Title: Improvements in or relating to Locking and Releasing the Setting Slides in Calculating Machines.
Filed: 1913-10-21
Granted: 1914-04-16
Abstract: 23,816. Teetzmann & Co. May 10, [Convention date]. Multiplying &c. apparatus.-In machines of the pin-wheel and camdisk type, wherein setting-slides are adapted to effect the setting movements of the camdisks resulting in the extrusion of variable numbers of pins or teeth from the pin-wheels, the operating - handles of the machines are locked from idle movement when the setting-slides are in engagement with the cam-disks; the handles can, however, be released by the withdrawal of a spring-controlled pin placed centrally in the handle, whereupon the setting-slides are at once disengaged from the cam - disks. The setting is effected by means of handles a attached to sliding memhers b which move, in turn, the slides c, d. The slides are carried by a fixed rod g and by a rod h mounted in spring-controlled links or arms i so that it can moye in an arc of a circle round the rod g. The slides c, d are capable of an upper position as shown, and a lower position shown in dotted lines, in the former of which notches d in the slides engage with lateral pins e on the cam-disks f, while the operating- handle is locked by a projection k in co-operation with a notch on the disk f. The movement into the upper position is caused by the rotation of a shaft m by means of a key o, Fig. 2, the movement causing the rotation of a crank or eccentric l which raises the links i and consequently the slides. In this position of the shaft m a spring-controlled pin r, which, in the normal position of the operating-handle, engages an aperture in the frame-work of the machine, engages the halved end of the shaft m and locks it, so that the setting - slides are secured in the upper position, the pin r being prevented from rotating by a stud s and a groove in the pin. As soon as the handle and pin r are withdrawn at the beginning of the operating-movement, the links i and the slides fall owing to the action of the spring u attached to the links.

Title: Internal Combustion Pump.
Inventor: GOLBY FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1914-03-17
Granted: 1915-02-04
Abstract: 6714. Golby, F. W., [Schafer, W., Griffith, G., Wright, F. M., and Cygon, J. R.]. March 17. Direct explosion apparatus.-An internal - combustion pump is provided with a main delivery pipe leading to a pressureequalizing chamber and containing a non-return valve, and with a narrow return conduit for leading a portion of the water back to the combustion chamber to compress the fresh charge of comb u s t i b l e gas. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the combustible gas is introduced into a combustion chamber 13 in a water-forcing chamber 1, and upon explosion the water is forced through a delivery pipe 4 and non-return valve 5 into a pressure-equalizing chamber 6, from which it flows through a pipe 7 containing a regulating- valve 8. Tne reduction of pressure in the chamber 1 at the end of the expansion stroke causes a fresh charge of combustible gas to enter the chamber 13 from the pipe 11 and fresh water to enter the chamber 1 from the pipe 2. At the completion of the outstroke, water re'urns from the chamber 6 through a narrow passage 18 containing a regulating-valve 19 and compresses the charge in the chamber 13. As soon as the pressure rises sufficiently, a spring-controlled piston 21 operates an electric contact and causes ignition. The burnt products of combustion escape with the water through the pipe 4. A safety-valve 23 is fitted to the chamber 6. In a modification, the chamber 13 is closed at the bottom and provided with inlet and outlet valves opening into the chamber 1 for the purpose of preventing admixture of the fresh charge with burnt products.
