Filed: 1905-07-08
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 14,079. Electric and Ordnance Accessories Co., Hancock, R., and Hall, R. F. July 8. Air, heating.-Air to be employed in the ventilation of rooms &c. is heated by passage through a. casing c surrounding the flue b of a furnace a. The flue b is preferably built up from sections b<3>, which are formed with webs or ribs g and bolted together, a casting b<2> communicating with the chimney. Air is admitted through openings e, and is drawn through the apparatus by a fan. The air passage is divided into a number of compartments by straight or by curved radial partition plates f. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act, 1902, to Specifications No. 846, A.D. 1875, and No. 4602, A.D. 1888.

Title: Improvements relating to Carburetting Apparatus for Internal Combustion Engines
Inventor: PARNACOTT ALFRED EDMUND
Filed: 1905-07-12
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 14,397. Parnacott, A. E. July 12. Gas or explosive-vapour engines; carburetting; governing; starting.-Relates to carburettors of the type described in Specification No. 16,597, A.D. 1904. Figs. 5 and 6 show a typical form of the carburettor. The oil valve b is mounted in such a way that it is allowed to open by the movement of the air valve c<x>, and its degree of opening can be made independent of that of the air valve. With a sliding air valve, a ring c<3>, hinged at c<4>, is employed and the hinge and the valve b are moved relatively to each other to adjust the opening of the valve. When a hinged air valve is used, it acts directly on the valve b which is adjusted relatively to the hinge. By this arrangement, the mixture becomes poorer as the speed and the suction increase. The engine is thus governed automatically. The air enters through the chamber a and passes with the fuel through spiral openings a<3> in the casing a<2> whereby they are thrown against the wall of the cup i to mix them, the mixture escaping through the axial passage i<2>. The spiral openings may be of different lengths. The less volatile constituents of the fuel collect in the cup i and are vaporized by exhaust gases passing through a jacket k<0>; the cup is supported through a spring i<1> by the jacket and yields to an explosion in the admission pipe i<2>. When heavy hydrocarbons are vaporized in the apparatus, water may also be admitted by an additional valve b and the oil and water may be heated in a coil of pipe in the jacket k<0>. A valve in the exhaust pipe k<2> may also be controlled by the height of the liquid which has accumulated in the cup i acting upon a float attached to it. The exterior of the cup and the inner wall of the jacket may be fitted with baffles. The jacket and cup may both be supported by a spring and hinged exhaust pipe. Provision is made for opening the valve b by hand at starting. The air valve opening is limited by a band or by a governorcontrolled stop o and spring, and a spring treadlelever q, Fig. 28, may be used on motor cars to act upon the valve-rod c<6> and the igniting-switch rod r simultaneously ; the movement of the treadle is controlled by a slotted quadrant t, Fig. 28<a>, adjusted by hand. The curve t<4> determines the opening of the valveand consequently the maximum speed, and the curve t' permits a speed just above the minimum. The oil is supplied at constant pressure from an elevated tank having a submerged air inlet pipe.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Field Magnets of Electric Motors, Dynamos or other Electrical Apparatus.
Inventor: VEDRINE AUGUSTE
Filed: 1905-10-24
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 21,658. Vedrine, A., and QuÚlen, Count R. de, [trading as Soc. A. Vedrine et Cie]. Oct. 25, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Field magnets ; sparking, preventing ; electromagnets.-Relates to a construction of field magnet in which the variations of its permeability are small in spite of large variations in the magnetic flux, the armature reaction thus remaining practically constant and sparking at the commutator being consequently prevented without changing the position of the brushes as the speed of the machine varies. In the construction of yoke shown in section in Fig. 3, the central portion O M is made large enough to carry the magnetic flux when the motor is running at its highest speed. As the excitation is increased, the magnetic permeability of the portion O M diminishes, and the greater part of the additional flux is taken by the side portions 0 P, M Q. The left-hand part of Fig. 7 shows the distribution of the lines of force when the speed of the motor is high, and the right-hand part the distribution when the speed is low. Modifications of the yoke structure are shown in Figs. 4 and 5. In the construction shown in Fig. 10, a space, which may be almost completely denuded of iron, separates the central portion x from the side portions y. The invention is applicable to all machines and apparatus comprising an electrically-produced magnetic field.

Title: Improvements in Change Speed Gearing for Motor Cars and similar Vehicles.
Inventor: HIGGINS EDWARD SMITH
Filed: 1905-12-11
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 25,764. Higgins, E. S. Dec. 11. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to means for obviating shock in step-by-step speed gearing for motor-vehicles, and consists in the use of hydraulic clutches in combination with positive clutches. Spur-wheels d, e, f, g secured to the driven shaft c are in permanent mesh with rings upon the peripheries of clutches h, i, j, l, the last pair through an idler k for reversing. These clutches are constructed on the liquid-pump principle as shown in Fig. 4. When the toothed periphery rotates, it carries with it toothed pinions w in mesh with wheels q sliding on feathers on the driving- shaft b, the action resulting in a circulation of liquid in a chamber x within the clutch. If this chamber x is intercepted by a valve y, relative motion between the periphery and the wheel q is restrained and finally stopped. The chamber x is open to an oil bath. on one side at z. Positivelyacting ratchet clutches m, n, o, p are used in conjunction with the hydraulic clutches in such a way that, in increasing the velocity ratio, connexion is made with a driving-ring of larger diameter gradually by means of an hydraulic clutch; positive engagement ensues. Cones 3, 4, &c. act upon the levers 7 to turn the taps y before the clutches m, n, &c. come into action. As the higher speeds come in the wheels d, e overrun on ratchet clutches.

Abstract: 6889. Kelly, A., and Hansen, C. D. B. March 22. Windlasses; capstans.- Two-speedtransmission gear is fitted between the engines and the horizontal drum shaft of a windlass or capstan. Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to a windlass and capstan worked from the same engines. The horizontal shaft A carrving the cable drums B and warping drums C is driven from the engines D through two-speed bevel and worm gearing. The worm is mounted on a vertical shaft carrying toothed wheels E, F at its upper end engaging the looselymounted bevel-wheels G, H on the engine shaft. By operating the clutch J from the hand-wheel on the screwed shaft L, either of the wheels G, H can be clutched to the engine shaft, and thus the shaft A or the capstan M can be driven at two speeds. The invention may be applied to windlasses in which the drum shaft is driven bybevel-gear instead of worm gearing.
