Title: Improvements in Carburetters for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BRYANT CHARLES HENRY
Filed: 1904-09-28
Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 20,899. Bryant, C. H., and Watling, A. Sept. 28. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. A carburetter for internal-combustion engines, especially those using the less volatile fuels such as ordinary paraffin, consists of an inner and outer casing b, a, Fig. 1, between which, and formed in one with the inner casing, is a spiral web, the final lower turns of which are of smaller diameter than the others. Both casings are flanged at c, d and are bolted or riveted to a flanged pipe i connected to, or forming part of, the exhaust pipe h. The plate m deflects some or all of the exhaust gases into the casing b, thus heating the surrounding space. To the top of the casing a is screwed a horizontal tube o, with a bore r of varying cross-section, and having at one end a delivery nozzle p, Figs. 1, 4, and 5, and at the other a stepped-cone arrangement s which leads to a chamber q, formed by a circular transparent casing t being held in two flanged covers u, 1 with packing- rings u<1>, 1<a>, respectively. The lower cover u may be securely attached to or form part of the tube o, and the upper cover 1 forms part of the casting x and the oil-supply pipe w. Against a bush 21 driven into the pipe w bears the end of a screwed spindle z, which works in a piece y provided with a stuffing-box 20, Fig. 2. An air-supply pipe 2 fitted to the casting x may have an enlarged cap 3 with springs 3<a>, Fig. 3, having projections 3<b> to engage with the pipe 2. The covers u, 1 are pressed on to the casing t by a nut o' on the end of the tube v, Figs. 1 and 2, which is slotted at 9 to allow of pins 8 fitted to the sleeve 10 working the valve 14, which is normally kept closed by the spring 15 bearing on a disc 11 cast with the sleeve 10. When a suction stroke occurs, air passes from the pipe 2 down the channels 5 past the disc 11 into the chamber q, to mix with oil which has entered by the pipes 18, w, 6, the valve 14, and holes 13, 12 to chamber q. The holes 13, 12 are made to correspond through the lowering of the disc and sleeve by suction. The mixture of air and vapour then passes the steps s through the pipe r, the varying section of which assists the mixing, and past the nozzle p around the casing b to the pipe n leading to the combustion chamber. The holes 17 in the tube v, Fig. 2, allow any air or oil underneath the valve to escape. To facilitate starting the motor when cold, a spring-controlled pin 19 attached to the disc 11 is provided. The invention is applicable to road-vehicle motors.

Title: Improvements in Governing Mechanism for Turbines.
Inventor: WILKINSON JAMES
Filed: 1904-11-04
Granted: 1905-04-20
Abstract: 23,903. Wilkinson, J. Nov. 10, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Steam &c. turbines. - A governing-device for an elastic-fluid turbine is shown in Figs. 2<a> and 3. The first turbine wheel 7 has nozzles which are controlled by double-ported rotary plug valves 14 actuated by differential pistons 24 regulated by a governor-controlled pressure. The governor spindle is connected to a piston, Fig. 2<a>, which may be dumb-bell or otherwise shaped, and is arranged with regard to live steam and exhaust passages 48, 46 so that a pulsating supply of steam is admitted through a passage 30 to the differential pistons. These pistons are arranged in cylinders connected together by passages 32 leading finally to the exhaust and by passages 34 leading finally to a constant-pressure chamber such as a boiler. The lower high-pressure heads of the pistons are of graduated size, so that two valves are in a state of unstable equilibrium and ready to respond to a rise or fall in the load, respectively, while the valves on one side of these active valves are closed and those on the other side open. Corresponding valves 15 are arranged for the nozzles for each stage and arc actuated by pistons 53 in cylinders which are connected by passages 56 to the corresponding cylinders in the preceding stage. The passages are formed as channels in the periphery of the diaphragms covered by closing slips. Other kinds of valves may be used. In a modification, the high-pressure pistons are placed uppermost. The valves may be arranged in sets of two or more and may be connected together in parallel. The stage valves may be actuated by the variations in stage pressure. In another modification, relay pistons are interposed between the differential pistons and the valves.
