Abstract: 283. Davis, W. J. Jan. 4. Regulating head of liquid directly; cartridges of materials. - In an acetylene - generator of the automatic type, a carbide-holder of the known construction hereinafter referred to is provided with a gastap so that entrance of water and consequent generation of gas can be avoided when the holder is placed in the generator. The holder comprises a tubular container 4, Fig. 3, the ends of which are closed by loose disks 5, and a central tube 8 for the entrance of water from below and also serving for securing the parts of the holder together. In the construction shown the gas tap 11, Fig. 1, is carried by a part 12 screwed to the central tube 8 and acting as securing-means for the parts of the holder. As before stated, water enters the lower open end of the tube 8, passes into a smaller tube 14, and overflows from the top of this tube and reaches the carbide through holes 9 in the central tube 8. Gas escapes through holes 10 at the upper end of the central tube, and passes away through the tap 11 and a length of flexible tube 'to the purifying- chamber 17 placed below the burner. The invention may be applied to generators separate from the lamps, or as is shown in the Figures, to combined lamps and generators such as are used in motor cars.

Granted: 1914-04-27
Abstract: 9789. Akt.-Ges. f³r Selas Beleuchtung. April 25, 1912, [Convention date]. Pressure - regulating valves. - An hydraulic regulator for use with a compressor adapted to compress a single gas or mixture of gases is actuated by the difference between the inlet and outlet pressures acting on separate surfaces of a single liquid, and is arranged to throttle the supply and to by-pass the excess pressure when the outlet pressure becomes excessive. The apparatus comprises two chambers A, B connected by submerged passages n, and by a by-pass passage b normally sealed by a liquid, such as oil, oil and water, glycerine, molasses, or mercury. The inlet pipes are arranged in the chamber A beneath ported hoods g adjustably secured to the casing and fitted with adjustable sleeves h for varying the size of the ports. Surging of the liquid around the ports is prevented by means of a float, which may be fitted with a valve adapted to close the inlet when the compressor is not working. In a modification, the ends of the inlet pipes are turned over and provided with ports.

Granted: 1914-06-23
Abstract: 14,520. Reddie, L. N., [Explosions-Turbine-Studien Ges.]. June 23. Oils for burning; lubricants for machinery.- A liquid fuel for an internal-combustion engine comprises an emulsion made by stirring together a liquid hydrocarbon and another liquid that is not soluble in it, such as water or alcohol. The emulsion may be made just before it is used cold in the carburettor of an engine, or it. may be rendered permanent by adding to it some such substances as soap, alkalies, particularly sodium, ammonium or calcium hydrate, or sodium carbonate, milk, and rubber solution. A fuel that is mixed as it is used comprises soft soap dissolved in water and added to crude naphtha; to this mixture, petroleum is added by drops or in a thin stream, with continuous stirring. Another mixture comprises gas tar, benzol, soap, water, alcohol, and petroleum. The petroleum makes the emulsion a good lubricant. A typical permanent emulsion comprises crude naphtha, crude petroleum, water, and soap, preferably an oleic acid soap, which may be formed from oleic acid in the oil mixture by the addition to it of caustic soda or ammonia. The addition of flowers of sulphur improves the lubricating and cooling properties of the composition.

Abstract: 25,692. Horstmann, S. A. Nov. 10. Interlocking and guarding against wrong movements.-The sliding rods i, j of the changespeed gear are controlled by a hand-lever working in a gate, the sliding and rotary movement of the lever being converted into sliding and rotary movements, respectively, of a rod a. This rod carries a pin b which works in a slot e in a pivoted interlocking plate d and engages in the neutral position with jaws g, h formed on the rods i, j. Thus, when the rod a is rotated, one of the jaws is released and the other is fully engaged by the pin b. The rods i, j carry pins k, m, which work in T-slots in the plate d, which is pivoted at e. Thus, in the position shown, the pin m and the rod are locked by the slot n, while the pin k and rod i are free to be moved in either direction by the rod a. When the rod a is rotated to engage the jaw h, the plate d is rotated, and so releases the pin m and locks the pin j.
