Title: Improvements relating to Rock Drills.
Inventor: RAYNER GEORGE HENRY
IPC: B25D9/18
Filed: 1911-01-04
Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 1911231. Rayner, G. H. Jan. 4. Percussive drills.-In rock drills of the kind set forth in Specification 19,384/06, [Class 85, Mining &c.], means are provided to prevent repeated striking of the piston against the front cylinder head when the tool is not in contact with the rock. The rear valve-collar a is formed smaller than the other collars and the passage f is so placed as to be over-run by the piston k when the tool does not touch the rock. Both ends of the valve are thus opened to exhaust and the valve is held against movement by the pressure fluid acting on the larger valve collar b. The piston therefore stops in its forward position.

Inventor: BURKHEISER KARL
IPC: C01C1/247
Filed: 1911-05-20
Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 12,227. Burkheiser, K. May 21, 1910, [Convention date]. Ammonium sulphate and sulphite.-To oxidize ammonium sulphite or ammonium sulphate and sulphite wholly to ammonium sulphate, the sulphate formed is separated from the unconverted sulphite, which is again oxidized, the process being repeated until all is converted. The material to be treated is fed from a hopper e through a tube a by a screw conveyer s to a discharge d, while air is drawn in the opposite direction by suction applied at l. Jackets c, b maintain the two parts of the tube a above and below the volatilizing temperature of ammonium sulphite respectively, so that the sulphite volatilized in the hot part is condensed again in the cold part and again fed forward by the conveyer. Any uncondensed sulphite is received in water in a tank h. In a modification, Fig. 3, in which a separation is effected, the hopper is set between the hot and cold regions, which are provided with oppositely disposed conveyers so that the sulphate escapes at d and the sulphite at g, the sulphite solution being finally added to the mother liquor from which the original salt mixture was prepared for further treatment. A conveyer of the form shown in Fig. 2 may be used instead of a screw.

Title: Improvements in Carburettors for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: SENEMAUD CHARLES GABRIEL RENE
IPC: F02M69/00
Filed: 1913-02-03
Granted: 1914-02-03
Abstract: 2794. Senemaud, C. G. R. Feb. 8, 1912, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors.-The carburettor, which is for use with two-stroke-cycle engines, is connected at 1 to the air pump and at 3 to the engine cylinder. Fuel from the pipe 4 is controlled by a heavy suction-actuated valve 5, and flows to ports 9 which are controlled by a sleeve 10 on a perforated tube 11 connected to the float 12. Fuel is therefore only admitted to the chamber 13 when the float falls owing to the fuel being discharged through the nozzle 17. The nozzle is surrounded by a choke tube 18 which is carried by and can be adjusted by rotating the screwed sleeve 19, this adjustment at the same time varying the air ports 20. Perforated disks 15, 16 protect the fuel in the float-chamber from the action of whirls of the air in the chamber 2. Several nozzles may be used with orifices at different heights and be brought into action by adjusting the cone 18. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that lubricating-oil may be supplied to the casing of the running gear or to an intermediate receptacle which maintains the oil in the casing between certain limits of level. This supply of oil is effected by apparatus similar. to that described above for the supply of liquid fuel, suction being transmitted to the valve by a tube separate from the oil-supply pipe. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Pumps.
Inventor: HAMMER LUDWIG
IPC: F04C11/00
Filed: 1913-03-29
Granted: 1914-03-30
Abstract: 7464. Hammer, L. March 29. Fixed - abutment type; regulating pumps; packing drums &c.-Relates to rotary pumps of the type in which the rotor is mounted eccentrically within its casing and is provided with radially sliding vanes, and consists in applying to such pumps the principle of an inner casing functioning as a valve for the purpose of varying the delivery. On the driving-shaft 1, Figs. 1 and 3, of the system, three drums 2<1>, 2, 2<1> are mounted carrying sliding vanes 3, the volume of each of the side drums 2<1> being half the volume of the middle drum 2. The drums 2', 2, 2<1> are surrounded by guide cylinders 4<1>, 4, 4<1> arranged eccentrically to the drums, the eccentricity of the middle guide cylinder 4 being arranged exactly opposite to that of the side cylinders 4<1>, 4<1>. The guide cylinders are adjustably mounted in the outer casings 5<1>, 5, 5'. The outer casings have each two zones D, d, D', d<1>, located opposite each other, between which the ducts 6, 7 extend to the delivery and suction pipes 8, 9. The delivery pipes 8 lead to a main 10, and the suction pipes to a main 11. Similarly the cylinders 4<1>, 4, 4<1> each have two oppositely-located zones Z-z, Z<1>-z<1>, between which likewise on the inner side there are ducts 12, 13, from which liquid can pass through ports 14, 15 into the ducts 6, 7 of the casing. The end of each of the cylinders 4<1>, 4, 4<1> is closed fluid-tight by means of a cover-plate 20 acted upon by an annular spring ring 21. The movement of the 'guide-cylinders is effected by the engagement of toothed wheels 24, Fig. 5, with teeth cut on the outer surfaces of the cylinders 4<1>, 4. All the wheels 24 are operated simultaneously by the engagement of a sector with a wheel on the common shaft of the pinions 24. The capacity of the pump is varied by shifting the guide cylinders. Maximum capacity is obtained when the middle line x-x of the zones Z-z coincides with the line y-y of the eccentricity of the cylinders 4<1>, 4. The central or no-delivery position is that obtained when the middle line x-x is at rightangles to the line y-y. The middle and end cylinders are made of opposite eccentricity in order to counterbalance the pressure of the working liquid on the shaft 1. To prevent leakage, the shaft 1 is reduced near the cover 23, Fig. 1, and the cover is formed as a stuffing-box 121. An elastic packing 122 is held in place by a ring 123 and spring 124. A packing ring 127 is placed against the flat end 126 of the stuffing- box, and is held in place by a spring 129 and plate 128. Between the plate 128 and the ring 127 is an elastic packing-ring 131. The spring 129 is compressed by the nut 130. A drainage pipe 132 leads from the stuffing-box to the suction pipe 11.
