Abstract: 12,468. Ramsay, R., Curley, A., and Young, J. R. May 26. Hand actuation by shunters. In railway-wagon or like vehicle brakes, in which an attachment is connected to the usual brake lever to enable the lever to be held in either of its extreme positions or remain free, the attachment consists of a rotary member provided with means which, in one position, hold a detent in engagement with the rotary member, in another position, lock the rotary member itself, and, in an intermediate position, leave both detent and rotary member free. The brake lever is connected by a link or strap B<3> to a lever B<2> on a cross-shaft B provided with a ratchet disk B', the other end of the cross-shaft B preferably having a lever to enable the brake to be operated from the opposite side of the vehicle. A detent C, normally held out of engagement with the ratchet disk B' by a spring C<2>, is pivoted at C' to the back plate D of a casing secured to the sole-plate, and is moved into engagement with the ratchet-wheel B, in order to lock the brake in its " on position, by a projection E' on a bar E which slides between rollers e. The bar E is moved by a rack and pinion E<2>, F, the pinion F being mounted on a cross-shaft F<1> extending across the vehicle and provided with a lever F<2> at one or both ends. The bar E is held in any of three positions by a spring f<3>, on the cover-plate of the casing, engaging projections f<2> or flats on one of the levers F'. In the position shown, the projection E<1> engages with a flattened portion b<1> of the disk B<1> and holds the brake lever in its " off " position, but, when the bar E is moved into an intermediate position, the projection E<1> is free both of the flat b<1> and detent C, thus enabling the brake lever to be moved freely. Large wagons have two such devices fitted at opposite corners of the vehicle.

Abstract: 26,139. Millington, W. E. W. Nov. 11. Priming.-An automatic priming-valve for a pump is controlled by the differences in pressure in the pump-delivery pipe consequent upon variations in friction head brought about when the pump delivers air instead of water. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the priming-circuit consists of branch pipes 7, 4, leading from the delivery to the suction pipe, and containing a balanced valve 10, which is controlled by a diaphragm 13 subject on the underside to the pressure at the foot of the delivery pipe, and on the upper side to the static head of a column of water in a pipe 14 connected to the top of the delivery pipe. The steady pressure above the diaphragm may be secured by a weight or spring, or by liquid drawn from the foot of the delivery pipe and maintained at constant pressure by means of a reducing-valve. When no suction valve is attached to the pump, the diaphragm 13 and valve 10 are replaced by a piston valve controlling a steam ejector for withdrawing air from the pump barrel.
