Title: Improvements in Water Clarification.
Inventor: VIAL EMILE
Filed: 1904-06-14
Granted: 1905-06-01
Abstract: 13,436. Vial, E. June 14. Foul waters, treating; precipitating.-A precipitation tank for clarifying muddy water is so constructed that the water is passed continuously through it in a thin layer, which remains on the surface and does not disturb the liquid or sediment below. The water, on entering the tank, flows over a horizontal plate c, Fig. 2, of brick or stonework, which retains the larger impurities and distributes the water evenly. The tank is divided by partitions 6, 7, &c , which extend at the top to the level of the plate and at the bottom nearly to the base a of the tank. The latter is preferably inclined, as are also the sides a, shown in crosssection in Fig. 4. The sediment may be removed by means of a pump.

Title: Improvements in Vaccum Brake Apparatus for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: CLOUD JOHN WILLIS
Filed: 1904-06-25
Granted: 1905-04-13
Abstract: 14,318. Cloud, J. W. June 25. Brakes.-Relates to means for quickening the partial or service application of vacuum brakes without bringing on the full emergency application. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, there is fitted between the train-pipe 4 and its connection to the brake cylinder at 5 a valve apparatus in connection with a small reservoir 3, called a " vesti- "bule reservoir," containing a limited supply of air at atmospheric pressure. If a sudden small increase of pressure takes place in the train-pipe 4, it causes a diaghragm 6 to move to the right against the pressure of a spring 15 until a collar 16 upon its stem abuts against a sleeve 17, when the additional resistance of a second spring 18 will arrest the motion. The diaphragm stem is connected with a slide valve 11, which will therefore be moved to the right far enough to open a port 12 through which air will pass from the reservoir 3 to the train-pipe to hasten the action of the brakes. After a sufficient lapse of time, leakage of air through a hole 8 in the diaphragm will have equalized the pressure on the two sides of the diaphragm, which will then be returned to its original position by the spring 15, and will move the slide valve to close the port 12. The reservoir 3 will be re-charged from the atmosphere by leakage from the atmospheric port 13 through a clearance passage 14 at the top of the slide valve. In an emergency application, the sudden large increase of train-pipe pressure will cause the diaphragm 6 to move to the right against the pressure of both springs 15, 18, to such an extent that the slide valve will move past the atmospheric port 13, and air from the atmosphere will then pass into the train-pipe. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, two lift valves are employed instead of the slide valve. Each valve is connected to its own operating-diaphragm. The casing of the valve 11 is connected with the vestibule reservoir 3, and that of the valve 19 with the atmosphere through ports 21. The valve 11 alone is operated by a small sudden increase of pressure in the train-pipe 4, and admits air from the reservoir 3 to the train-pipe. The other valve 19, being weighted as at 20 or fitted with a spring, will be operated only by a large sudden increase of train-pipe pressure for the emergency application. The reservoir 3 is re-charged by leakage through a hole 22. Leakage passages are also provided through the diaphragms to effect the closing of the valves. In a modification of the valve shown on the right of Fig. 2, the leakage passage through the diaphragm is such that its area increases when the valve is raised, in order to ensure prompt closing of the valve. A spring is also provided for the same purpose. In a further modification, the small reservoir 3 is applied to the well-known form of accelerating- valve.
