Title: Improvements in coin-operated safety valves for gas meters
IPC: G07F15/00
Filed: 1932-10-17
Abstract: 402,227. Prepayment mechanism for gas-meters. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP MACHINERIEEN-EN APPARATEN-FABRIEKEN, 30, Croeselaan, Utrecht, Holland. Oct. 17, 1932, No. 29024. Convention date, Dec. 15, 1931. [Class 27.] Valves, special arrangements and applications of.-In order to prevent in a prepayment gas' meter, when a coin is again inserted after the supply has been automatically cut-off, the danger of an escape of gas through cocks that may have been left open in the service pipe, the coin-operated valve is closed, after consumption of the prepaid quantity, by a lever or rod which is withdrawn on the insertion of a coin without thereby positively opening the valve, which, when the gas pressure on the consumption side is reduced, remains closed owing to the surplus pressure of the gas acting on the other side. The coinoperated valve comprises the seating a, Fig. 1, located in the path of flow b of the gas, and the valve disc c with spindle d. The valve is closed by the lever e moved by the prepayment mechanism. On insertion of a further coin, the lever is withdrawn again but the disc c remains closed until gas pressure accumulates on its spindle side. In Fig. 2 the closing effect of the gas pressure is enhanced by a diaphragm 12 which carries a movable seat 10 co-operating with a fixed disc 9. The valve housing 8 is attached to the outlet 2 of the meter 3 and to the service pipe by screw connections 15, 16. The valve is closed by a push rod 18 actuated by the prepayment mechanism engaging the valve spindle 17. A light spring 21 assists the opening of the valve, when the cocks are closed on the service piping and gas pressure has accumulated on that side of the valve. The pressure may accumulate by leakage or a bye-pass 39 having a cock 40 to be opened by hand and closed by a spring may be provided. Another arrangement of valve, the top side of the diaphragm being connected to the service pipe by a bye-pass 38, is shown in Fig. 3. A further arrangement to equalize pressure on both sides of the valve, when the service cocks are closed, is shown in Fig. 4. The guide box 27 for the valve spindle 17 is partly filled with fabric 23 and is provided with a small hole 22. A disc 26, when the spindle 17 is pressed to closing position, closes the box 27 and forms a small auxiliary valve. The pressure of the spindle 17 is transmitted to the disc 26 through a spring 24. As shown in Fig. 5, the valve seat and spindle 17 are provided with a bore 25 leading to the top of the diaphragm. The top of the push rod 18 serves as an auxiliary valve to close the bore 25. The safety valve may be arranged in the inlet pipe to the meter.

IPC: C02F1/18
Filed: 1949-11-18
Abstract: <PICT:0691790/III/1> A still, suitable for distilling sea-water on lifeboats, comprises a hollow jacket forming a casing which extends through the entire height of the still, a boiler disposed within the casing but spaced away from the inner wall thereof, a burner disposed below the boiler, a conduit connecting the vapour-space of the boiler to the interior of the jacket and a connection from the jacket to a reflux-tube pipe which is immersed in the liquid to be distilled. Some of the vapour is condensed in the jacket, and the remainder by heat-exchange with the liquid to be distilled; and both condensates are collected in the jacket.  In the Figure an aluminium jacket 1 bounds three sides of the rectangular still: and a hinged door 2 and a slidable sea-water storage-tank 14, when closed and lowered respectively, form the fourth side of the still, when it is to be stowed away.  A copper boiler 3 fitted with external fins of copper gauze (not shown) is disposed within the upper half of the still. The boiler is heated by solid fuel burner 5.  The space between the boiler and the upper part of the jacket is provided with insulating lining 4 Radiant heat from the sides of the burner-head is intercepted by auxiliary tanks 6, which are connected to the bottom of the boiler by tubes 7.  A flexible metal tube 15 connects the base of storage tank 14 to auxiliary tanks 6 via preheater tube 16 which is located in jacket 1.  The operating spindle 18 of valve 17 is adjusted so that there is a slight overflow of brine from the boiler via off-take 8, thereby avoiding deposition of salt in the boiler. The top of the boiler is fitted with an anti-splash head and a steam off-take 10, which is connected by two tubes 11 to the top of the jacket.  Part of the steam condenses directly in the jacket, and the excess passes through flexible pipe 12 to tube 13 which is surrounded by sea-water in tank 14.  The excess steam is thus condensed in tube 13, and the condensate flows to the jacket, while the heat is taken up by the sea-water.  Distilled water collects in the base of jacket 1 from which it may be removed through flexible tubing 19 to container 20 carried on door 2, by suction applied at nozzle 21. Specifications 564,634 and 691,791, [Group XII], are referred to.

Thread 62 is passed several times round rollers 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and treating fluids applied from nozzles 64. Wipers 11 are fitted to rolls 10, 12 which are mounted with their ends in fixed bearings in end wall plates 20, 22. Rolls 14, 16, 18 are mounted in self-aligning bearings in an end wall 30 and loosely engage stub shafts in the plate 22 so that by rotating the end wall 30 the axes of rolls 14, 16, 18 may be skewed relative to the axis of the reel. The rollers are driven by pinions 48 engaging a sun wheel driven by a pinion 48, for example that of roll 10, driven through bevel gearing 52, 54 from a shaft 56.

Abstract: 1294800 Sharpening machine cutters in situ MASCHINENFABRIK MOENUS AG 24 June 1971 [9 Sept 1970] 29717/71 Heading B3D A machine for cutting a workpiece comprises a belt knife 1, a grinding arrangement having at least one drivable grinding element 3, 4 movable into and out of an operative position in which the element contacts the cutting edge of the knife, sensing means 8 responsive to movement of the knife transverse of its longitudinal direction, and means actuable by the sensing means sensing such transverse movement exceeding a predetermined amount for displacing the grinding element out of its operative position. The knife runs over pulleys 2 and has its edge ground by two grinding discs 3, 4 which rotate in opposite directions and are engaged with the knife by rotation of a hand wheel 5 acting through links 6, 7. The sensing means consists of a grooved roller 8 which acts through a control valve 9 upon transverse movement of the knife to operate an hydraulic toothed rack drive connected to the hand wheel 5 to retract the discs 3, 4 from engagement with the knife. In other embodiments, the sensing means consists of a photo-cell, or pneumatic sensor. When the main drive motors for the knife is started or stopped, a control device (11, Fig. 3, not shown) acts to advance or retract, respectively, the grinding discs into and out of engagement with the knife, the device being actuated by an electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic pulse. The pulse may also be used to stop and start the drive to the grinding discs and the drive for the knife.
