Patent GB-190617410-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Automatic Fluid Pressure Brakes.
Inventor: CLOUD JOHN WILLS
Filed: 1906-08-02
Granted: 1907-08-01
Abstract: 17,410. Cloud, J. W. Aug. 2. Brakes.-To provide for a simultaneous application of fluid-pressure brakes throughout a train by an arrangement which is effective for long or short trains, a chamber 6, connected to the exhaust port of the driver's valve 2 and communicating with the atmosphere through a restricted hole 7, is used in combination with a constriction 9 in the passage between the auxiliary reservoir 4 and the brake cylinder 5. The constriction may be in the triple valve 3. The object of the chamber 6 is to prevent too great a drop of pressure in the train-pipe at the front part of the train ; but when it is made large enough to ensure the application of the brakes on long trains, it would be unsuitable, alone, for short trains, because there would be a comparatively large reduction of train-pipe pressure at the front of the train followed by a temporary rise in pressure there when the train-pipe pressure becomes nearly equal to that in the chamber, and this rise would move the triple valves to release. In order to prevent such reversal of the triple valves, the constriction 9 is provided. It retards the fall of pressure in the auxiliary reservoir and so prevents the temporary rise in the train-pipe from moving the valve. The passage between the triple valve and the brake cylinder may be automatically varied in area, e.g. the triple valve described in Specification No. 7242, A.D. 1906, may be employed. There may be more than one chamber 6 connected to one or more exhaust ports in the driver's valve.
