Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 25,324. Woodland, W. April 29, 1910. Two-stroke-cycle engines.-In an engine using a supplementary charging and scavenging piston A, which is forced downwards at the end of each working stroke by the action of a spring L and returned by the main piston, concussion is prevented, on the engagement of the pistons, by a slight inward movement given to the piston A by a cam N at the commencement of the return stroke of the main piston. During the out-stroke of the piston A, a charge is induced through a valve E, being finally transferred through a port F and non-return valve G to the space between the pistons.

Abstract: 2406. Bouffler, O. C. Jan. 31. Steering.-Handle-bars for cycles, aeroplanes, &c. of the type which are movable under the action of one or more shock-absorbing springs, are provided with a ratchet or like device so arranged as to permit free depression of the handles from one to another of a series of different positions corresponding to the number of teeth in the ratchet. The handle-bars may be connected by a rod g and controlled by a spring l, or each bar may be independently movable and be provided with a separate rod and spring.

Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 28,736. Crossley, G. Dec. 10. Fire-proof shutters; fires, preventing and minimizing in connexion with doors.-Fire-resisting shutters or doors are built up of hollow or solid strips of metal, in two or more layers, with or without asbestos layers between, the shutters being enclosed at the edges in channel metal frames K. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, the shutter is built up of two layers of interlocking hollow metal strips, with strips of asbestos H. Figs. 6 and 7 show a shutter built up of two layers of hollow strips with a layer H of asbestos interposed between, the strips in each layer being at right-angles to one another, and at 45 degress to the sides of the shutter. Rivets E are first secured to the asbestos layer H and hinge bands L, and the hollow strips C are then slid lengthways into position between the asbestos H and washers D carried by the rivets. Instead of rivets and washers, bolts or solid or hollow flanged metal blocks may be used. The layers of strips may be parallel with the edges of the shutter or instead of being at an angle may be parallel with each other. Fig. 19 shows a shutter built up of three layers of solid metal strips J with asbestos H between, the central layer being arranged to break joint with the outer layers. The rivets E pass through the strips of the central layer and between the strips of the outer layers. The means securing the strips in all cases ensures free longitudinal expansion of the strips. The shutter or door is automatically held close against its frame during a fire by a hinged slotted flap O, which is mounted in a casing N on the frame and is forced out into engagement with a projection P on the door Q by a spring R, which is released by the fusing of a link S.
