Abstract: 8399. Sickles, F. W., Millea, T. D., and Carroll, M. J. April 7. Spray carburettors.-The mixture, fuel, and supplementary air valves are actuated simultaneously. The fuel valve, which is adjusted to give a minimum flow for slow running, may not be actuated until the mixture and air valves have moved some distance. A U-shaped pipe 1, Fig. 5, surmounts a float-chamber 49 and contains a cylindrical supplementary-air valve 5 and a disk throttle 8. The spindle 9 of the valve 8 and rod 6 of the valve 5 are interconnected so as to be actuated together. In the bend of the upper surface of the tube 1 is an opening 32, Fig. 4, through which passes a fixed sleeve 31 containing a movable sleeve 34 provided with a spring-pressed nut 35 and a head 36 which carries the screw-threaded fuel valve 21. The head 36 is grooved to receive a cam-shaped rod 42 forming part of a fuel-valve lifter 41 adapted to be actuated by a cam 19 fixed to a spindle 15 to which the valves 5, 8 are connected by links 23, 22 respectively. With this arrangement the air valves 5, 8 and fuel valve 21 are actuated simultaneously by moving the lever 16, Fig. 4, but the piece 19 may be so adjusted that the fuel valve begins to move at any predetermined instant after the movement of the other valves. Springs 44, 45 tend to return the fuel valve. The nozzle 57 in a constricted passage 56 is fed from the chamber 50 with valve 65 actuated by an annular float 73. Stops, one of which may be adjustable, limit the motion of two arms 11 at right-angles on the spindle 9 of the valve 8. They may be set to prevent the valve from completely closing.

Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 11,689. Otto, E. C. F., and Gimblette, J. A. May 11. [Cognate Application, 18,266/10.] No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Two - strokecycle engines; driving - gear. - One of a pair of hydraulic connecting - rods for transmitting motion to the crank-shaft of an engine having two pairs of cylinders with pumps in line and common combustion chambers is shown in Fig. 2. The connecting- rods are located one at each side of the engine, being connected at their upper ends to cranks 7<a>, carried by a rocking-shaft 7, and at their centres to the crank-pins 13 of the main shaft 8. A connecting-rod sleeve 9 is free to slide over a central tubular portion 12 which embraces a crankpin 13 and carries lift valves 17 actuated by a cam 21 on the crank-pin. A suitable fluid is retained in the sleeve 9 and the central portion 12, which fluid is free to pass from one chamber to another through the controlling-valves. In addition to being actuated mechanically, the valves also open automatically by an excess pressure on their undersides. With crankthrows of equal lengths and the cranks moving upwards; Fig. 2, the lower valve remains closed with the fluid retained in the chamber 10. Similarly, during the downward movements, fluid is confined in the upper chamber 10, the valve 17 of which is held to its seat while the lower valve is opened by the cam. To facilitate passing the dead-centres, both valves may open together as the main cranks pass these points. The cranks on the main shaft may be arranged at 90 or 180 degrees apart, and those on the rocking-shaft at 180 degrees. Leakage of fluid from the connecting-rods is made up by additional fluid admitted through a valve 10<a>.

Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 12,118. Meiler, J. May 17. Governors, applications of; controlling independently of drivers.-Means are provided for controlling a motor-car independently of the driver after a certain speed has been exceeded. The ignition circuit 10 is arranged in parallel with a second circuit, which is normally broken at two points 4, 6. When the speed exceeds a certain limit and a centrifugal governor 1 closes the switch 4, the switch 6, which is under the control of the passenger, may be closed to complete the second circuit, thus energizing a solenoid 7, which breaks the ignition circuit. Instead of the ignition circuit being operated upon, the fuel supply may be cut off, or a brake may be applied by the solenoid 7. In the case of an electrically-propelled vehicle, the solenoid 7 acts upon the main circuit. In a modification, a mechanical device for operating the brake independently of the driver, in the case of excessive speed, is described.

Abstract: 14,013. Roelofsen, J. A. June 9. Ammonia; ammonium salts. -In a method of recovery of ammonia from the gases of dry distillation or carbonization of carbonaceous materials, the gases . are passed through coolers a, b, which separate out tarry matters and condense the watery vapours containing most of the combined ammoniacal products and free ammonia, and are then passed through a tar-extractor c to one compartment n of a saturator f. The ammoniacal condensate from the tank c is distilled in the apparatus i and the vapours of distillation are introduced into the compartment o, the noxious distillation gases being led off by the pipe m, separately from the gases of carbonisation, which pass away by the pipe g. The saturator is divided by a partition f<1> separating the space above the acid into two parts and allowing free comniunication between the acid solutions in the two compartments. Hot air, products of combustion, or other hot neutral gases are blown into the still i containing the ammoniacal liquor mixed if necessary with lime, by the blower k and the mixture of gases and steam from the still is superheated in the vessel l before being conducted into the saturator, to prevent condensation of water therein.
