Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 2468. Deighton, F. L. Jan. 31. Detonator apparatus.-A two-armed detonator carrier is driven always in one direction by means of two gear-wheels actuated from a pair of oppositely-acting free wheels operated from a track treadle. The detonators are gripped between the fixed jaw H on the disk D and the spring-held jaw I, which is held closed by the spring L until the detonator, either spent or unused, is over the box G ; in this position, the end V of the rod K engages the cam W and opens the jaws. The apparatus is actuated from a lifting rail, moved by the signalman and by passing trains and connected to the rod S. When the lifting rail is raised by its counterweight as a train passes clear of it, or when the signalman releases the connecting-wire, the rod S moves the links T, which are connected to oppositely-acting free-wheel arrangements so that the right-hand ratchet drives the wheel O and the shaft N, and moves the disk D through onequarter of a revolution. When the rail is lowered by the signalman, or depressed by train wheels, the left-hand ratchet drives the wheel O through the wheel P a further quarter revolution in the same direction. According to the Provisional Specification, the rails may be recessed to receive the disk; also, the apparatus may be actuated from a hand-lever in the cabin or elsewhere.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Raising Liquids.
Inventor: SCHERB CARL AUGUST GUIDO
Filed: 1907-04-30
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 10,051. Scherb, C. A. G. April 30. Direct air - pressure apparatus. - In addition to the usual forcing-chambers, a double-chambered pressure vessel is also provided in which the air for expelling the liquid from the forcing- chambers is compressed, either by water admitted from a reservoir at a higher level, or by water forced into the pressure vessel by compressed air. Fig. 1 shows one form of the apparatus. In the position shown, water is flowing from the reservoir 7 into the tank 13 through the pipe 15, four-way cock 16, Fig. 2, and pipe 19, while the air in the chamber 13 is being forced through the pipe 22 so as to expel the liquid from the chamber 2 through the delivery pipe 11. As soon as the float 21 rises sufficiently, the cock 16 is operated by a tumbling lever, whereupon the water in the chamber 13 is siphoned off through the pipe 18, the non-return valve 9 closes, and a fresh supply of liquid to be raised enters the chamber 2 through the valve 4. A similar series of operations take place in the chambers 3, 14 so that a steady flow of liquid is obtained in the pipe 11. If desired, the chambers 2, 3 may draw liquid from a separate source of supply. In a modification, the pressure chambers are placed above the forcing- chambers, and a six-way valve, performing the additional function of admitting and exhausting air from the pressure chambers, replaces the four-way valve 16. Figs. 9 and 10 show one form of floatactuated device for operating the cock 16. The float lever 11<1> acts alternately on two studs 13<1>, 14<1> fitted on the back of a disk 15<1> rotatably fitted on a shaft carried by the cock. As the float lever falls through 120 degrees, it carries the disk 15<1> and the weight lever 16<1> with it until the latter reaches a vertical position, whereupon the weight lever descends rapidly through another ninety degrees, and actuates the cock through the contact of a shoulder of the plate 15<1> with a pin 18<1> on a plate rigidly attached to the spindle of the cock. At the same time the pin 13<1> is brought round again into contact with the float lever ready for the upward movement of the latter. In other modifications, pins carried on the float and weight levers work in circular slots in the plates. The mechanism may also be adapted for actuating disk valves.

Title: A New and Useful Regulating Valve for Liquid Weighing Machines.
Inventor: MEYER HEINRICH WILHELM
Filed: 1908-08-01
Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 16,368. Meyer, H. W. Aug. 1. Automatic-feed weighers; liquid-weighers; feeding - devices. - A vertically - guided slide - valve b with a rectangular discharge opening b<2> carries a U-shaped stop d, Figs. 1 and 3, which is cut away to form an inclined part d' and a shoulder d'. Mounted near the valve is a shaft f bearing a drum consisting of parts f<1>, f<2> and a projection f<3>, a spring f<4> tending to turn the whole in a counterclockwise direction. A stop g, having an inclined part g<1> and an horizontal part g<2>, is arranged on the upper part of the valve. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the valve is in its lowermost position with the feed cut off, but is drawn upwards by any convenient device attached to a bracket c until the projection f<3> snaps beneath the shoulder d'. In this position, the valve orifice b<2> registers with an orifice a<2> in the supply pipe, and the feed is fully open. When the receptacle is nearly fully loaded, it rotates slightly and tilts a lever h<1> to the left, which, by turning the shaft f against the spring f<4>, disengages the projection f<3> and thus allows the valve b to sink under its own weight until the shoulder g<2> comes against the stop f<2>. The valve opening is then very small, and, on the correct weight being reached, the receptacle sinks and disengages the lever h<1> in known manner. The shaft f then trips backs into the position shown in Fig. 1, and so permits the valve to complete the cut-off. To hold the valve edges parallel with the edges of the orifice a', a shaft k at the other side of the valve is connected by links h<2>, k<1>, k<2> to the shaft f, and is provided with a drum integral with an eccentrically-arranged part m and a projection m<2>, Fig. 3. These latter parts engage at the proper times with corresponding projections on the valve, and thus maintain a parallel discharge opening. To prevent jamming of the slide, the valve seat a<4>, Fig. 3, does not run exactly parallel to the bottom of the dovetail pieces b<4>, so that the upper part of the slide does not bear tightly on its seat.
