Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Carburetters and Vaporizers for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: SHEPHERD TIMOTHY
Filed: 1905-08-18
Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 16,736. Shepherd, T. Aug. 18. Gas or explosivevapour engines, carburetting in. A carburettor of the float-feed type is made of several separate parts of wrought or drawn, instead of cast, metal, and may be fitted with a jacketed heater. It may be used with engines of various sizes, and in it paraffin may be used without the aid of petrol for starting. The tubes A, H, Fig. 1, are screwed into the covers B, D so as to form an annular chamber J which contains the oil fuel, admitted by a spring-loaded valve K under the control of a float I. The oil is fed to the nozzle L', controlled by the valve M with its screw N, and is carried to the cylinder by air admitted through an iris diaphragm O and a gauze screen which excludes dust. Instead of the throttle valve S and diaphragm O, a collapsible cone, one form of which is shown in Fig. 9, may be used. This is made of sheet steel or other metal coiled as shown in Fig. 11. The cone is adjusted in size by the slide p<1> carried by the holder p<2>. Two modifications of the carburettor are shown and described in the Specification. In one, the throttle is absent and its place taken by a heater consisting of a ribbed tube surrounded by a jacket heated by the engine cooling-water, or by the exhaust. Under this heater is placed a tray in which paraffin may be burned to generate sufficient heat for starting. In the other form, the iris diaphragm is at the level of the fuel nozzle and is carried by a cylinder which fits the inner tube of the annular oil-fuel chamber. The heater in this case consists of a series of cross-tubes through which the engine exhaust passes, the fuel receiving heat from the outsides of the tubes.

Title: An Automatic Time Heat Regulator for Dentists' Vulcanizing Apparatus.
Inventor: SALVESANI PETER
Filed: 1905-12-23
Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 26,859. Salvesani, P. Dec. 23. Wick burners, flame-regulating in; wickoperating; extinguishing wick burners. -The time and heat necessary for the vulcanization of dental and other rubber articles is regulated automatically by the apparatus shown, of which Fig. 1 is a front view, Fig. 4 a side view with the boiler omitted, and Fig. 7 a plan, while Fig. 5 shows a sectional view of the wick burner. The wick-adjusting racks D, Fig. 5, gear with pinions E on a shaft G, which is clutched to the clockwork-driven shaft o and carries a pawl H adapted to strike a pivoted lever J supporting the shaft K, on which the spring controlled cover L is mounted. The time for vulcanizing is regulated by the clockwork-driven. shaft v. The apparatus acts as follows: -The lamp is lighted and both sets of clock-work are wound up. When the boiler pressure reaches a certain limit, the pin i, carried by the adjustable extension e of the arm c of the pressure gauge, strikes the lever l and by withdrawing the lever l<1> releases the fly-wheel m of the shaft o, whichrotates until the end n of the lever q drops into a notch in the wheel p and stops it again. During the motion of the shaft o, the cam wheel s acts on the lever u, which releases the clock-work of the time shaft v. While vulcanizing, the temperature is regulated mechanically, by means of a fork z carried by an arm f connected to the pointer a and adapted to move the weighted blade M to or from the flame. On the completion of the predetermined time, a cam x on the time shaft v raises by means of the pin r the end n of the lever q from the wheel p. The consequent rotation of the shaft o turns down the wick and allows the arm H to move the lever J, causing the lid L to turn down and cover the wick. When this action is completed, the lever u re-engages the wheel s and stops the clock-work.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Transmission of Power.
Inventor: FOETTINGER HERMANN
IPC: F16H61/52
Filed: 1905-06-23
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 13,864. F÷ttinger, H. June 23, 1905, [date applied forunder Patents Act, 1901]. Turbines-Mechanism for transmitting power consists. of a primary turbine or centrifugal pump on a driving-shaft, and a secondary turbine on the driven shaft so arranged that the conduit system is closed and forms part of a common casing. In certain cases, guide-passages are inserted in the system. The operative fluid passes from the primary to the secondary turbine, its unutilized enery being used again in the primary. Fluids of high specific gravity and at high temperatures can be used in this apparatus. By coupling the driving-shaft to the engine shaft of a ship, and the driven shaft to the propeller shaft, the latter can be regulated or reversed without controlling the prime mover. This method of reversing and gearing of two shafts is of general application. A simple form of apparatus is shown in Fig. 4, the fluid passages of the primary turbine I and of the secondary II both rotating. The part 4 of the passages is stationary. For reversing, the passages 35,36 in the non-rotating part of the example shown in Fig. 16, are capable of the necessary adjustment. The apparatus can be water-cooled by enclosing it in a special casing. Fig. 18 shows a form for powerful reducing and reversing transmission. When running ahead, the liquid passes from the primary 53 by the channels 54, 55 to the secondary 56 ; for going astern, the liquid passes from the turbine 57 through the fixed pieces 58, 60 of the secondary passages 59, 61 and then back through the fixed part 62. The primary and secondary turbines represented by T in Fig. 19 connect the propeller shaft II and the engine shaft I. Various other arrangements embodying the same principle are described in the Specification.

