Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 5936. Pill, N. W. March 12. Carburetting.-In a carburetting-apparatus, air is supplied from a blower 22, which may be operated by a motor actuated by some of the gas produced, to a main air pipe 10 from which branch pipes 8 communicate with carburettors 1. Each carburettor comprises an outer tube lined with absorbent -material-2 and having closed ends 3 through which passes an-inner tube 4 plugged at 5, the part 4<a> being formed with holes 6 for the passage of air into the outer tube, and the part 4<b> with holes 7 for drawing off the carburetted air. Hydrocarbon is supplied from a tank 15 through a float feed 17 and pipe 13 arranged to maintain the carburettors half full. The carburetted air passes by pipes 9 to a pipe 11 provided with a rotatable lining having graduated apertures arranged so that communication between the carburettors and pipe 11 is successively shut off as the lining is rotated. A secondary air supply is admitted to the pipe 11 through a pipe 24 provided with a valve 33, and the end of the pipe 24 and the adjacent end of the lining within the pipe 11 are formed with half covers, so placed that when the pipe 11 is in communication with all the carburettors it is also at its fullest communication with the pipe 24..The motion of the lining in the pipe 11 may be automatically controlled by the gasholder 27.

Patent GB-190727814-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Opening and Closing Gas Cocks or the like for Igniting Gas at a Distance.
Inventor: MULLER DANIEL
Filed: 1907-12-17
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 27,814. Muller, D. Dec. 17. Lighting and extinguishing gas.-In apparatus for actuating gas cocks by increasing the pressure of gas in the mains, a weighted bell g or an equivalent diaphragm rests, in its lowest position, upon the screwthreaded extension v of the plug cock e, the seat of which is formed by a cone d which can be regulated to allow the device to serve for either an "evening" or a "night" lamp. So long as the bell g is in its lowest position, Fig. 1, it presses the valve e tightly upon its seat, and gas is supplied by the cock e to the channel n communicating with the by-pass. When, however, the pressure of the gas is increased, the. gas passing through a duct u in the cock e lifts the bell, causing the screw-threaded spindle v to rotate in a nut w<1> depending from a disk w, which rests upon the lower extension k of the bell g, and is prevented from rotating by stops. The pitch of the screw v is such that the valve is turned through 120 degrees while the bell is moving from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Fig. 3, gradually closing the by-pass channel n and opening the main channel h, the ports being so arranged that the main burner is lit from the pilot jet before the latter is extinguished. When the pressure of the gas is reduced and the bell g descends, the stop x prevents the disk w from rotating until the bell has sunk sufficiently to release the projection w<2> from the stop. The disk w then rotates upon the spindle v and descends until it is stopped by the pin x<1>. Upon again increasing the pressure of the gas, the valve e is turned through a further 120 degrees, the passage to the main burner remaining open, and that to the pilot jet closed. When the pressure is increased for the third time, the valve e turns through a further 120 degrees to its original position, in which the passage to the main burner is closed and that to the pilot jet open. The above positions are stated to be fur use with a lamp burning throughout the night. To adapt the device for use as an "evening" lamp, either the cone d or the casing a is turned through 60 degrees varying the position of the ports, so that in the first or " day " position the passage to the pilot jet only is open, in the second or " evening " position the passage to the main burner only is open, and in the third or "after midnight" " position the passage to the pilot-jet only is open. Should the rotation of the cone d or casing a displace the valve e, it is restored to its position by reciprocating the bell and the parts connected therewith by means of the rod y.

Title: Improvements in Pressure Gauges for use in connection with Lubricant Supplying Means.
Inventor: HOYLE EMMANUEL

Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 13,073. Hoyle, E., and Bradwell, W. A. June 19. indicating interruption of flow of liquids; pressure gauges.-In a Bourdon pressure gauge for use on an engine when lubricant is supplied under pressure, an electric apparatus is employed to give an alarm when the supply of lubricant fails while the engine is running. A curved tube f, in communication with the oil pipe h of an internal-combustion engine, expands under the pressure of the oil, the movements being indicated, through the link g and gearing e, i, by the pointer on the dial. The suction of the engine produces a vacuum in the induction pipe b and causes the tube a to contract, but expands when the vacuum ceases to exist. When the engine is at rest, the tube a will be expanded and the tube f contracted, their free ends remaining a little distance apart ; this distance will also be maintained when the engine is working properly, the tube f then being expanded and the tube a contracted. If the pressure of the oil fails while the engine is running, the free end of the tube f will approach the end of the tube a, and the alarm will be sounded when the contacts c, d meet. Instead of the tube a, a piston may be used in the vacuum tube to make contact.

Title: An Improved Construction of Quick Make and Break Electrical Switch.
Filed: 1908-10-01
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 20,646. Veritys, Ltd., and Pipkin, W. G. Oct. 1. Switches.-A quick make-and-break switch of the pivoted-blade type is provided with separate springs, one on each side of the pivot of the arm; one spring is arranged to open the switch, and the other to close the switch and also to hold the switch blade open by acting on different sides of the pivot of the blade; the initial movement in both directions is by band. The blade a is pivoted at a<2> and adapted to engage with the fixed contacts d. Upon the same axis is mounted an arm f having pegs h, h<2>. A lever j, connected to two rocking arms-which are turned together to close or open the switch, is also mounted upon the same axis as the blade, and moves freely between the pegs h, h<2>. The arm f is connected to the blade by a spring i and at its lower extremity is provided with a spring arrangement e, which is adapted to operate on either side of the pivot a'. It consists of a pin e' pivoted to the arm and moving loosely in a hole in an extension of the switch base. A spring under compression is arranged between the extension and a collar upon the pin. To close the switch, the lever is moved upwards with a free movement until it comes against the peg h, whereupon it carries with it the arm f and the blade a until the spring-peg e' goes over to the right-hand side of the pivot; the spring e then operates to give a quick closing-movement. In opening the switch, the lever is swung in the opposite direction ; the first movement stretches the spring i, the lever coming into engagement with the peg h<2>; the arm f is then carried down and moves the spring peg e' so that it acts on the other side of the pivot. With continued movement, a portion y of the lever j comes into engagement with the switch blade and withdraws it from the contacts, the spring i producing a rapid break, and the spring e serving to maintain the blade in the 'off' position. The switch may be built with one, two, or more poles.
