Patent GB-190819068-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Carburetters for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: SPILLER HERBERT WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-09-10
Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 19,068. Spiller, H. W. Sept. 10. Gas or explosivevapour engines, carburetting in. Relates to carburettors of the multiple-jet type. Fuel nozzles E, E<1>, E<2>, E<3> are placed in radial passages F, F<1>, F<2>, F<3>, Fig. 2, which are controlled by the suction-operated differential valve C<2>, Fig. 3, the annular portion of which is open to the atmosphere through an orifice D<1>. The valve is provided with a diaphragm C<3> having a hole C', and with a rod K which serves as an indicator; the lower end of the valve is stepped. When suction occurs the valve does not move at once, but only when the reduced pressure transmitted by the hole C<4> produces its effect above the enlarged portion C'. The valve then rises and brings into action in succession the fuel nozzles E, E', E<2>, E<3>, each nozzle coming into action before the passage for the preceding nozzle is fully open. With this construction, pulsation of the valve C' is prevented. One of the passages may be without a nozzle and serve as an additional air supply. The nozzles are fed from afloat chamber by passages X, X'. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the jets surround the float chamber J and are situated in vertical passages F<4>, F<5>, &c., the mixture being led away through the horizontal pipe Y. More or less than four nozzles may be used. Variation in fuel supply due to tilting may be compensated for in the form shown in Fig. 2 by placing the passages X, X<1> parallel to the axles of the vehicle ; and compensation for two directions of tilting may be obtained by fitting a second float chamber and supplying one passage only from each chamber. The form shown in Fig. 5 is self-compensating.

Abstract: 4200. Lutter, K. Feb. 20. Ball bearings.-In a ball bearing having several rows of balls, a filling-recess is made at one side of one ring only, and is level with the bottom of the ball race. The inner ring 1, Fig. 3, has two grooved races 3, 3<1>, and the outer ring 5 has a central rib 5<1>. A filling-recess 6 is formed on one side of the ring 1 In assembling the bearing, the balls 2 are placed in the groove 3, the rings being separated, and the ring 5 is then passed over the balls 2 from left to right, the balls 2<1> being inserted finally in the groove 3<1> by means of the recess 6. In place of the recess 6, the whole edge of the ring may be cut away almost to the depth of the ball race, allowing all the balls 2<1> to be forced in simultaneously. Several modifications are described, in which more than two rows of balls are used. In that shown in Fig. 7, the balls 25, 26, 27 are placed in the ring 25, and the balls 28 on the ring 23 before the rings are placed one within the other. The balls 29 are inserted through the recess 30. A cage may be used to space the balls. Fig. 10 shows a combined journal and thrust bearing which is assembled in a similar manner, a filling-recess 50 being formed in the outer race.

Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 4227. Dyer, R. E. H. Feb. 20. [Cognate Application, 5169/09.] Range-finders.-Relates to finders of the kind in which a reflecting- device is slid along a base-bar, the image in one position falling on one line in the focal plane of a telescope &c. b at the end of the bar and in the other position on a second line, the amount of travel being a measure of the distance, as described in Specification 13,746/08. A double reflector consisting either of two mirrors u, v set at 45 degrees to one another, or of a reflecting- prism, is now used, the device being mounted on a carriage d travelling along the base-bar and provided with springs s on one side for keeping it in position and rollers r on the other for guiding. The instrument can be adjusted in azimuth on its stand y, and, by means of the screw 1 pressing against the depending bar z, the bar can be turned about its pivot x to enable objects at a higher or lower level to be observed. Alternatively, the reflectors only can be adjusted. In one modification, the carriage slides along a taut wire along the base; and in another, the hollow base is used as the body of the sighting- telescope. To enable the range of moving objects to be taken, a subsidiary reflector 5, Fig. 4, is adjustably mounted on a frame enclosing the bar. The main reflecting-device then being brought beneath it, the object is sighted when two images appear on the same sighting-line. As the object moves, the instrument is rotated to keep the image from the reflector 5 on this line, and the main device is traversed along the base till the other image coincides with the second sighting-line. Specification 27,022/08 is also referred to.

Abstract: 20,906. Taylor, A. M. Sept. 8. Switches, quick-action; sparking, preventing. -Spark - preventing switches for connecting booster armatures in series or parallel are so arranged that more resistance is inserted at the moment of break when changing from series to parallel than when changing from parallel to series. Each switch consists of a main blade b, two auxiliary blades a, c, and contacts e, f, g of different lengths. When changing from parallel to series, as shown in Fig. 3, the blades b, c engage the contacts e, f, g, before the blade a leaves the contact d, thereby connecting the resistances o, o<1>, o<2> in parallel. A further movement of the blades short-circuits the resistances by engagement with the contact h. When changing from series to parallel, the blade c engages the contact e, so that only the resistance o is in circuit when the series connexion is severed and the parallel connexion made. The movements of the blades a, c, at the correct moments, are obtained by projections k, j. In an alternative arrangement, the arm a is provided with an arm l, which engages a spring-controlled pawl m, from which it is released when the tension in the spring reaches a predetermined value. To obtain simultaneous operation, the switches S, S' are mechanically interlocked.
