Title: Improved Means for Regulating the Supply of Gas in Apparatus in which the Gas Flame is Required to be Automatically Reduced or Increased.
IPC: G05D23/02
Filed: 1909-03-23
Granted: 1910-03-23
Abstract: 6911. Fletcher, Russell, & Co., Neil, A., and Fletcher, T. W. March 23. Actuating valves ; sliding valves ; oscillating disk valves.-A device for regulating the supply of gas to a gas burner comprises two perforated disks a, b, Figs. 1 and 2, one of which is capable of sliding over the other in order to diminish the effective size of the holes c through which the gas passes. Fig. 3 shows an adaptation of the apparatus to a vessel k containing liquid to be heated by gas. The elongation of the rod g due to rise of temperature causes the relative movement of the disk in the casing m by means of the lever l, the gas being thus shut off with the exception of a pilot light. An adaptation to a gas stove is shown in Fig. 4, wherein the placing of a utensil on one end of the lever l, or the weight l<3> on the other end, operates the valve.

Abstract: 24,157. Bagguley, W. Oct. 21. Cutting and slicing meat and the like.-In slicing-machines having a rotary obliquely-mounted swinging knife A formed integral with a pinion D driven through a spur-wheel E from a pinion F on the hand-wheel shaft, and in which the intermediate pinion is linked to the base by a crank-arm G, the shaft B, carrying the knife and the pinion D, is set at an inclination to the horizontal and vertical planes passing through the first-motion shaft. With this arrangement, the cutting-edge, after having severed a slice, moves away from the material cut in order to separate the slice. The feed-motion is derived from a pin I on the lever C carrying the knife moving in a slot in an arm L on a shaft N. This shaft carries a second arm M communicating a rocking motion to a link K by a pin .J. The lever K imparts a step-by-step motion to the feed-screw O by ratchet mechanism.

Title: An Improved Fluid Pressure Relay.
Filed: 1910-06-30
Granted: 1911-06-30
Abstract: 15,744. Soc. des Etablissements Gaumont. May 30, [Convention date]. Fluid-pressure relays. - Relates to a fluidpressure relay for amplifying simple or compound vibratory movements other than acoustic waves. Fig. 1 illustrates diagrammatically the mode of operation of the relay. Compressed fluid passes through a chamber 2 from an inlet 1 to an outlet 4, and a small portion escapes to the atmosphere round the periphery of a thin disk or washer 3 and thence through an orifice provided with an obturator 9. If the orifice is closed, the excess pressure behind the washer 3 closes the outlet 4, but by making the passage round the periphery of the disk, the space behind the disk, and the orifice, all sufficiently small, a very small electric or other movement imparted to the obturator 9 produces a corresponding movement of the washer and so amplifies the movement. The outlet 4 and orifice 7 may be simple or multiple, and may take the form of holes or slots with a pleated contour (so as to increase the periphery without increasing the section) or stars, parallel slots, herring-boned slots, &c. A double, triple, or multiple relay may be formed by utilizing the movement of the washer 3 to effect the movement of a larger washer, and so on. The washers may be made of steel, aluminium, celluloid, india-rubber, paper, &c., according to the nature of the fluid, also either soft or rigid, and of any desired form other than circular. If the washer is soft, the outlet need not be perfectly plane. The washer may be made of equal diameter to the chamber 2, and the fluid permitted to escape to the rear thereof through passages in the walls of the casing; the area of such passages may be regulated by means of screw-pins. Fig. 3 shows an apparatus as commercially constructed. The casing 14 is constructed so as to provide an annular seating for the washer 17 when it obturates the outlet 13. The limited space behind the washer is formed by a screw-plug 18 provided with a curved face 19 in which are formed radial slots communicating with the orifice 22. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the application of the device for amplifying acoustic waves; this subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

A belt-driven shaft 2 mounted in bearings on a standard is fitted at each end with a pair of brushes 8, one for applying the dressing and the other for polishing. The brushes are enclosed by a casing formed in three parts, the lower part 11 being fixed in position and the other parts 12, 23 being detachable. In ordinary use the section 23 only is removed, and the boot is presented to the brushes in the opening thus formed. When the brushes are to be removed from their shaft, the section 12 is detached. For cleaning the brushes 8, the section 23 is secured in position, and sliding brushes 38 are pressed into engagement with the rotating brushes 8 by handles 36.