Abstract: 18,127. Rogers, C. R. Aug. 13. Washing.-Relates to a process and apparatus for retting or degumming and subsequently cleaning and drying linum, phormium, ramie, sisal, hemp, &c., preparatory to obtaining fibres therefrom. The plants, stalks, leaves, straws, and the like are boiled with water containing an emulsion of linseed oil, passed through squeezing-rollers 16,18,19, Fig. 3, the first pair of which is sprayed with water containing an emulsion of linseed oil, while the others are sprayed by water only, and delivered on to a drying-table. The dry material is ready for breaking and scutching or may be bleached in the open air. One or more crates containing the material may be lowered into compartments in a boiler containing water and emulsion heated by steam-pipes. The emulsion is made preferably by dissolving 13À5 lb. of caustic soda in 22 lb. of water, adding 100 lb. of linseed oil, heating to 70‹ C., thoroughly mixing, and allowing the mixture to stand for from two to seven days, after which it is boiled with three times its weight of water. The sets of squeezing-rollers 16, 18, 19 are mounted over separate compartments formed in a tank 12 by partitions 13, 14. The first and largest compartment, which contains emulsion and water, is heated by means of a perforated steam-pipe 36, and is provided with a lid 15 on which the boiled material is placed. The other compartments contain water. Injectors operated by steam from the steam - pipe 35 aspirate liquid from the several compartments along pipes 39 to be sprayed on the material passing through the several sets of rollers. The liquid after use runs back into the tank to be used again. Conveyer rollers 22, 24 support the material during its passage between the different sets of rollers. The drying-table consists of a number of longitudinal pipes supplied with steam from the pipe 35. Over the table passes a travelling apron built up of two endless chains connected together at regular intervals by straps or laths for supporting the material. When it is desired to bleach the material before breaking and scutching, it is collected in movable trays placed on the apron, and these are removed from the end of the drying-table and stacked in the open air.

Abstract: 25,413. Clarke, Chapman, & Co., and Money, G. W. Nov. 10. Search - lights. - An electric arc lamp for a searchlight, which can be regulated at will either by an electric motor or by hand, is arranged as shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 showing one construction. The motor has a field coil a, Fig. 1, in series with the carbons b, and an oppositely-acting field coil c connected through an equal resistance e and the armature winding d in shunt to the carbons. A second shunt circuit includes a resistance h and an electro-magnet g, the armature i of which is attached to a spring-urged lever i<1>. When the carbons are separated and there is no arc, the lever i<1> is lifted and shortcircuits the resistance e through a wire m<1>, contact m, and 'wire k<1>. The field coil c then causes the carbons to be brought together, whereupon the lever il falls and short-circuits the field coil c through the wire k<1> and contact k, so that the field coil a acts to separate the carbons. When the arc is burning normally, the lever is disconnected from both contact-pieces. Both shunt circuits include a hand-switch n, which is opened when the carbons are to be fed by hand, and a cut-out which is actuated when the carbons are nearly consumed. The carbon-holders q, Fig. 2, are actuated by a right and left banded screw o<1> which may be contained in a casing o. As shown, the screw is driven by toothed wheels u, u<1>, w, x, y from the shaft z of the motor. On the shaft of two of the wheels is a hand-wheel t. The electro-magnet g is of horseshoe form. The cut-out comprises a three-armed lever 4, the vertical arm of which is engaged by one of the carbon-holders when the carbons are consumed, causing an horizontal arm to depress a spring-urged sliding bolt carrying a contact-piece 7 at its lower end. The mechanism is enclosed in a box r.
