Granted: 1905-08-24
Abstract: 6048. Bargamin, C. March 22. Actuating valves and cocks; plug cocks.-In cutoff attachments for gas stoves, in which the supply is turned on or off as a utensil is placed on or taken off the burner, provision is made for entirely cutting off the gas supply by hand independently of the controlling-device, and also for rendering the controlling-device inoperative when the supply is cut off. Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the controlling-device, and Figs. 3 and 4 show sections at right-angles through the valve employed. When a utensil is placed on a foot 30, which is adjustable in position by a set-screw 31; a bar 29 is depressed, and a tappet 26 on a rocker bar 27 lifts a valve 15, Fig. 3, by means of a cam 25<1> on an adjustable collar 24 fitted to the valve stem. The gas is thus allowed to pass from the inlet 6, through a port 16 in the main cut-off valve 8, and out by a recessed port 17 to the supply pipe 7. When the utensil is removed, a spring 23 on the valve spindle closes the valve 15 against its seat, and the gas then passes through a port 35, Fig. 4, in the main valve 8,-to a pilot burner, by means of a pipe 33, Fig. 2. The gas is completely cut off by turning a handle 9 until the ports 17, 35 are brought out of register with the outlets 7, 32; at the same time the collar 24 is turned so that the cam 25<1> no longer engages with the tappet 26, and the foot 30 falls below the stove top, so that accidental pressure on the foot 30 will not turn the gas on. A gas-tight diaphragm is provided on the spindle of the valve 15, and is held by the inner end of a cap against an annular shoulder on the valve 8.

Title: Improvements in Pumps.
Inventor: CONROY GEORGE
Filed: 1905-12-01
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 24,941. Conroy, G. Dec. 1. Inclined-shaft type.-Relates to rotary pumps, particularly for use with refrigerating-machines, but also applicable as air-compressors for train work, or as blowers, or for pumping fluids generally. A rotary disk b, provided with a plurality of cylindrical openings, in which reciprocate the pistons k, is connected to a driving-shaft d. Links m are pivoted to the pistons k and are connected by ball-and-socket joints to a rotary frame n mounted on an inclined shaft o. As the disk b and frame n rotate, the pistons are caused to reciprocate in their respective cylinders by reason of the inclination of the shaft o. Suction and discharge ports, approximately quadrantal in form, are so arranged in the wall of the casing against which the cylinder disk bears that during the movement to the left the cylinders are connected to the discharge port. The stroke of the piston is short as the pump is intended to be driven at high speed. The bed casting has a long bearing j for the shaft d, the escape of fluid past th's bearing being prevented by a stuffing-box s. Bearing- surfaces are formed on both sides of the hub l of the frame n to work against the boss h<1> of the cover-plate h and the shaft o. Ball bearings w, v may be provided to take the end thrust. The part n may be rotated by the links m, but preferably the disk b is made with a projecting arm or arms bearing against the frame n. The cylinder disk is held up to its seat by nuts q on the shaft d bearing on a bracket r or the stuffing-box s. The lubrication of the part n may be effected through holes o' in the spindle o, or, if desired, the enclosed pump chamber may be filled with a suitable lubricant. The seating-face of the cylinder disk may, if necessary, be lubricated by lubricant introduced under pressure. In a modification, two cylinder disks are provided with an inclined rotary frame between them. Pistons in each of the disks are pivoted to the inclined frame in a manner similar to that described above. When the pump is used with a refrigerating-machine or with fluids under great pressure, it is desirable to provide an annular chamber around the driving-shaft between the working-chamber and the stuffing-box, and to connect this annular space with the suction side of the pump by means of a pipe or channel. The pump may be water-jacketed.
