Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 28,330. Amphlet, S. W., and Roberts, A. Dec. 12. Pressure gauges. -Relates to the apparatus described in Specification No. 24,881, A.D. 1906, for isolating the pressure gauge from the pump during the inflation of the tyro &c., and for directly connecting the gauge and the tyre when desired. The push-rod 1, Fig. 6, carrying the isolation valve 2 and the rubber or other washer 9, works loosely in a passage 3, to which the pressure gauge 5 is connected. During the operation of pumping, the gauge 5 is freely open to the air by means of the passage 3, and is therefore not affected by the fluctuations of the pressure within the tyre. On pushing in the rod 1, the isolation valve 2 and the tyre valve 7 are raised, and the washer 9 is forced against the seating 10. The tyre and gauge are thus connected, and communication between the gauge and the outside air is cut off. In a modification, the auxiliary valve 9, Fig. 7, for shutting the relief passage, is enclosed within a chamber 12.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Percussive Rock-drills.
Inventor: IRONSIDE EDWARD ALLAN
Filed: 1907-11-08
Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 24,778. Ironside, E. A. Nov. 8. Rock drills.-A distribution valve for a pneumatic percussive rock drill is arranged so that the valve piston performs a short travel only, and so that the compression of the normal air in the reversing compartments is small so as to avoid the formation of an air cushion. The valve piston comprises an enlarged central portion o with bevelled faces, and two necks carrying hollow plungers t, t<1>. The valve box comprises an enlarged central portion d having a compressed-air inlet c and formed with bevelled faces r, against which the faces of the portion o of the valve piston abut. The space d communicates with annular spaces e, e<1> which are connected with the cylinder b by ducts f, f<1>. The spaces e, e<1> communicate with spaces g, g', which are in permanent connexion with an outlet l, and compartments m, m<1> at the ends of the valve box communicate with the cylinder b through ducts n, n<1>. When the valve piston is in the position shown, compressed air entering at c passes through the duct f to the cylinder b and drives the piston b<1> to the left, the air at the other side of the piston b<1> being exhausted through the passages f<1>, e<1>, g<1>. As soon as the port of the duct n<1> is uncovered, compressed air passes to the space m<1> and drives the valve piston to the left, reversing the connexions and consequently the movement of the piston b<1>. Owing to the short travel of the valve piston and the comparatively large size of the spaces m, m<1>, the ducts n, n', and hollow plungers t, t<1>, the compression in the chambers m, m<1> is slight.

Breech actions, sliding- barrel and breech-block.- The barrel a and breechblock b recoil against a strong spring f, and are returned together to the normal position ; the breech is then unlocked and the barrel continues its forward movement against a weaker spring g, and opens the breech. The barrel is finally returned by the spring g to close the breech. The breech-block is locked to the barrel by a series of rocking hooks b<1>, Figs. 2 and 5, which move with the breech-block and are closed on to the barrel by a cam - ring c. The hooks are disengaged, when the barrel and breech-block move slightly in advance of the normal position, by the engagement of a projection b<4> at the rear of each hook with the back edge of the ring c. One of the rocking hooks is modified to form the extractor. To prevent firing except when the parts are in the correct position, the sear o, Fig. 2, is operated by a pin p<3> on the link p<2>, which is pivoted to the trigger p and to a vertical spring-pressed plunger q. The top of the plunger engages a cam w on the breech-block, so that it is depressed to bring the pin p<3> into engagement with the sear only when the breech mechanism is in the firing position. The breech can be opened by hand, by pulling the barrel forwards.
