Title: Improvements in and relating to Valves
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1905-09-12
Granted: 1905-11-09
Abstract: 18,382. Fairweather, W., [Norwall Manufacturing Co.]. Sept. 12. Lift v a l v e s ; sliding valves; spindles; casings; seats; actuating valves and cocks. - Lift valves or sliding valves are actuated by a rotary spindle through an aggregate screw mechanism; the usual packing is dispensed with by causing a flange on the spindle to seat itself securely on the casing. The valve is particularly applicable to heating-systems. In the lift valve shown in Fig. 1, the valve C rests on a seat a<1> and is provided with lugs c, sliding in grooves in the casing, thus preventing the rotation of the valve. A right. handed screw shank C<1>, attached to the valve, screws into a socket in a member D, the exterior of which is provided with a left-handed screw-thread which engages with the casing. The upper part D<1> of the member D is rectangular in cross-section and fits into a socket in the stem E. A flange e on this stem is pressed down by a spring f to a seat b<2> on the casing, preventing any escape of fluid and thus dispensing with a stuffing-box. When it is desired to unseat the valve, the hand-wheel is rotated counter-clockwise, and the member D is thereby drawn upwards ; at the same time the rotation of D causes the shank c<1> to move upwardly in the socket of D. The valve is therefore quickacting. In a modification, the flange e is caused to bear upon a depending seat in the casing.

Title: Improvements in Gas Turbines.
Inventor: GADDA GIUSEPPE
Filed: 1905-12-30
Granted: 1906-12-29
Abstract: 27,272. Gadda, G. Jan. 2; [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gas turbines. - A regenerative turbine is driven alternately by combustion products and a fluid, such as air. Fuel and air for combustion are supplied by pumps A', A<2> to the combustion chamber C<1>, whence the products pass through a chamber Q to the turbine T. The chamber Q contains some material that absorbs heat from the products. The supplementary fluid is delivered by a pump A3 to a heater R, where it is heated by the turbine exhaust, and then enters the jacket a round the space Q. Here the fluid is further heated by the material in the space Q, and then passes to the turbine. The entrance of the supplementary fluid into the jacket is determined by the decreasing pressure of the combustion products, and similarly the entrance of fresh charges of fuel and air takes p'ace when the pressure of the supplementary fluid falls sufficiently low.
