Inventor: SOMMER ROGER
IPC: B64C13/00
Filed: 1912-11-15
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 26,304. Sommer, R. Aug. 22, [Convention date]. Steering and balancing.-A hand-lever a, operating an elevator b through crossed cords c, d, carries a disk e having a slot engaged by a pin i on a longitudinally displaceable rod j actuating an auxiliary elevator o. The slot is so shaped that, during the first part of the movement of the lever in either direction, the rod j is unaffected, but further movement of the lever actuates the rod to increase or decrease the incidence of the plane o. A multiplying-gear may be arranged between the lever and the disks to increase the movement of the disks. In a modified form, the radius of the slot in the disks e increases progressively from the lower to the upper end, and the plane b may be dispensed with or pivoted to the front edge of the plane o.

Title: Spray-carburettor for Motor Cars.
Inventor: GEHRMANN PAUL
IPC: F02M19/08
Filed: 1912-11-20
Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 26,644. Gehrmann, P. Nov. 20. Spray carburettors.-The carburettor embodies, among other details, an arrangement of ball valves for controlling the primary and secondary air, a divided throttle valve for the mixture, and a float feed-apparatus having an adjustable valve for admitting fuel to the float chamber. The secondary air passes through a ring of ball valves 6 in a rotatable sleeve 5 on the carburettor body. By rotating the ring, the passage of this air through the openings 13 may be controlled. Part of the primary air supply passes through a passage 22 around the nozzle, and a part past ball valves 20. The throttle 10 has a separate flap 25, Fig. 3, which is secured to the spindle 24 and opens before the main part of the throttle moves. The latter is formed with a sleeve 26 loosely mounted on the sleeve 27 of the flap, the pins 28 which secure the flap to the spindle passing through slots 30 in this sleeve 26. On opening the throttle, the flap 25 first moves, a spring 32 upon it keeping the main throttle 10 closed until the pins 28 reach the end of their travel in the slots 30, when the whole throttle opens. A cylindrical valve 57 above the throttle admits air when the throttle is closed. The annular float 35 depresses the valve spindle 37 through two curved levers, pivoted in forked arms 40 on a ring 38, Fig. 6 and having ball-shaped ends 43 engaging a groove in a sleeve 39 upon the spindle 37. This sleeve may be adjusted vertically on the spindle by means of a screwed rod 49 and spring 43, in order to adjust the valve.

Inventor: SERVAIS EMMANUEL
IPC: C10J3/08
Filed: 1913-01-22
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 1854. Servais, E. Jan. 22. Producers.-In a gasproducer, the charge is cooled above the tuyeres 8 to a temperature below that at which slag is formed, by the introduction of steam or other vapour or gas, the decomposition of which absorbs heat, through nozzles 6. The slag pan c is heated by the combustion in a chamber 13 of gases introduced by a pipe 14, the combustion products escaping by an outlet 16 to a chimney. The air admitted by the tuyeres 8 passes through a heater 17 and is directed downwards on to the slag in the pan c and in a direction tangential to a circle within the producer, the steam also being admitted tangentially. The fuel may be employed in a divided condition without the necessity of briquetting, milk of lime being supplied to the charge. A flux such as blastfurnace slag, the composition of which comprises lime, alumina, silica, &c., may be used.

Abstract: 14,557. Broom, K. S. June 24. Wheel guards and obstruction-removers.- A life-guard for motor-vehicles is lowered by springs when released by the rearward movement of a trip gate or by the driver, and is locked in the lowered position. Hinged spring- controlled side guards J, Fig. 6, with outwardlymovable lower flaps J<1> and internal rollers J<2>, are mounted in the sides of the device so as to yield when pressed against by the steering- wheels. The guard C slides in a frame A, adjustably hung from the vehicle by hooks E' and stays E, so that the height of the guard may be altered. The guard is held up in the frame by a gate A<1>, hinged to ears A<2> and bearing under the top rail C<1> of the guard. The bottom end C' of the gate is rule-jointed so as to yield when the guard is released. On release, the guard shoots forwards under the pull of chains D and springs D<2>. Ratchet bars F lock the guard in the operative position. Brackets H' strike springs K' and lessen the jar as the guard falls. The guard is raised by chains G<2> and a roller G<1>, which may be locked by a detent and ratchet to prevent the guard from being lowered. Rollers K, carried by vertically-movable spring-controlled rods. protect the guard from damage when the kerb is struck. The front edge of the guard is made of flexible steel, and the guard as a whole is covered with copper. The guard may be released by means of a cord B<2> operated by the driver to swing back the gate.

Abstract: 11,660. Ray, A. J. May 12. Valves; valve-gear.-Hollow rotary conical plug valves 8 in the casings 3 are cooled by the passage of carburetted air through their interior. The charge from a primary mixing- chamber 24, Fig. 2, enters the hollow valve stems at 16, and, after circulating through the valves, passes by pipes 18 to a secondary mixing- chamber 29, and thence, together with supplementary air admitted at 44, to the inlet ports of the valve casings. The valve port is a tapered groove 13 widest at the upper end, and open at both ends to the valve chamber, which communicates at 52 with the combustion chamber. By this arrangement, the valve is balanced in its casing. The valve stem works in a tapered seating, and the valve is held down in its casing by a bar 55, Fig. 2, which bears on a washer on the flange 17 of the valve stem. The valves are driven by claw clutches. The supplementary air valve 44, and a hinged valve 36 controlling the primary air and liquid fuel entering at 30, 37, have adjustable springs.

Projectile fuses. -Relates to direct-action percussion fuses, and consists in releasing the locking- device of the firing-pin, which projects in front of the projectile, by the direct action of the pressure of the gases in the gun from which the projectile is discharged. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the firing-pin 4, provided with a head 40 and connected to the projectile by a spring 5, is locked by a distance - piece 9. until this is released, when the gun is fired, by the withdrawal of a pin 8, which is thrust forwards by another pin 7 attached to a piston 13 in a base-piece 12, 14 open to the pressure of the gun gases; the piston is normally held back by a spring 15. In a modification, the firing-pin screws into screw-threads at the front end of the socket 3 in the nose of the projectile, the spring 5 tends to screw the firing-pin into the socket and disengage the screw-threads to arm the fuse, and such rotation of the firing-pin is prevented by the pin 8 passing through a hole in a cross-pin secured to the firing-pin, Projectiles.-The projectile has a four-winged tail 2.
