Patent GB-190817228-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Explosion Motors.
Inventor: CRUZ JULIO LOPES VALENTE DA
Filed: 1908-08-15
Granted: 1909-08-12
Abstract: 17,228. Cruz, J. L. V. da. Aug. 15. Gas and like engines.-In engines having two oppositely - moving pistons in the same cylinder, the volume of the combustion chamber is varied by adjusting the position of the pivot c of the linkwork between the upper piston and the crank-shaft, the link-work being connected with mechanism for operating valves 14, which permit more or less compressed mixture to pass from the combustion chamber to a reservoir so as to maintain a uniform compression pressure. The piston b is connected by a bridge-piece 2 and links 11 to swing- ing links 3, one end of each of which is connected by rods 10 to the crank-shaft, while the other end is pivoted at c to a screwed rod 4. The rods 4 are adjusted to vary the position of the piston b by rotating the worm shaft 8, gearing with wormwheels 6 on nuts 5, by means of a hand-wheel 9 or by mechanism connected to the governor. The admission valve 12 opens automatically when the pressure in the cylinder falls to atmospheric pressure, but is closed mechanically, the valve having a two-part resilient stem as shown in Fig. 3, or the lever acts on the spring instead of on the valvespindle. The valves 14 are operated by a camshaft 17, which can be moved longitudinally against the action of the spring by means of levers and links 18, 30, 19. The lever 18 engages an adjustable screw 21 carried by one of the screwed rods 4, the arrangement being such that the adjustment of the screwed rod causes a corresponding adjustment of the cam-shaft 17. The degree of compression is regulated and premature ignition is prevented by adjusting the screw 21. When the rods 4 are raised to their highest positions the valves 14 close before the end of the compression stroke, and open just before the exhaust valves 13 are closed, so that the carburetted air compressed in the reservoir 22 sweeps the exhaust products from the cylinder. When the rods are in their lowest positions, the valves 14 close just before the end of the compression stroke, and open after the closing of the exhaust valves. The residual products heat the carburetted air during the expansion that occurs on the following stroke until the pressure falls sufficiently for the admission valve to open. At starting, the lever 18 may be depressed to retard the closing of the valves 14 and thus reduce the quantity of carburetted air to be compressed in the cylinders.
Patent GB-190822093-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Casks and the like.
Inventor: SHARROCK CHARLES WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-10-19
Granted: 1909-08-12
Abstract: 22,093. Sharrock, C. W. Oct. 19. Wood casks.-The bell A of a trussing-machine is provided with one or more hoop holders comprising a series of radially-movable sections D, the inner faces of which form grooves F for receiving the hoops E', E<2>, the sections being yieldingly pressed towards the axis of the bell by coiled springs J in order to retain the hoops against displacement. The sections are arranged to slide radially between the upper and lower walls h<1>, h<2> of horizontal channels H encircling the bell. The lower edge of each section is bevelled as at d to facilitate the thrusting-aside of the sections as the staves are advanced into the bell, and also to prevent the splitting of the staves. To prevent a hoop from being displaced eccentrically, the inner end of each guide-rod L is made tubular to receive a radially-movable plunger M, which passes through a guide-hole in the hoop-holder, the plunger being pressed inwards by a spring N. An arrangement for simultaneously withdrawing or retracting the sections of the hoop-holder consists of a series of tangentially-arranged wedges 0 passing through apertures in the guide-rods L and also bearing against the outer surface of the bell, the wedges being integral with or connected to a curved camring P. A hand-lever Q causes the ring P to rotate, whereupon the wedges 0 retract the guiderods and with them the corresponding sections D of the holder.

Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 27,970. Telle, E. Dec. 23. Teeth, artificial.-Dentures are obtained by welding blocks of one or more teeth C, Fig. 5, having celluloid backings B to a thin celluloid plate A by means of a solution of celluloid in a vaporizable solvent, such as alcohol and ether. An old denture A of vulcanite or the like may be repaired by making a recess at the required part a<6>, Fig. 7, of the plate A<1>, filling in with celluloid, and then mounting the teeth D as before. The celluloid plate A, Fig. 5, is obtained in the usual manner, but a cast is used in which ridges are covered by tin-foil,' so that clearance at these parts is obtained in the finished article, and the celluloid is toughened and freed from a portion of its camphor by compressing in the mould at a temperature at or above 300‹ F. The teeth blocks are obtained by mounting one or more teeth C in wax, arranging in an articulator, and boiling-out and replacing the wax by celluloid.

Abstract: 17,188. Stewarts & Lloyds, [Masters, S.]. July 23. Hinged valves; spindles; dirt, removing; actuating valves. - Relates to straightway valves consisting of a hinged flap closing upon a seat placed obliquely in the valve casing. The valve is operated by a spindle, which is guided at its upper end by a nut swinging upon trunnions carried by a suitable support. The seat c is formed on the part a of the casing. The hinged valve e is raised and lowered by a screwed spindle h pivoted to the valve at p and operated by a nut g, to which the handle f is secured. The nut g rotates loosely in a sleeve i, which swings on trunnions carried by the support k. This arrangement permits the spindle h to accommodate itself to the movement of the valve e.
