Title: Improvements in Fluid Pressure Actuated Impact Tools.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1907-08-03
Granted: 1908-05-14
Abstract: 17,762. Justice, P. M., [Sullivan Machinery Co.]. Aug. 3. Percussive hand-tools.-The handle is fixed to the casing of a fluid-actuated impact tool by a screw collar 6 abutting a flange 5 on the casing, which is only threaded in part. The handle and casing have lateral extensions to contain the distributing-valve, the valve block 46 being seated on a base 67 and having a series of passages engaging the passage 24 or its extension 48 in the handle. The passages may be formed in the casing, or the casing may surround a cylinder. The valve 49 slides on a plug 66 and is differential, the smaller area being constantly acted on by pressure. In the position shown in Fig. 1, fluid passes along passages 47, a groove 51 in the valve, and a port 58, to the rear of the piston, which is driven forwards. The recessed portion 20 of the piston is in communication with the rear of the cylinder through ports 22, 21 in the piston ; when the port 16 is reached, fluid enters the passages 12, 64 and, acting on the larger area of the valve 49, drives it upwards. Fluid thereby passes round the grooves 51, 62, a semi-annular groove 61 in the cylinder, and a passage 10 to the front of the cylinder, exhaust from the rear end passing through the port 58, a groove 52 in the valve, and a port 56. When the piston in its rearward stroke uncovers the ports 15, 13, fluid is first exhausted from the front of the cylinder and then from the front of the valve, which is moved [downwards by the constant pressure on its smaller area.

Parallel to an overhead line for high-tension alternating currents, carried by insulators b on metal supports c which are themselves carried on insulators d, there is run an insulated wire f connected to any desired number of the insulated intermediate supports c, and faults in the insulators b, d are detected by measuring the voltage between this wire f and earth or the high-tension line. These voltages should be approximately equal if the insulators b, d are in order. The primary of the transformer o is connected between the intermediate wire f and earth, and the primary of another transformer n may be connected between the intermediate wire f and the live wire. The secondaries of the transformers o, n may be connected to voltmeters, or to lamps s, in which case additional contacts p may be provided for connexion to a portable volt-meter, by which the various sections may be separately tested.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Meters for Measuring the Flow of Fluids.
IPC: G01F1/37
Filed: 1909-04-30
Granted: 1910-08-02
Abstract: 10,314. Warwick Machinery Co. April 30. Liquid-stream indicators.-In current meters of the Pitot class for fluids, more particularly air and steam, the differential pressure gauge is improved, and means are provided for obtaining a reading in which account is taken of the temperature and average pressure of the fluid, together with the diameter of the pipe to which the meter is applied. The two pipes 55, 57, Fig. 6, which communicate with the pressure gauge, and are fitted with stop and drip-valves 60, 58, are connected to passages in a block 51, which is inserted in the fluid main 49 and is provided with a series of holes 53, Fig. 8, opening against the direction of the flow, and with another series 52 opening in the opposite direction. The differential pressure gauge, Fig. 2, is a liquid gauge of the U-tube type, in which one limb is formed by the wide chamber 22 and the other by the tube 21 dipping therein. A metal-cased cork floats upon the surface of the liquid in the tube, and is connected by a cord to a pulley 33 upon a spindle carrying a similar pulley 35 for the cord of a counterbalance weight and a magnet 38, whereby movement is conveyed to a magnetic needle 39 or its equivalent within the casing containing the dial 47, provision being made for slight rotation of the casing in order to adjust the zero. The casing is attached to the frame of the gauge by a screwed plug 42 of non - magnetic material. Attached to the front of the dial casing are two rotatable divided heads 76, 77 bearing scales of pipe diameter, temperature, and pressure, together with a clamping - head 75 whereby a radially adjustable pointer 83 may be set to a position dependent upon the values of these three quantities, and the whole rotated until the adjusted pointer, the extremity of which is formed of a point and a V in different planes to avoid parallax, intersects the needle. The point thus determined is referred to the numbered curves of constant current 48, which are each plotted by considering the relations between the difference of pressure in the Pitot tubes and the three quantities above-mentioned for a constant flow of a given magnitude. A valve 61 is provided, either within or without the pressure gauge, for equalizing the flow in the two limbs of the gauge, and there may be a pressure gauge 84 communicating with the main. Specifications 3499/01, 21,300/06, [Class 106, Registering &c.], and 20,360/08 are referred to.
