Title: Improvements in Respiration Apparatus for use in Coal Mines and other Places.
Inventor: GARFORTH WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1907-05-15
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 11,367. Garforth, W. E. May 15. Check valves ; pressureregulating valves; casings. - In respiration apparatus for use in coal mines &c , the supply of oxygen is .governed by a valve of which the amount of opening is regulated by the degree of exhaustion in the face piece. Fig. 4 shows an horizontal section through the face piece, and Fig. 8 a section of. the valve for regulating the admission of oxygen. The face piece 1, Fig. 4, is provided with inlet and outlet valves 45, 44 by which communication is made with chambers 43, 42 connected to the nitrogen bag and regenerating apparatus. The valves each consist of a light circular diaphragm contained in a circular casing 46 with freedom of movement between a circular knife-edge seating 49 and distance-pins 50. The oxygen pipe communicates directly with the chamber 41. The other end of the oxygen pipe is connected to the lower part 31, Fig. 8, of the casing of the regulating- valve, and is provided with an emergency by-pass connected to the oxygen inlet 16. The valve 19 slides in a, cylindrical guide 18 provided with two vertical slots in which slides a transverse pin 20.

Title: Apparatus for Bottling Liquids and the like.
Inventor: VOGEL OTTO
Filed: 1907-07-27
Granted: 1908-02-13
Abstract: 17,260. Vogel, O. July 27. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Bottling. - Relates to a counter-pressure, revolving-table bottling-machine, of the type in which the counter-pressure space and liquid reservoir are entirely separated, and in which a compensating-device is provided for regulating the pressure in both spaces in the event of an over-pressure occurring in one of them. The counter-pressure space is formed by an annular chamber 26 surrounding the liquid reservoir 25, and the regulating-device consists of a diaphragm 59 arranged in a separate receptacle 58 and adapted to operate the snift valve 71. In the lower conical ends of the chamber 26 and reservoir 25 are ports 35, 36, 37, 38 adapted to register in predetermined sequence with passages in the filling-head when the apparatus is rotated. The port 38 communicates with a small chamber separated from the lower end of the counter-pressure chamber by vertical partitions 39, 40, Fig. 4. The receptacle 58 is divided by the diaphragm 59 into compartments 60, 61. The chamber 61 communicates by a tube 61<a> and lateral ports with the liquid reservoir, and the chamber 60 by pipes 70, 69, 66 and a threeway cock 64, with the chamber 26. The snift valve 71 is mounted in the pipe 70 and is adapted to be automatically shut off by its stem 72 being connected to the diaphragm 59. In operation, the bottles are first exhausted through the port 37 and a pipe 37<1>, through which syrup may be subsequently introduced if necessary. Then connexion between the bottle and the pressure chamber 26 is established by the port 38, the small chamber above described preventing any overflow liquid from a previous filling which might occupy the chamber 26 from entering the bottle. After the bottle is charged with gas, further rotation of the machine brings the port 36 into operation, and allows any liquid in the chamber 26 to flow into the bottle. Finally, bottling of the liquid contained in the reservoir 25 commences through the port 35. In case of excess of pressure in the reservoir 25, the snift valve closes, and bottling ceases until equilibrium is re-established. The carbonicacid gas is drawn off from the lower end of the pressure chamber, and in this way the gas is obtained in an almost pure state.
