Patent GB-190812635-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Double Beat or Equilibrium Valves.
Filed: 1908-06-12
Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 12,635. Hopkinson, A. H., Kilburn, R., and Hopkinson & Co., J. June 12. Double-beat valves; lift valves.-Double-beat or equilibrium valves are connected together by means external to the valve casing so that the relative positions of the two valves may be readily adjusted, thereby ensuring a tight closure at varying pressures and temperatures. For this purpose, the upper valve E is secured to a sleeve F which embraces the spindle B of the'lower valve A. The sleeve F is provided with a stuffing-box K for the inner spindle, and with a bridge L, so that by means of the nut P and the hand-adjusted nut N on the inner spindle, arranged below and above the bridge respectively, the relative adjustment is obtained. A key in the bridge L, engaging a keyway in the spindle B, prevents the relative rotation of the sleeve and spindle. The bridge L is also preferably prolonged and its ends hollowed to engage the pillars Q, to prevent the whole device' from rotating during adjustment. The bridge L also serves to indicate the position of the valves. The valves are connected to the spindle and sleeve by heads thereon retained in recesses in the valves by screwed sleeves, as shown. The heads of the spindle and sleeve are curved underneath, and bear upon curved surfaces whereby the valves adjust themselves to their seats without straining the spindle or sleeve.

Abstract: 15,317. Pr÷tt, C. H. June 30. Alternating-current motors; armatures.-An induction or other motor is provided with an idle armature 4 on each side of the working armature 1 so as to increase the leakage field of the magnetic system 2 at starting and thereby to regulate the starting velocity of the motor.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Apparatus for Controlling the Supply of Gas to Burners.
Inventor: NORTH ROBERT BENSON
IPC: F23Q21/00
Filed: 1909-07-06
Granted: 1910-07-06
Abstract: 15,768. North, R. B. July 6. Actuating valves and cocks.-In apparatus for operating gas cocks by variations of pressure in the mains, a diaphragm chamber is connected by two pawls with a ratchet-wheel in such a manner that a partial collapse of the chamber acts through one pawl to turn the gas on, and a complete collapse acts through the other pawl to turn the gas off. In a casing a through which the gas pipe passes is placed a diaphragm chamber b with expansible sides c, d. Bearing on these sides are dissimilar, or dissimilarly weighted, levers r t and u w, pivoted at p, q respectively and carrying weights z on arms s, v. At the upper ends of the levers are pivoted pawls 1, 2, engaging a ratchet-wheel 3 on the spindle j of the gas cock, the length of the pawls being so arranged that when one engages a tooth of the wheel, the other is midway between two teeth, which have part circular portions. When the pressure is diminished, the side of the chamber b upon which the heavier lever bears, collapses, the ratchet - wheel is advanced half a tooth, the gas is turned on, and the other pawl is set. On a further decrease of pressure, the other side collapses and the gas is turned off. The pawls are reset by raising the pressure. To ensure certainty of action, a star-wheel having twice as many teeth as the ratchet-wheel, and provided with a detent, is fitted on the spindle j.
