Inventor: PILKINGTON WILLIAM WINDLE
Filed: 1903-02-17
Granted: 1903-12-31
Abstract: 3750. Pilkington, W. W. Feb. 17. Forming articles with wire skeletons; ornamenting. -Relates to a machine for making wired glass. Molten glass is rolled to any desired thickness by passing it from a receptacle 0, Fig. 2, through a pair of smooth rollers 1, 2, after which it is passed through two rollers 3, 4, the roller 3 being formed with fins, as shown in Fig. 5, which press wire netting fed from a roller 9 into the glass as it passes through the rollers. The ridges formed by the roller 3 are rolled down by passing the glass through another pair of smooth rollers 5, 6, and then on to a turntable 10, from which it is pushed into an annealing-oven. The glass is guided between the various sets of rollers by plates 7 or by a series of small rollers, and, after leaving the smooth rollers, it may be ornamented by passing under another roller formed with any desired pattern. The machine is driven by a motor 13 through a worm-wheel 14 which gears with one, preferably the centre, of the rollers, all of which, together with one or more of the wheels on which the machine travels, are made to revolve at the same peripheral speed, by suitable gearing. In another form, the rollers 1, 2 are dispensed with, and the molten glass, together with the wire netting, is fed directly between the rollers 3, 4, the fins on the roller 3 being made shorter than in the previous case. In another form, a single large roller is used instead of the several smaller rollers shown in Fig, 2. According to the Provisional Specification, two sheets of glass may be used, the wire being fed between them.

Title: Improvements in Pressure Reducing Valves Combined with Safety Valves.
Inventor: HUEBNER JOSEF
Filed: 1904-07-04
Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 14,991. H³bner, J., and Mayer, I. July 4. Pressure - regulating valves; safetyvalves; lift valves; shocks, preventing casings.-In the vertical construction of that type of pressure - reducing valve combined with a safety-valve in which a normally-closed s t o p valve is controlled by a reciprocating piston, loss of steam during normal working is prevented by admitting high-pressure steam through passages q, q<1>, q<2> to a chamber r under the piston-rod d, and through a passage p and a restricted bore p<3> to the space above the piston c, where it acts upon a valve n' and keeps it closed. The piston has a loose fit in a cylinder constructed in the upper part of the casing a so that the high-pressure steam can pass from above the piston between the latter and the cylinder to the low-pressure steam chamber, into which steam passes when the stop valve f is opened by a pivoted bell-crank lever h, as the piston reciprocates. Should this low-pressure steam, however, exceed a predetermined amount, due to leakage past the valvef, it will lift the valve n<1>, and escape through a safetyvalve h, the casing of which is screwed to the casing a. The admission of high-pressure steam to the chamber r beneath the piston-rod serves not only to balance the valve f but to overcome the dead-weight of the piston c. The lever mechanism for actuating the valve may be dispensed with, and the valve, single or double seated, be carried by the piston-rod d ; the requisite passages for allowing the high-pressure steam to pass above the piston are provided in either the casing or the piston-rod, or in both. In some cases, holes are bored in the bottom of the cylinder in which the piston c works to connect it with the lowpressure chamber so as to provide a buffer for the piston and prevent any vibration of the moving parts. The passage p<3>, instead of being of restricted bore as shown, may be restricted by a throttling-screw, or, automatically, by the expansion of a rod arranged in, and composed of different material to, the piston-rod, or by the pressure of steam on a piston or elastic body. In the latter case, the throttling-device and safety-valve may be so loaded that steam will pass through the device to the low-pressure chamber and never escape through the safety-valve into the atmosphere. In place of the piston c, a diaphragm or equivalent means may be employed.
