Abstract: 14,592. Booth, G. July 9. Extinguishing gas.-An automatic cut-off for gas burners is fixed between the controlling-cock and the burner, and comprises in combination a valve and a detent member so arranged that the valve opens automatically by the pressure of the gas when the detent is operated to free the valve. When the gas pressure falls to a certain extent the valve closes, and the detent holds it locked until the detent is operated by hand. As shown in Fig. B, the main cock is provided with a cam 8, across which is placed a small rod adapted to raise a light hollow detent member 9 off its seat 7, 10 when the main cock is turned on. The detent 9 normally holds a valve 4 closed on its seat 2 by means of a rod 5 attached to the seat 7, and, when the detent 9 rises, the valve 4 opens, and the gas maintains the detent 9 in its raised position, and the gas escapes through openings 11 into a closed box and thence to an outlet 12. When the pressure falls, the detent 9 falls and closes the valve 4. For inverted burners, the inlet 12 is connected by a tube 13 to the valve 4, and the gas passes from the box to the outlet 1. As shown in Fig. 2, the detent 9 is replaced by a light hollow detent g provided with a valve h which guides the detent. The detent g is raised by a spring-controlled rod k, the valve e opens, and the gas maintains the detent g raised, but the gas can pass round the detent and through apertures o. When the pressure falls, the detent g closes the valve e, and holds it closed until the detent g is again raised by hand.

Abstract: 26,690. Andersson, K., Hopper, A. G., and Greenwood, J. E. H., [representatives of Greenwood, A.]. Nov. 17. Regulating; working-fluid supply.-A mixedpressure turbine comprises a low-pressure stage a fitted with two segmental steam-chests communicating with pipes k, n respectively, and a high-pressure stage b which may be supplied with live steam. Low-pressure steam is supplied by a pipe and high-pressure steam by a pipe o. Two valves u, t mounted upon a spindle v admit steam successively to the pipes k, n, and a valve d controls the admission of live steam. These three valves are all operated by a governor m through suitable link-work. During ordinary working with low pressure, steam enters at j and passes through one or both of the valves u, t to the stage a and is exhausted at l, the high-pressure stage b running idle. Should the supply of low-pressure steam be insufficient, a piston r, subjected above to the steam pressure and below to the condenser pressure, is raised and thereby raises the valves u, t so as to close the pipe n only, or the pipes k, n, and at the same time to open the valve d. Live steam next actuates the stage b and then acts by partial impact upon the stage a, the remaining arc of stage a being acted upon by the low-pressure supply from j or not, according to the conditions of load.
