Title: Improvements in Fluid Pressure Valve Regulators.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 1910-09-12
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 21,204. Lake, W. E. Sept. 12. Regulating delivery by varying speed of motor.-In a fluid - pressure valve - controlling device for regulating the supply of steam to a steam pump in which pressure is arranged to be exerted on both the inside and outside of one or more hollow diaphragms 12, the diaphragms are connected with the valve stem 11 at the end 13 remote from the valve 7. A tube 16, disposed at the opposite side of the valve casing, and into which the stem 24 of the valve projects, contains a spring 22 and a screwed spindle 19 for adjusting the spindle. When steam is admitted to the steam supply pipe 5, it passes through a passage 9 to the interior of the diaphragms, which expand and cause the valve 7, which is normally held open by a spring 22, to open still further and admit an increased supply of steam to the pump. Feed water from the pump is admitted through the pipe 15 into the casing 8. The valve 12 closes to stop the admission of steam to the pump when the pressure of the feed water is in excess of the steam pressure and the pressure exerted by the spring 22.

Abstract: 15,945. Lake, H. W., [Parker Transmission and Appliance Co.]. July 8. Variable-speed toothed gearing; clutches, claw. -Operating-means for variable-speed gearing comprises a rock-shaft 37, Fig. 1, having an arm 39 always in connexion with a main shiftable clutch member 7 and other arms 40, 41 adapted to make connexion alternatively with other shiftable members 11. The gearing described comprises driving and driven shafts 1, 2, Fig. 4, adapted to be connected by the double clutch member 7 and a member 8 for direct driving, and also to be connected through the member 7, a member 9, gears 6, and countershafts 3, 4, 5, Fig. 1, for other two speeds and reversed driving. The member 7 is moved into engagement with the member 9 when any of the countershaft members 11 is operated. The arm 39 has a long end 44 always engaging the shifter 12 of the member 7, while the arms 40, 41 engage the other shifters 12 alternatively. These shifters 12 for the members 11 are in the form of rods carrying notches 42, Fig. 2, for engaging the operating-arms. There is a spring connexion 19 between each rod 12 and a striking- fork 14 to allow the rock-shaft 37 to be operated when desired, and the claw member 11 to follow when possible. There is a double spring connexion 21, Fig. 4, in the case of the clutch 7. The shaft 37, Fig. 1, is movable axially against the thrust of a spring 45 to select, and then turned by suitable lever mechanism to operate the shifters 12. A plate 46 with depending shoulders 47 is provided for locking the unselected shifters. The arms 39, 40, 41 pass through slots in the plate 46 and cause it to slide longitudinally with the shaft 37. The shifter of the clutch 7 is normally locked by a pin engaging ribs on an independently-movable crank. The claws of the clutch members 11, Fig. 2, may have inclined ends to allow a ratchet-like action to take place in case the driving-clutch member is moving too fast. The claws of the clutch member 8, Fig. 4, are formed with cut-away parts 32 to facilitate engagement with the member 7 when this is in rapid motion, an arrangement specially useful for re-starting the engine upon a motor-vehicle that has been coasting down a hill with the engine ' dead.'
