Granted: 1901-04-20
Abstract: 4148. Schauer, P. Feb. 26. Feedwater, supplying.-Relates to means for returning to a boiler the water produced by the condensation of the steam. The closed chamber T, placed above the boiler, is in communication with it through the pipe b, which is provided with a non-return valve y. The upper part of the chamber has an opening z<1>, which leads either to the steam pipe u or to the vent pipe v, according to the position of the valve t, and second opening z<2> leads through the non-return valve y' to the condensed-water pipe a. The tube i supports a bent tube l, to which is pivoted a beam m having a float q at one end, a counterpoise r at the other, and a sliding weight o between the two. The beam m is connected to the valve t by a pivoted rods, which may move slightly relatively to the valve. In the position shown, condensed water flows through the valve y' into the chamber T, until the float q, in rising, turns the beam m and moves the valve t. Steam then enters the chamber, and forces the water to fill the pipes e, f, g and enlargement d, after which the water flows through the valve y and tube b into the boiler until the level sinks to the line x-x, the water in the tube g flowing slowly through the aperture k. The water which still remains in the pipes e, f, g and enlargement d is forced past a return valve up the pipes i, l, and drops into the upper perforated part z of the float q, thus turning back the beam m and moving the valve t. The weight o may be replaced by a tube of mercury or an oscillating weight.

Title: Improvements in Fire Extinguishing Apparatus.
Inventor: LORRAIN JAMES GRIEVE
Filed: 1901-07-19
Granted: 1902-07-17
Abstract: 14,764. Lorrain, J. G., [Gray, F.]. July 19. Sprinklers, automatic.-Relates to that class of automatic sprinklers in which the water is held back by compressed air from the sprinkler head till required. The improvements are, (1), in the valve interposed between the water and the compressed air with the view of preventing reseating of the valve by the rebound of the column of water, and, (2), in the fusible link for releasing the valve of the sprinkler head. The valve between the air and water is shown in section in Fig. 1. It is double-seated, the upper disc 18 and the lower disc 17 being connected by the tube 16. Elastic washers 24 and 19 are placed on the face of the valves, where they rest on the seats, the washer 24 being acted on directly by compressed air through the apertures 29. On the seat of the lower valve is a circular groove 40, which fills with water when the valve is lifted, and prevents reseating. The water hammer acts through the openings 14 on both sides of the valve 17, and thus reduces the force tending to make the valve stick on its seat. The head of the fixed bolt 26, acting on the shoulders 28 in the tube 16, limits the lift of the valves. The link 44, Fig. 6, for holding and releasing the valve 42 of the sprinkler head, is mounted so as to connect together the levers 45 of the halves of the strut 41 interposed between the valve 42 and the set-screw 43. The construction of the link when fixed up is shown in section in Fig. 10, and when broken up by the heat of the fire in Fig. 11. The two parts of the link 50 and 49 are fixed together by solder and by a bent piece 52 passed through an aperture in 50 and soldered to 49. Additional security is given by passing a metal pin 57 into a hole formed half in each plate.
