Patent GB-190611403-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Carburettors for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: SPYKER JACOBUS
Filed: 1906-05-15
Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 11,403. Spyker, J. May 15. Carbureting.-A surface carburettor is described in which the actual contact surface between air and fuel is regulated according to the engine speed, A cylinder 1 rotates in a chamber 3 to which fuel is supplied from a float-feed reservoir 4. The fuel level is preferably kept just below the centre of the spindle 2. A portion of the cylinder projects into the oil-inlet passage 5, and a hinged valve 6 directs the air on to the cylinder, its position being regulated by the suction. The movement of the valve 6 is controlled by a brake in the form of a helical spring fitted to the end of the valve spindle 7. The cylinder 1 is driven by the motor, preferably in an opposite direction to that of the air, and therefore an increase of speed of the latter means more revolutions of the cylinder, and consequently a larger surface of fuel exposed to the air. By this means, the composition of the fuel is kept constant at all speeds.

Title: Improvements in connection with Electrical Machines having Fly-wheels.
Filed: 1906-08-02
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 17,459. Felten & Guilleaume - Lahmeyerwerke Akt.-Ges. Nov. 21, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Distributing; regulating. - In dynamo-electric fly-wheel machines, particularly motor-generators supplying current to motors for operating hauling and hoisting apparatus, the loss of energy due to the weight of the fly-wheel is considerably reduced, when operating at "no load," by running the motor of the motor-generator at a low speed, the motor being so constructed that it can be run at speeds varying greatly from one another. The speed of the motor is varied by altering the number of poles by means of the switch S, the motor being run at the low speed when the load on the generator M is light. The invention is applicable to buffer machines and the like.

Title: Improvements in Steam Heating for Railway Cars.
Inventor: HILLISCH ALEXANDER
Filed: 1906-08-10
Granted: 1907-02-07
Abstract: 18,002. Hillisch, A. Aug. 10. Steam separators. -In a system for heating trains by steam, the main pipes H, Fig. 2, carrying steam from the locomotive slope downwardly to the separator B, from which the steam passes through a pipe b, regulating- valve V. and main N to distributing- valves S. These feed the heaters Z through pipes x, the steam returning through pipes y, z to a sloping condensation-water pipe K terminating in a trap T and separator A. Fig. 15 shows the trap and separator at the end of the pipe K, consisting of a number of chambers a', a<2>, a<3> closed by a valve E normally held open by a spring. The slightly conical casing e has peripheral grooves. For low pressures, as at starting, the condensation water flows out freely, but an increased pressure in the pipe closes the valve and directs the exhaust through the tube j, throttle d, and grooves round the valve, so that the steam is practically all condensed before exit. This allows a constant circulation of steam through the system and obviates the use of a closing-cock at the end of the train. The separator B for the main pipe H is shown in Fig. 4. The branch pipe b leading to the regulating-valve V, Fig. 2, may be short, or, as shown in dotted lines, it may extend below the strainer i, in which case the condensation water is forced through the system and escapes subsequently at the trap A.

Title: Improved Manufacture of Sodium Alum, Potassium Alum, or Ammonium Alum Free from Iron and in Small Crystals.
Inventor: STROHBACH ERICH
Filed: 1906-12-14
Granted: 1907-10-03
Abstract: 28,581. Strohbach, E. Dec. 14. Sodium, potassium, or ammonium alum is formed by treating a solution of aluminium sulphate, which may contain iron and is preferably acidified with sulphuric acid, with excess of the alkali sulphate at 25-50‹ C. The alum meal is separated by centrifugal action and dried below 50‹ C. Sodium bisulphate may replace sodium sulphate if the aluminium sulphate solution is concentrated. Instead of an alkali sulphate, an alkali double sulphate may be used. Sodium alum may also be obtained by adding aluminium sulphate solution to a strong solution of sodium sulphate acidulated with sulphuric acid, the alkali salt being kept in excess. In making potassium or ammonium alum, the aluminium sulphate may be in excess. The sodium alum may be further purified by dissolving in water and concentrating, then rapidly cooling, adding crystals of sodium alum, and agitating, small crystals being produced.

