Abstract: 28,560. Mascart, C. March 21, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901], Fares, registering. - Taxameters are provided with means for varying the minimum fare without altering the distance to be covered. The shaft 3 of the tenth's indicating-drum carries a heart cam 4, which is engaged by two spring-controlled levers 5, 15, Figs. 1 and 2, the spray 7 being stronger than the spring 16. The flag shaft is provided with a cam 12 and a grooved disk 2, which prevents any movement of a lever 8 provided with arms 10, 11 unless the flag is in the upright position. The normal initial fare is exhibited when the lever occupies the position 8<1>, the lever 5 being lifted out of engagement with the cam 4 into the position 5<1> by the arm 10, and the cam turned by the lever 15 into the position shown in dotted lines. When the flag is lowered, the various pawls fall into engagement, and a projection 17 strikes a slide 18 and moves the lever 15 out of engagement with the cam 4. To modify the initial fare, the flag is raised to the upright position, and the lever is moved to the position 8', thus allowing the lever 5 to rotate the cam into the position shown in full lines. On lowering the flag, the cam 12 raises the lever 5 and the pawls fall into gear, the movements being timed so that the locking-pawls fall into gear before the lever 5 is lifted. In a modification, shown in Fig. 2, the shaft 3 moves against a coiled spring, and the heart cam is replaced by a ratchet 14, the lever 5 being provided with a pawl 13 to feed on the ratchet when the lever 8 is placed in the position shown.

Abstract: 16,721. Zimmermann, A., [Chemische Fabrik auf Akt. vorm. E. Schering]. July 17. Acetylalkyliminopyrimidines useful as narcotics are produced by acetylizing the corresponding alkyliminopyrimidines by means of the usual agents. The products are of the general formula wherein "x" represents hydrogen or alkyl, "y" represents oxygen or NH or N.COCH3, but one "y" always represents N.COCH3. In examples is described the production of 5-diethyl-2-acetylimino- 4 : 6-dioxypyrimidine, its hydrochloride, 5- dipropyl-2-acetylimino - 4 : 6- dioxypyrimidine, 5- diethyl-2 : 4- diacetylimino- 6 - oxypyrimidine, and 5.monoethyl-2 - acetylimino - 4 : 6-dioxypyrimidine. The higher homologues of the above compounds, the acetyl compounds of the 5-dialkyl-4-imino- 2 : 6-dioxypyrimidines, for example the 5-diethyl body, and of the alkylated triiminopyrimidines can be obtained in a similar manner. Alkylbarbituric acids are produced by treatment of the acetyl derivatives described above with water or dilute acids, the production of mono- and di-ethylbarbituric acids being described.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Turbine Motors.
Inventor: STOREY ISAAC HENRY
Filed: 1909-09-10
Granted: 1910-09-12
Abstract: 20,668. Storey, I. H., and Kitchen, J. G. A. Sept. 10. Working-fluid supply. - Internal-combustion turbines are arranged with spherical combustion chambers such as 1 surrounded by a waterjacket 2 having pipe connexions 3, 4 for the inlet and outlet of the cooling-water. The explosive mixture under pressure is admitted through a check valve 35, a mechanicallyoperated relief valve 39 permitting a thorough scavenging of the combustion chamber. The charge is exploded by a sparking - plug situated at 22. A valve 7 is situated between the combustion chamber and the turbine. It has a long stem 8 supported in water-jacketed bearings. Outside the combustion chamber, the valve is loaded by a spring 11, strong enough to resist the initial pressure of the charge. When the charge is exploded, the pressure raises the valve 7, and the exploded gases pass to the turbine. The valve is retained open by a forked lever 14 controlled by a cam 19, until the exploded charge has expanded to a desired pressure. The stem 8 of the valve 7 is hollow, and water is supplied by a flexible pipe 12<a>, and passes through holes 12 into the rotor chamber when the valve 7 is open, thereby reducing the temperature of the working fluid. The water may be injected through holes in the valve seating instead of through the valve. The valves 7, 39, the ignition, and, if required, the water pump, are all controlled from a shaft 21 driven off the turbine. To prevent premature ignition of the charge, a contact 27 on the inlet valve 35 may be included in the primary circuit so that the charge can only be exploded when the valve is closed.
