As shown in Fig. 1, the capsule 3 is enclosed in a chamber 1, screwing into the lower end of which is a tubular piercer 4 surrounded by two connected sleeves 7, 9, the latter having a bore 10 to connect with the central or eccentric bore 4<a> of the piercer 4; and the pressure at the joint between the members 4, 9 i s maintained by a spring 6 placed on a shoulder of the member 4. At the upper end of the pen a spring and ball or poppet valve 18 are placed in the bore of another tubular piercer 14, while a spring 21, arranged between a shoulder 14<a> and the cap 13, supplies the pressure necessary to effect the piercing of the capsule on affixing the said cap in position. In order to prevent leakage of ink into the chamber 1 rubber cushions 12<a>, 22, through which the piercers project, are placed at each end of the chamber. By revolving the sleeves 7, 9, the bores 10, 4<a> may be put into communication when desired, and the supply of ink to the nib regulated. The upper portion of the pen may be modified either as in Fig. 3, where the piercer 15<a> is attached to the cap and the vent regulated by screwing the cap up or down, a spring 26 maintaining the pressure at the lower end between the capsule and cushion 12<a>; or as in Fig. 7, where, for venting the pen, the tubular piercer is arranged to connect the capsule with a collapsible air chamber 28.

Abstract: 2475. Newton, P. A., [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. Jan. 31. F o r c e - f e e d lub r i c a t o r s. - A throttle valve is provided with a lubricator for feeding small quantities of oil to the fl u i d passing through the valve. The casing 1 is formed with an oil - reservoir 10, communicating by ports 23, 24 with shallow recesses 21, 22 in the plug 3. Passages 19, 20 connect the recesses with a chamber 15 containing a plunger 16, which is normally kept in the central position by springs 25, 26. The ends of the plunger are pointed and adapted to close the passages 19, 20. When the valve is open, as shown in the Figures, oil passes to the chamber 15 on both sides of the plunger. When the valve is closed, the recesses 21, 22 come into communication with the ports 6, 7 of the valve, and the pressure of the fluid on the inlet side 6 causes the plunger to force a small quantity of oil to the outlet port 7. The end of the plunger then closes the corresponding opening 18. The reservoir is filled by means of passages 12, 14 in the plug 3.

Abstract: 16,404. Palen, F. P., and Burlingham, W. Dec. 2, 1910, [Convention date]. Ashes, discharging. - In ash - dischargers having an hydraulic discharge system, the discharge valve being adapted to operate automatically and to open only when the hydraulic pressure in the discharge pipe is sufficient to overcome the pressure of the sea-water, an improved form of valve is provided and also mechanism operated by the sea-water pressure for the purpose of closing the ash hopper valve. The discharge pipe 6, open to the sea at the lower end, is connected by the valve 5 to an enlarged conical - shaped elbow chamber 4 to which water under pressure is supplied from the pump 8 by the pipe 7. A weighted pivoted valve 42 closes the lower end of the ash pipe 3, and is larger in area than the pipe 3, so that the flow of water from the pump 8 will open the valve 42 when it overcomes the pressure of the sea-water. The valve 2 of the ash hopper is actuated by the piston-rod 13 and link 12 from the cylinders 14, 15 with differential pistons, the larger piston 16 being open on one side to the sea and on the other to the atmosphere, and the smaller piston 15 having atmospheric pressure on one side and the pump pressure on the other. A rise in the pump pressure opens the valve 2. A sparge pipe is connected to the valve 33 for cleaning the hopper.
