Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Automatically Controlling the Supplementary Air Supply of Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BROOK EDWARD
Filed: 1908-05-26
Granted: 1909-04-22
Abstract: 11,414. Brook, E. May 26. Gas and like engines, valves for. The supplementary air-supply of au internal-combustion engine is controlled by a suction-actuated lift valve, which is arranged to increase the area of the air passage as the engine suction increases up to a certain limit, and to diminish the area of the passage when the suction rises above the limit. Fig. 1 shows one form of spring-loaded valve b having a double conical flange f on the stem. As the valve is drawn downwards by the engine suction, the airopeuing a<1> to the chamber a is gradually increased at first, and afterwards gradually ,decreased by the variation in cross-section of the flange f. Fig. 3 shows a modified form in which the valve b works in a double conical portion a<1> of the casing.

Title: Improvements in Driving-gear for Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: HACKBARTH RICHARD
Filed: 1908-12-03
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 26,119. Hackbarth, R. Dec. 3. Motor road vehicles.-The sprocket on the driving-axle of a motor road vehicle drives the wheels through the medium of rods sliding in grooves on the axle and having bevelled ends, which rods are automatically thrown out of gear with one wheel to allow overrunning on turning, when travelling either forwards or backwards. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the rods b are arranged to slide in grooves on the axle a, and are connected together by collars d arranged on either side of the sprocket f; springs are arranged between the boss of the sprocket and the collars. The ends of the rods are bevelled as shown, and normally engage holes in each wheel hub to the same extent. On turning a corner, one wheel tends to travel faster and forces the ends of the rods out of engagement with the one wheel hub, thus permitting overrunning. In Fig. 3, the wheels are fixed to hollow sleeves terminating in flanges l, l<1> at the sprocket. The rods are short and are arranged at the centre of the axle, passing through the sprocket-wheel and through holes in the flanges l, l<1>. Collars d are fixed on the hollow axles and springs are arranged between such collars and sliding rings p. On turning a corner, one of the flanges l, l<1> forces the rods b against one of the rings p, compressing the corresponding spring.

Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 6658. Ochsner, J. March 24, 1908, [Convention date]. Vehicle fittings and attachments; cover of receptacle interconnected with load - handling means. - A dustcart for discharging refuse directly into refuse destructors has two horizontal rails 1, on which rest boxes or bins 3 running on wheels 2. The lower part of the bins depends between the rails 1, and the upper part is widened out laterally without the formation of ledges. The front bin has a driver's seat 7 and is not so deep as the other bins. Each bin has a sliding bottom 4 provided with a projecting nose or hook 5. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), describes also means for discharging the bins directly into destructors. Each bin is deposited upon a platform so that a hook upon it engages over a projection on the sliding cover of the feed-shaft of the destructor. A locking-pin is then removed from the cover, and the bin is drawn forward. The bottom 4 is retained by the depending piece 5 abutting against the edge of the platform while the cover is simultaneously removed. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 27,667. Adams, A. L., and Roberts, W. G. Nov. 30, 1908. Cameras, reflex. - In order to show on the focusing-screen of a reflex camera the horizontal or vertical picture, according to whichever is being taken, two pivoted blades or masking-devices are pivoted at opposite corners of the screen and moved so as to mask either pair of the opposite sides of the focusing-screen, and may further be adapted in combination with a revolving back so as to be automatically adjusted according to the position of the revolving back. The blades 52, 53, Fig. 4, are pivoted at opposite corners 56, 56<a> of the focusing-screen, and are connected by links 57, 57<a> and the crank-arm 58. The blades are moved by sliding one of the links 57. A lever 63 pivoted on the side of the camera moves a forked bracket 61, Fig. 5, on the same pivot, which engages a pin 60 of a bracket 59 on the link 57. The two arms 61a, 61<b> are connected by a sufficiently strong spring 61<c>. The blades are normally retained in one position by a spring 65 acting on an extension arm 64 of the bracket 61 and arm 63. When a revolving back is rotated to a position at right-angles, its upper edge will raise the lever 63, and automatically change the position of the blades.

Title: An Electrical Transmitting Printing Indicating and Recording Apparatus.
Inventor: QUERTIER HILARY
Filed: 1910-08-23
Granted: 1911-08-23
Abstract: 19,703. Quertier, H. Aug. 23. Order apparatus.-In a system in which a number of orders can be sent from different places, the receiving-apparatus consists of two type-bearing drums which are rotated to bring the type of the required order and the place of origin into position to be printed. There is a separate solenoid 20 round the drum 2 for each order, and one round the drum 3 for each transmitting - station. The actuating - circuit also includes the solenoids 16, which operate the printing-table. When an impulse is received, the first movement of the armature 18 of the solenoids 16 actuates the arms 10, 11, which by means of the spring 14, rotate the corresponding drum. The drum is held in the required position by the stop 22 engaging with a projection 21 on the core of the energized solenoid, and the further movement of the arms 10, 11 presses the paper on the printing-table 9 against the die 8. On the return movement of the arms 11, the printed strip of paper is cut off by the knives 34, 35, and falls through the aperture 36. The paper is fed from the drum 24 by means of a one-direction ratchet drive actuated from the arm 11. The drum 25 may be spring-actuated, and may co-act with an extension of the arm 10 to accelerate the movements of the arm in one or both directions. The orders may be printed in duplicate, one copy being stored for reference. An additional die 47 may be used, to record the date or time at which the order was received, and the printed strip may be made visible through an aperture in the casing. The apparatus is described as constructed for giving restaurant order signals, but is stated to be applicable to fire-alarm systems, ships' signal systems, gun-fire systems. or for recording the movements of trains and the operation of railway signal systems.
