Title: Improvements in or relating to Internal Combustion Engines of the Revolving Cylinder Type.
Inventor: CHEESEMAN ALFRED BRYSON EAST
IPC: F02B57/08
Filed: 1910-05-14
Granted: 1911-08-14
Abstract: 12,036. Cheesman, A. B. E., and Florence, J. G. May 14. Motor power plant.-The charging of radialcylinder engines in which either the cylinders or the cylinders and crank-shaft revolve, is effected by air scoops which deliver into a carburetting-chamber opening into the cylinders through piston-controlled terminal inlet ports. A scoop 19, Fig. 1. which may contain the fuel jet, delivers past a fuel injection nozzle 22 into an annular chamber 17, the pressure in which may be supplemented by a fan located either in the chamber itself or in the scoop the fan being driven through friction or other gearing at a speed which is variable automatically or at will. The combustion gases are withdrawn through an annular chamber 12 having a scoop facing in an opposite direction to that of rotation, the reaction effects of the escaping gases being stated to augment the power developed by the engine. When used on aerial machines, the propeller blades may be attached either to the cylinders or to the cylinder heads.

Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 26,979. Bodin, C. R. D. Nov. 21. Water-waste preventers, water supply for ranges of. - Relates to means for supplying water from a single ball-valve, to ranges of cisterns arranged on the same level. The supply-pipe b is connected with the service pipe through a ball-valve D and with each of the cisterns of a range by pipes c. When any cistern is discharged, the water - level in the cistern containing the float descends causing the valve to open. Water then passes along the pipe b until the normal level in all the cisterns is restored. The ball may be in one of the flushing-cisterns, or in a special cistern as shown in Fig. 3. A compartment h may be provided for the ball, and may communicate with the pipe e by a pipe c<11> or with the pipe b by a pipe c<1> according as the cock D plays into the pipe e or is directly coupled to it. The rush of the water past the orifice of the pipe c<1> or c<11> withdraws water from the compartment h, and so leads to a quicker filling of the cisterns. Overflow from the flushing-cisterns passes into the supply-cistern at f.
