Title: Rotary Internal Combustion Engine.
Inventor: STRAUSSLER NICHOLAS
IPC: F01C1/356
Filed: 1911-01-21
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 1622. Straussler, N. Jan. 21. Working-fluid supply; cooling parts; packing drums, vanes, and abutments; plant; movableabutment type of rotary internal - combustion engine having cam-operated outwardly-sliding abutments and a rotor fitted with valve-connected working and compression chambers. One or more packed abutments D' are made to bear against the rotor R by rods 24 carrying rollers 26 actuated by rotary cams 27. As the rotor rotates, air, admitted at the port 11, is trapped at the part B<1> between the abutment D<1> and the valve 133. The pressure forces this valve open, and the charge of air is compressed into the chamber 143. When the chamber 14, reaches the position 141 a fixed cam opens a spring-controlled valve 163, and the compressed air fills the chamber A', where it is mixed with gaseous fuel and ignited. The same action takes place with the compression chambers 141, 142, the gases finally exhausting through a port 12 provided with a hinged shutter D<2>. Gaseous fuel or sprayed liquid fuel may be mixed with the indrawn air at the inlet port 11. The abutment carries a shoe 20 fitted with packing 32, and the rotor is provided with packing 31, 29. According to the Provisional Specification, a device for spraying the fuel into the combustion chamber A<1> may be actuated by the cam that operates the abutment; also the engine may be made reversible by providing similar working parts inside the rotor; and for generating electricity the dynamo may be secured to the shaft inside the rotor and cooled by sloping the bottoms of the chambers 141, 142, 143 to act as a fan.

Abstract: 1975. Spencer, J. Jan. 26. Shuttles.-The weft is drawn by hand into a slot 6, Fig. 1, so that it rests upon an extension of the lower prong of the forked end of a thread-carrier 9, which is then turned by the finger, against the action of a'spring 8, so that a loop of weft is carried through the eye 4. A part 12 projects above the curved surface 10, thus ensuring entry of the weft into the slot 6 when it is drawn across the surface 10. The pin 7 and the coiled spring 8 may be arranged vertically instead of horizontally. Fig. 7 shows a modification, in which the thread-carrier 9 and the spring 8 are formed in one piece. In an arrangement described in the Provisional Specification, the thread-carrier has two loops engaging inclined guides in the shuttle, and is pressed by the finger, against the action of a spring, so that it slides down the guides and protrudes from the shuttle eye.

Abstract: 7896. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Allgemeine Elelctricitõts Ges.]. March 29. Electro-magnetic actuation; retarding-devices. -In a switch of the kind in which the movable element of an electro-magnetic driving-system, when energized, first causes the running-down of a clock train and then after a predetermined time causes a switch to open or close, the connexion between the movable part of the electromagnetic driving-element and the clock train is broken by means of an adjustable raised surface 13, which is adapted to raise a catch 7 out of engagement with one of the wheels 9 of the clock train. The catch 7 is carried by a lever 5 connected to the core 1 of the solenoid 2 and normally rests on a surface 8. When the solenoid is energized, the catch is moved into engagement with the wheel 9 and drives the clock train until it is disengaged therefrom by the cam surface 13; the switch block 14 is then moved on to the contacts 15. When current ceases to flow through the solenoid, the lever 5 returns to its original position under the action of a spring 16. The escapement wheel 11 of the clock train is started from rest by means of a spring 17 carried by the lever 5. In a modification, a dynamometric driving-system, comprising a fixed and a movable coil, is employed.

Abstract: 1853. Ferret, G. L. A. Feb. 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Variable-speed and reversing epicyclic gearing comprising planetary bevel - gears K, J jointed together in pairs and meshing with loose bevelwheels D', I' and E', H<1>, respectively, the whole being controlled by electro-magnetic clutches and brakes so as to yield one reverse and four forward speeds. The pairs of gears K, J are mounted on ball bearings on a shaft B, which crosses at right-angles to a driven shaft A. A driving-shaft A' in line with the shaft A carries a fly-wheel F provided with electromagnetic clutches D, E. The clutches D, E, when energized, connect the wheel F to the wheels D', E' respectively. Electromagnetic brakes G, H, I are adapted to hold against rotation respectively, the gears E H', I<1>. The first or lowest speed is obtained by clutching the wheel D<1> to the wheel F and anchoring the wheel H<1>. The second speed results when the wheel E' is clutched to the wheel F and the wheel H<1> is anchored. For the third speed the wheel E<1> is clutched to the wheel F and wheel I' is anchored. The fourth speed is a solid drive obtained by clutching both the wheels D', E<1> to the wheel F. Reversed driving is obtained by driving the wheel D' and anchoring the wheel E'. When the invention is used as the driving-gear of a motor-car, the vehicle can be braked by applying the brakes H, I simultaneously.

Granted: 1913-09-16
Abstract: 21,060. Watrigant FrÞres et Cie. Sept. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Glucose and like carbohydrates.-In extracting glycerine from vinasses the vinasses is desiccated and is washed with hot amyl alcohol, the substances capable of dissolving in hot amyl alcohol with the glycerine having been previously removed, as by washing the residue resulting from desiccation by means of suitable solvents. In the case of vinasses derived from molasses, potassium melate and betaine are the principal substances to be eliminated. They may be removed successively by the use of acetone and ethyl acetate, or together by means of cold amyl alcohol saturated with glycerine, or by means of ethyl acetate. Before desiccation is effected the vinasses is treated with tannin to precipitate nitrogenous substances, and then is successively treated with ferric hydrate or chloride and rendered alkaline with lime, the excess of which is removed by carbonic acid or sodium carbonate, to precipitate succinic and other organic acids. When ethyl acetate is used, various glucoses and raffinose are also dissolved and may be separated from the betaine by fractional crystallization. Specifications 12,736/10, [Class 32, Distilling &c.] and 12,737/11, [Class 1 (iii), Oxides, &c. Metallic] are referred to.
