Abstract: 20,727. Still & Sons, W. M., and Still, E. H. Sept. 13. [Cognate Application, 28,819/13.] Storing under pressure.-In gas lighting- systems for railway carriages, in which compressed-gas containers a are provided with ball or other valves which open for filling purposes, allow gas to pass in sufficient quantity to supply the burners, and close when the high-pressure pipes c connecting the containers with the usual filling-valves e are broken, means are provided whereby the containers may be emptied without interfering with the ball or other valves which, at the time, may be closed, and also means whereby a valve may be re-opened after accidental or other closure, by equalizing the pressure on opposite sides of it. In the form shown, the ball valve 4 is located in a cage 5 screwed into a casing 1 at the end which is attached to a container (not shown). The valve is prevented from closing during the filling of the container by a cross pin or grid 6, but closes against a seating 3 when the pressure on the filling side suddenly decreases. A screw-down valve 10, provided in accordance with the invention, then permits the container to be emptied. The valve 10 is arranged in a by-pass between opposite sides of the ball valve when the ball valve is required to be re-opened. Further, an additional screw-down valve may be located between the ball valve and the container. Instead of furnishing the by-pass with a screwdown valve 10, non-return valves g, h may be used for the filling - valves, or in addition thereto.

Abstract: 26,252. Casella & Co., C. F., and Abraham, R. M. Nov. 15. Selective punching machines.-Relates to machines for perforating strips in dot-and-dash codes for controlling signalling and telegraphic apparatus, and of the kind wherein three keys a, b, c are provided for operating the dot-punch .s, the spacing-mechanism, and the dash-punch t respectively, and wherein the strip x is fed through three different distances according to which key is depressed, and consists in arranging the punches one before the other in the direction of movement of the strip and spaced apart by a distance equal to the normal spacing between the perforations, and of special means for effecting the variable feed. Both keys a, b actuate a lever k which actuates the punch s, and the key c actuates the lever of the punch t. The feed-drum z is pressed down by a spring spider 17 and is turned by a ratchetwheel actuated by either of two pawls 19, 20 carried by arms secured to the punches s, t respectively. Fixed pins 31, 32 throw the pawls out of engagement with the ratchet-wheel at such points that the strip is fed through two units of length when the dot-punch is actuated, and through four units when the dash-punch is actuated. When the space-key b is depressed, it is stopped when the punch s has moved just far enough to feed the strip through one unit of length, but not far enough to perforate the strip. The space between the two punches is one unit in length. When the key a is depressed, the pawl 19 feeds the strip before the punch s reaches it, and when the key c is depressed, the strip is not fed until after the punch t has perforated it. An adjustable spring 6 and a roller 9 carried by a spring- controlled arm 10 keep the strip in contact with the feed-drum. The levers k, l are depressed by adjustable disks f on the key-stems, and are raised by disks g controlled by springs h. The punchings fall through a shoot 14 into the base of the machine. According to modifications, the space-key may actuate a separate lever for turning the feed-drum, any type of mechanism may be substituted. for the feeddrum, the keys and punches may be arranged in different orders, and the ratio between the different feeds may vary.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Arrangements for Keeping Toy Sailing Boats Approximately on their Course and Making them Veer at a Given Moment.
Inventor: MACE JULES
IPC: A63H23/04
Filed: 1914-04-25
Granted: 1914-09-10
Abstract: 10,244. MacÚ, J. April 25. Boats.-Relates to an automatic apparatus for toy sailing-boats to enable them to follow a predetermined course and to veer at a given moment. The boom 5 is connected by a sheet 7 to an auxiliary spar 6, which is in turn connected by a sheet 8 to the forked tiller 3. Attached to the tiller is a blade spring 9 normally held between two studs 11 on a shaft 12, an arm 14 on which is engaged by a blade spring 15 secured to the deck of the boat and supported on a plunger 17, which rests on a soluble tablet 18. The tension of the spring 9 is adjusted by sliders 13 on the tiller. In operation, assuming the wind on the port side and the sails set for running free, the spring. 9 holds the tiller but allows the rudder to assume a position to oppose a luffing movement caused by a momentary increase in the force of the wind. After a time, the tablet 18 dissolves, and the piston 17 falls, allowing the shaft 12 to turn and release the spring 9. The boat can no longer steer while receiving the wind on the port side, and so turns, the boom 5 bears against the spar 6 and the two swing over together, the sheet 7 ceasing to act, and the sheet 8 holding the sail while running to windward. In this position, the traction of the sheet 8 on the spar causes the spring 9 to abut against a pin 20 driven into the deck to the right or left of the spring as required, so maintaining the rudder in the middle position. The spring 15 may be controlled by clock-work instead of by the soluble tablet.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: RICARDO HARRY RALPH
IPC: F02M69/00
Filed: 1915-02-19
Abstract: 2725. Ricardo, H. R. Feb. 19. Cycles and systems of working; cylinders, construction of and cooling.-An internal-combustion engine works with a cycle in which (i) during the early part of the suction stroke rich mixture is supplied to a cooled pocket connected to the combustion space, (ii) when the piston has performed fifteen to twenty per cent of its stroke pure air is admitted to the cylinder during the remainder of the suction stroke the admission of the air so far reducing the suction effect that the fuel valve closes forthwith, and (iii) after' the compression stroke, the charge is ignited by means situated in the pocket. The amount of mixture is such as not greatly to overflow from the pocket, and governing is effected by controlling the amount or quality of mixture admitted to the pocket. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the water-cooled pocket G is connected to the combustion space B by a short passage F, constricted at F', and a rich mixture enters the pocket through a spring-closed valve H in quantity controlled by a throttle valve J. The valve H remains open until the piston has made 15 to 20 per cent of its stroke, whereupon the air valve C is positively opened, admitting pure air to the cylinder and allowing the spring H<1> to close the valve H. After the compression, the charge in the pocket is fired by a sparking plug at K. The high temperature gases on issuing from the pocket do not impinge directly on the piston owing to the interposed body of relatively cool air. In an alternative construction the fuel inlet valve is collinear with the passage F on the cylinder axis, and the exhaust and air inlet valves D, C are arranged obliquely to this axis instead of being normal thereto as shown in Fig. 1. The pocket may contain a heat-retaining metal sleeve to assist in vaporizing heavy fuels. In a two-stroke-cycle engine means may be provided for forcing the fuel or mixtureinto the pocket, and the air may be introduced into the cylinder under pressure, as by means of a pump.
