Patent GB-190707736-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Carburetters for Explosion Motors
Inventor: BAVEREY FRANCOIS
Filed: 1907-04-02
Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 7736. Baverey, F. Jan. 30, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. The invention is particularly applicable to automatic carburettors of the kind described in Specification No. 6656, A.D. 1907. Two concentric nozzles are employed, one only of which is affected by the engine suction. The nozzle g through which petrol from the chamber v is drawn by suction is surrounded by a second nozzle h, the annular space between the two being supplied with fuel, also from the chamber v, through a hole in the plug i fitted to the pipe j which is in communication with the atmosphere through the gauze-covered cap k. A spring r, which turns about the cap k, serves to keep in place the cover t of the chamber v and the conical chamber a. The flow of fuel through the hole i to the compensating-nozzle h is constant. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the compensating-nozzle, instead of surrounding the ordinary nozzle, consists of a passage u leading to the edge of the throttle valve where an energetic suction exists. Petrol is supplied from the passage c to the passage u through the channel m and plug i. The carburettor shown in Fig. 5 combines the features of the two preceding carburettors. Petrol arriving in the pipe j is drawn entirely through the passage f if the suction is sufficiently great, but if at low speeds the suction is weak, the fuel rises in the pipe until it reaches the orifice f when it is drawn through the compensating-nozzle u. Petrol which rises in the pipe j when the motor is stopped is withdrawn at the first turn of the starting-handle.

Abstract: 11,642. Green, J. H. May 18. Raising or erecting posts.-The post-raising machines described in Specfications No. 20;728, A.D. 1905, No. 5508, A.D. 1906, and No. 3224, A.D. 1907, are fitted with a device by which the post may be lowered gradually into the ground instead of being allowed to fall direct from the table. This device is arranged by carrying the table a and its clamps j on guide-bars on tubes b fixed to the cross-shaft c. A claw g locks the table on the slides and prevents relative movement until it is disengaged. To lower the post, the winding-chain is engaged with the eye i, as shown in Fig. 4, the claw g is released to free the table on the slides, and the slides and table are then brought into the vertical position shown in Fig. 4. By slowly unwinding the chain, the post may then be gradually lowered into the hole made for its reception; the earth is filled in round the base, and the clamps j are released. The guides may be replaced by screws passing through nuts on the table so that the table may be lowered by turning the screws.

Title: Improvements in the Aeration of Dough.
Inventor: LUNT GEORGE
Filed: 1907-10-31
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 24,127. Lunt, G., and Callow, J. Oct. 31. Dough-working machinery.-Dough is aerated thoroughly with gas containing free oxygen, preferably after the lapse of part of the period of fermentation. One form of apparatus comprises a number of nozzles b, Fig. 2, mounted in a hollow head c, which is joined to a gas-holder g by a flexible pipe la and is reciprocated vertically by sliding heads e operated by a shaft p. The admission of the gas to the nozzles b is controlled by a valve i, which is opened during the descent of the nozzles into the dough trough u by a rod k engaging a cam-surface l, and is closed during their withdrawal by a spring. The shaft drives, through a disk q and rod r, a pump which supplies gas to the holder g. The trough u is reciprocated with a step-by-step movement by means of crank-disks y, y<1>, Fig. 4, connecting-rods x, x<1>, and slides w, w<1>, which carry pawls z, z<1> engaging respectively racks v, v<1> attached to the trough u. The racks carry at each end inclined surfaces 2, 3 which periodically move the pawls z, z<1> out of acd into engagement with the racks at the points where the movement of the trough is reversed. The nozzles b may be replaced by beater arms provided with air channels 4, Fig. 5, carrying nozzles 5 closed through the action of a spring 12 by a valve 11. A disk 8, supported by two arms 7 working in slots 6 in the nozzle and joined to a nozzle 9 attached to the valve 11, is pushed inwards on immersion of the nozzle 5 in the dough, thus opening the valve 11 and allowing the air to pass into the dough through a channel 10 in the nozzle 9. Another form of nozzle, shown in Fig. 7, comprises a cap 15 screwed into an air channel 16 and provided with a perforated plate 18, through which pasees a narrow tube 17 joined to a small chamber 19 communicating by a small orifice 22 with the pipe 16. When the nozzle is immersed in the dough, the end of the tube 17 is closed, thus raising the pressure in the chamber 19 and moving a piston 20 which brings the perforations of a plate 21 into coincidence with those in the plate 18 and allows the air to pass from the tube 16 into the dough. When the nozzle emerges from the dough, the pressure in the chamber 19 falls, and a spring 23 restores the piston 20 and plate 21 to their original position. The nozzles may be attached to fixed air channels or to moving beater arms. A syringe may be used for aerating the dough.
