Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 27,836. Foxlee, J. E. Nov. 30. Movable-abutment type; packing drums etc.; balancing moving parts; valve-gear.-Relates to a rotary engine having a hinged abutment provided with two wings operated by special camgear. Two oppositely-arranged packed pistons D, D' are secured to a shaft B<2>, and work in cylinders A, a. The piston drums may have the cross-section shown in Fig. 4, C, or that shown in Fig. 6, C<1>. In the latter modification spring- pressed strips d<3> are arranged in the drum to bear upon a ring C<2>, which is pressed against the side of the drum by screws A<4> ; and channels d<4> are perforated through the drum to counterbalance the pressure. The hinged abutments E, on the bosses of which bear spring-pressed pieces 3, are operated by link-work and cams J, J<1> on the shaft B<2>. The rollers which bear on these cams are kept up against them either by steam pressure or spring pressure, a reversing lever bringing another set of rollers and the other arm of the abutment into play. A camoperated valve M<2> controls the main steam-pipe O, Fig. 4, which admits steam through a valve P, pipe P<3>, a cam-operated valve G, and passages H<3> for forward working, or through a valve P', pipe P<2>, and valve G<1> for reverse working. Steam passages may be formed in the abutment leading to the cylinder B, Fig. 1, or the steam may be led direct to the cylinder as shown by the dotted lines H<4>. An additional cut-off valve may operate between the valves P, G. Exhaust takes place through a pipe F<2>.

Patent GB-191203441-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Systems for Heating Water and in Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: CAPS JOHN EDWARD
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 1912-02-10
Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 3441. Caps, J. E., and Cartwright, C. A. Feb. 10. Heating water; water supply and delivery. - In an installation for supplying hot water at an adjustable temperature maintained automatically, water from a hot-water tank is circulated through a device for heating by exhaust steam, and when it reaches the required temperature is diverted to a cold-water tank from which the hotwater tank is supplied. Means are also provided for regulating the supply of water and an extra supply of live steam for heating. Water from a tank 3 is circulated by a pump 7 through pipes 10, 11, 12, 13, 8 and a device 5 heated by exhaust steam. When the temperature of the water has been raised sufficiently, the expansion of the pipe 11 actuates a lever 30 and thus operates a valve 35 in the pipe 8. The valve 35 is actuated by a weighted lever 37, the end of which engages with a slotted link 38. The length of the slot can be adjusted by screws 47, 48, and the temperature at which the valve is operated thus regulated. The lever 37 may be rigidly attached to the valve 35, or may be actuated by means of a projection engaging with a recess in the valve spindle so that the valve is suddenly opened and closed. When the valve 35 is closed, part of the water still passes through an opening in it to the heater 5 and tank 3, but the greater part passes by a pipe 34 to a cold-water tank 1. When the water-level in the tank 3 falls, a float 17 therein closes a valve 16 in the pipe 12 and opens a valve 23 in a pipe 20 by which water can pass from the tank 1 to the pump 7. On its way, the water passes through a pipe 19, which carries the fulcrum of the lever 30 and is secured to the pipe 11 at 29. If the heating-device 5 is not sufficient to maintain the required temperature, the lever 30 opens a valve 31 admitting live steam to the tank 3 through a pipe 32. The connexion of the lever 30 with the stem 49 of the valve 31 is shown in Fig. 4. The stem 49 passes through a block 51 secured to the lever by a hollow-screwed stem 50 and lock-nut 52, and springs 53, 55 press against the block 51 and caps 54, 56 in the stem 49. A projection 57 bearing a scale of temperatures is attached to the lever 30 close to the block 51, and by adjusting the block 51, the valve 31 is caused to open at the required temperature.

Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 4208. Draycott, T. J., and Draycott, W. Feb. 20. Cork - drawer, machine.-A machine for drawing corks from bottles comprises an electromotor a, constructed in the ordinary manner and operated by a switch or push-button, and gearing e, f adapted to convey motion through a connecting-rod j to a slide k which operates a screw p connected to, or formed with, a corkscrew portion q. Instead of a switch or pushbutton, the circuit may be closed by the insertion of the bottle pressing two metal washers into contact. The screw p works through a nut w having a limited sliding movement, but held against rotation by pins engaging slots in the casing. When the nut reaches the bottom of the slots, the screw p is caused to revolve so as to screw the corkscrew into the cork. On the upward stroke of the slide k, the cork is withdrawn and is stripped from the corkscrew by coming in contact with the stationary part of the apparatus.

Granted: 1913-06-05
Abstract: 15,738. Wyatt, E. July 5. Fastenings operated mechanically from a distance.-Relates to mechanism for locking railway - carriage doors either by means of levers operated from the vacuum brakes or independently by foot-levers. A rod a, Fig. 1, arranged along either side of the carriage, is connected to a lever which is worked from the brakes. The longitudinal rod a raises rods c, which operate various kinds of gravity latches d through the medium of various devices b. Independent working of the longitudinal rods a by footpedals is obtained by means of the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, in which the longitudinal rod a is connected to a square rod e, working through guides f, which is connected to a lever h, by a link u. The lever i may be locked to the lever h by a weighted pawl o on the latter, which falls into a slot p of the former and is controlled by a weighted rod q operated by the foot-pedal q'. When the levers h, i are locked together, the longitudinal rod is operated directly from the brake by the rod u, but if it be desired to open the doors without operating the brakes, the pedal q<1> is depressed, whereby the two levers h, i are disconnected from one another, further pressure on the pedal h moving the longitudinal rods into the unlocking position. The lever h abuts against an adjustable stop s; and the rod n is adjustably connected to the lever i by means of a screw l and milled clamping-faces. The devices b for raising the rods c, of which various forms are described, have slots, guides, or grooves, arranged at any suitable angle, in which work pins or projections on the rods c. Latches, sliding and swinging; turn-bolt fastenings.-The door-latch comprises a sliding bolt 1, Fig. 4, normally pressed into the locking position by a weighted lever 2 but withdrawn by the rising of the rod c when a splayed head 5 engages a pin 6 or inclined face on the bolt. In a modification, the latch is attached to a pivoted rod and is withdrawn in the same way. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the latch is curved and is locked by the rising of the rod c. A slot 10 is formed in the latch to allow slamming of the donr.
