Patent GB-190704818-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Reversible Petroleum and Compressed Air Motor.
Inventor: BERLIET MARIUS
Filed: 1907-02-27
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 4818. Berliet, M. Feb. 27. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-Relates to the motor described in Specification No. 27,163, A.D. 1905, and consists in providing means for working expansively with compressed air when desired as well as with the full admission period corresponding to a crank angle of 134 degrees. The single axiallyadjustable cam shaft of the six-cylinder motor has two adjustable cams for each of the three cylinders worked by compressed air, namely the cams 25<1>, 26<1>, 27<1> for forward running and the cams 28', 29', 30<1> for reverse running. The lever 31 controlling the cam shaft has five positions. With the lever in mid-position the six cylinders drive forward with petrol. For starting, or when extra power is required, the lever is moved to 31<a>; the cylinders 1, 3, 5 drive forward with petrol and the cylinders 2, 4, 6 drive forward with full admission of compressed air. For reversing, the lever is moved to 31<b>; the cylinders 1, 3, 5 are idle and the cylinders 2, 4, 6 drive backward with full admission of compressed air. In driving forward or backward with compressed air, the power can be reduced and the air used expansively by moving the lever to its extreme position 31<c> or 31<d>. The motor operates normally on the four stroke cycle, but the cams for admission and exhaust of compressed air lift the valves twice during each revolution of the cam shaft.

Inventor: FINKLER DITTMAR
Filed: 1907-10-08
Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 22,195. Finkler, D. Oct. 8. Processes of treating grain, pulse, &c.-In order to render the bran suitable for food, grain, pulse, or other seed, or separated bran is treated to rupture the glutinous cells and set free the digestible albumen and starch. The methods of effecting this are as follows. (1) The grain is treated with water, common salt, or lime water until the gluten cells adhere and are torn to pieces during the subsequent grinding, beating, or rubbing in a mortar, in a ball mill, between rollers, or by other apparatus. A solution of sulphate or carbonate of lime or a mixture of different liquids may be used. (2) The bran is saturated with water, and is then frozen and pulverized. (3) The grain is ground dry with a sharp substance such as rock-salt, which is afterwards dissolved out. Or, to avoid introducing foreign substances such as glass or sand, such bodies as glue, gelatine, or dried gluten may be used. (4) A hard adhesive substance such as gluten, glue, or dextrin is applied in solution, and the grain &c. is dried slowly and then ground. In the wet processes, the material may either be used at once by baking or mixing with dough, or dried and converted into flour.

Abstract: 4176. Hipkins, W. E., and Burrows, J. J. Feb. 20. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to an automatic - feed weigher for weighing liquids, semi-liquids, or similar flowing substances, such as cement, powder, &c., and consists in a modified weighing-receptacle and a pivoted catch to free and lock the same. The weighing-receptacle, Fig. 3, is provided with a supplementary compartment j with two orifices j<1>, j<4> and an adjustable outlet j<3>, which is smaller than the orifice j<1>. When the requisite' weight has been supplied through a sliding valve g, Fig. 1, the descent of the weighing-receptacle brings the lower end of a pivoted catch h against a stationary stop k. The catch is thus raised and releases a pin l on the weighing-receptacle, which thereupon rotates on spindles d<1> and discharges the contents into a tank i. A plate d<2>, Fig. 3, directs a portion of the contents into the supplementary compartment j and the weight of material in this compartment retains. the weighing-receptacle in an inverted position sufficiently long to ensure effective drainage. Any residue remaining in the compartment j after the receptacle has righted itself is dis-. charged through the outlet j<4>.

Fig. 1 shows a portion of a railway track having rails 1 under which are placed electro-magnets 5, energized by current supplied by wires 9 and controlled from the signal box 3. The rails are insulated at 18, and when it is desired to stop a train they are magnetized to attract the brakes 13, which are vertically movable in guides 15 under the action of spring 17. The magnets are energized and the signal is set at danger by the operation of the same lever in the box. Contact points may be provided for the movable portions of the switch rails so that the magnets 5 are energized when either end of the switch 2 is opened.

Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 24,406. Routh, W. P. Oct. 23. Presses with rotary plungers for moulding flowerpots &c. A machine for moulding flower-pots &c. from plastic clay consists of a standard h, carrying a fixed mould a and a bearing i, in which a spindle d, arranged axially in line with the mould and carrying an eccentrically-mounted former or core c, is reciprocated by means of a sleeve i<1>, which slides on guides j on the standard h, and is actuated through a link k, crank-disk l, bevel and wormgearing l<2>, and belt gearing connecting the pulleys l<3>, m<1>. The spindle d carrying the core c is rotated by belt gearing connecting the pulleys m, d'. A spring i<2> is interposed between the link k and sleeve i<1> so as to cause the core to remain at the bottom of the mould long enough to make several revolutions before commencing its upward movement. As the core ascends, the bottom b of the mould is raised to eject the moulded article by a camp driven by the crank-disk l. The bottom b is provided with a conical projection q fitting in a recess r in the bottom of the core to hold the parts centred in correct position during the actual moulding-operation. In order to prevent the formation of a fin round the top of the flower-pot &c., the upper edge of the mould is formed with a knife-edge e, Fig. 3, and a flange c<1> at the top of the core, concentric with the spindle d, is provided with a cutting- device, which may consist of a knife f secured in position by a pin f<1>, or a wire secured by two screws on the upper surface of the flange c<1> and passing through grooves. in the edge of the flange and across a pin depending from the under surface of the flange. The Provisional Specification states that, to prevent injury to the operator, the core and knives may be connected to the spindle in such a manner that the knives are raised until the lower end of each is protected by the top of the core before the core is withdrawn from the mould.