Granted: 1907-10-17
Abstract: 11,173. Flint, E. May 13. Pneumatic dispatch apparatus.-When the door of the transit tube is opened for the insertion of a carrier, the admitted atmospheric pressure makes a valve drop from a branch tube so as to continue the atmospheric connexion when the door is closed ; as the carrier proceeds, the valve is automatically closed. The door of the transit tube A is a disk B on an arm C and is opened by means of a lever D with a link D<1>. The branch tube E having a telescopic extension E<4> downwards, the valve for closing it is a disk I adjustable on a square rod H which slides through a spider G<1> at the mouth. An internal spider E<3> with a hub E<7> forms the bearing for a free sleeve J, which guides a screw 3 jointed to the valve-rod and carries by pivots a pair of jaws M for engaging it. The current of atmospheric air which drives the carrier turns a screw propeller L<1> which is also upon the sleeve and lifts it against the tails M' of the jaws, so that these revolve as a nut, thus drawing in the screw till the disk is hard against the mouth of the tube.

Title: A Process for Treating the Surface of Aluminium, and Articles made therefrom.
Inventor: LANG ALBERT
Filed: 1907-06-19
Granted: 1908-06-19
Abstract: 14,194. Lang, A. June 19. Ornamenting metal surfaces.-An oxidized and coloured coating or layer is formed upon aluminium either before or after manufacture into articles. The oxidized layer may be produced by forming an amalgam on the surface, and then removing the amalgam and exposing the surface, the oxidation being stopped by stoving or firing. Or the aluminium may be dipped in a solution of alkali, hydrochloric acid, or metallic chloride, and subsequently brought to a red heat. Chromic or other easily reducible compounds may be applied to the surface during oxidation to obtain a coloured deposit. The oxidized layer produced when certain metallic chlorides are employed is already coloured. In some cases the coloured coating may be produced by using two chemicals, one of which, such as anilin, is oxidized by the other, such as chromic acid. A coating of enamel may be applied to fix the oxidized or oxidized and coloured coating ; or the coating may be fixed by firing.

Abstract: 12,958. Schneider, E. June 17. Loading-appliances.- Relates to ramming-apparatus and consists in providing automatic means, actuated by tappets on an endless chain, for bringing the rammer into the operativeposition and also for placing the elements of charge upon the loading-plate prior to ramming. Fig. 2 is a plan of the ramming- mechanism in its initial position. Fig. 10 shows an elevation of the rammer in its extreme forward position. Fig. 11 is a cross-section on the line B-B of Fig. 2 and shows the automatic means for transferring the powder charges to the loading- plate. Figs. 16 and 17 are views of the rammer in the inoperative position. The cradle 8 which forms a guide for a loading-plate 6 carries an endless chain 5 which passes over pinions 1, 2, 3 and is actuated by a pinion 4, the shaft m of which may be operated by hand or power. A tappet b carried by the chain 5 first moves a tappet a pivoted to the plate 6, and carries the plate forward until it is locked by the engagement of a catch d thereon with a recess t in a bar 15 carried by the cradle, at which time the tappet a engages with an incline e and passes out of the path of the tappet b. A roller c on the chain 5 then moves the projectile p and charge q forward until the roller c passes over the pinion 2, when a roller g comes into position for moving the next elements of charge forward which have in the meantime been rolled on to the plate 6, from an auxiliuy cradle 21, by the engagement of a tappet 13 on the chain 5 with a spring-bolt 11 which serves to rock a spring-controlled arm 12. The rammer 7, hinged at w to the cradle 8, is held in the inoperative position by the pivoted lever 18, Fig. 17, but is brought into the operative position by the engagement of a tappet 26 on the chain with the projection y, Fig. 16. The projection h on the chain then operates upon a projection i, Fig. 10, on the rammer, carrying the latter forward until the projection h passes over the pinion 2, when the rammer returns under the action of a spring 28. The plate 6 also returns owing to the engagement of a tappet j on the rammer with the catch d, but when the catch d passes into a recess s in the bar 15 the rammer moves alone and passes back into the inoperative position as the tappet j rides up an inclined surface k.
