Abstract: 16,091. Rosenthal, J. H. Aug. 10. Feedwater, controlling.-In an apparatus, shown in sectional plan in Fig. 1, for controlling the admission of feedwater to steam boilers or like vessels, so as to maintain an approximately uniform water level the height of which may be varied, the passage of water from the inlet to the outlet A<3>, communicating with the feed check valve, is controlled by a tubular valve D operated by a float F in the boiler or other vessel. The casing has a liner C having inclined ports c to register with similar ports d in the valve D, which is adjusted endwise in the liner by a screwed spindle G engaging a nut in a bridge I, passing through a stuffing-box H, carrying a disc turning in ballbearings K between a cross-web D<2> and a cap D<1>, and operated by a hand-wheel J. Orifices D<3>, G' may be formed in the web D' and the spindle G so as to balance the valve. A rod M, attached to a bridle N encircling the float lever, passes through a stuffing-box and serves to jerk the lever to expel grit and test its working. In a modification, the weight of the float is balanced by a counterweighted lever.

The shaft 8 is held stationary by a fast finger 16 which bears against one or other face of a notched wheel 18 on a shaft 17 under the control of an electromagnet 20 in the circuit of a bell 22. When the bell circuit is completed, either by the car conductor or automatically, the pivoted armature 20<a> of the electromagnet acts by a spring pawl 21 to turn the ratchet-wheel 19 and shaft 17 ; the finger 16 then slips through a notch in the wheel 18 and the shaft 8 rotates through one revolution to advance the band 7 &c. The motor 25 is reversed at the end of a journey by the conductor or, if desired, by a switch operated by the increased bulk of the band on one of the reels 5. Projections from the trolley wire or conductor rail may be provided to complete the circuit of the bell 22 at predetermined points on the route, the indicator hand being then moved automatically as required. The current for the motor 25 may be taken from the power or lighting circuit of the car. When the apparatus is used for displaying advertisements, clock mechanism may be employed to release the wheels 9 at intervals.
