Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 14,091. White, F. R. June 18. Gas and like engines.-Twostroke-cycle engines having supplementary charging and compressing piston in the combustion chamber draw in and compress their combustible charges to ignition pressure while the power piston remains almost stationary. The adjustable charging-piston 10 is driven from the crank-shaft 12 by intermittent gearing 17, 18, the gear-wheels 17 of which engage with toothed segments on the fly-wheels 18, and make one revolution for each revolution of the crank-shaft. The toothed segments on the wheels 18 occupy one-eighth of the circumference. During the working-stroke, and almost until the completion of the exhaust stroke of the piston 11, the charging - piston remained stationary ; it then rapidly draws in and compresses a charge, which ignites by the heat of compression. Exhaust ports are provided at both ends of the combustion space, the upper port being controlled by an adjustable oscillating valve actuated from the crankshaft. The valve spindle 25 has a ball-end which engages with a hood on the valve lever 28. Ribs are formed on the cylinder for cooling purposes.

Abstract: 15,245. Cortez, J. J. de M. July 18. Printing-surfaces ; printing in several colours ; embossing. - Relates to means for printing and embossing maps. A photographic negative is first taken of the original showing the altitude curves, and from this negative two zinc plates are formed, one containing everything in the original and the other with the altitude curves omitted. Reference holes are bored at each corner and through points corresponding to the altitude curves on each plate. A number of sheets of thin metal, one for each curve, covered on one side with paper and provided with the same reference holes, are impressed against the first zinc plate. The plates thus printed are cut along the corresponding curve. The sheets thus formed, after being freed from paper, are superposed on a base-plate and nailed together, thus forming the bottom die. The second zinc plate is then covered on its smooth side with a sheet of paper, and an impression made from the first zinc plate in register with the design on the other side. This plate is then cut up along the curves, and each curve after having been cleaned is secured on a separate thin metal sheet, provided at the corners with the usual reference holes. Each metal sheet with its curve is then fixed on to a sheet of cardboard, the centre of both the metal sheet and the cardboard being then hollowed out to accommodate the relief of the bottom die. The relief die is then covered with a sheet of filterpaper and upon this the paper to be printed is placed, both being shaped to the contour of the die by a wet sponge. The supplementary curves obtained from the cutting of the curves for the relief die are then superposed, and the whole is subjected to pressure. The first zinc curve with its backing of metal and cardboard is then inked, laid upon the relief thus produced, and subjected to pressure. This curve is removed, a corresponding curve of filter-paper inserted in its place, and an impression is taken from the remaining inked curves in succession.
