Abstract: 27,573. Southey, A. W. Dec. 1. Spray carburettors.-Air is drawn transversely across a coarse spray of fuel produced by gases under pressure. The fuel is of low flash-point and the heat necessary for its vaporization is supplied by the atmospheric air ; this heating, in conjunction with a baffling-device, prevents drops of liquid from being drawn into the induction pipe. Fuel entering the nozzle H by the aperture H' is sprayed in excess by gas under pressure obtained from one of the engine cylinders. This gas passes a non-return valve L and enters the carburettor at F<1>. The coarse spray of fuel is then traversed by'air entering by the flap valve D. The flow of mixture is controlled by.the throttle C which also controls extra-air ports C<1> and, in addition, acts as a baffle and expansion chamber to cause deposition of drops of fuel, which may return by the passage N.

Abstract: 10,973. Junkers, H. June 12, 1913, [Convention date]. Cylinders, cooling and mounting valve casings in.-To prevent leakage from the water jacket or from the cylinder around the casing of a starting or fuel-injection valve that passes through the cylinder wall and liner, a joint resembling a stuffing-box is employed. Many modifications are described, that shown in Fig. 1 being a typical example. The packing e is compressed around the valve casing c by a gland f which, however, may be integral with the casing. The casing may screw into the cylinder wall b to compress the packing. When a separate gland is used, a flange on the casing may support the packing. The Specification as open to inspection under Section-91 (3) (a) states also that, in order to prevent the packing from being forced into the cylinder, various arrangements of split rings such as k, l, Fig. 6 (Cancelled), are supported on a shoulder g on the liner a, or as shown in Fig. 11 (Cancelled), a flange h on the valve casing either integral or detachable and with a flat or conical face may support the split rings.

Granted: 1915-08-05
Abstract: 15,594. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Meer, Geb.]. June 29. Regulating compression. - Relates to means for controlling the output of compressors and pumps having automatic suction valves, of the kind in which the valves are kept open by the direct action of compressed air or other pressure fluid when the output is too high. According to the invention, the compressed air or other pressure fluid is supplied to and released from the valves during each stroke by means of a device driven from a moving part of the compressor and under the influence of a pressure governor. In the form shown, the suction valves 2 of a compressor are opened by the action of compressed air on the valve pistons 5. the compressed air is supplied to these pistons by way of a ball valve 7 and the pipe 6 from a chamber 21 connected by a pipe 15 with a delivery pipe 22 of the compressor, and released from the piston 5 to the atmosphere by way of the pipe 6, a grooved plunger 8, and ports 20 in the plunger casing. The plunger 8 is raised to allow the ball valve to open, through mechanism comprising a rocking lever 10, a lever 11 pivoted at 18, and an eccentric 12 driven from the crank-shaft 16 of the compressor, and is returned by a spring 9. As long as the output is normal, the plunger is unaffected. When the output is too high, the delivery pressure acting on a spring-controlled piston 13 varies, through suitable levers and links, the position of the pivot 18 of the lever 11. Thereupon, during each stroke, the plunger 8 is raised and lowered to a varied degree, and a corresponding regulation of the compressor by the varied opening of the suction valves 2 is effected. The pivot 18 may also be moved by a hand-wheel 17.

Etching.-The plates to be etched are mounted on inclined rotating tables within acid - proof containers having transparent lids to permit observation; means are also provided for cleaning the plate without removing it from the container, and also means for varying the amount of fluids used. The container 1 carries the plate 3 on a rectangular platen 2 having ridges 21 to take different-sized plates, pierced with draining-holes 23, the platen 2 carried on an axle 14 being rotated by a pulley 26 and strap 28 from a motor 32, and a thrust bearing 20 taking the weight of the platen and plate. The acid 5, supplied as desired from a tank 52, is sprayed upon the plate 3 by a paddle 4, also rotated by a strap 34 from the motor 32, a baffle-plate 44 directing the etching- spray. When the etching has been observed through the transparent covers 46 to be completed, the acid 5 is then run off through a veut 48, and the plate 3 washed with fluid from the tank 52. A ventilator shaft 10 with fan 42 is provided. Fig. 2 shows one modification in which the container 101 is divided into two compartments, one 105 for holding acid, and the other 155 for receiving washing-fluid. The acid 105 is elevated by the paddle 104 into a receptacle 109, which can be tilted by a handle 115 and is in communication with a hole 108 in the partition 107, through which the acid runs, a compressed-air supply 116 spraying it on to the plate 103. A vertical partition 141 separates the two fluids, and a plate 142 tiltable on a pivot 143 by a handle 145 diverts the acid or washing-fluid into either compartment, an apron 61 directing the drainage toward the partition 141. The washing-fluid is supplied from a jet 118. An orifice 106 in the partition 107 permits the return flow of the acid. Drainage vents 148 are provided. In another form, a rotatable sprayer takes the place of the compressed-air supply 116.

According to the invention, the striker is normally restrained from movement by a trigger which is slid out of engagement transversely by means of an incline during the compression of the spring. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the spring striker l h is normally held in place by a transversely sliding trigger o and by a sleeve f and hook s. The hook is depressed by a hydrostatic diaphragm t when a block u dissolves away a given time after the mine is layed. The spring r of the striker is compressed by hydrostatic pressure on a diaphragm e when a ship breaks antennµ at the end of pipes c and water is admitted thereby. The trigger o is then slid transversely by the sleeve f, to release the striker. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the striker h is drawn back to compress its spring r by a pull on a cable B, which first shears a pin D; and the trigger o is then slid transversely by the incline p in the sleeve g to release the striker.
