Abstract: 1538. Roberts, T. Jan. 20. Ball and float valves; sliding valves; actuating valves.-In a bottling or like machine provided with an electrically.controlled delivery valve, whereby the supply to each vessel is determined on the breakage of a circuit by the movement of a balance arm carrying the receptacle being filled, such movement taking place when the receptacle has received the desired quantity, provision is made for enabling a relatively small movement of the armature of the controlling electro-magnet to effect a larger movement of the valve. For this purpose, the valve spindle c, Fig. 1, has a pin-andslot connexion with two levers e, which are pivoted at e<1> and connected, as shown, to the downward extensions d<1> of the armature d. In machines in which the circuit is completed by the movement of the balance arm when the receptacle is filled, the supply valve is opened by means of a treadle, and is locked in the open position by a spring catch on the armature of the electro-magnet, until, on the completion of the circuit, the catch is withdrawn and allows the valve to close. Fig. 16 shows a float valve for controlling the liquid supply in the reservoir. The reservoir is divided into two compartments by a vertical partition b<4>, the compartment b<3> being in communication with the bottling - head. The liquid is supplied to the compartment b<3> from the other compartment through the nozzle b<5>, which is adapted to be closed by the valve s<9>, controlled, through the loosely-mounted lever s<5>, by the float s. In another arrangement, a port in the partition b<4> is controlled by a sliding (sluice) valve, the valve and float being fixed to opposite ends of a single float lever.

Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 22,421. Scott, A. A. Oct. 12, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Drying and burning bricks &c.-Bricks &c. are dried in the place where they are finally burnt, fresh tiers of shaped bricks or the like to be dried being placed upon tiers which have been previously dried and so sufficiently strengthened to support them. Stacks of the usual height for burning are thus built up without the articles being displaced from their first positions. Green clay, for instance, issuing in stream from the press 9 is cut up into brick lengths and carried by a conveyer 12 into kilns A. Air, sucked throngh heated coils 16<a> by a fan 14, is forced through the conduit 25 and side branches S and rises through openings U in these branches into the kilns. The stream of air passes horizontally through the first tiers a of bricks, which are covered by a paper or other rigid cover b with an extension c, and out through ports J into stacks I, or through openings in the side wall D communicating with flues between the stacks. The extension being removed, an apron d is arranged to cover the dried bricks, and fresh tiers of green bricks are then put in position, covered, and dried as before. Several batches having been dried in this way, one of the furnaces G at the side may be lit and the temperature raised to complete the drying, after which all the furnaces are lit and the bricks burnt as usual. In one modification, the stacks and flues may be closed and the gases arranged to pass out of holes P in the crown of the furnace ; in another modification, a layer of bricks dried above the cover b is built up to protect the lower dried bricks, while others are being dried, and in a third, aprons may be used dividing the bricks up into vertical rows. By the use of these aprons, one part of the kiln can be cut off from another, so that by stopping the appropriate openings, articles may be dried in one part of a kiln while fresh ones are being placed in the other. Several sets of kilns can be used simultaneously, and the hot air and gases from one set, in which burning &c. is taking place, can be drawn off through passages 28, 18 to be used for drying articles in another set. In a further modification, the branches S are situated centrally under the kilns, and have side passages through which the hot air rises into the kilns ; in this case, the covers b are dispensed with and the lower courses are dried longer than the upper ones. If the covers and aprons used in the first modifications are combustible, they need not be removed before the second drying as they will be consumed.
