Patent GB-190813264-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Air Brake Systems.
Inventor: HUGHES JOHN
Filed: 1908-06-22
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 13,264. Hughes, J. June 22. Brakes.--In a brake system, in addition to the automatic train-pipe for actuating the valves controlling the flow of air in and out of the brake cylinder, an auxiliary pipe, containing air at higher pressure than in the automatic pipe, serves to charge the auxiliary reservoirs, and to recharge them while the brakes are applied. The automatic train-pipe 2 is connected to the auxiliary reservoir 8 through a cock 10 and a check valve 11, and to the chamber 26 of the piston 25 through a pipe 2<1>. The pipe communicates with the main reservoir A through a pressure-reducing valve 5 and the driver's valve 4. The auxiliary train-pipe 6 is charged direct from the main reservoir through a reducing-valve 38 of less strength than the valve 5, and is connected to the auxiliary reservoir 8 by a pipe 35 containing a cock 37 and a check valve 36. The slide valve 17 contains two cavities 18, 23 for connecting the brake cylinder respectively to the reservoir pipe 19 and the exhaust port 22, and is controlled by a piston contained in a chamber 36 separate from the valve chamber 16. The volume of the chamber 36 is increased by a chamber 31 connected therewith, which is charged from the train-pipe through a groove 32, a spring 27 being provided to move the piston 25 to close the groove when the pressures have equalized. On venting the train - pipe 2 through the driver's valve for an ordinary application, the pressure in the chamber 31 moves the piston 25 and comprises a spring 30, and the valve 17 is moved to connect the auxiliary reservoir to the brake cylinder. When the spring 30 is compressed the two sides of the piston communicate through a groove 33 in the wall of the chamber, and, as soon as the pressures equalize, the spring returns the piston and moves the valves 17 to lap position. The pipe 6 being permanently in communication with the main reservoir, recharges the auxiliary reservoir whenever its pressure falls. For an emergency application, a large decrease in train-pipe pressure causes the piston to move past the groove 33, compressing the spring 29 on the graduating-stop 28. The valve 17 moves along with the piston and uncovers the auxiliary reservoir and brake-cylinder ports. The full pressure of the main reservoir can be admitted to the auxiliary reservoir by opening a cock 40, so cutting out the reducing-valve 38. A leak-off valve is connected to the brake cylinder, and cocks 44, 44<1> are provided to vent the chamber 31 and the brake cylinder to release the brakes on detached coaches. When empty cars are attached to the rear of loaded cars, reducing-valves may be placed in the hose pipes connecting the loaded and unloaded cars so as to limit the braking power on the unloaded cars ; and when loaded and unloaded cars are interposed in a train, the cocks 37 on the empty cars may be turned so that the auxiliary reservoirs are charged from the low-pressure trainpipe.

Abstract: 28,002. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Dec. 23. Heels; nailing.-Heel-lifts are placed in a U- shaped form 4, Fig. 1, constructed of soft vulcanized rubber with its inner face conforming approximately in inclination to the pitch of the heel to be built. The back of the form is guided by a pin 6 which slides in a slot 8, while the extremities of the arms are held by slides 16 connected by pins 20 to lugs 14 embedded in the rubber. The slides 16 are forced inwards by depressing a sliding block 30, to which they are connected by toggle links 34, 26. An unyielding breast-plate 35 is secured on a slide 36, which is adjustably secured on another slide by a nut 42. A lever 46, operated by the movement of the block 30, is pivoted to the slide, thus moving the breastgauge simultaneously with the sides of the form. The lugs 14 are provided with a series of holes through which the securing-pins 20 may be passed to adjust the form for different heels. In a modification, the mould is formed of a number of articulated rigid sections provided with lift-engaging surfaces of yielding material. The side sections are pressed inwards by arms which are mounted on rock-shafts operated from a treadle. The breast gauge is simultaneously operated. The heels are compressed vertically by a presser head 134, Fig. 4, carried by an arm 122 pivoted to a lever 124, which is pivoted at 126 to the frame. The head 134 can be pulled over the form 4 by handles 138, and in its forward movement it throws in a clutch starting the main shaft 144. Cams 142 on this shaft act on rollers 140 on the lever 124 and depress the head 134 on the heel. Another cam on the shaft throws over toggle links 186, 188, causing a plunger 184 to drive nails into the heel. As the nail-driving mechanism operates, a stop is released which throws the clutch on the main shaft out of gear. The shaft is stopped promptly by a brake 200 engaging a cam 194 on the shaft. A tank 210 for holding the paste employed in building heels is attached to the front of the machine.
