Title: Improvements in fluid-control reversing valves for furnaces and other apparatus
IPC: F16K49/00
Filed: 1956-08-17
Abstract: 810,850. Reversing valves for regenerative furnaces. BLAW KNOX CO. Aug. 17, 1956 [Nov. 25, 1955], No. 25215/56. Class 64(1) [Also in Group XXIX] A regenerative furnace is supplied with combustion air by a blower through an inlet 12, Fig. 1, opening into a plenum chamber 14 below a deck 15, Fig. 2, the chamber having a refractory rear wall 27, Fig. 1, extending between the central pillars 28 of machined valve seats 29; air from the chamber 14 flows into either duct 25 or 26 depending upon the position of valves 41, Fig. 2. In the event of failure of the blower a door 17 in the deck 15 can be manually opened to any desired extent to provide a regulated supply of air which is induced by the furnace draught. Two valve seats 29, Fig. 1, are employed, the seats being parallel and converging upwardly; each seat is formed with two ports 30, 31, the former being in front of, and the latter behind the wall 27. The valves are so arranged that when one port 30 is open to supply air to one duct the opposite port 31 is open to receive waste gas from the other duct, the gas entering a chamber 32 before flowing to a stack duct 33 via a normally open damper 34. The seats 29 are gas or liquid cooled. The valves 41, Fig. 5, which, are rectangular and cooled by gas or liquid circulated therethrough, each have a strap 46 that passes through a slot 55 extending the whole length of the seat and formed by an angle member 54 and a plate 50; welded to each strap is a carriage 56 having rollers 58 at its ends which travel along the track constituted by the member 54 and plate 50. Plates are disposed at the ends of the slots 55 to support sprockets over each pair of which passes on adjustable chain 63, Fig. 1, connected to the ends of the carriage 56. The slots 55 are closed by asbestos strips fixed both to the carriage and to the chassis to prevent the actuating apparatus from being overheated due to escape of gas and heat from chambers 14 and 32. Each chain is driven by a reversible electric motor 74, Fig. 2, through a reduction gear 75 and a flexible coupling; the gear 75 may be manually actuated. The drive from the gear 75 to the sprocket is taken through an intermediate shaft which by means of a chain drive actuates a motor limit switch so that as each carriage and valve comes to the end of its travel in one direction the motor 74 is reversed and conditions the members for travel in the other direction with the desired timing and sequence. A hood 85 covers each carriage and chain drive. Each valve, carriage and angle member may be removed as a unit. In a modification, only one horizontally arranged valve is provided, the combustion air flowing through a reversing valve, disposed upstream of the first valve. The valve or valves may be used in apparatus other than furnaces. Specifications 630,572 and 632,692 are referred to.

Abstract: 590,199. Reciprocating pumps. FAWCETT, PRESTON, & CO., Ltd., and RHODES, A. Dec. 19, 1944, No. 25442. Addition to 551,384. [Class 102 (i)] In a pump as described in the parent Specification the swash-plate is loaded by a spring composed of several sections, each section comprising a combination of springs or Belleville washers, or springs and Belleville washers 23a arranged as a number of stages each arranged in a separate housing 23b. The end housing has a rounded head 22a that bears against a hardened plate 20a carried by the swash-plate. As the load is applied to the springs, the weaker stages are relieved of stress. The maximum inclination of the swash-plate is limited by an adjustable stop 43. Lubrication is effected from a bore 33a in the driving shaft that is connected to the inlet of the impeller pump feeding the reciprocating pump. The pump plungers 6 are recessed to house a spring to retain the plungers in contact with the swash-plate. The spherical heads 6a carry shoes 6b and have vent holes 6c td prevent the formation of air locks in the pump cylinders.

Filed: 1937-09-24
Abstract: 494,790. Vacuum engines. COOKLIN, I. Sept. 24, 1937, No. 25877. [Class 122 (iii)] A shaft for operating a windscreen-wiper is driven by three or more pneumatic bellows arranged in a, ring around the shaft which are coupled to a common single-throw crank or eccentric member whereby the oscillating movements of the bellows are converted into a continuous rotary movement of the shaft. The motor is mounted in a casing 1 and, as shown, comprises five bellows having fixed walls 2 and movable walls 3. The walls 2 are secured to a chamber 4, the interior of which communicates with a suction pump through a pipe 13 and on the other end of which is mounted a ported seat for a rotary distributing- valve 12. The bellows are alternately put to suction and air by the valve through passages 9. The valve spindle 15 is used through suitable means to operate a windscreen-wiper. The movable walls of the bellows are connected by rods 18 to an eccentric pin 17 on the valve. Alternatively, pins on the ends of the walls engage an eccentric groove in a disc secured to the spindle 15. A pump used for withdrawing the air from the suction chamber 5 is shown in Fig. 3. The opposite ends of the cylinder communicate with a suction chamber 24 around the cylinder 23 and the atmosphere through suction and discharge valves 28, 28a respectively. Upon excessive speeds a spring- loaded valve 30 is opened.

[Class 103(iv)] A diaphragm face plate for railway vehicle bodies comprises a frame surrounding a central passageway formed in the end wall of the body, a bottom horizontal buffer member, vertical side members secured thereto and an upper member interconnecting the tops of the side members, the side and top members of the frame being formed to a closed box cross-section having an integral edge flange for the attachment of a flexible diaphragm which closes the space between the side and top members of said frame and the adjacent end wall of the body. The face plate comprises a top member 25 and side members 24 and an angle section buffer member 16 which is pivoted at 17 to members 15 mounted on the vehicle underframe for resilient in and out movement. The member 25 also is resiliently mounted by means of a coil spring 18 seated respectively on the car end wall 11 and the member 25. Each member 24, 25 is formed from sheet metal into a closed triangular section member comprising a transverse face 27 and a longitudinal face 26 interconnected by an inclined face 28.

[Class 108 (iii)] A shock-absorber comprises telescopic members, one of which consists of concentric tubes 1, 2, the inner tube 2 constituting a hollow piston - rod, while the other telescopic member 4, 5 forms the working cylinder which is closed by a piston-rod guide-bracket 7 and in which reciprocates an apertured piston 9, the arrangement being such that, when the shock-absorber is compressed, an annular space 25 is formed above the piston between the piston-rod and the cylinder 4 into which space liquid flows through apertures 20, 21 in the piston-rod adapted to be opened and closed by the guidebracket 7, while extension of the shock-absorber causes the liquid to be forced from the annular space 25 and through the apertures 20, 21 to resist the movement. The member 4, 5 may be formed as a single tube. As shown, compression of the shockabsorber is resisted by the flow of liquid through the aperture 10 in the piston 9 being increasingly restricted by a conical rod 11. Additional resistance is provided by a spring 8 arranged between flanges on member 3, 6 by means of which the shock-absorber is mounted in position and which contain oilinlet and oil-release openings 18, 13 communicating respectively with the piston-rod and with a conduit 14 in the conical rod 11, which serves as an oil gauge.
