Abstract: 27,074. Poppe, P. A. Dec. 7. Lubricating.-In a partitioned crank chamber for multi-cylinder engines of motor vehicles &c. having splash lubrication, means are provided for circulating the oil through the separate compartments to ensure a more or less uniform level in spite of tilting. On the wall of each compartment B is an inclined channel D opening by a passage G into the next compartment. The last compartment communicates with the first by a return channel F. Oil is supplied at one point only, and being splashed into the channels D circulates through the compartments B. The openings G may lead into channels H from which the crank-shaft bearings 0 are lubricated by passages J. In place of the channel F, a pump may be used to return the oil to the first compartment.

Granted: 1909-12-06
Abstract: 26,334. Broadbent, J. H., and Kirk, K. Dec.5. Openers.-Relates to means for timing and controlting the feed and discharge in automatic willows with overhead delivery, such as are described in Speci6cations No. 17,322, A.D. 1887, and No. 17,720, A.D. 1898. The delivery door t is opened by means of a cam p engaging a stud q connected to levers r.. A catch c, operated by a cam d, driven through variable cone - pulley mechanism e, engages a stud e<l>-and thus holds a spaced wheel a, to which the cam p is attached, in an inoperative position during the working of the machine. When the catch c is moved out of the path of the stud C<1>j the spaced wheel a falls down into gear with a revolving toothed wheel g. The rotation of the spaced wheel a causes the cam p to engage the stud q, and a segment j, also on the spaced wheel a, is brought into gear with a toothed wheel. h connected to a half-moon pulley by a chain k, and thus tilts the hopper and feeds the material to the machine.

Filed: 1909-05-19
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 11,838. Fairweather, W., [Underwood Typewriter Co.]. May 19. Back-spacing mechanism.-In back-spacing mechanism of the kind in which a pivoted dog is swung into engagement with the carriage-rack, the dog is mounted so as to prevent over-running of the carriage. An "Underwood" machine is shown, in which the rack 4 is suspended by arms 5 and gears with a pinion 8 connected by pawls 9 to the escapement-wheel 10. The back-spacing dog 21 is pivoted at 22 to an arm 24, which is pivoted at 25 to the frame. The dog is also pivoted at 18 to a link 17 connected to a shaft 15 which may be rocked by a back-spacing key 13. The dog normally stands as shown in Fig. 1 at the rear of the rack 4, and is held against a stop 30 on the arm 24 by means of a spring 27, which connects the dog to a stud 28 on the link 17. The pivot 18 is in front of the pivot 22 so that, when the key 13 is depressed, the dog is first swung laterally into engagement with the rack as shown in Fig. 5. This movement is limited by the contact of the arm 24 with the rack 4 and also by contact of a finger 30<a> on the arm 24 with a rail 30b on the frame. Further depression of the key swings the dog slightly about the pivot 22 from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Fig. 2, and backspaces the carriage, this movement of the dog being limited by the contact of a nose 32 with the arm 24. At the finish of the back-spacing movement of the dog, the rack is positively arrested because the rack cannot force the dog further about the pivot 22 ; also the rack is prevented from jumping over the dog by means of a hook 31 on the lever 24, which catches over the rack. When the key is released, the link 17 is lifted by a spring 33 and swings the dog laterally, whereupon the springs 17, 33 swing the dog to normal position. To ensure that the dog does not begin to swing about the pivot 22 until the arm 24 has swung to the position shown in Fig. 5, the arm 24 may carry a pivoted latch 34 having a tooth 37 which abuts against the dog 21 until the latch is arrested by contact with the rack 4. To prevent back-lash of the escapement-wheel 10, there is provided a pivoted finger 39 which is swung into the teeth of the wheel by means of the arm 24.

Sheet feeding and guiding arrangements; platen scales.-A device for manipulating the record sheet and the invoices in condensed billing is used in conjunction with an ordinary arrangement of feed-rolls c and a paper apron d, and comprises a frame f, pivoted at f<1> to the platen-frame band provided with tables h, g and a bar i, which carries adjustable paper-fingers k and rolls l. The invoice q is fed over the apron d ; and the record o and carbon p are fed over the table h, the frame f being normally maintained by a spring m in the position shown in Fig. 2, so that the edge of the table h is quite clear of the platen, and the fingers k, and the rolls l are held down on the batch of papers. When the invoice has been typed, the frame f is tilted to cause the bottom edge of the table h to grip the record o and carbon p, so that, on releasing the feed-rolls c, the invoice q may be withdrawn without disturbing the record and the carbon. The frame f is provided with a tilting-finger h<1>, which is arranged close to the usual finger c<1> for releasing the rolls c so that the firigers h<1>, c<1> may be operated simultaneously. To indicate the position of the last entry on the record, there is provided a known form of scale comprising graduated rings t, u, which are respectively secured to, and adjustable round, the platen, and are read by an index t<1>.

Abstract: 3407. Main, J., A. Feb. 11. Atmospheric vapour burners; vaporizing- apparatus.-In a means for producing products of the combustion of liquid fuel under pressure, for operating turbines or other engines or for use in a jet-propeller for aeroplanes the fuel after being vaporized in a coil 2 divides into two portions, both of which may be mixed with air, but in different proportions, the rich portion passing through a nozzle 11 and mixing with and igniting a portion of the weak mixture from the tube 14, in the nozzle 12, the flame from this nozzle then igniting the remainder of the weak mixture, which passes down the annular nozzle 12<1> and burns in the combustion chamber 13. The products of combustion supply heat to the vaporizing and superheating coils 2, 6, 18, and may thereby be cooled sufficiently for direct use in the engine. If insufficiently cooled, additional air may be sucked in at an injector 19 provided with a hit-and-miss air regulator 21. The oil and air may be supplied by injectors 4, 8, 16; or compressors and pumps driven by the main engine or by special engines operated by partial expansion of the vaporized fuel before burning, may be used for this purpose.
