Patent GB-190121775-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Valves
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
Filed: 1901-10-29
Granted: 1901-12-07
Abstract: 21,775. Haddan, H. J., [Wallace, H. L.]. Oct. 29. Measured quantities, delivering.-A waste-preventing valve which closes automatically after a predetermined interval or flow is shown in the Figures. The inlet 11 is at the side of the valve-chamber 10, and allows the fluid to act on the upper surface of the main valve 14 and also on the under surface of the piston 16, which is on the valve-spindle and is of larger area than the valve. The casing tapers outwardly from the valve seat, and has guides 17. The starting valve 20 is normally closed by the fluid pressure, and when opened by hand, allows the fluid above the piston to pass into a large bye-pas3 24 to the outlet 12. The effective fluid pressure underneath the piston now raises it together with the valve, and causes an adjustable striker 25 in the valve-spindle to close the actuating valve. The gradual leakage of fluid past the loosely-fitting piston allows the main valve to close after the required interval.

Granted: 1902-10-16
Abstract: 22,474. Fournival, A., Lacaille, E., Lacaille, L., and Ivon, A. Nov. 7. Spindle apparatus.-Relates to the travellers of ring and traveller frames. A piece of wire is bent into the form shown in Figs. 1 and 5, the extremities of the bow-shaped part a, which carries the guide-eyes e, being bent in the manner shown in Fig. 5, so that the hooks b will run in an L-shaped groove c in the ring, and, when the traveller is tilted, the horizontal part 3 of each hook will rub against the upper part of the groove c. In this form, the parts 3, 4 of each hook are turned in the same direction, so that the traveller will rotate in only one direction round the ring. In order that the traveller may be turned in either direction on the ring, the hooks b may be made symmetrical as shown in Fig. 8, or plain hooks formed by bending the wire twice at right-angles may be used, each hook carrying a spring blade which presses on the lower surface of the groove during the rotation of the traveller. The extremities of the bow-shaped part a may be pivoted to a semicircular band or wire m, Fig 13, or to a flat semicircular strip q, Fig. 18, the hooks b being in this case arranged in opposite directions and obliquely to the plane of the bow a. Or, as shown in Fig. 21, the two arms of the bow may be connected by a fixed semicircular part r, which may rotate above the plane of the ring, or be bent out of the true semicircular form and be caused to engage or rub against an upwardly-projecting flange thereon.
