Granted: 1913-07-01
Abstract: 15,292. Aitken, W. July 1. Ratchet gearing.-In a telephone selector, a ratchet-wheel 70 is stepped round by a pawl 83 actuated by an electro-magnet 73. In order to ensure a complete stroke of the armature 74, a latch plate 75 is provided. This plate is guided by a pin 76 fitting in a slot in the plate, and a pin 77 on the end of the plate working in a fixed slot. When the armature 74 is attracted, the pin 80 on it moves in a notch in the plate until near the end of the stroke, when it strikes against the end of the plate, thus moving it and causing a spring 78 to rise on to the insulation 79 and open the contact 78, 81 in the driving-circuit. The pawl 83 is controlled by a spring 84. When the pin 154 closes the contact 94, 95, the magnet 85 is energized and withdraws the holding-pawl 86 so that the wheel 70 rotates back until the pin 154 opens the contacts 92, 93. A modified form of control for the ratchet-wheel is shown in Fig. 12. The U-shaped piece of metal 160 is pivoted at 161 and is adapted to be rocked by the roller 162, which corresponds to the arm 154 in Fig. 10. The holding-pawl 163, 164 is mounted on the arm 160, and when the roller 162 raises the upper arm of the U-piece the pawl 164 releases the ratchet-wheel. When the arm 162 strikes the lower arm 165, the pawl 163 is again brought into engagement with the ratchetwheel. To give definiteness to the two positions of the apparatus, a pin on the arm 165 is adapted to engage with two holes 168, 169 in a spring 167.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Carburettors for Internal Combustion Engines using Heavy Hydrocarbons.
Inventor: FELSOEBUEKI AUREL BUEKY DE
IPC: F02M19/03
Filed: 1913-02-22
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 4585. Fels÷b¹ki, A. B. de, and Berger, F. Feb. 22. Spray carburettors.-Heavy fuel is atomized by a small quantity of air, several currents of the mixture being caused to impinge upon one another in front of the main air inlet, which is subsequently opened, the atomized fuel being then carried away by the main air current. Air currents may also be directed against each mixture current to produce a further atomization. In the carburettor shown, the mixing-chamber 3 is of double conical shape, having air-passages 5 and fuel-nozzles 6. 7 at its reduced ends. The main air inlet, which is controlled by a valve 4 actuated by a cam driven by the engine, is arranged opposite to the outlet 2. At the commencement of the suction, air drawn in at a high velocity through the openings 5 passes over the nozzles 6, 7 and the two mixture currents thus formed meet above the air inlet. The valve 4 then opens, and the suspended fuel is carried away to the engine by the main air current. The nozzle 7 is fed from a chamber 11, which is supplied from the float chamber through a small orifice 10. On increase of engine speed, the fuel level in the chamber 11 falls below that in the float chamber, and the supply to the nozzle 7 therefore diminishes. The carburettor may be mounted on the engine so that the valve 4 may be actuated from the main cam shaft. In another form, only one jet 6 is used, an air current from the opposite orifice 5 impinging on the mixture current. Or, a number of opposed mixture and air currents may be used. The main air valve is suction-actuated and controlled by a spring and dash-pot,
