Granted: 1910-05-21
Abstract: 9327. Brindley, H. S. B., and Berry, H. April 20. Actuating valves; combinations of interdependent valves.-Controlling-valves for fluid under pressure, of the kind in which the inlet and exhaust valves are arranged in a common chamber and one valve serves as the seat for the other valve, are provided with means whereby the valves are automatically held on their seatings in a single acting arrangement. Fig. 1 shows one form, in which the inlet valve e seats upon the exhaust valve d, which itself seats upon the casing c. Pressure fluid enters the passage a, and is led to the cylinder through the port f, and to the exhaust through the port b. The valve d is held against its seat bv fluid pressure or spring pressure, and is forced away by the downward motion of the valve e caused bv the rotation of a crank-pin h. A port g allows the fluid pressure to act on the top of the valve e. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the valve d is formed with a reduced extension d<1> and is closed at one end, pressure fluid being admitted to the interior of the valve by port l. A passage n allows communication between the end of the part d<1> and the passage f. Fig. 5 shows a modified form of single-acting valve. The exhaust valve d is formed with an open extension d' in which fits a piston e', carried on an extension e<2> of the inlet valve e. This is held on its seating by the difference in pressure on the areas of the parts e<3>, e. Channels n are formed in the valve e, extensions e<2>, and piston e<3> to admit fluid to the underside of the valve extension d' to neutralize the effect of the pressure on the top of the valve d.

Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 13,164. Lorenz, E. H. June 5, 1908, [Convention date]. Back spacing mechanism; letter - spacing mechanism.-The back-spacing dog 42, Fig. 1, engages the letter-spacing escapement-wheel 8 and is provided with an overthrow-preventing device which engages the clutch 11, 12, Fig. 8, connecting the escapement-wheel to the shaft 2 that carries the carriage feed-pinion. The wheel 8 is loose on the shaft 2 and is provided with face teeth 11 engaging face teeth 12 on a sleeve 13 which is feathered on the shaft by means of a key 14. The teeth 11, 12 form a clutch and are held in engagement by a spring 18 placed between the sleeve 13, and a housing 15 secured to the shaft, the arrangement being such that the escapementwheel is coupled to the shaft when the carriage is letter-spaced, but remains stationary when the carriage is returned in the ordinary manner to linecommencing position. The back-spacing key 36, Fig. 1, is carried by a bell-crank lever 35 connected by a link 31 to a bell-crank lever 25, which is connected by a link 23 to an arm 21 journaled on the foot-step 3 of the shaft 2. The back-spacing dog 42 is pivoted at 43 on the arm 21 and is formed with a tail 44 which enters between tines 45, 46 on the link 23. When the key 36 is depressed, the link 23 is swung, and the tine 45 is moved out of the way of the tail 44, the dog being moved by means of a spring 48 into gear with the teeth 47. Further movement of the key 36 swings the arm 21 and the dog 42 into the position shown in Fig. 7, thereby rotating the escapement-wheel and backspacing the carriage. At the end of the stroke the tine 46 engages the tail 44 and locks the dog into the teeth 47 thereby preventing further movement of the escapement-wheel. The key-lever 35 is provided with stops and a restoring-spring 40. To prevent overthrow of the carriage, the dog 42 is formed with a finger 51 having a hooked part 52, which catches over a collar 17, Fig. 8, on the clutch sleeve 13 when the dog is swung. The two parts of the clutch are thereby prevented from separating, and the carriage is prevented from being overthrown when the back-spacing key is struck violently or rapidly. In a modification, shown in Fig. 12, the finger 51 is replaced by a cam 62 provided with a recess 68 for engaging the clutch. The cam 62 is pivoted at 63 and guided by a pin-and-slot 64 and is provided with a slot 67 for engagement with the link 23. In another modification, the escapement-wheel is fast on the shaft 2 and the clutch is arranged between the pinion and the shaft.

Moulding - machines; coremaking.-The centre-pin which supports the strickle &c. for moulding turbine cylinders &c., is mounted on one or more slides so that it can be moved in any desired direction. In moulding a turbine cylinder in halves, the strickle p, Fig. 6, turns through a semicircle about the pin g in a slide a, which is then adjusted by a screw d so that the strickle, as shown in broken lines, can sweep out the second part of the loam-lined mould n. The core s is produced similarly, and inserted as shown in Fig. 8, after replacing the fillings r, Fig. 6, by the blocks u. The slide a may be positioned by a scale and fixed by a pin engaging holes ; and a compound slide, or one with curved guides, may be employed. The strickle may be prevented from rotating by a clamp if it is desired to strickle a part of the mould by simply traversing the slide a. If the strickle p is replaced by a segment w, Fig. 9, a mould may be rammed in segments. In order to return the strickle over a surface without touching, a liner x, Fig. 11, may be employed to retain the slide a in a raised position. The devices may be adapted to be operated through bevel or other gears from the outside.
