Title: Improvements in Compressed Air Brakes for Railway Trains
Inventor: LUYERS CHARLES
Filed: 1903-09-28
Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 20,854. Luyers, C. Sept. 29, A.D. 1902, [date appliedfor under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Brakes.-In pneumatic pressure brakes, the engineer's valve is arranged to allow either a moderate fall in pressure in the train-pipe so as to produce a partial braking on inclines and curves, or a large fall, the amount of which can be previously determined, to produce the most effectual braking possible in the existing atmospheric conditions. When the engineer's valve 3 is in the open position, air from the compressed-air reservoir passes through the tube 4, ducts 6, 7, and chamber 9 to the train-pipe 2, and through the ducts 11, 12 to a central chamber 10. One side of the chamber 9 consists of a diaphragm 18 which is pressed inwards by a spring 16 regulated by means of a screw 17, and, as soon as the pressure in the train-pipe and chamber 9 forces outwards the diaphragm, the spring 15 can move a pivoted plug 14 sufficiently to close the duct 7. The train-pipe communicates with a chamber 26, which is separated from the chamber 10 by a caoutchouc or like diaphragm 24 strengthened by an embedded metal ring 54 pierced with holes, into which the elastic material enters. The diaphragm is secured in position by a perforated concave plate 56, which is adjusted by means of screws 62 passing through a ring 58 fitted into grooves in the casing, and a pipe 26, which can be closed by the diaphragm, leads from the chamber 26 to the atmosphere. In ordinary running, the preesure in the chamber 10 forces the diaphragm to close the pipe 25, bat when the engineer's valve is moved to place the chamber 10 in communication with a second chamber 22 through the ducts 12, 11, the pressure in the chamber 26 forces the diaphragm away from the pipe 25, through which air then escapes from the train-pipe until the pressure in it is diminished sufficiently to allow the diaphragm to close the pipe 25 again. A similar action occurs when the engineer's valve is moved to place the chamber 10 in communication with the chamber 22 and an adjustable chamber 1, aod by previously adjusting the capacity of the chamber 1 by means of the piston 21 and screw 20, the parts are so arranged that the full application of the brake produces the maximum effect possible in the existing atmospheric conditions.
