Title: Improvements in Clutches for Conveying Rotary Motion.
Inventor: GREEN WILLIAM
IPC: F16D23/04
Filed: 1912-08-22
Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 19,222. Green, W. Aug. 22. Clutches, claw, friction, and ratchet. - Relates to combined friction and claw or ratchet clutches for use on motor-bicycles &c. The friction cone 1 or plates or a disk for operating band clutches is slidably mounted on a sleeve 2, which itself slides on the shaft 4 and c a r r i e s teeth a d a p t e d to engage teeth 8 on the cone or other part 3. A bellcrank operating-lever 9 bears through springs on the cone 1, and carries an adjustable pin 10 engaging a hole in a second lever 6 which actuates the sleeve 2. When the lever 9 is depressed, the friction clutch is first engaged and then further movement operates the lever 6 and engages the claw clutch. A bell-crank lever 11 engages a hole in the lever 6, so that when the lever 9 is released, the friction clutch is disengaged by internal springs, but the claw clutch is locked by the lever 11. The claw teeth may have inclined faces to allow overrunning, a spring 6<b> being provided to allow of this. The lever 11 is disengaged by depression of a pin 11<a>, so that the claw or ratchet clutch is disengaged by a spring 6<a>.

Abstract: 4087. Philbrow, W. E. Feb. 17. Single-acting piston pumps; regulating delivery.- In internal-combustion engines using heavy liquid fuel, a charge of water is injected into the cylinder through the fuel nozzle immediately after the fuel. Both liquids may be injected by a single pump B, the plunger of which has an extension k which holds open the delivery valve during part of the suction stroke, the water in the delivery column being thereby drawn back into the pump and inducing a flow of fuel from the reservoir past a non-return valve into the injector. After the delivery valve has [closed, water is drawn into the pump through the valve n, the quantity depending upon the loading of this valve by a spring, the compression of which is controlled by hand or governor through the spindle p. The same effect may be produced by an adjustable by-pass round the delivery valve.

Filed: 1914-04-15
Granted: 1915-07-15
Abstract: 9344. Haber, F., and Leiser, R. May 5, 1913, [Convention date]. Gas analysis.-Apparatus for detecting variations in composition of gases comprises two organ pipes of the closed lateral type which are blown by the same gas current, one of the pipes being provided with a membrane and enclosing a volume of a standard gas, and the other pipe being provided with a membrane or not, and containing the gas to be tested. The variations in composition in the gas are determined by the 'beats' when the pipes are sounded together. In a suitable apparatus, the pipes h are formed in a casting c, and shut off from the blowing lips d by membranes e. The pipe containing the standard gas, in the present construction, purified air, communicates with the surrounding atmosphere through a coiled capillary tube r which, while preventing diffusion, serves to maintain atmospheric pressure in the pipe notwithstanding changes in temperature and pressure. The other pipe is connected to the external atmosphere through a passage k containing filtering and purifying materials to remove gases which might vitiate the result, and a current of gas is induced in this pipe by the actuation of the pump cylinder v, which supplies the blowing-current of air to the pipes, d. This pump takes the form of a sleeve surrounding the casting and is connected to a piston x working in a small cylinder y, in which, when the sleeve is withdrawn, a vacuum is produced so as to effect the return of the sleeve when this is released.
