Title: Improved Closing Device for Capsules designed to Contain Gas or other Fluid under High Pressure.
Filed: 1897-03-02
Granted: 1897-11-20
Abstract: 5589. Wise, W. L., [Brischar, F. J.]. March 2. Storing under pressure.-Relates to capsules for containing gas or other fluid under high pressure. The neck b of the capsule is formed with an internal shoulder c, on which rests the flange d<0> of the closing-cap d. Above this cap is inserted a second cap e, which is secured in position by turning over the edge b<o> of the neck, the space n between the caps being filled by a suitable packing. The caps e, d are formed with apertures m, i, through which the capsule is charged, the aperture m being closed after charging by the valve g mounted in the chamber f, between the caps. The stem g<1> of the valve passes through the aperture m, and the base is formed with projections or grooves to prevent the valve from blocking the aperture i. The stem g<1> may be arranged to pass through the aperture i, or it may be dispensed with. In a modification, the caps are directed outwardly from the capsule. The capsule can be wholly or partially emptied, as required, and is capable of being refilled.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Closing Doors.
Inventor: PRIESTER HERMAN
Filed: 1897-08-17
Granted: 1898-06-18
Abstract: 19,025. Priester, H. Aug. 17. Door-closing apparatus door checks.-The closing-apparatus is of the usual form, the spindle F, to which the closing-spring C is connected, being continued into a second chamber or check cylinder E containing liquid. A partition K, with an orifice M, is fixed to the casing, and a vane I is secured to the spindle boss F<1>. Flaps of leather &c.J, L are attached to the vane and partition to form liquid-tight joints when the spindle rotates during the closing of the door, the only passage for the liquid then being through the aperture M, the size of which can be varied by a screw P to regulate the closing of the door. During the opening of the door the liquid flows freely past the vane by forcing back the flap J. A pistonlike cover N is forced into the cylinder by a screw cap 0, preventing escape of liquid past the top and bottom edges of the vane. In a modification, the vane is formed on the boss and the partition on the cylinder, the spindle bearing in the division A<2> and the cylinder being formed conical to facilitate the formation of water-tight joints.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Generating, Cooling, and Storing Acetylene Gas.
Inventor: BAUGHAN WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1897-12-22
Granted: 1898-12-10
Abstract: 30,272. Baughan, W. H. Dec. 22. Acetylene.-Two generators G, G', mounted in a tank T', receive p e r - forated carbide containers, and are closed by weighted covers X which are sealed by the water in the tank. The gas outlet pipes J, J<1> pass from the g e n e - rators to a condenser C, where they are sealed by water for preventing the gas from passing back from the holder. A pipe I rising from the condenser a b o v e the water in the tank T delivers the gas under the bell H. Water is supplied to the generators from the tank T, or from a separate tank, by a weighted valve V, when a projection P in the bell depresses the upper arm of the valve lever Q. The water passes thence to a T-pipe K, the branches of which are fitted with cocks M, M' provided with levers weighted at N, N' for keeping them normally open. Either of them may be closed by a tripping-lever R supporting a rod B. When the first generator G<1> is exhausted and the bell H descends so as to bring the projection P into engagement with the lower arm of the valve lever Q, a projection P<1> on the bell depresses the rod B, which thereupon trips the lever R and allows the cock M to admit water into the second generator. The cock M' may then be closed by bringing it under the lever K, and the generator G<1> may be emptied and recharged.
