Title: Improvements in Automatic Valves for Controlling the Passage of Fluids.
Inventor: PEAT JAMES BARCLAY
Filed: 1907-08-21
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 18,859. Peat, J. B. Aug. 21. Check valves.-Relates to angular check valves for high-speed blowing-engines and compressors, and for other purposes. The check valve 2, Fig. 1, works loosely between the seating and a fixed guard 3, and is guided solely by a spring 4. The spring bears within a central corrugation of the valve, which is also curved at the edges 13 so as to prevent sticking by reason of dirt or oil on the valve seats. The spring is received in a flared groove 12 in the valve guard, but the groove may be approximately parallel so as to give greater support to the spring. When the valve is not designed to work vertically, the guard is placed eccentrically to the valve seating so that the spring can support the weight of the valve and place it centrally on the seating. Two or more valves may be arranged concentrically, as shown in Fig. 6.

Abstract: 8158. Nelson, W. H. April 5. Ornamenting; gilding and silvering.-In a known process for producing gold lines on bicycle frames and other articles, a strip of gold leaf is affixed by a water varnish such as isinglass solution, a thin line of dark varnish is applied, and the surplus leaf is removed with a wet wad; the line of dark varnish is then removed with a wad moistened with turpentine; and finally the line of gold is protected by clear varnish, which is either restricted to the gold line or else extends all over the article. The present invention consists in substituting clear varnish for the line of dark varnish. A saving of labour thus results, as this clear varnish does not have to be removed. Silver, aluminium, and other leaf can be applied in the same way.
