Title: Improvements relating to Vacuum Brake Apparatus for Railway and like Vehicles.
Inventor: GRESHAM HARRY EDWARD
Filed: 1907-10-19
Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 23,135. Gresham, H. E., and Kiernan, G. Oct. 19. Brakes.-In a vacuum-brake apparatus for railway &c. vehicles, a non-return valve prevents flow of air to the upper side of the brake cylinder when the brakes are inoperative, and when the brakes are operative the brake piston cuts out the passage leading from the non-return valve to the upper part of the cylinder so that the vacuum therein is preserved independently of the non-return valve, a valve being provided to admit air to the upper part of the brake cylinder tu release the brakes on disconnected vehicles. A valve casing b, bolted to the bottom of the cylinder a, contains a ball valve e, surrounded by a wire-gauze cage j, by which the upper part of the cylinder is exhausted through the passages g, s. The passage s is open to the upper part of the cylinder, when the brake piston is in its inoperative position, through apertures r in the wall of the cylinder. The train-pipe c communicates through the passage n with the lower side of the piston k. When the train-pipe pressure is increased, the piston k rises past the apertures r and cuts off communication between the passage s and the upper part of the cylinder and preserves the vacuum therein. The brakes may be released on disconnected vehicles by a rod u, Fig. 3, which lifts a diaphragm valve d off its seat and connects the train-pipe c with a passage f leading to the top of the cylinder. Several modified forms of release valve are described, in one of which the lever u, Fig. 7, operates a spring-pressed valve d which controls an opening leading from the passage f to atmosphere.

Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 25,354. Uner, C. O. Nov. 25. Loom pickers.- A picker is formed from an endless link of paper treated with sulphuric acid or equivalent chemical, as in the production of vulcanized fibre. The link is made by winding a sheet of the paper upon itself, or by nesting together s e v e r a l rings or parts of rings, in such a manner that impact w i t h the shuttle takes place upon the faces of the layers. The picker is moulded into shape while the material is still wet, and, if desired, cross-bolts C may be employed to secure the sides together. To give elasticity at the point of impact, parts of the layers may be removed, for example between the lines F, F<1>, leaving a space which may be filled with elastic material or may contain a spring. Another method is to make the innermost layer a of such smaller diameter than the next layer that it only extends down to the line F. The hole to receive the spindle may be lined with a removable bush of vulcanized fibre or other material. The link may be formed as a long cylinder adapted to be cut into sections to form a single picker.

Title: Filters.
Inventor: BURT EDWIN
IPC: B01D33/00
Filed: 1909-02-18
Granted: 1910-02-18
Abstract: 4045. Burt, E. Feb. 18. Rotary filters.- A cylinder 1 is lined with boards 33, or with flanged and perforated iron plates, which extend longitudinally a n d are covered w i t h pieces of w o v e n material, such as coco - nut matting, and of canvas held in position by manila rope which is driven into the spaces 34 between the boards. The canvas is protected by a wire screen 43 continuous over the filter surface. The boards 33 are perforated, and have diagonally-directed channels on the side next the cylinder which conduct the filtered liquid to the spaces 34 and controllable discharge openings 45. The boards are secured in position by bolts which pass through the wall of the cylinder and are provided with elongated heads engaging the plates transversely, the under surface of the heads conforming to the curvature of the cylinder. The filter is rotated on a trunnion 4 and rollers 7 by means of a motor 31, a pinion 30, and gear 32. The inlet pipe 47 has valved branches through which ore slime, wash-solution, wash-water, and air under pressure are respectively supplied, the air being admitted when the filter has been about half-filled with liquid. The solid material from which the liquid has been removed forms as a cake in separate layers on the filtering- surface, and is afterwards detached by a longitudinal bar 59 fixed to rods 58 projecting through the cylinder. The bar 59 is normally held in contact with the filtering-surface by springs 63, but at the close of the filtering-operation a rod 66 is moved longitudinally by means of a lever 69 so as to bring cams 65 on the rod into engagement with the outer ends of the rods 58 during the revolution of the filter, and thus force the bar 59 inward. The head 3 of the filter slides on rods 9, and is opened and closed by means of a "double- " acting hydraulic jack, the cylinder of which is fixed to a cross-head 11 revolving with the filter. The head 3 may be clamped to the flange 10 against the operating-pressure in the filter, but preferably it is held by toggle-levers 22, 23, the ends of the levers 23 being engaged by a collar adjustably fixed on the plunger-rod of the jack. A spring 28 allows of loose motion between the plunger-rod and the head 3 when the rod is near the end of its inward travel. A screw-jack may be used in place of the hydraulic jack. When sufficient water is available, the solid matter is re-converted into pulp by rotating the filter, so that the material will run out when the head 3 is withdrawn. When water is not available, the solid matter is discharged on rotation of the cylinder after the frame that supports it has been tilted about the axis 73 by an hydraulic jack 78.
