Patent GB-190618688-A (GB)
Title: A Device applicable to Self-closing Taps and Valves, to Prevent the Waste of Water.
Inventor: HUNT WILFRED
Filed: 1906-08-21
Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 18,688. Hunt, W., [Jackson, E. L.]. Aug. 21. Waste-preventing valves; actuating valves.-Relates to a device applicable to self-closing valves for determining roughly the amount of water which passes at each operation, thus preventing waste. The device consists of an adapter 10, Fig. 1, screwed on the valve body, and a casing 13 which is fitted with a loosely-fitting cylinder 14 containing a cup-leather piston 15 operated by a push spindle 19. When the knob 20 is pressed down to open the valve, the air within the cylinder 14, being compressed, forces down the cylinder and the valve knob 12 to which it is attached, thus opening the valve. The air, however, gradually leaks away through the orifice 22 in a period of time which may be regulated by the screw 23 ; the valve is thus allowed to close within a certain time whether the knob 20 is released or not. A spring 21 is arranged underneath the knob 20 to return the parts into the position shown. In a modification, the piston is situated normally at the bottom of the cylinder ; in this case the valve is operated by pulling at the knob 20, to raise the piston and then releasing it, the piston being forced down again by an internal spring to compress the air, under it. In this construction, to prevent the illicit use of the valve by pushing and pulling the knob, which would obtain a continuous discharge, the stem is formed of two telescopic parts 19, 26, Fig. 3, retained together by a pin 27 which works in a slot 28 in the hollow part. The above constructions may be modified by using diaphragms or bellows-like devices instead of pistons, by providing the leakage control in the piston or in a hollow piston-rod, or by having water or other liquid medium in the cylinder instead of air.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Fire Alarms.
Inventor: TATLOCK JOHN
Filed: 1906-10-15
Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 22,733. Tatlock, J., Horne, A. G., and Dennison, J. D. Oct. 15. Switches.-A fire-alarm, actuated by the expansion of a metal strip, consists of a case A of trough formation, the outer frame B of which is of wood while the hollow is a shell C of zinc. A metal strip D is carried on the exterior of the shell, and is connected at one end with a screw E engaging a milled nut F. The other end of the strip is attached to a bell-crank lever G by means of a pin or cotter G'. The lever is pivoted on a knife-edge G<2> engaging a groove H in a fixed bracket I, and is connected by a fine, flat, and highly flexible piece of metal J to one terminal K of an outside electric circuit. The lever carries a carbon contact-stud M adapted to engage a metal contact Q attached to a flat and flexible piece of metal N, which is connected to the other terminal P. of the circuit and is insulated from the case C by a vulcanite block O. On a sudden rise of temperature, the strip D expands and actuates the lever G to close the contacts M Q of the electric circuit. The apparatus can be tested by means of a push R attached to the strip N, or by turning the milled nut F, or by a lever F<1> which takes the place of the milled nut F.

Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 1006. Wood, A. P., aud Lancashire Dynamo and Motor Co. Jan. 15. Brush-holders brushes.-A light rigid carbon brush-holder is formed of several box-like elements built up of interchangeable parts preferably made from metal stampings. Fig. 2 is a side view of a holder, and Fig. 4 a section on the line Y-Y, Fig. 2, showing two elements. The brushes A slide in vertical boxes formed by side plates B and U- shaped ends E, which are slid over the supporting- bolts C and kept from closure by tubes F. The ends E may alternatively be L-shaped, in which case one limb has teeth which are riveted into corresponding holes 3, Fig. 6, in the plates B. The plates B have one end 2 perforated to receive the locking-pin 11, Fig. 17, of the pressure-regulating levers D of the brush springs. These levers have square holes 10 to take the heads of bushes K, Figs. 4 and 11, which turn freely on the tubes F, or, as shown, on the bolts C, and are slit at 8 to receive the inner ends of the volute brush springs H. The outer ends of these springs carry pieces 12 which bear on the brush tops. The other ends of the plates B form sockets 4 to receive the pins 15, Fig. 21, of the brush flexibles, the terminal plates 13 of which may be secured to the brushes A by screws and nuts 17. The stems 18<1>, Fig. 4, of the supporting-bars G of the brush sets of a given machine are made of different lengths to prevent grooving of the commutator, and they terminate in insulated wedge blocks 18. The rocking-frame is shown in Fig. 22<A>, and has split wedge-shaped sockets 19 with tightening-screws 22 for gripping the blocks 18 in such a manner as to allow radial adjustment of each brush-set. Fig. 23 shows the arrangement used for loog commutators. The supporting-bolts C are carried by a forked frame L<1> which is adjustably secured by a stem 24 to the rocking-ring 25, the flexible connexions being taken to the terminal plates 27 as shown.

Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 8714. Everest, H. A. April 15. Bottles, non-refillable.-Relates to non-refillable bottles of the type having a valve and depending weight acting at a leverage. The depending weight in the present invention is adapted to float, so as to rise and permit the valve to open before the bottle is completely inverted. A casing 1 is locked in the bottle neck by a cork ring 3. At the lower end of the casing is an annular valve seat 9, which, with the casing, forms a shoulder 5 adapted to abut against a cork ring 6 seated at the lower end of the neck. The valve 11 is of solid cork, and is provided with a glass cap 12. A flexible member 13 passes through the valve, and is attached to a glass and cork float 14. The casing is provided with staggered liquid outlets 7, 7<a> and a depending pin to limit the movement of the valve All the parts are preferably of glass or cork.

Abstract: 10,348. Crutchley, C., Whaite, W. H., and Timmis, H. S., [executors of Pearce, Sir W. G.], and Reeves, W. R. May 3. Recording at a distance, electrically.-Means are described for recording on a chart the operations of signal semaphores &c., together with the times at which such operations are made. The stamping- devices and the time-recording mechanism are constructed and arranged as in Specifications Nos. 3679 and 29,195, A.D. 1906. The hand-lever A, Fig. 1, arranged to operate a signal semaphore, point, or other mechanism, has mounted on its axle a lever e, which may be replaced by a commutator or cam, adapted to make contact with two projecting springs g, h connected to a conductor f forming the return lead of the magnet c which, when energized, presses the stamping-die B against the paper on the rotary drum b through the inking-ribbon 32, as described in the abovementioned Specifications, the time-recording apparatus being simultaneously actuated. The spring g has an insulating block on the back, so that, when the lever is pulled over, only one contact is made, but, when it is pulled back, two contacts are made, thus giving a distinct record for each operation. Alternatively, two stamping-devices may be used with each lever, one operating for movement in one direction, the other for movement in the other.

A compensating- device connected to the rocker comprises a spring- pressed plunger in a pivoted cylinder. The collapsible vessel is maintained comparatively cool by arranging a dead air space 14 to retard transmission of heat from chamber 1, and also by forming the bell cover 5 of thin metal to facilitate radiation
