Abstract: 10,676. Mayr, A., and Wallace, J. May 16. [Patent of Addition to No. 18,627, A.D. 1906.] Hot-air engines.-The efficiency of a hot-air engine is increased by so regulating the period of heating the air that the expanding air does not act on the working piston during the return-stroke. This is effected by allowing the air to escape from the hot side of the displacer to the cold side through a valve b therein. The invention is an improvement on Specification No. 18,627, A.D 1906. The displacer consists of an inverted cylinder f surmounted by an insulating-block d, and pierced by passages e controlled by the valve b. The lift of the valve is controlled by the pin e in the piston-rod passing through a slot in the valve-sleeve. The notches q obstruct the upward passage of air between the displacer f, d and the cylinder g. The lower end of the cylinder is formed with a recess or pocket g, g<1> formed by bending the cylinder sides inwards, and the upper end t is made of a non-conductor of heat. The air is drawn down between the piston f and the cylinder g and forcedup through the passages e. A lamp p is provided, the flame of which may be seen through mica windows o, n.

Title: Improvements in Wireless Facsimile Telegraphs.
Inventor: KNUDSEN HANS
Filed: 1908-11-04
Granted: 1910-01-04
Abstract: 23,570. Knudsen, H. Nov. 4. Telegraphs -In a facsimile telegraph apparatus, the photograph &c. to be transmitted is obtained in a rough and smooth surface by sprinkling powder on a gelatine plate, and a stylus moving over this surface makes and breaks contact at a point in the circuit of a relay of a wireless transmitting-apparatus. At the receiving-station, a plate coated with lamp-black moves synchronously with the transmitting-plate, and is marked by a stylus attached to a telephone diaphragm, which is operated by the received impulses through a relay circuit. The lamp-black picture is fixed to the plate by sprinkling it with a solution of celluloid dissolved in acetone. Figs. 4 and 5 are diagrammatic representations of the transmitting and receiving- apparatus respectively. As the plate g moves under the stylus a, the latter closes the contact h in the circuit of the battery j and the primary winding of the induction coil k. The secondary winding of the coil k is connected to the spark-gap n. The received impulses in the conductor 41 actuate the coherer 64, and complete a circuit of the battery 75 through the magnet winding 36 to cause the stylus 30 to mark the plate 31. When the transmitting- plate g reaches the end of its iravel to the right, the projection 16 closes the contact 18 and thus causes the magnet 20 to lock the driving- mechanism of the plate. The receiving-plate 31 is similarly locked. Some time after the locking of the plates, the clockwork-driven arm 22 closes the contact 24, thus breaking the;contact 18 and releasing the driving - mechanism, and also causing the magnet m to close the contact 28 and send a synchronizing-impulse to the receiving station. This impulse passes through the coherer 38 and releases the plate-driving mechanism at the receiver, at the same time putting the coherer 64 in circuit for receiving impulses. The receiving-apparatus may otherwise consist of a shutter between a source of light and a photographic film. A plan view of the apparatus for driving the plates g, 31 is shown Fig. 3. A pinion t driven by a motor gears with the rack s, to which are attached arms A, B pivoted at E, F and having toothed gearing at G, H. The pivots E, F are in a line with the pinion t, and the cross-feet V, and springs J, K press the rack against the pinion.

Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 5801. Hamburg, P. March 10. Printing-apparatus, continuous. - In a continuous printing-machine with a rotary prismatic drum, a series of resilient pressure plates are linked together in the manner of an endless chain and are actuated by the drum so that their pressure faces bear closely on the surface of the drum and do not alter their position during the rotation through the pointing- segment. In order to avoid any irregular or excessive strain due to pulling the printing- band directly from the supply roll, the drum pulls the band from a loop taken from the supply roll by an automatically actuated pulloff device, and pulls it past a brush device into the field of illumination. The drum 1, Figs. 1 and 2, is illuminated internally and fitted with an angular screen 5 defining the field of illumination. The pressure plates 7 are faced with a resilient coating of sponge rubber, or with an air cushion corresponding in size to the faces of the drum, and are linked together by eyes and bolts. Each bolt 10 carries two rollers 11 which run on guideways 6 of the framework 3, which are concentric with the drum over the segment corresponding to the field of illumination. The chain is actuated by face-blocks 12 on the drum which engage the bolts 10, and in this way each pressure plate is held between two blocks 12 and cannot move relatively to the drum during printing. The drum pulls the printing-band from a loop 19 taken from the supply roll by automatically actuated pull-off rollers 16 driven from the shaft 2 and pulls the band past brush rollers 20. The printed band passes over guide-rolls 21 to a winding- roller 22, or directly into the developer for further treatment. A tray 23 prevents the band from coming into contact with the floor in case it is drawn off too rapidly.
