Patent GB-190819597-A (GB)
Title: Explosion Motor with Automatic Power Regulator.
Inventor: CAILLE CHARLES
Filed: 1908-09-17
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 19,597. Caille, C. Sept. 18, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-In a twocylinder four-stroke-cycle engine suitable for motor road vehicles, the pistons are connected to opposite cranks, and the front end of each piston works in an annular pumping-chamber s, Fig. 2, drawing in on alternate upstrokes a governorcontrolled auxiliary charge of explosive mixture and a charge of air for scavenging, these charges being delivered on the downstrokes to the other working cylinder, the piston of which is making its compression or exhaust stroke. The auxiliary charge is drawn in through the throttle valve 22 and a cam-actuated valve w, and scavenging air through a valve 4, the explosive mixture or air being delivered to the other working cylinder through a non-return valve such as 16. The auxiliary charge is controlled by a governor driven by the road wheels, so that when the speed falls below a certain limit the power of the engine is increased in proportion to the resistance. When the speed is such that no auxiliary charge is required, the valve 22 is closed by the governor, and a vacuum is formed in the chamber s on alternate upstrokes. The chamber 13 at the rear of the pumping piston is connected by a pipe 14 with the crank chamber, and particles of lubricating oil are drawn into the chamber 13 at each downstroke of the piston. Fig. 3 shows a fluid governor for controlling the valve 22. An oil pump driven by the road-wheels circulates oil through a pipe 33, orifices 30, and a return pipe 34; the orifices 30 are controlled by a spring-pressed valve 28, and are shaped so that the displacement of the valve 28, and therefore of the throttle valve 22 also, is approximately proportional to the speed of the vehicle. A similar device may be used to control the normal fuel supply to the cylinder admission valve i. If the fuel supply to the valves i be shut off, the speed of the vehicle cannot exceed that at which the governor closes the valve 22. The application of the throttling device to a twostroke-cycle engine is 'described: The valve 22 is arranged in the inlet of the charging pump, and is always open sufficiently to admit the normal charge, but is opened further by the governor at low speeds. The arrangement of engine shown in Fig. 2 may be applied to a four, six, or eight cylinder engine.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Printing or otherwise Operating on Sheets of Paper and the like.
Filed: 1908-10-22
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 22,444. R. E. Machine Co., [Fisher, R. E.]. Oct. 22. Envelopes, making and counting. In machines for printing or otherwise operating on sheets of paper, envelopes, &c., a feeler b<1> is interposed between the printing &c. devices b<2>, b<3> and the feeding-devices a', a<2>, which stops both the mechanism for delivering in counted batches and the whole machine, when a sheet &c. is not fed. The mechanism h<1>, h<2> for operating the circular delivery table c'is released by ratchet - operated devices g, g<2>, g<3> every time a given number of sheets &c, are fed through. Envelopes may be fed through by a pusher a<2> engaging the flaps. The feeler b<1> is raised by links e<2>, d<4>, d<2> and the bellcrank lever d at every revolution of the cam b<4> into the path of the sheets fed. If a sheet is fed, the tail e' of the lever b<1> tilts the lever f and the pawl f which is pivoted to the end of the lever d, so that it engages with the ratchet-wheel f<7> and operates a cam plate by which after a given number of operations, the lever g<3> is tilted to allow the bell-crank h<1> to swing and thereby shift the table c<1> one step round. If a sheet is not present when the feeler b<1> is raised, the pawl f<4> is not tilted into engagement with the ratchet-wheel f<7> and a tail i on the link f is left between a stud i<1> on the lever d and the arm of a bell-crank lever j, which is thus depressed on the return stroke of the lever d and operates the machine - stopping mechanism. The slotted link f is normally upheld by a leaf spring i<3>.

Abstract: 1175. Childs, J. G., and Hill, T. S. Jan. 16. Regulating.-For controlling the position and operation of a wind-mill with respect to the direction and velocity of the wind, two or more separate vanes are provided at least one of which is pivoted on a horizontal axis. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, three vanes d, e, f are used for controlling the wheel a, the shaft b of which is mounted eccentrically of the post c. The vanes are mounted on a frame made up of members g, h, the vane e being fixed and the vanes d, f mounted on horizontal shafts k, m interconnected by bevel segments n, o. The vanes are not pivoted centrally, the shaft being nearer the top of the vane d and the bottom of the vane f, and the vanes are kept normally vertical by a counterweight q adjustable on a crank r attached to the shaft m, by springs or by their own weight. Means are also provided for rotating the vanes from the base of the tower. The vanes hanging vertically bring the wheel into the wind, but, if the wind increases so that the wheel gives more power than required, the pivoted vanes tilt and the wheel becomes governed to a greater extent by the vane e, which, acting alone, will bring the wheel out of the wind. The vane f may be centrally pivoted or may be omitted, and the vane e may be pivoted and connected to the vane d so that they always move at right-angles. The vanes d, e are arranged to counterbalance one another and the torque resulting from the eccentric mounting, or the reaction of the vertical power shaft. The vanes, instead of being built in one piece, may consist of a frame s mounted on a hollow shaft t and carrying slats u pivoted unsymmetrically thereto and controlled by cranks v joined to a rod w operated through a crank x on a rod y passing through the shaft t. Two small vanes projecting at angles of about 20 degrees on each side of the plane of the wheel would then be sufficient
