Patent GB-190215028-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: WEYLAND JOHN ALBERT
Filed: 1902-07-05
Granted: 1903-06-04
Abstract: 15,028. Weyland, J. A. July 5. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-The engine is designed to work with heavy or light oils which are sprayed into the cylinder at the end of the instroke by a burning igniting-charge, the cylinder having been flushed and charged at the end of the out-stroke with air compressed by the pump 2 into a low-pressure reservoir formed in the engine frame. The pump 2 remains empty during its out-stroke. The igniting-charge of carburetted air enters the compressor 31 at the end of the down-stroke of the plunger 32. The carburetter comprises a cup 42 supplied with oil and regulated in capacity by a displacing rod 47. Air entering through the bell 40 rushes into the compressor through the port, and takes up the oil in the cup. The compression of the carburetted air on the upstroke ignites it, and causes it to force open a spring valve 35, Fig. 3, and rush into the cylinder through a perforated nozzle, and carry with it from the cavity 50 the oil to form the combustible charge which had been supplied by a pump 60, the plunger of which is forced down by the pressure in the cylinder against a spring 62. The stroke of the pump may be controlled by the governor 64. The clearance in the compressor is adjusted by a plug 54 to time the ignition. Starting.-During normal working the pump 2 delivers the air charges through a valve 14, Fig. 6, into the reservoir 5, but for the purpose of starting it is made to deliver air into a high-pressure reservoir 7, by preventing the valve 14 from opening. This is effected by opening the valve 25, by putting the lever 27 into the position 68, and allowing air from the reservoir 7 to move the seating 17 of the valve 14, so that the valve comes against the stop 69. To start the engine, air is admitted to the pump 2 by momentarily opening the valve 15 by a further movement of the lever 27.

Abstract: 11,957. Dreyfus, C., Meyenberg, A., and Clayton Aniline Co. June 7. Pneumatic filters; discharging solid matter; heating.-The filter is stated to be suitable for use at high temperatures and pressures, for treating slimy, oily, or greasy matters and acid or alkaline substances and for removing from solid matters such portions as are liquefied by heat. The two parts of the casing A are fastened together at the joint B. A filtering-medium consisting of porous stone or tiles is carried on a grating C supported by struts c<2>. The matters to be treated enter by the inlet A<3> and the filtered liquid leaves through the outlet D, with which a cooling-coil E may be connected. The liquid is forced through the medium by steam, air, or other fluid, admitted by the pipe A', or by the pressure due to the head of matter, or to vapour generated from the matter by heat. A single pipe with two branches may replace the inlets A<2>, A<3>. The filter may be jacketed or heated by an internal coil. When the upper portion of the casing is taken off, the caked solids, through which washing-liquids may have been previously passed, can be easily removed. In a modification, Fig. 3, a grating F is placed above the filtering-division and the solids can be removed on it by means of vertical bars e, attached to the grating and to the top of the casing. The grating may be made in two parts hinged together and supported by cords f, Fig. 5, which can be let down, so as to discharge the solids after they have been removed from the casing. It is stated that the filter may be arranged so that the matters are admitted below the filtering-division and the filtered liquid passes away above it.
