Title: Starting Device for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: CROUSE DAVID ELDRIDGE
Filed: 1912-11-11
Granted: 1913-05-08
Abstract: 25,889. Crouse, D. E., and Edison, C. G. Nov. 11. Electric and magnetic gears.-Internal-combustion engines are started by a compressed-air engine having electromagnetically - operated valves. The compressed - air piston has a #-shaped rod 3, 4 carrying a frame 9, capable of slight lateral displacement, in which is mounted a rack 10 capable of slight axial displacement. A piston 7 open to the air pressure through a passage 5 in the rod 3, 4 moves the rack into engagement with a pinion 47 on the main shaft. The inlet and exhaust valves 26, 25 are controlled by a rod 23 moving in a solenoid 22. Contact is made between points 40, 41 on the piston-rod and cylinder when the rack and pinion are not engaged. On closing a starting- switch the circuit is completed and the valve 26 opened. As the piston moves upwards, the downward pressure of the pinion 47 on the rack 10 closes the switch 11<b>, 13 before the circuit through 40, 41 is broken. A bridge-piece 24 carried on the rod 23 closes a locking circuit so that the apparatus will continue to work even if the switch K is opened. When the piston reaches the end of its stroke or the main engine starts, the rack is raised and the contacts 11<b>, 13 are broken; the rod 23 returns and the exhaust valve 25 is opened; and the piston returns under gravity. If the main engine fires prematurely, the piston 2 is driven back and the resulting pressure opens a valve 31 and breaks the circuit. If the engine fails to start on the first stroke, the piston 2 will continue working as long as the starting-switch is closed.

Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 6998. Hidoux, G., and Bernheim, J. March 22. Reducing dust - b i n and like refuse; roller mills. - In separating the combustible and incombustible parts of house refuse, the refuse is passed successively between pairs of crushing- rollers and through sieves arranged alternately, the meshes of each sieve being approximately twice as large as the space between the preceding pair of rollers. The refuse having been freed from large objects is fed from a pit a by a conveyer b to a conical separator c, which eliminates all objects above a certain size. An electro-magnetic separator d removes metallic objects present, and the refuse is next disaggregated by one or more crushers f having a hammer and grate. The disaggregated refuse passes by a conveyer g to a drying-chamber h, and then by a conveyer i to a drum j, which eliminates any material too large to pass between the crushing-rollers m. These rollers may be smooth or grooved, and they effect the flattening of the combustible matter and the granulation of the incombustible matter. The reduced material is fed by a conveyer n to a rocking flat sieve o the meshes of which are slightly larger than the space between the rollers m. The matter passing through the sieve is mostly incombustible, and is carried by a conveyer s to a second grinder t having its rollers nearer together than the rollers m, the reduced material passing by a conveyer n to a second sieve v through which the incombustible matter passes to a discharge conveyer z. The combustible matter retained by the sieves o, v is discharged on to a conveyer r, and any combustible fibrous substances in the refuse may be removed by means of an air blast from a fan w.

Abstract: 19,735. Turner, P., and Turner, L. Sept. 14. Channels in vertical-shaft bearings.-Relates to the continuous lubrication by means of a selfcontained oil pump of the crank-pin or weight spindle bearings of plansifters which revolve in space round a centre. A spring-controlled oil pump C is mounted on an oil reservoir A in the casing B, which is fixed to and rotates with the crank-pin D, and the plunger G of the pump is pressed against an eccentric E on the outer casing of the crank-pin bearing by a spring H. On the outward stroke of the plunger, oil is sucked into the pump casing through a channel J, and on the return stroke is forced past a valve b into channels L, M, N, and up a channel 0 in the crank-pin to a chamber P formed at one end of the bearing R. Some of the oil in the chamber P returns by grooves Q in the bearing and channels f to the reservoir A, and the remainder passes to a chamber T formed between the bearing R and the casing Z, and returns by grooves U on the outer spherical surface of the bearing and channel V to the reservoir. The supply of oil is introduced at e. When the sifter is at rest the oil lies in a horizontal plane A', A<2>, but when the machine is in motion, the oil assumes the position B<1>, B<2>, thereby keeping the suction of the pump always supplied with oil slightly under pressure, and preventing leakages at the joints.
