Patent GB-191305317-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Governing Turbines Operated by High and Low Pressure Elastic Fluid.
IPC: F01D17/00
Filed: 1913-03-03
Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 5317. Bergmann-Elektricitõtswerke Akt.-Ges. March 22, 1912, [Convention date]. [Addition to 4694/13.] Regulating mixedpressure turbines. The invention consists in the modification of the pressure - governor in the device described in the parent Specification. The piston D, subjected to the pressure of the low - pressure supply, operates a piston valve c, surrounding which is a movable ported cylinder b connected to a lever e, the other end of which encircles the stem of the live-steam valve Vf. The cylinder b occupies the lower position when the live-steam valve is open, but when this is closed a stop d engages the lever e and raises the cylinder b to the higher position. The ports are so adjusted that the pressure governor cannot operate the low - pressure valve Va unless the valve Vf is open. By this device, when the turbine is running normally on low-pressure steam, a momentary rise of pressure of the low-pressure steam does not effectively operate the pressure governor, and supergoverning is consequently prevented.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Applying Jar Caps.
Inventor: SCHMITT EDWARD DANIEL
Filed: 1913-05-05
Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 10,569. Schmitt, E. D. May 5. Capsules, applying. - Relates to a jar-capping machine of the type described in Specification 19,178/11 in which the sealing-head comprises two members, one adapted to seat the cap, and the other member adapted, after the seating, to continue its descent to. lock the cap to the jar. According to the present invention, the cap-seating and cap-locking members are carried by two crossheads operated by the same driving-means, positive and adjustable means being provided for arresting the movement of the first cross-head and flexible means for permitting the first cross-head to be arrested while the second cross-head continues its descent. The cap-seating plunger 29, Fig. 2, and the cap crimping-member 25 are carried by independent cross-heads 24, 26, simultaneously operated by rods 21 and cams on the main shaft. The downward movement of the cap-seating plunger is limited by the cross-head 26 engaging adjustable stops 22 on the frame, springs 39 of adjustable tension being provided to permit the continued downward movement of the cap-crimping means. The pressure necessary to effect the final seating of the cap upon the bottle is limited by an adjustable spring 48, Fig. 4, in the bottle rest 23, Figs. 2 and 4, which yields sufficiently to apply the necessary pressure before the cross-head 26 engages the stops. The seating pressure is thus rendered independent of the crimping pressure. The cap is crimped by spring-controlled indenting fingers 33 operated by a cam-ring 36 carried by the crimping-member 25. Each of the fingers consists of two plugs with an interposed spring 34.

Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 14,336. Hudson, A. E. June 20. Valves controlled by pilot or relay valves; locking-catches.-The throttle valve of a railway. locomotive is closed to stop the engine by breaking a glass closure 37 in a brake pipe by means of a pin 36 on a vertically-sliding train contact 32 when the contact passes over a raised track ramp. The track ramp slides vertically in a socket 18 and is raised by lever 15 and link 16, which are actuated together with a signal or alone. The ramp is made telescopic. The upper part 19 slides within the lower part 17 and is held up by a spring 23, which is strong enough to cause the stopping operation but which permits snow-ploughs or the like to depress it and thereby to pass over it without damage being done to it. The reduction of the pressure in the brake-pipe causes the closing of the engine throttle and the opening of a sanding-valve. The throttle lever is connected to a piston I, Fig. 8, in a cylinder H, normally subjected to the pressure of the air-pipe on one side and on the other side to the equal pressure of air in a reservoir 51 connected by a non-return valve 53 to the cylinder H. When the pressure in the cylinder H is reduced, the air in the reservoir 51 expands, forces the piston I back, and through suitable connexions operates the throttle lever. The throttle lever is fitted with a locking-catch which is operated by the movement of the piston prior to actuation of the lever.
