08-06
Granted: 1909-09-06
Abstract: 16,583. Fairweather, W., [Huff Electrostatic Separator Co.]. Aug. 6. Electrostatic separators. - In an electrostatic separator, the mixed comminuted material to be treated is fed from a hopper H, Fig. 1, on to a rotating electrode E which is connected to one terminal of a source of electricity, and as it passes under an adjacent electrode E' fitted with a series of points it receives a charge by connexion therefrom, opposite in sign to that received by contact from the electrode E. The result is that all the particles remain on or return to the surface of the rotary electrode as it travels around. A barrier E' of low conductive material is arranged adjacent to the rotary electrode, and intercepts part of the discharge from the electrode E', so that there is a region characterized by substantially pure static stress. When the mixed particles are carried into this region, the more conductive particles are repelled and pass over a divider D into a receptacle A, the less conductive particles being less strongly repelled and passing into a receptacle B. The non-conductive particles are removed by a brush B' and pass into a receptacle C. In a modified form of apparatus, the barrier E<2> may be connected to the source of electricity, as shown in Fig. 3. The electrodes are supplied with unidirectional current from a dynamo, the circuit being provided with a transformer and a rectifier. A spark-gap may also be arranged in the circuit. A screen M may be arranged to shield the outlet of the hopper from the discharge from the electrode E'.
