Title: Improvements in and relating to Valves.
Inventor: AITON JOHN ARTHUR
IPC: F16K47/00
Filed: 1909-10-04
Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 22,618. Aiton, J. A. Oct. 4. Dash-pots.-Consists in a dash-pot, for use with valves, which is arranged to come into action only after the valve is partly open, but operates immediately the valve commences to close. In one form, shown in Fig. 1, air is allowed to pass from the upper to the lower side of the piston a through a by-pass e of relatively large cross-section controlled by a non- return valve h, until the piston closes the by-pass, when the air-supply is limited to that obtained through ports d of relatively small cross-section. In a modification, the piston has ports closed during the down-stroke by a flexible disk carried by a spindle sliding in the casing. In another modification, springs or weights are used which come into action during the latter portion of the up-stroke.

Title: Improvements in Umbrella Stands.
Inventor: WARNE FREDERICK GEORGE
IPC: A47G25/12
Filed: 1909-11-06
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 25,620. Warne, F. G. Nov. 6. Hat, coat, and umbrella stands.-Over each slot or hole e, Fig. 6, of the umbrella stand, a hinged baffle-plate b<1> is fitted, which can be pulled down to prevent the umbrella from being lifted out. The hinged baffle is combined with a safety lock in which the key can only be taken away when the baffle is pulled down, and, when down, the baffle is locked until released by the key. The inner end of the baffle g is weighted, and normally holds the baffle in a vertical position. When pulled down, the end g engages, and is held by, the three-arm tappet catch m, Fig. 8. The tappet m rocks between the stops n, n<1>. The end g also rocks the tumbler lever h, thereby releasing the tooth i from behind one of the wards of the key, and enabling the key to be withdrawn. To release the umbrellas, the key is inserted, and operates the lever l, which moves the tappet m to release the end g; and the tumbler lever h, under the action of the spring k<1>, again engages behind the ward of the key. The lever l may be varied for variations of keys j, j<1>, j<2> on the same umbrella stand, as illustrated in Fig. 9.

Patent GB-190927647-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Controlling Gear for Winding and Hauling Engines.
Inventor: MELLING JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: B66B5/08
Filed: 1909-11-27
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 27,647. Melling, J. W. Nov. 27. Overwinding, p r eventing. - Relates to automatic stop-gear for winding-engines, of the kind in which a travelling nut is adapted to engage a curved toothed bar if the speed is not suitably reduced towards the end of the wind. The screw a driven from the engine shaft carries a non- rotating nut c with upstanding projections c<3>, c<4> in proximity to a curved toothed bar e, which is raised and lowered by a governor. Pivoted at each end of the bar e is a bell-crank lever g having an arm resting on a ledge on a parallel bar f similar in shape to the bar e but without teeth. When the mechanism comes into action, the bar c is moved endways by the nut until an arm g<2> strikes a stop, thereby lifting the bar e out of engagement. The end movement of the bar e effects through a lever k, intercepting piece o, and link n, the cut-off of the steam and the application of the brakes. To enable the engineman to give steam for re-starting, the intercepting-piece is raised by the action of throwing-over the reversing-lever, a lever t<1> connected to the reversing-lever engaging a swell on an arm p' linked to the piece o. To prevent actual overwinding, the nut c is fitted with adjustable bars c<5> one or other of which engages the pawl q if the cage passes the bank. The pawl q supports a weighted or spring-controlled bar connected by a bell-crank and link s<1> to the throttle and brake mechanism. The levers g, k, q are linked to corresponding levers at the opposite end of the apparatus. Instead of the plain bar f and bell-cranks g, the link-work shown in Fig. 6 may be used for disconnecting the travelling nut from the brake and throttle after a certain traverse has been effected. The intercepting piece o is pivotally mounted at o<1> and is connected by a link v to a bell-crank lever having a pin-and-slot connexion with the lever k, so that the piece o is raised automatically after a certain movement of the bar e. The reversing-lever is also linked to the intercepting- piece as before.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Engines.
Inventor: STEVENS CLEMENT HENRY
IPC: F01C1/356
Filed: 1910-01-03
Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 141. Stevens, C. H. Jan. 3. Movable - abutment type; fixed - abutment type; valve-gear.-Outwardly - sliding abutments or vanes, acting also as cut-off valves, are disposed in an inner or outer member, and co-operate with vanes or abutments arranged in grooves formed in the corresponding outer or inner member, one member being fixed, and the other rotary. Figs. 1 and 2 show abutments 22 sliding in an outer fixed member 1; a drum 15, provided with peripheral grooves 16 obstructed at intervals by vanes 17, comprises the inner rotating member, which is secured by lugs 20 engaging projections 19 on a disk 18 keyed to the shaft 10. Motive fluid from the port 26 is conducted by a passage 36 to the upper surface of a piston 23 formed on the abutment 22, which is thereby pressed into the groove 16, its inclined faces 37 making a tight joint with the groove. A recess 28 in the abutment controls the admission of motive fluid to the groove 16. On the approach of a vane 17, the abutment is lifted by fluidpressure acting on the under surface of the piston 23, such fluid being supplied through a passage 33 uncovered by the trailing surface 32 of the vane 17. As the abutment is lifted, ports 35 leading to the atmosphere are uncovered, and the fluid-pressure below the piston 23 is relieved. Ports 30 provide communication between the groove 16 and the exhaust conduit 27. The inlet and exhaust ports and passages may be made interchangeable, or duplicated on each side of the abutments for reversing. The drum 15 may carry a number of parallel grooves 16, the vanes 17 being staggered in successive grooves. Either the inner or the outer member may be made the rotating member, and the grooves may be formed in the outer member, the inner member carrying the sliding valves.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Force Feed Lubricators.
Inventor: ELLIS REGINALD EATON
IPC: F16N13/12
Filed: 1910-04-28
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 10,445. Ellis, R. E., [Stirling, J. H.]. April 28. Multiple-delivery pumps; actuating by pulsating fluid pressure.-In a lubricating-pump of the type in which the plungers are operated by an auxiliary piston subject to pressure pulsations in the end of the main cylinder of an engine to be lubricated, the return stroke of the auxiliary piston is effected by the pulsating fluid itself instead of by a spring as hitherto. The auxiliary cylinder a, operating the pump plungers e through ratchet mechanism m, g, is connected to the main steam cylinder through a pipe z, and is provided with a passage v, w for admitting steam to the inner side of the piston b as soon as the piston has travelled a certain portion of its stroke. The steam so admitted effects the return stroke of the piston as soon as the steam in the main cylinder exhausts. To enable the apparatus to work after the steam supply to the main cylinder has been cut off, an automatic air-inlet valve x is provided which admits sufficient air to cause the piston b to follow the movements of the piston in the main cylinder. In a modification, the auxiliary cylinder is placed at a distance from the pump, the motion of the piston being transmitted to the pump plungers through a column of oil. This arrangement may be used with the diaphragm type of lubricator described in Specification 15,644/09. Means for regulating the stroke of the piston b may be provided.
