Abstract: 23,099. Pokorny & Wittekind Maschinenbau Akt. - Ges., and K³hn. W. Oct. 10. Percussive hand tools. - The distributing- valve 9 is formed as a sleeve co-axial with the cylinder, and is provided with shoulders and recesses which control the distribution. The supply ports 17, 18 communicate with an annular recess 5 arranged above a line x towards the tool handle. The exhaust ports are arranged below the line x and pass through the cylinder walls below the head of the tool. With the piston moving forward, and the valve in the position shown, fluid is supplied to the back end of the cylinder through ports 18, and the exhaust from the front end of the cylinder passes through ports and passages 20, 19, 21, 7, 8. When the piston passes a port 13, the fluid, which has fallen in pressure owing to the motion of the piston, passes through passage 14 and a port 15 and, acting on a shoulder, partly balances the valve and enables the fullpressure fluid acting on a shoulder 9<a> in communication with the port 17 to reverse the valve. The exhaust from the back end of the cylinder passes through port 16, and ports and passages 10 .. 15 in the cylinder wall to the passage 7 and auxiliary ontlet 8. Fluid pressure passes to the forward end of the cylinder through ports 17, 18<a>, a passage 19, and a port 20. During the up-stroke, when the piston passes the port 10, fluid retained in the cylinder is compressed by the piston and reverses the valve.

Abstract: 2078. Lempdes, A.-H. R. de. Jan. 25, 1912, [Convention date]. Air, supplying for combustion; draught, regulating.-Air is admitted to a closed stove only at the upper end of the fuel-container, and, mixing with the fuel gases, passes thence to the fire or in adjustable proportions to the fire and the chimney. Fig. 2 shows a sectional plan of the upper end of a stove which has on its outer surface four vertical pipes 1, 2, 3, entering an annular flue 4. Air enters by the pipe 1, passes across the top of the fuelcontainer as shown by the arrows, and through a valve 9 to the pipes 2 leading to the combustion chamber. Alternatively, a part may be conducted direct to the outlet 3 that leads to the chimney. Figs. 2 and 3 show a suitable valve 9 for regulating the passage of the air &c. to the pipes 2, 3. It consists of a hollow cylinder with an aperture 10 in its lower surface, which aperture may be registered with an opening 12 leading to the pipes 2 and to the grate, or with both of the openings 11, 12, so as to conduct part of the air &c. to the chimney. The arrangement may be adapted to other stoves, and one of the tubes 2 and the flue 4 may be omitted. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a valve, shown in Fig. 3 (cancelled), consisting of a semicircular disk 6 working over openings 7, 8 leading respectively to the tubes 2, 3.

Title: Starting and Stopping Mechanism for Automobile Torpedoes.
Inventor: LEAVITT FRANK MCDOWELL
IPC: F42B19/30
Filed: 1913-03-11
Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 6060. Leavitt, F. M. March 11. Stop-gear.-Relates to starting and stopping devices comprising a main valve controlled by a second valve worked by the usual starting- lever, and consists in holding the latter valve in the open position, after the start, by a catch which is released automatically so as to stop the run when the engine completes a certain number of revolutions or exceeds a certain speed. As shown, the plug g of the main valve E has a leak j which equalizes the pressures in the chamber h and the inlet pipe a, and thus causes the valve plug to be held to its seat d until the control valve l is opened by the starting-lever H. The sudden release of the pressure in the chamber h opens the valve E and starts the engine, but the valve E remains open, and the engine keeps running, only so long as the valve l remains open to allow the compressed air that leaks past the hole to escape and prevent the formation of a pressure above the plug of the valve E. This valve is similar to the one described in Specification 13,173/07, [Class 135, Valves &c.]. According to the invention, the valve l is held open by a spring catch J, which is released either after a given run, by a cam K on a. wheel L driven by reducing worm gears t<3>, t from the engine shaft D, or, when the engine exceeds a given speed, by a spring lever M, the locking-link Q of which is severed by a knife x<1> worked by a centrifugal device x geared to the engine shaft. The cam K may be formed on a separate disk secured to the wheel L by a screw k<1> so that its angular position may be adjusted. The lever H works the valve I through a lever I and cam r.

C y l i n d e r s receiving liquid fuel. - The fuel injector comprises a guide b, a plug f, and a delivery nozzle g, all contained within the casing a. Liquid fuel from a pump enters at the annular space e and passes down the passages i, i<1> to the valve seat by tangential passages in the cone face p. The pressure of the fuel, acting on the differential area formed by the difference in diameter of the two parts of the valve spindle, raises the valve against the action of the spring k through the distance m. Fuel leaking past the spindle is returned to the valve seat by the passages q, n, and o. A small amount of air remainiog above the fuel is compressed in the cap l. The central passage n may terminate in a passage leading to the combustion chamber closed by a valve, in place of the passages o. The nozzle is water-jacketed.
