Granted: 1905-09-06
Abstract: 19,229. Lentz, H., and Bellens, C. Sept. 6. Cylinders ; valves and valve gear.- Relates to the application of cylindiicallift distributing-valves to locomotives, in order to facilitate the use of super heated steam. The ordinary cylinders are removed and replaced by cylinders a, Fig. 1, fitted with the special arrangements o f distributing-valves, which can be operated by the ordinary valve gear. Fig. 3 shows a longitudinal section through a cylinder and valve-chest, and Fig. 8 a section through a valve-chest cover forming a dustproof and oil-tight casing for the means for operating the valves from the ordinary valve gear. This casing comprises a longitudinal passage k containing the rod o, which is connected to and operated by the rod b, and vertical tubes m, m<1>, m<2>, m<3>. In order to prevent irregular expansion of the walls of the cylinder, the steam passage g and exhaust passage are isolated from the cylinder. A modification is shown in Fig. 6 applied to compound cylinders arranged in tandem. The valvechest cover may be divided into two parts at the centre. The Provisional Specification describes also means for preventing radial valve gears from being affected by variations arising from the yielding suspension of the driving-wheels. These means appear to consist in the use of a bar forming a rigid connection between the axle and the adjustable rocking shaft for regulating or reversing the engine.

Abstract: 20,959. Bazin, E. L. Oct. 15, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Valves closing with rush of fluid.-Relates to a valve for stopping automatically the flow of steam gas, or water in the event of a fracture in the pipes, or of any sudden diminution of pressure on either side of the valve. The valve comprises a sliding ring or cylinder 9, which is adapted to slide either way and cover one or other of the opening 5, 6 in the cylinder 2. The central part 3 of the cylinder, which is thickened, forms a guide for a sliding piston 4, which is connected to the ring 9 by a pin 10 passing through slots in the cylinder 2. The valve is brought to its central open position, as shown in Fig. 1, by a lever 18 bearing on rollers 16, 17 on a compound,lever 13, 11, which engages the ring 9 by means of its flanges or by the pin 10. In the event of the pipe on the side 8, remote from the boiler, breaking, the piston 4 will be forced along, carrying with it a ring 9, which closes the opening-6 and stops the passage of fluid. When the diminution of pressure takes place on the side 7, the ring 9 moves in the opposite direction to close the opening 5. A cock 22 is fitted to drain away condensed steam &c. To prevent a too sudden rise of the boiler pressure when the valve is brought into operation, a slight escape is allowed by the cock 23, which is opened by means of the chain connexion with the lever 18. The valve may be operated and returned to its central position by means of the handle 24. The piston 4 may be dispensed with and the passage closed, the height of the flanges being necessarily increased; the lever 18 may be replaced by a pendulum and the valve ring by a slide valve.
