Patent GB-190425349-A (GB)
Title: Means for Producing & Regulating Self-ignition of the Charge in Explosion or Internal Combustion Engines & Securing more Perfect Combustion in same
Inventor: BECK ARTHUR EDWARD
Filed: 1904-11-22
Granted: 1905-10-26
Abstract: 25,349. Beck, A. E. Nov. 22. Gas and l i k e engines, igniting in. The charge is ignited by contact with a quantity of gas or mixture which has been compressed to ignition point in a separate chamber. The main charge is thus detonated or rapidly ignited, and its pressure quickly brought to the maximum. As shown in the Figure, a small chamber b communicates through ports d, e with the cylinder. Normally, the port e is closed by the spring-pressure abutment f. The chamber b is filled from the cylinder, and after the port d is closed by the piston, a cam or other device depresses the ram c and compresses the charge to ignition point. Its sudden expansion depresses the abutment f, and the ignited gas passes through the port e and detonates the main charge.

Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 2504. Lauer, B. Feb. 22, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cork, cutting.-Cork stoppers are roughly cut and finished in one operation, either by a hand machine, or by a power machine such as described in Specification No. 5953, A.D. 1906, the rotation of the cork being stopped while the knives are entering it. In both forms, the rough-cut blade k of length corresponding to one turn of the cork square is situated at a higher level, but in a plane parallel with the finishing-blade l of length equal to 1“ turns of the cork. In the first form, shown in Fig. 2, the cutter is moved by a handle on a guide-rod g, which is attached to a bracket a fixed to the frame b by a screw and slotted central extension, so as to be held at different angles according to the taper required, and supported at each end on screws. The cork is held between jaws q, m, the latter of which is adjustable either by hand or mechanically in a slide n. The blade holder has a nut s, which first moves on a plain part p so that the cork square is stationary until after the blade k has cut into it next moves on the screw r to rotate the square and take the rough cut, then moves on the plain part i to hold the cork while the blade l cuts into it, and finally moves on the screw u to rotate the cork and take the finishing cut. In the second form shown in Fig. 4, on the pivot pin 100 of the arm 77, is mounted a toothed sector 101 engaging a partly toothed pinion 102 after the blade k has penetrated the square, to the spindle of which is keyed a sector 103 meshing with a pinion keyed to the fixed jaw. The teeth on the sector 103 are divided into two portions, and to the middle untoothed portion is fixed a stop which contacts with a flat portion of a ring keyed to the jaw pinion spindle to stop the rotation of this pinion. The blade l penetrates the cork, and the second portion of the sector then comes into gear to again rotate the cork.

Filed: 1907-03-22
Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 6943. Davy, W. J. March 22. Arc lamps.-Electrodes consist each of three or more inclined carbons situated in one plane and acting as stops for one another. Each of the carbons touches only those immediately adjacent to it. The carbons are caused to burn evenly by means of an arc-deflecting device, which is also applicable to lamps having electrodes consisting of two carbons each. In the arrangement shown, four carbons a forming an electrode are arranged in pairs in one plane, the holders b being guided by a frame c, and connected by links d to a centrally - guided weight e. The clamps of the outer carbons are pivoted to the holders b, to allow for irregularities in the carbons. Current is conveyed to the outer carbons by roller arms ; or these carbons are provided with metal coatings. An arc-deflecting magnet h is wound on one limb only, or wound unequally on its two limbs, with the object of directing the arc chiefly downwards when on the inner carbons and outwards when on the outer carbons. The frame guiding one electrode is arranged so as to be tilted to strike the arcs. In another arrangement, the outer carbons are inclined and a pair of parallel carbons or a single carbon is placed midway between them. Six carbons forming one electrode may be arranged in threes in two holders sliding on inclined rods.
