Title: Safety-valves for Automatically Shutting Off Water-conduits when Damaged.
Inventor: SAMAIN PIERRE
IPC: F16K17/32
Filed: 1909-04-13
Granted: 1910-04-13
Abstract: 8730. Samain, P. April 13. Valves closing with rush of fluid.-A valve, specially designed for water conduits, adapted to close should the conduit be damaged, comprises a plug lift valve 8, normally held out of engagement with its seat 26 by fluid pressure acting on a piston 6 against the action of a multiple spring 18. Fluid pressure is admitted to the cylinder 1 by passage-ways 19, 20 controlled by ball check valves 22, 23, and is exhausted, when the pressure in the conduit falls, through the hollow valve spindle 10 and spring-loaded check valves 24, 25. A balancing- piston 7 attached to the spindle 10 moves in a cylinder 5, which is closed by a plate 2 provided with perforations 15. In a modification, the combined areas of the upper and lower pistons are just greater than that of the valve, and in closing, in addition to exhausting the pressure above the upper piston, pressure is also admitted below the lower piston. In this modification, the supply to the two operating- cylinders is controlled by a distributing-valve comprising three pistons 47, 48, 49, moving in two ported cylinders 45, 46. When the pressure in the conduit falls, the pressure beneath the piston 47 is released through by-passes 61 in the seats of the ball check valves 59 and the port 42, allowing the spring 51 to move the three pistons downwards. The piston 48 then uncovers the holes 53 and covers the holes 54 to put the passage 63, which leads to the underside of the lower piston, in communication with the passage 57, instead of in communication with the outlet 64. At the same time, the piston 49 closes the passage 41, which admits the fluid pressure to the upper side of the piston 30 and uncovers the holes 55 to put this space in communication with the outlet through the " shock-absorber " B. To open the valve, the release cock 75 is opened to drain away the water trapped above the piston 47. The apparatus may be hand-operated. Shocks, preventing.-The shock-absorber B comprises a perforated tubular piston 69 moved downwards by a head 71 on a rod 70 secured to the piston 30 and moved, as the piston rises, to restrict gradually the outlet for water above the piston.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Brake Apparatus, particularly applicable to Railway Carriage and Wagon Brakes.
Inventor: BOWLES GEORGE BARKER
IPC: B61H15/00
Filed: 1909-06-08
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 13,393. Bowles, G B. June 8. Compensating for wear. -Railway carriage and wagon brakes having automatic adjustment for wear, such as are described in Specification 27,547/07, are fitted with a locking - device which prevents forward movement of the adjusting-gear when the brakes are off, the device being released by the first movement of the brake operating -lever. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement in which the brake is applied by a lever b acting through a pawl e upon a ratchet quadrant c, the automatic adjustment for wear being effected by a pawl h which slips over a tooth when the movement of the quadrant c becomes excessive. The locking device consists of a pair of links i connected at their lower ends by a pin j, which may have a flat face, adapted to engage the teeth of the quadrant just below the edge of the lever b. The pin j is moved out of engagement by pins k on the lever b when the brake is applied, and, to ensure re-engagement of the pin j, a second pair of pins l may be provided on the lever b on the other side of the links i. A modification is described in which the pawl e and pins k, l are carried by a separate arm, this arm and the operating lever being keyed to the shaft a and the quadrant c loosely mounted thereon. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which a tooth m<1> on a pivoted latch m normally engages the upper teeth of the quadrant, but is rapidly released upon the initial movement of the lever b by one or more rods n.

Title: Improvements relating to the Separation of Substances by the Wet Magnetic Process.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: B03C1/08

Granted: 1910-08-29
Abstract: 17,459. Lake, W. E., [Krupp Akt.-Ges. Grusonwerk, F.]. July 27. Magnetic separators. -In a wet magnetic separating - process, liquid walls or columns are formed between the surface of the flowing liquid and the conveyer, so that the magnetic particles may be attracted to the surface of the conveyer without having to overcome the surface tension of the liquid. The conveyer b is formed of magnetic material, and has a tapered lower edge which is arranged near enough to the surface of the liquid e to obtain the liquid column a by adhesion; a stationary magnet c is situated below the liquid. The formation of the column may be assisted by supplying liquid from above, either through openings g in the conveyer or by spray pipes. If the conveyer is of non-magnetic material, additional magnets are placed above it.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Feeding Boilers and Furnaces.
Inventor: DOILLET LOUIS
IPC: F23D11/10
Filed: 1909-09-18
Granted: 1910-09-19
Abstract: 21,387. Doillet, L., and Faure, P. R. Sept. 21, 1908, [Convention date]. S p r a y burners; oilsupply fittings burners, regulating and controlling. -In a liquid-fuel steamgenerator furnace, a hand or automatically operated valve controls the air supplied by a fan, which is driven by an engine supplied by the boiler, to the furnace burner, the liquid fuel being supplied by the pressure of the air from a reservoir located in the air-conduit, in which it is maintained at a constant level; a pump for simultaneously regulating the feed-water supply, in which the suction stroke is effected by a cam actuated by the engine, and the pressure stroke by an adjustable spring, may be provided. The application of the furnace to an instantaneous steam - generator is illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. The fan 18 is driven from the pulley 17 by a belt or chain 19, and forces air to the burner through a conduit communicating with the fuel receptacle 22, which has a float valve 23. Oil flows into this receptacle through the pipe 24, and is forced therefrom by the air pressure, through the pipe 25, to the spraying-nozzle 26. The cones 21 in the burner may be replaced by refractory baffle - plates. The air supply is regulated by the valve 28 on the nozzle 27, which is displaced by a lever 29 actuated by band or otherwise, and permits more or less loss. A water, mercury, or other liquid thermostat may be placed in the steam - supply pipe and connected to a chamber containing a diaphragm, which operates the valve 28. When the boiler is of a type containing a large volume of water, the pressure apparatus may be connected directly to the boiler steam space. Normally, the pulley 17 and the fan 18 are driven by the engine 8 through the clutch 16, but they may be independently driven, mechanically or by hand, to raise steam initially. An alternative manually - operated arrangement is shown. This comprises a handle 30 arranged on a screw 31 and carrying a push-piece 32 which, as the handle is rotated, acts on a rod 33 and lever 34, so releasing the clutch 16. When the handle abuts on the collar 35, it actuates, through the wheels 36, 37, the pulley 17 and fan 18. On unscrewing the handle, the clutch 16 is again thrown into engagement by the spring 38. The engine may be detached from the transmission shaft by a clutch 39, to allow the independent operation of the feeding-devices.
