Patent GB-190200491-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Valve Mechanism for Air Brakes for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: SHORTT EDWARD G
Filed: 1902-01-07
Granted: 1902-06-05
Abstract: 491. Shortt, E. G. Jan. 7. Brakes, compressed-air. A receiver 11, fitted between the triple - valve chamber 14 and the auxiliary reservoir 2, is normally in communication with the auxiliary reservoir by the valvecontrolled channel 84, but, when the pressure in the auxiliary reservoir falls below a certain limit, the valve 86, which is actuated by a diaphragm, is closed and cuts off the receiver, and a reserve supply of air for emergency applications is always available in the auxiliary reservoir. Fig. 1 shows the parts at 'release,' the valves 72, 86 being open and the valve 73 closed. On reducing the pressure in the train-pipe for a "service" application, the piston 15 moves to the right until the button 28 just touches the end of the spring block 23, and air flows through the graduation and slide valves from the auxiliary reservoir and receiver into the port 34 through the passage 75, valve 72, port 68, and pipe 3 leading to the brake cylinder, and graduation may always take place provided the chambers 2, 11 communicate. A port 7, cut in the chamber 14, allows any accumulation of pressure on the left of the piston 15 to exhaust into the train-pipe after a number of service graduations and the closing of the valve 86. For an emergency application, enough air is vented to cause the piston 15 to move rapidly to the right and unseat the valve 19, forcing its extension 62 into the chamber 61 and throttling the end of the passage 25, Fig. 5, leading from the auxiliary reservoir. In the meantime, the slide 29 his moved and the receiver 11 is discharged into the brake cylinder through the ports 6, 34, and the emergency port 39, Fig. 8, registers with the port 41, so that the piston 48 is depressed and its stem unseats the valve 49, allowing the train-pipe air to escape to the atmosphere through the port 100. When the receiver 11 is discharged, the piston 15 and valve 19 move slowly to the left, and air from the auxiliary reservoir flows through the passages 78, 26, and 80 to the pipe 3, and the maximum braking effect is attained. On restoring the pressure in the train-pipe, the piston 15 returns to the extreme left, and the valves 72, 73 are both open. Some of the air in the brake cylinder passes through the port 68, through the valve 72, along the sides of the triangular valve rod 71, and through the valve 73, to the near end of the slidevalve chamber and into the receiver, while the remainder passes through the port 68, valve 72, passage 75, and ports 34, 40, and 35 to the atmosphere. Train-pipe air also passes through the passage 16, non-return valve 17, chamber 17<a>, and passages 24, 25 to the auxiliary reservoir, and, when the pressure in this reservoir exceeds the prescribed limit, the air acting on the diaphragm 83 cpens the valve 86 and re-establishes the communication with the receiver 11 through the passage 84. The chamber 10 has a drain port 53 controlled by the screw plug 55.

Abstract: 15,121. Liebig, F. E., and Ludewig, R. July 8. Shearing.-In a machine for shearing angle, tee, round, square and other bars, a number of cutters mounted on a disc are moved over the faces of other cutters mounted on the casing enclosing the disc. The cutters 8<a>, 8, Figs. 1 and 3, are fixed to the disc 4 and the casing 1, while the cutters 9<a>, 9 and 10<a>, 10 are movable at right-angles to, and at an angle of 45‹ with, the cutters 8<a>, 8, so as to be capable of gripping bars of various sections, which are passed through the aperture 27 between the cutters. The disc is then rotated by means of the lever 24 pivoted on the projection 7 of the disc, the pawl 25, and the teeth 26 on the casing. The cutters 8<a>, 8 are provided with a series of holes 28, through which square, round, and other bars to be sheared are passed, and the disc and casing with blades 31, 30 for cutting flat bars and the webs of tee and angle-irons at any desired angle. When the holes 28, or the cutters 31, 30 are being used, the rotation of the disc is limited by the hook 32. To effect the movement of the cutters 9<a>, 9, 10<a>, 10, pins 13, passing through slots 12, Fig. 5, in the disc and casing, engage at one end in inclined slots 11 in the cutters 9<a>, 10<a>, 9, 10, and at the other end are connected by links 18<1>, 19. The cutters are forced together by springs 18, except when the fork 22, 23 of the lever 21 engages with projections on the links 18<1>, 19, and the springs 18 are compressed by the action of the lever 24 on the tail of the lever 21, as shown in Fig. 1.
