Title: Improvements relating to Oil and similar Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: PARNACOTT ALFRED EDMUND
Filed: 1904-07-27
Granted: 1905-10-27
Abstract: 16,597. Parnacott, A. E. July 27. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting and governing m, and valves for. Fig. 1 shows one form of carburetter for an oil engine for a motor car which consists of two chambers a, a' separated by a partition b in which is a throttle valve b<1>, the lift of which is controlled by a cam adjusted in position by a lever d' by hand or automatically by the governor. The partition b<1> is held in place by a spider b<2> and a spring so as to yield in event of a back-fire. To the throttle valve is secured the oil valve c. The air inlets a' may be protected from draughts by a cylindrical hood to which warm air may be supplied from the proximity of the jacket B<3>. From the carburetter the air passes into the receiver B, in which it deposits dust and other impurities and in which it is heated by the jacket. The exhaust enters the jacket at B<4> and escapes through a ring of holes B<5>. The jacket may have the cooling-water circulated in it instead of the exhaust. The openings B<6> from the carburetter are formed so that the air flows round the walls of the receiver, which may be roughened by a coating of wire gauze or by helical wires or pipes, in which latter the exhaust or cooling-water or the liquid fuel may circulate. The receiver is closed below by a spring plug which allows of cleaning and yields in event of a back-fire. Should a considerable quantity of oil collect, it is removed by a drain pipe x. This receiving and separating chamber may be used with any form of carburetter, and may, as shown in Fig. 12, have a chamber Bx to give the air a whirling motion before entering by the apertures B'. Fig. 9 shows another carburetter. The air entering at ax flows through openings f in a baffle f<1>, over a helical pipe f through which the exhaust or cooling-water circulates. The fuel is supplied by a pipe f<4> in the interior of the heating-coil. The pipe f<4> may also pass through the heating-jacket B<3> as shown in Fig. 12. The branch a<0> is connected to the engine or to the separator described above. Figs. 7 and 8 show a device for restraining the movement of the governor. The balls are controlled by a spring e', and the range of movement of the sleeve e<0> is varied by moving a stop e<5> by means of a hand lever e' and rod e<x>. This rod is attached to the stop by the spring device shown in Fig. 8 which yields somewhat when the sleeve e<0> strikes the stop. The inlet valves of the engine may have the tension of their springs varied in accordance with the amount of opening allowed to the throttle and fuel valves, or to suit the time of firing. By the device shown in Fig. 17, the compression of the spring g is increased as the opening allowed to the throttle valve is reduced, so that, at high speeds, the inlet valve is less easily opened.

Granted: 1904-11-17
Abstract: 18,764. Beard, A. J. Sept. 2, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Couplings, automatic.-An automatic coupling of the twin-jaw type is provided with a curved locking-piece which moves freely within a chamber in the head of the draw-bar. Figs. 3 and 4 show horizontal sections of the coupling in different positions, and Figs. 6 and 7 show sections taken on the plane 6-7, Fig. 3. The head 1, pivoted to the draw-bar 10 by the pin 9, carries a pivoted knuckle 5, of which the tail-piece 4 is formed with a wedgeshaped extremity 28 and a flat intermediate part 27. Within the head is a chamber 8 with a curved top, and in this chamber moves a locking piece 16 which is constructed, preferably, of a tail-piece 17 separate from the locking-block 18 to facilitate insertion into the chamber, the tail piece 17 and the locking- block being atterwards secured together rigidly by a pin 19. When two vehicles, with the locking- piece in the position shown in Fig. 7, are brought iuto contact, the flat part 27 of one knuckle strikes the tail piece 17 and moves it and the lockiogblock 18 round the curved top of the chamber 8 until the locking-block falls behind the knuckle and locks it in position. When coupling occurs with the locking-piece in the position shown in Fig. 6, the wedge-shaped extremity 28 first raises the locking-block 18, which afterwards falls behind the knuckle. The extremity 28 is shaped to avoid contact with the tail-piece 17 and to lie in a recess 29. The position of the locking-piece can be controlled by hand by means of a rod 22. The head 1 is pivoted to the draw-bar 10 so that the pressure is taken by the curved surfaces 13 instead of by the pin 9. In a modification, the tail-piece and the locking-block of the locking-piece are formed in one piece.

Abstract: 25,527. Koppers, H. Nov. 23. Coking.-In coke ovens provided with vertical heating-flues and air and gas supply from below, the heating-fines a, Fig. 1, are relatively fixed or anchored by the abutment or support g, which directly covers the flues. The support g is provided over each flue, preferably axially, with passages h, which may be adjustable by means of registers i. The products of combustion escape from the flues through the passages h into a horizontal passage k, and thence to a descending shaft l and into the chimney. The air passages d, Fig. 3, preferably run along below the coke chambers and communicate with chambers f surrounding the gas nozzles c. Passages n, closed by covers m, allow access to the nozzles. The nozzle c is disposed centrally in a conicallyflared nozzle stone, the outlet of which is of the smallest diameter allowing withdrawal of the nozzle. The furnace shown in Fig. 1 is adapted for the recovery of the byeproducts. The furnace shown in Fig. 5 is arranged for heating by the gases from the coke chambers, or by air and gas supply from below for recovery of the bye-products. The heating-flues a are divided into two groups by means of slides o. The flues of the one group receive the coke gases through passages q, and also air through a connection p, the passage k, and the passages h. The flues of the other group conduct the gases to the chimney. Communication apertures in the flue walls serve to regularize the gas production in the separate coke chambers. Cover plates r protect the nozzles c &c. A portion of the burnt gases may be drawn into the chimney through an opening t. In order to prevent displacements by expansion from heat, transverse joints of sufficient width are provided in the separate courses, so that horizontal displacement of the bond is permitted. Reference is made to Specifications No. 23,278, A.D. 1901, and No. 18,262, A.D. 1904.

The bed 12, Fig. 3, runs upon ways on the frame 10. and carries a rack 16 with which engages a pinion 15 on the shaft 13, 14. The rack 16 carries a fixed stud 47 and a semicircular shoe 48, between which a pin on the pinion 15 is directed to carry the pinion from one side of the rack to the other. The bed 12 carries two cylinders 17, 18, Fig. 4, provided at their inner ends with inwardlyopening flap valves 19, 20, which cylinders receive, at each end of the travel of the bed, pistons 21, 22, supported on the end frames 25 by hollow pistonrods 23, 24. The cylinders 17, 18 are respectively in communication, by way of the hollow pistonrods and pipes 26, 27, with chambers 28, 29 in a cylinder 30, Fig. 2, secured to the machine framing. The chambers 28, 29 are provided at the bottom with two relief valves 32, 33, which are alternately lifted at certain periods to relieve the pressure in the cylinders 17, 18 by arms 34, 35 on a rock-shaft 50 supported in bearings in the cylinder 30. The shaft 50 carries a spring-controlled lever 41, provided with a roller 40, which engages with the periphery of a cam 36, on a shaft 38 driven by gearing from the driving-shaft. The cam 36 is so arranged that at each end of the travel of the bed, just as the driving-mechanism begins to retard its motion, the corresponding valve 32, 33 is opened to relieve the pressure in the cylinder 17 or 18, thus preventing increase of pressure due to further compression of air in the cylinder, and consequent shock to the driving - mechanism. The air escapes from the chambers 28, 29 through perforated baffle-plates 51. The cam 36 may be so arranged that the escape of air may be perfectly free during the final travel of the bed, or may be restricted, or that the opening of the valve may be only momentary, leaving sufficient air in the cylinder to assist in reversing the bed.
