Patent GB-189712111-A (GB)
Title: Improved Means for Stoppering Bottles and like Receptacles and for Measuring and Registering the Liquid withdrawn therefrom.
Inventor: PERIER JACQUES THEOPHILE
Filed: 1897-05-15
Granted: 1898-03-19
Abstract: 12,111. Perier, J., [known as Perier, T.]. May 15. Measured quantities, delivering; counting-apparatus.-Relates to means for stoppering bottles &c., for delivering the contents of such vessels in measured quantities, for counting the number of measured quantities delivered, and for preventing the refilling of the vessels. The stopper is of plug form, and is fixed in the neck of the vessel by means of cement, or by a wire fastened with a suitable seal &c. It comprises a measuring- chamber d, which communicates through the liquid and air passages b<1>, c<1> with the corresponding passages b, c in the tap a, when the latter is in its open position, as shown. The chamber d can also be put in communication with the body of the vessel through the disc valve f, which is held closed by the spring g when the tap a is in its open position, and is opened by the cam h on the tap, when the latter is turned through half a revolution into its closed position. In use, the vessel is first inverted, and the tap a closed, on which the chamber d is filled with the liquid through the open valve f. Then, the tap is turned into its open position, allowing the valve f to close and permitting the liquid in the chamber to flow out through the passages b<1>, b. Each revolution of the tap causes the cam i to turn the toothed counting-wheel k through the space of one tooth. Backward movement of the tap is prevented by the pawl m engaging the ratchet-wheel l. When the cam i comes into engagement with the blank part k<1> of the wheel k, no further movement of the tap is possible. In case liquid should be introduced into the vessel, it cannot be delivered therefrom, as the quantity which can be delivered is determined, to suit the capacity of the vessel, by the number of teeth on the wheel k. This wheel may also be connected to an indicator moving over an external dial. The quantity of liquid delivered may be varied by changing the size of the measure or by operating the apparatus a number of times in succession.

Abstract: 724. Toulmin, J. H., Coulthard, T., and Norris, W. Jan. 11. Compound and multiple-expansion engines.-Relates to compound steam, air, or like engines, and consists of a slide or rotary controlling-valve by a simple movement of which the engine may be run either as a two-cylinder simple engine or as a compound engine. Fig. 1 shows the upper part of the high and low pressure cylinders A, B with their distributing-valves D and C. Fig. 2 shows a section on the line a-6 through the controlling- valve M.

On the valve being moved to the left, high-pressure steam will also be admitted to the passage K, and the intermediate receiver will be put in communication with the atmosphere through the ports J, I. The construction of rotary valve employed is similar to that of the slide-valve described.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Supplying Oil to Explosion Engines.
Inventor: MILLOT JOSEPH
Filed: 1898-04-07
Granted: 1899-02-11
Abstract: 8383. Millot, J., and Millot, B. April 7. Gas or explosivevapour engines.- Air is drawn into the cylinder or pump through the pipe L and sucks down the piston B, Fig. 1, during its passage. The piston B is supported by a spring and carries a valve I of a chamber U containing petroleum. W h e n the piston B descends and opens the valve U, the sleeve y closes the ports g, and the stem a of the valve, being larger than the guide b, displaces a certain amount of oil which passes the valve P and enters the air pipe L in a finely-divided condition. The engine is governed by preventing the descent of the piston B cutting off communication between the top of it and the atmosphere, by means of a centrifugal governor B' which tends to close the pipe z, x, when the speed is excessive. The stroke of the piston B is controlled by a nut F.

Title: A Governor for Hydraulic Motors.
Inventor: LALLEMANT GABRIEL
Filed: 1899-01-18
Granted: 1899-05-13
Abstract: 1231. Lallemant, G., and Journaux, E. Jan. 18. Centrifugal governors; load on, adjusting; transmitting-mechanism. -Relates to governors for hydraulic motors, which automatically regulate the velocity whatever the power or resistance. The governor also comprises means for starting or stopping the motor. The general arrangement is shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows a side view. Upon the shaft D are keyed the wheel E in connection with the valve mechanism, two ratchet-wheels F and G with oppositalydirected teeth, a toothed wheel 1, and a flywheel H. A brake band g round the drum K prevents the valve from closing by its weight alone. The sensitiveness of the governor is adjusted by the portion of the weight k<8> upon the graduated rod k<7>, which is carried by the oscillating lever k pivoted on the shaft l. The fork S serving as an escapement anchor is actuated by the eccentric P on the shaft M. Square holes in the ends of the fork branches S<1>, S<2> are designed to receive movable teeth p and p<1> engaging with the wheels F or G, one tooth only being in engagement at any instant, the shaft D being turned in one direction or the other. A double clutch mechanism is mounted upon the shaft M, the sleeve of which is operated by a controlling-lever T which, when allowed to fall, effects the stoppage of the motor by closing the valve. The lever T is made to fall by the crank s<9>, Fig. 6, which is connected to the lever t<2> by the hand-operated cord t<1>, or automatically by clockwork mechanism U. The arbor of the small hand of the clock has a cam which causes the motor to stop at a particular time. The crank s<9> can also be automatically actuated when the motor is powerless to do its work at the normal velocity. The movable stop v<12> strikes upon the nose of the lever v<14> connected by a rod to the lever t' secured to the crank s<9> when the rack v<11> is made to descend by the rotation of the pointer on the spindle v<7>. An electrical device, for automatically indicating the movement of the governor or the stoppage of the motor by causing a bell to ring once or twice or to continue ringing, is also operated by the mechanism. The application of the governor to a water-wheel is described in the Specification.
