Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 22,343. Newcomb, E. C. Oct. 10. Spray carburettors.-The air and fuel are simultaneously and proportionately controlled by a valve 8 which slides over a series of narrow elongated air ports 7 and is provided with an extension 9 which carries a tapered fuel valve 33. The effect of viscosity of the fuel is taken into account in determining the size and taper of the fuel valve, and the stream-line flow of the air determines the form of the ports 7. Fuel passes from the interior of the valve 8 to the air ports 7 through a series of holes 41. A pin 42 keeps the valve in position. To vary the relation between the heads acting upon the air and fuel supplies, a pipe 48 leads from the suction space to the top of the float chamber. A valve 47<a> allows of the suction effect in the float chamber being varied. The space above the valve 8 is provided with a ball valve 11 and acts as a dash-pot. The fuel valve is selfcentring and is secured in position by a spring 35 and nut 36. A water jacket 50 with ribs 52 is provided. The fuel valve may be given an initial opening by screwing-in a ring 37. Two or more valves 8 and corresponding fuelvalves may be employed, and the valves may be of different weight so as to come into action successively.

Controllers, actuating, retarding, and locking mechanism for ; controllers, drum. - In an electric signalling system, the transmitter is set by hand and then operates independently of the person using it. Contact strips are mounted on a drum which is loose on a shaft, but is connected to it by an enclosed driving-spring. The contact-drum and the shaft are also controlled by two sets of stops and catches arranged so that (1) neither of them can move except when the other is in its normal position, and (2) that one of them which has last moved is locked, this lock only being released when the other one has moved. Thus, when the shaft is turned by means of the transmitter handle, the drum is locked till the shaft makes one complete revolution; the handle is now locked, and the drum is released and driven by the spring, which was wound up by the movement of the shaft, until it has made one revolution, when it is locked and the handle released ready for the next operation. The rotation of the drum is governed by means of a fly, and a ratchet-wheel and pawl allow the handle to be moved only in one way.

Title: Improved Method of Producing Sounds for Submarine Signalling and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: BLAKE LUCIEN IRA
IPC: G10K1/068
Filed: 1912-03-19
Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 6815. Blake, L. I. Jan. 23, [Convention date]. Subaqueous sound signals. - When water is forced from a nozzle C, Fig. 2, between plates A, A<1> supported in close elastic relation to each other, vibrations are set up, the plates being alternately attracted, owing to the hydrokinetic suction due to the falling velocity of the water in its radial travel, and repelled owing to the hydrostatic pressure becoming again predominant when the attraction of the plates has reduced the flow of water to a certain point. Devices acting on this principle are used for producing sounds in subaqueous signalling. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the nozzle 5 is bowl-shaped and the adjacent body 7 is carried bv a rubber cushion 6 on an adjustable plate 8. The parts 5, 7 act as an intermittent valve and produce a water-hammer effect in the sounding-cylinder 2. The body adjacent to the nozzle may be a striker producing a continuous sound from a bell, as shown in Fig. 4, or it may be fixed to a vibratory diaphragm.

Abstract: 11,190. Ivinson, C. H., and Le Bas, E. May 13. Casting-machines; moulds.-Casting is effected in a die-casting machine by suddenly applied pressure, which may be generated explosively. A melting-pot with a refractory lining e in a metal container carried by a flanged plate b is provided with stirring-mechanism r, t. The plate band sections f, g form a gas-tight chamber which has means for introducing gaseous pressure at u, such as from liquefied carbon dioxide or other inert gas, or from the ignition of an explosive mixture. Such explosion may take place in a separate chamber to prevent pre-ignition during the heating of the metal. A pressure gauge and safety-valve are provided. A sprue cutter 2 can be moved into a position to close the passage from the conduit k to the mould. By operation of the cutter, the pressure is allowed to cause a sudden charging of the mould, the gate then being closed to retain the pressure, which is sufficient for several subsequent casts. A lever-operated ejector 18 removes the portion of the sprue from the cutter 2. According to the Provisional Specification, a plunger may be operated mechanically to produce a sudden pressure. Clamping and guiding moulds; castings.-The upper mould portion 9 is guided by rods 7 and clamped by a quick-pitch, multiple-threaded screw 10. Adjustable rods 19 serve to eject the casting if it adheres to the upper mould portion.
