Title: Improvements in flush valves
IPC: E03D3/04
Filed: 1933-03-15
Abstract: 410,944. Fluid - actuated valves. HELLYER, R. H., 35, Red Lion Square, High Holborn, London. March 15, 1933, No. 7814. [Class 135.] Valves controlled by pilot or relay valves.-A flushing valve of the kind actuated by fluid pressure acting on a piston under the control of a manually actuated tiltable auxiliary valve co-operating with a seating on the main piston is fitted with a dashpot device to prevent the main valve being held in the open position. The main piston 4 is provided with a leak orifice 13 and is internally shouldered to provide a seat 11 for the auxiliary valve 16 which has a conical depending guide spigot adapted to permit the valve to tilt. The auxiliary valve is formed integrally with a dashpot cylinder 14 provided with a leak port 20 and containing a plunger 15 with a depending stem 18 normally in the path of a push actuated operating plunger 7. On operating this plunger the auxiliary valve is tilted and the main valve opened by inlet pressure acting on the lower side of the piston. Should the plunger 7 be held depressed while the main valve is closing the stem 18 engages the plunger and the dashpot cylinder then moves over the plunger and allows the main valve to continue its closing movement. The leak port 20 may be replaced by a leaky non- return ball valve to permit fluid passing out of the cylinder at a greater rate than it enters.

Title: Tamping device for railway sleepers
IPC: E01B27/14
Filed: 1929-03-11
Abstract: 330,574. Christiansen, H. March 11, 1929. Percussive tools.-A long - handled portable device for use in ramming railway ballast comprises a free piston 37 actuated in the manner of a two-stroke cycle internal-combustion engine and adapted to deliver an approximately horizontal blow on a tamping tool 34, which is retracted by a spring (not shown). The chamber 35, into which the charge is drawn through a port 43 past a carburetting orifice 44, serves as a pre-compression chamber for the charge, which then passes through the transfer passage 41 into the combustion chamber 36, effecting a scavenging operation as indicated by arrows. The piston rebounds to the left after striking the tool shank, the rebound being aided by the cushioning in the chamber 35, and ignites the charge by striking a contact breaker 48. A starting lever 55 is actuated by hand or foot. In a modified device the positions of the compression 'and combustion chambers are interchanged, the blow being given by the rebound of the striker after, compression. In this case the starting lever engages a tail rod by a toothed sector. In a further modification the striker may be mounted inside the piston and connected thereto by springs. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the striking piston 71 is actuated at right angles to the combustion cylinder by air pressure operating through passages 69, 73. A spring may be used to move the piston 71 in one direction.

Filed: 1975-02-26
Abstract: 1447958 Gripping tools H K PORTER CO Inc 26 Feb 1975 8048/75 Headings B4W and B4C A tool for releasably gripping and pulling a rod 8 comprises a support structure 1, a rodclamping assembly 20-26, mounted for movement relative to the structure, means, e.g. hand levers 3, 4 for causing this relative movement and means 27, 31 for releasing a rod from the grip of the clamping assembly at one end of the relative movement. The clamping assembly includes a split clamping washer 24 held in a cupshaped housing 20 the split washer being spring- biased to a gripping position in which it is an interference fit between a rod 8 and the housing. A ridge member 27 mounted on a base portion of the tubular support structure 1 protrudes through an aperture 26 in the base of the clamping assembly when the latter is in its lowermost position relative to the support structure to tilt and thereby release the split washer 24 from its gripping position. In an alternative embodiment the split washer does not engage the rod directly but through two elongate jaws shaped to embrace the rod. The tool is particularly intended for pulling the stem 8 of a roof hook bolt through a fastener disc 9 of a type having a central aperture with an array of barbs or tongues. It is envisaged that the tool may be operated by power means instead of the hand levers 3, 4.

[Also in Group XXIX] Means for providing a seal between two parts comprising on the one hand the body 25 of a pressure vessel and on the other hand a closure 26 of the vessel, comprises an annular seating member 17 mounted on one of the said parts so as to be movable in an axial direction relative thereto whilst remaining in sealing engagement therewith, and having at one axial end an annular sealing element 18 which is axially movable relative to the seating member 17 by means of fluid pressure, whereby one axial end of the sealing element 18 can be brought into sealing engagement with the other of said parts when the seating member 17 is advanced toward said other part. As shown, the end of the seating member toward the body of the vessel is formed as an annular piston 13 having convex sides and to which fluid pressure can be applied through a connection (not shown), this piston being opposed by a similarly shaped loose annular piston 20 engaging the seating member and to which fluid pressure can be applied through a connection 21, whereby to advance or retract the seating member. Fluid pressure is applied behind the sealing through a connection 28 in the body which communicates, through a sliding connection as shown carried by the piston 13 and passages in the seating member, with a space behind the sealing element. In a modification, the arrangement is reversed in that the seating member and sealing element are arranged to take up against the body of the vessel instead of the closure. The scope of the invention covers sealing between a movable valve closure and a valve body (see Group XXIX).
