Patent GB-190701933-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Valve Device for Rock Drills, Engines, and other Analogous Apparatus.
Inventor: RAYNER GEORGE HENRY
Filed: 1907-01-25
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 1933. Rayner, G. H., and Walton, C. Jan. 25. Rock drills.-Rock drills, direct-acting engines, and other apparatus in which a piston is reciprocated by air or steam pressure are provided with a valve arrangement for. use with any type of valve, whether mechanically - operated or thrown by motive fluid, whereby a definite quantity of motive fluid is measured for each stroke before being allowed to enter the cylinder and drive the piston by expansive force. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the valve-chest a is divided into two chambers b, c of predetermined capacity, having ports e, f, alternately connecting the chambers by a preferably semi-cylindrical valve i with the cylinder ports l, m or with either of the connected supply ports g. In the position shown, the right-hand port g is connected to the chamber c and the air in the chamber b is connected to the front of the cylinder to drive the piston to the right. When the exhaust port k is uncovered, fluid is exhausted from the front of the valve through a port n and the valve is driven out. The chamber c is then closed and the chamber b is opened to supply, the chamber c being connected by the port f to the rear of the piston, which is returned. Passages p, r may be formed on the valve to communicate with inlets g, and chambers b, c to compensate for leakage &c. and to serve as starting passages. These passages may be always open to the inlets and chambers.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Increasing the Energy of Stored Compressed Air.
Filed: 1907-03-13
Granted: 1908-04-13
Abstract: 6081. Armstrong, Whitworth, & Co., Sir W. G., and Sodeau, W. H. March 13. Oil supply.-Relates to heating- apparatus as used in compressed-air plant, torpedoes, &c. for heating the air before it passes to a motor, in which the energy of the air is increased by burning therein liquid fuel. The fuel is supplied to the air proportionately to the kinetic energy of the air passing a given section of the pipe leading the air to the engine. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, a closed fuel tank a is connected to the combustion chamber by a pipe e and to a nozzle c pointing into an open cone piece d. In another arrangement, a Pitot tube h, which faces the current of air passing into the combustion chamber, is employed instead of the injector cone d. To increase the pressure on the fuel, a resistance may be placed between the Pitot tube h and the combustion chamber, or a reverse Pitot tube may spray the fuel into the chamber. In other arrangements, means, such as a cone m, aid the spraying of the fuel. In addition to the fuel chamber, a second chamber n, containing water, a solution of ammonia, salts, &c., may be connected to a Pitot tube and to the combustion chamber so as to mix water vapour &c. with the air or products of combustion. The supply pipe g from the reservoir n may be continued in the combustion chamber as a coil terminating in a spray nozzle so that the water &c. is heated before being sprayed.

Title: Improvements in Carburettors for Explosion Engines.
Inventor: JOURDANET ANTOINE
Filed: 1907-06-05
Granted: 1908-01-23
Abstract: 13,060. Jourdanet, A., Billet, P., and Baron, F. July 2, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Carburetting.-Oil is conveyed from a float chamber G to the felt Z in the carburetting- chamber by means of rods N of rattan, enclosed in tubes M and resting on a ring Ul of felt. The float G<6> is preferably of cork. Air enters the carburetting - chamber through holes G<1> and holes G'‹ in the inverted cone G<8>, and passes through two perforated plates L, W to a chamber where it meets supplementary air entering through holes F<6> and the throttle valve I. Thence it passes through holes E3 in the base of the piston valve E, the spring valve C, and throttle valve Y to the engine. The piston valve E lifts higher as the speed of the engine increases, and allows an increased current of pure air to enter through its inverted triangular ports El, thus preventing the mixture from becoming richer.

Title: Improved Process for the Concentration of Liquids and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
Filed: 1907-07-16
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 16,344. Lake, H. W., [St÷hr & Co.]. July 16. Concentrating brine, glue, soap lyes, &c.-Aqueous liquids are concentrated by heating them with aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluol, having boiling- points above 100‹ C, the evaporation taking place at low temperatures, for example 75-80‹ C., owing to a mixture of water and toluol vapours being formed. The apparatus comprises a store tank c for the liquid ; a still a containing the toluol heated by a calcium chloride bath, steam jacket, or the like ; a condenser e ; and a vessel f in which the water and toluol separate, the latter flowing back to the still by a pipe g. The process is applicable to salt, sugar, glycerine (soap lyes), yolk lyes, and glue water. When soap lyes are under treatment, the residual liquor in the still is filtered for the separation of the salts, and the glycerine is decanted off from the toluol and dissolved fatty matters.
