Granted: 1908-01-20
Abstract: 29,055. Gunstone, A. F., and Richardson, A. Dec. 20. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. The spraying-tube a is coned externally to make a tight fit, and opens at one end to the atmosphere and at the other end into the mixing-chamber d. Fuel from the float chamber h passes through passages j, k to a circular groove e, which communicates with the tube a through jet holes f situated at different heights above the level of the fuel in the float chamber h. By this means, more jets are brought into action as the suction increases. A jacket l is provided for hot water or exhaust gases. A supplementary-air chamber n with an inlet o is provided at the base of the carburettor to supply air in a direction approximately at rightangles to the tube a. The piston b can be moved by the rod c to control both the supplementary-air supply and tte supply of mixture to the engine. The chamber n may be replaced by a perforated cap, and the piston b may also be perforated. With the above apparatus, variation in the quality of the mixture is effected without the use of valves and other operating parts between the nozzle and controlling-gear.

Title: Manufacture of Methylthiophenol-ortho-carboxylic Acid, and Derivatives thereof
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1907-01-09
Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 593. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Jan. 9. Methylthiophenol-o-carboxylic acid and its derivatives ; dyes, artificial. - Methylthiophenol-o carboxylic acid and its derivatives, in which such atoms and groups as Cl, Br, OH, SH, OCH3, OC2 H5, CH3, SCH3, SC2 H5 are substituted for hydrogen in the benzene nucleus, are manufactured by the action of methylating-agents on an alkaline solution of thiophenol-o-carboxylic acid, or of the following of its derivatives : ethylthiocarbonate of benzoic acid, o - thiocyanobenzoic acid, and phenyldithio-o-o-dicarboxylic acid. Thiophenolo-carboxylic acid may itself be first prepared by diazotizing anthranilic acid and treating with a solution of sodium sulphide. In an example, the thiophenol-o-carboxylic acid is stirred with soda-lye and dimethyl sulphate with exclusion of air, and the methylthiophenol-o-carboxylic acid produced is precipitated by a mineral acid. In another example, the solution of thiophenol - o - carboxylic acid obtained as above described is stirred with sodiummethyl-sulphate, after neutralization with sodium carbonate, and is finally heated to ebullition, the desired product being precipitated as before by a mineral acid. When using ethylthiocarbonate of benzoic acid, it is dissolved, along with caustic alkali, in alcohol, and heated to about 90-100‹ C. with methyl halide. The methylthiophenolocarboxylic acid is obtained by hydrolysis of the resulting solution. When starting from either othiocyanobenzoic acid or phenyldithio-o-o-dicarboxylic acid, it suffices to heat the parent substance for some hours with soda-lye and sodium methylsulphate, and obtain the final product by precipitation with mineral acid and recrystallization. The o-carboxylic acids produced by these methods yield a - oxythionaphthenes when heated with alkaline condensing-agents, and red dye-stuffs when heated with fuming sulphuric acid.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Discharging or Expelling Ashes and Clinkers from Ships.
Inventor: PRESTON WALTER REUBEN
Filed: 1907-09-09
Granted: 1908-12-09
Abstract: 20,107. Preston, W. R., and Ralston, G. C. Sept. 9. Ships' ashes, discharging.-Relates to apparatus of the type described in Specification No. 12,605, A.D. 1904, for discharging ashes from ships below the surface of the water. A double piston 4, Fig. 1, with a space 13 between its parts, is adapted to reciprocate in a cylinder 1 provided with inlet and outlet openings 2, 3 respectively. The ashes are expelled through the opening 3 by means of compressed air &c., the supply of which is governed by a slide valve 16 operated by a tappet rod 20 from the piston-rod 11. As the piston moves backwards towards the opening 2 for a fresh supply of ash, it uncovers a port 24 by means of which the excess of fluid pressure in the space 13 is relieved. The cylinder ends may have suitably-controlled openings 9, 10 for the admission and discharge of sea-water to remove grit in the cylinder. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, knife blades 29, 30 are provided on the piston 4 and cylinder 1, the pressure supply and exhaust valves 16, 33 respectively both being operated by a tappet 20. The piston 4 is reciprocated by a crank-shaft 25, connecting-rod 26, and cross-head 27, though an arrangement is also described which comprises a bell-crank lever operated by a reciprocating link, a projection operating the valves and the parts providing for the temporary stoppage of the piston while being charged and unloaded. In the form of the piston shown in Fig. 12, the spaces 13 alternately co-operate with a common outlet 3 ; and, as shown in Fig. 14, the inlets and outlets 2, 3 of two cylinders 1 are connected.

Title: Improvements in or in connection with Core Making and Sand Moulding Machines.
Inventor: PENLINGTON FRED
Filed: 1907-12-05
Granted: 1908-12-07
Abstract: 26,877. Penlington, F. Dec. 5. Moulding.- Leveractuated apparatus for venting and ejecting cores from core-boxes is also applicable as pattern - withdrawing apparatus. A corebox is secured in place on a table b over a plunger d and rammed; a lever h is operated to vent the core, and a lever p to raise the plunger d to eject it. The venting-rod f works inside the plunger d, which is slotted to pass the pin g which connects the rod to its lever. The plunger d has an adjustable collar t which serves to regulate the length of core produced, the plunger end acting as a false bottom to the core-box. Pivoted catches u are adapted to retain the levers in their raised positions. For withdrawing patterns, the parts f and d both carry supports to which the pattern sections are attached so that one part of the pattern may be withdrawn before the other. In a modification, the plunger d carries a platen with a number of core-ejecting plungers, and the rod f is connected to an equal number of venting-wires by connexions which pass through slots in the main plunger.

Title: Improvements in Injectors.
Inventor: GRESHAM HARRY EDWARD
Filed: 1908-01-10
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 616. Gresham, H. E. Jan. 10. Injectors; valves; overflow arrangements.-Relates to injectors in which an overflow valve is controlled by the pressure in the delivery chamber, and consists in means for effecting such control. The stem of the valve a fits in a slot in the stem b of a piston c, which is acted upon by the pressure of the delivery d. A spring g tends to keep the part c lifted while the delivery pressure would force it forward and keep the valve a seated. The movement of the part c may be limited by stops. If it is desired to allow the overflow to open when the pressure in the overflow chamber exceeds a given amount, the piston c acts upon the overflow valve through the medium of a spring. This control is illustrated in Fig. 3. An annular ring u on the valve a retains a spring q, the other end of which bears against the interior of a casing t. Pressure is transmitted to the exterior of the casing t either directly or by means of the stem b of the piston c. The annular ring u slides within or upon the casing t, and adjustable means, such as a screwed rod v connecting the two parts, is provided for limiting the movement of the valve a. Supplementary water may be admitted to the compartment k.

Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 7619. Krall, G. April 6. Openers and scutchers.-The gratings of openers, beaters, and like machines for cleaning cotton are constructed with separate bars m held at each end in an arc-shaped recess formed by a fixed part a and an adjustable part b. The first three or four bars are provided with teeth as shown. The angle of inclination of the bars m is determined by the width of the are-shaped recess, which can be decreased or increased from either end by means of adjusting- screws g, h, and fixing-screws e, f. The distance apart of the bars m is varied by using separating- bars n of varying thickness. To shorten the grating, a metal piece corresponding with the shortening is inserted between the last bar and a screw o, which holds the bars together. A piece of sheet iron q closes the opening between the wing grating and the second grating.
