Abstract: 697,830. Valves. CISTERN MANUFACTURING CO., Ltd. Sept. 25, 1951, No. 22360/51. Class 135 A combined pressure regulating and relief valve for a hot water storage cylinder comprises a casing 6 having an inlet 7 from the mains controlled by.a valve member 17 connected by a stem 18 to a diaphragm 9, an outlet 8 to the cylinder and a lateral extension 15 housing a spring-loaded relief valve 21. The upper face of the diaphragm 9 communicates with the valve chamber 14 through passages 12 in the stem 18, whilst its lower face sealed from the chamber 14, communicates with atmosphere through openings 34. In operation, water from the main passes through the chamber 14 to the cylinder and to the space 11 above the diaphragm 9 to trap air therein. Heating of the water in the cylinder increases the pressure of the air which increased pressure urges the valve 17 towards closure. On full closure of the valve 17, the compression of the air in the space 11 absorbs some of the excess pressure prior to the opening of the relief valve.

Filed: 1944-11-14
Abstract: 587,910. Hydraulic machines. NICHOLLS, K. H. Nov. 14, 1944, No. 22471. [Class 69 (ii)] A hydraulic valve mechanism disposed in a hydraulic circuit between a master control valve and the driven apparatus comprises a hunter valve 21 continuously urged towards a neutral position by a spring 30, in which position it allows free passage of pressure and exhaust fluid between the master control valve and the driven apparatus. Pivoted stop members 41, 47 are arranged to be moved by movable portions 51, 52 of the driven apparatus. As the apparatus approaches one limit of a predetermined. movement, the stop member 47 engages the abutment member 34 which, due to action of the pressure fluid on it, acts as a strut and moves the valve, thereby cutting off the flow of the fluid., Further movement causes a reversal of fluid and relieves the load on the stop member 47 which allows the valve to make a return movement to cut off flow of fluid, Hence the apparatus hunts to a definite stop and then remains at rest until the master control valve is operated to transpose the pressure and exhaust lines. Motion then takes place in the reverse direction until the stop 41 is engaged to cause the apparatus to hunt to a predetermined stop in its new direction.

Abstract: 357,330. Agglomerating fuel; coking. HARDY, H., 107, Rue du Charbonnage, Anderlues, Belgium. July 30, 1930, No. 22921. Convention date, Feb. 8. Addition to 356,236. [Classes 50 and 55 (i).] The process of the parent Specification for heating coal or mixtures of coal and coke &c., in order to produce globular particles is modified by compressing the globular coal whilst still warm as it issues from the oven. The particles pass to a press 2 from a rotary oven 1 and the agglomerates are separated from waste on a grating 3, passing thence to an evacuating shoot or to an oven 5 if semi-coke or agglomerated coke is required. This oven may be similar to the first or may comprise a series of inclined heating chambers alternating with flat distillation ducts having outlets for the fractions distilled. The oven may be oscillated to cause the agglomerates to descend during coking at about 1000‹ C. For the production of semicoke with 10 per cent of volatiles, a temperature about 500‹ C. is employed and with 5 per cent, about 600‹ C., the oven being relatively steeply inclined. In the case of coal with high agglutinant power a preheating at 300‹ C. is desirable before the globules are coked.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fuzes for bombs and other missiles adapted to be dropped from aircraft
IPC: F42C5/00
Filed: 1923-09-12
Abstract: 228,962. Vickers, Ltd., Lucas, O. D., and Johnson, F. G. L. Sept. 12, 1923. Projectile fuzes.-Relates to fuzes for bombs, depth-charges, and like missiles adapted to be dropped from the air, particularly in operations at sea, in which instantaneous and delay-action firing devices are provided adapted to function according to the nature of the object struck. According to the invention the instantaneous firing device is automatically and positively locked against operation upon the functioning of the delay-action device, to prevent premature explosion at the surface of water. Fig. 1 shows a nose fuze which after being armed by bringing the firing pins E, F into alignment with their respective pellets j, f, and the delay-action has been adjusted, has the striker pin E of the delay-action firing mechanism driven in when water is struck, by fluid pressure acting on the collapsable diaphragm G, H, the cover C being removed during flight. At the same time, the pins K are driven outwards against spring pressure to lock the timing-ring B against movement relatively to the body A of the fuze and to prevent the instantaneous firing pin F from operating on its pellet f. The fuze is armed and the delay adjusted by rotating, by means on the aircraft, a toothed ring c on a two-part cover C on the nose of the fuze. This rotary movement is imparted through a cam surface b<2> on the ring B and pin j<3> to a carrier J bearing the pellet j and firing pin F, to bring them into alignment with the firing pin E and pellet f respectively. Part of the rotation controls the arming and the Latter part governs the delay. Before release, the pin L is extracted, when the passage of the bomb &c. through the air is free to cause the vanes D to rotate the spindle d and unscrew it until, when just on the point of release the cone d<1> wedges apart the two parts of the cover C, which separate and fall leaving the diaphragm G and nose b exposed.

Abstract: 889,284. Gas turbine plant. ROLLS-ROYCE Ltd. June 28, 1960 [July 3, 1959], No. 23034/59. Addition to 877,811. Class 110 (3). [Also in Group XXIX] Fuel for delivery to main and pilot burner manifolds 71, 70 of a gas turbine engine enters a housing 10 through an inlet 68 and is delivered by an engine-driven centrifugal impeller 14 through a passage 16 to a chamber 15 and thence through an orifice 55 controlled by a valve member 43 to ports 58, 59 leading through a shut-off and dump valve 62 to the burner manifolds. The ports 58, 59, or the port 59 only, are controlled by a tubular valve member 44 slidably mounted on the valve member 43 and subject at its opposite ends to the pressures downstream of the orifice 55 and in a chamber 29 so that any inequality between these pressures is corrected by an adjustment of the throttling of the ports 58, 59. The chamber 29 is fed and exhausted through orifices 33, 34 which are simultaneously but oppositely adjusted by a valve member 17 movable against an adjustable loading spring 27 by the impeller pressure in the chamber 15. The pressure in the chamber 29 is thus related to engine speed. A stirrup piece 19 coacts with adjustable acceleration and deceleration stops 21, 22. The orifice 55 is adjusted by a capsule assembly 47 subject externally to a pressure derived from the compressor delivery pressure of the engine, the latter pressure being fed through an orifice 52 and discharging to atmosphere through an orifice 52a. One element 48 of the capsule assembly is evacuated and the other element 49 subject internally to the compressor inlet pressure. To reduce static friction the valve members 17, 43, 44 are rotated by gearing 31, 32, 40, 41, 42, 45. A starting and flight idling stop (not shown) coacts with the gear 45, and a further stop (not shown) may limit movement of the capsule 47 to limit maximum thrust. When the valve 62 is moved to the shut-off position it causes fuel in the passages 60, 61 to be recirculated to the impeller inlet through a passage 67 and the manifolds 70, 71 to be connected to a dump line 74.
