Title: Improvements in and relating to Cable Grips.
Inventor: REICHWALD AUGUST
Filed: 1905-10-05
Granted: 1906-10-05
Abstract: 20,174. Reichwald, A., [Duisburger Maschinenbau Akt.-Ges. vorm. Beechem & Keetman]. Oct. 5. Rope grips.-Relates to a cable - gripping device for pit winding or hoisting gear, and to a device for preventing overwinding. Figs. 1, 3, and 4 show sectional views of the devices, Fig. 4 being a section at right-angles to a section shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The grip comprises two conical gripping-jaws 2, shown detached in Figs. 7 and 8, which are forced upwards and pressed against the cable 5 by the noses 7 , on the levers 8. These levers carry and are operated by the load, which is supported from their longer arms by chains 10<a>. The gripping-jaws are maintained in their relative vertical position by lateral projections 3 and corresponding-recesses, Figs. 7 and 9, and are guided by the interaction of the grooves 4, Fig. 5, and suitable projections on the inner side of the casing. Ties or bars 11, Figs. 3 and 6, made of some specially strong material, are provided inside the casing for receiving the thrust of the pivotbolts 10. When desired, the cable grip can be operated independently of the load by means of the screw bolts 13 and nuts 17. By adjusting the nuts 18, excessive straining, of the grip by. the load can also be prevented. In order to pull the cable through the grip after the levers 8 are released, screws 19 are arranged on the lower part of the gripper casing which may conveniently connect the gripper with the safety grip 21. The cable is drawn through the grip by screwing up the nuts. The device for preventing overwinding consists of two knives 33, Fig. 1, which, if the cage should be raised too high, are forced inwards by the levers 27, 29 so as to cut the cable, Fig. 3. The levers 27, 29 are forced inwards against the knives by the casing 37, which is placed below the winding-drum. Simultaneously with the cutting of the cable, the projecting parts 38 of the levers 29 catch on the upper surface of the casing 37 and support the cage. The knives and levers are normally prevented from moving by means of the copper pins 34, 35, 36, which are cut through when the levers are positively operated.

Title: Improvements in Pressure Reducing Valves.
Inventor: EDWARDS HENRY ERNEST
Filed: 1907-12-04
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 26,814. Edwards, H. E. Dec. 4. Reducing-valves.-The valve comprises (1) a main valve 7 controlling the passage of fluid from the inlet 1 to the outlet 3; (2) an operating- piston 5 subject on the lower side to the inlet pressure acting through the apertures 8, 9 in the main valve, and on the upper to the inlet pressure acting through the passage 11 ; and (3) a pilot valve 22, for controlling the communication between the space 6 above the piston 5 and the outlet chamber 3 through the passages and ports 23, 24, 16. The pilot valve is formed integral with a piston 14, subject to the fluid pressure in the outlet and to the opposing pressure of the springs 17 acting through the cross-head 19. In operation, when the pressure in the outlet falls unduly, the pilot valve 22 is raised by the springs and relieves the pressure above the main-valve piston 5 through the passages 23, 16, so that the main valve is opened further by the pressure on the underside of the piston 5. When the pressure in the outlet is restored, the pilot valve falls and throttles the passage 23, whereby pressure accumulates again in the space 6 and moves the main valve down to restrict the fluid supply. The piston 5 may be replaced by diaphragm. If the control springs 17 breaks; the pilot valve drops into the chamber 15, leaving the passages 23 and 16 in communication, so that the valve continues to pass fluid with little or no diminution of pressure.
