Patent GB-191210451-A (GB)
Title: Improved Method of Controlling Valves of Steam, and Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: FORNACA GUIDO
IPC: F01L1/04
Filed: 1912-05-02
Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 10,451. Fornaca, G. May 2. Cam gears; heat or lift valves; separate admission and exhaust valvcs.-In a steam or internal-combustion engine, a distributing-valve 2 is operated by a cam surface on a cross member 6, 9 forming the upper side of a parallelogram pivoted at 7, 8 and operated through links 5, 6 from a crank or cam on a countershaft 4. In a modification, shown in Fig. 3, duplicate valves 2<1>, 2<2> are operated by two members 9<1>, 9<2> which receive their motion from a common shaft 6 operated by a single eccentric 5. In a second modification, duplicate valves, in a plane at right-angles to the axis of the shaft, are operated by two cam surfaces on a common member. The arrangements shown in Figs. 3 and 7 may be combined, the four distributing-valves being operated by a single crank. Reversal of the engine is effected by rotating the shaft 4.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Stapling Machines.
Inventor: MESSERSMITH OTTO STEPHEN

Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 10,977. Messersmith, O. S., and Kraushaar, A. R. May 8. Stapling.-In a stapling-machine for stapling the angles of angularly-arranged work-pieces 32, Fig. 5, the staples are driven by two segmental drivers mounted on an axis 16 over the apex of an angular work-support 2, Fig. 2. The drivers are mounted on a carrier 14, which moves in guides 13 and is connected through a spring to a head 19 driven from an eccentric on a power shaft. The carrier 14 is moved downwards till it engages the work; the spring then yields, and the drivers are turned about their pivot by abutments on a bar 29 connected to the head 19. The staple is thus bent about and pressed into the work 32. The points of the staple are clinched by members 35 pivoted to a reciprocating slide 38. On the upward movement of the slide, the members 35 are turned on their pivots, to turn in the ends of the staple, by cam-faces on the work-support. The staples are formed from a strip 87 fed by rollers 88, 89 to a guide 113, through which it passes out over an anvil 60. The strip is cut by a knife 116 reciprocated by a lever 117 operated by a dog 120 connected to the feeding- mechanism. The anvil 60 is mounted on a cam-operated lever, and is normally held out of line of the driving-devices by a spring. A cam-surface on the driving-shaft causes the anvil to be moved below the drivers at the commencement of each driving operation. The wire is held on the anvil by a retainer 64, Fig. 9, provided with a bevelled edge 115<b> to permit the wire to be fed, and pressed by a spring 67 down on the upper face of the anvil. On the downward movement of the carriage 14, the ends of the wire are bent over the anvil bv formers 75, which are adapted to be turned about their pivots to wipe the ends of the wire against the inclined sides of the anvil by shoulders 81. The anvil is then swung from below the drivers, the staple being stripped from the anvil by a stripper plate 83; the staple then rests on the upper side of the formers 75 until the work is engaged.

Title: Cross Hung Automatic Sluice Gate.
Inventor: LARSON GUSTAVE
IPC: E02B7/20
Filed: 1913-08-11
Granted: 1914-02-19
Abstract: 18,239. Larson, G. Aug. 11, Sluice gates.-Sluice gates are mounted on pairs of pivoted arms so that the gate turns about an instantaneous centre which varies in position. The gate A, Fig. 1, is supported by the two pivoted arms B C, D E, intersecting at F, which is the instantaneous centre of rotation. There will be a closing moment due to the weight of the gate acting at the point G, while the water pressure tends to close the gate when it is below the level P on the side M, and to open it when it is above the level P. The extension C L of the arm B C prevents the gate from reaching an horizontal position, or a fixed stop L<1> may be used for this purpose. In an alternative form, the end D of the rod E D may rest in a notch, from which it may be withdrawn and the gate lowered into an horizontal position. The gate may be suspended below the fixed points B D, and the two arms may be on opposite sides of the gate. In this case, chains or cables may be used for suspending the gate. If the arm D E, Fig. 1, is made telescopic, the gate may swing about the point C. In order to secure a watertight joint between the edges of two gates, a tightening-strip 3, Fig. 4, carried by a loosely-mounted plate 5, is forced into the joint by water pressure and is forced downwards by mounting the pin 4 in a downwardly sloping slot 6, Fig. 5. The suspending-arms of the gate may be forked at the ends to secure rigidity. In order to prevent undue friction between water and gate, stiffeners are placed parallel to the stream on the upper side, and perpendicular on the lower side. In Fig. 11, a modification is shown in which one of the arms is replaced by a chain attached at e1 and e2, and passing over a pulley D. The instantaneous centre in this case is the intersection of the line B C with the bisector of the angle between the two chains. The arm B C may be substituted by a roller and guide. The sheave D may be substituted by a sprocket, either concentric, eccentric, or cam-shaped, or the chain may be in two parts, secured to levers mounted on a common shaft. The above-described constructions may also be used for non-automatic or mechanically-operated gates.

Abstract: 14,830. Jones, W., and Jones & Attwood. June 20. By aerating ascending column.-The air supply in pneumatic lifts for sewage &c. is automatically varied according to the level of the liquid in the sump. The liquid in the sump 1, Fig. 1, passes down the pipe 3 and rises in the four lift legs 4 in each of which there is an aerating-nozzle 76 arranged as shown in Figs. 14 and 15. A pipe 22, Fig. 10, maintained free from liquid by a slow current of air admitted through a cock 28, connects the first lift leg 4 with a governor 21 which, according to the pressure, takes up one or more of the weights 23 and admits air through the compound valve 25 to one or more of the cylinders 30 controlling the valves 20 in the airsupply pipe 11. A similar arrangement admits a fixed quantity of aerating- air to the three remaining lift legs 4 in turn as the pressure increase, the governor in this case being controlled from the pressure in the down leg. The valve 25 compriscs four slide valves 70, Fig. 12, with pins 74 arranged to be actuated in turn by the levers 69. In a modification, the pressure in the pipe 22 alters the level of water in a tank 52, Fig. 5, containing a float 51 which operates the air-supply valves 50 in turn. If it is necessary for repairs &c. to empty the leg 3, valves 7, 8, Fig. 1, are closed and valves 17, 19 opened, the liquid being forced back into the sump 1. Any of the legs 4 may be emptied by closing the valve 4x, opening the valve 8, and admitting air through the nozzle. After the liquid has been forced out, the valve 8 is closed.
