| No. Patentee Title 526,140 Albion Motors Ltd., H.W. Cylinder heads for internal Fulton and E.B. Stead combustion engines An inlet port of gradually tapering form at no point making an angle of less than 45° with the valve stem, merges obliquely with the valve seat orifice which is devoid of lips or equivalent elements. The inlet port adjacent to valve seat is thus aimed directly at the valve orifice. 526,159 Auto. Union Akt.Ges. Vehicle bodies. Outer skin of resilient synthetic resin is supported on riblike frame member connected to floor of body, frame being connected to skin at spaced points between which resilient deformation between skin and frame is permitted 526,199 H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Kattwinkel Cooling means for multiple-disc clutches or brakes. The discs are cooled on the thermosyphon principle by the difference of heat inside and outside the disc casing the liquid being outside the disc casing by pipes with fins which may be shaped to give a fan effect. 526,205 Ringhoffer-Tatra-Werke Arrangement of cooling-air Akt. Ges. blowers for air-cooled engines with cylinders in V arrangement for vehicles with rear engines Impeller fans disposed at the side of the gear box force feed air to the cylinder blocks. 526,218 G.K. Steward Ignition and the promotion of the combustion of fuel in internal combustion engines. A small combustion chamber is formed in the end of the sparking plug body, to this mixture containing more oxygen than the main charge is admitted. The ignition flame there initiated reaches the main combustion space by a plurality of openings in the end of the spark plug body and the flames so caused are reinforced by the admission of a mixture containing a still higher percentage of oxygen. 526,219 K.L.G. Sparking Plugs Ltd. Tool for adjusting the C.M. Carington and G.W. firing gap of a sparking Shoobert plug. To adjust a plug having a number of wires the tool comprises a central circular boss and a number of bosses corresponding to the number of wires spaced around the central boss. By rotating the tool the surrounding bosses come in contact with the wires and bend them till they rest against the central boss. | ||
