Patent GB-190930387-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pressure Regulating Devices for Controlling the Supply of Gas to Gas Burners.
Inventor: KEITH JAMES
IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 1909-12-29
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 30,387. Keith, J., and Keith, G. Dec. 29. [Cognate Application, 11,269/10.] Pressure-regulating valves. -- Relates to gas pressure-regulators for use more particularly in railway and like carriages for controlling the supply of gas to burners from high - pressure storage cylinders, and of the kind having a casing with a hollow inwardly-projecting inlet member, such as E, and a valve carried by a stirrup suspended from an adjustably-loaded diaphragm. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, the tension spring is connected at one end to the stirrup I by means of a screw R, and at the other end to an adjusting-bolt L which carries a pin Q engaging at its ends in guidegrooves in the casing to prevent the bolt L from being rotated during adjustment. The stirrup is hinged to the diaphragm J at i, as shown, so that it can be moved laterally to facilitate removal of the valve G. The casing is formed with an inward extension S on which the diaphragm may rest, and which facilitates the adjustment of the valve G relatively to the diaphragm by means of the screw R. In a modification, the tension spring is connected directly to the stirrup, the stirrup is secured rigidly to the diaphragm, and the inward extension S is dispensed with.

Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 2427. Leedham, R. C. Jan. 31. Movable - abutment type; packing vanes; valve-gear.-Relates to a reversible rotary engine having a rotary abutment which acts as a cut - off valve, and duplicate inlet ports arranged in one cylinder cover, and duplicate exhaust ports in the other cover, the exhaust ports and the inlet ports being reversed in succession by the movement of a single slide-valve. An abutment 19, which is formed with a recess 20 to allow the passage of a packed piston 18, is provided with a flange 32 in which ports 41 are formed. These ports, Fig. 7, connect passages 39, 40 with ports 30, 31 in the end cover 22. Motive fluid is admitted to a chest 35, and enters either passage 39 or 40 according to the position of a hand-operated slide-valve 42. Two exhaust ports controlled by slide-valves 51, 52 are arranged in the opposite end-cover 21, and co-operate with the two inlet ports for forward and reverse driving. In the valve chest 35 are provided two ports 64, 66 which lead by pipes 63, 65 to the opposite ends of a cylinder 60 in which a piston 61 is situated. This piston operates by means of a lever 55 the valves 51, 52, closing one exhaust port and opening the other. On moving the slide-valve 42 in order to reverse the inlet ports, the passage 66 or 64 is first uncovered, the piston 61 being thereby actuated by the motive fluid to reverse the exhaust valves 51, 52.

Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 13,057. Pottinger, T. May 31. Granaries and corn-bins.-Grain is so distributed in a bin that the heavier particles lie against the sides and the lighter in the centre above the outlet orifice, with the object of ensuring an even quality of samples drawn from the bin. The distribution is effected by a conical or pyramidal surface 14, with or without projections 19, to which the grain is fed from a shoot 3 over an adjustable board 2 and hopper 11. The board 2 slides on a frame 4 and is fixed by screws 6. The frame is pivoted at 5 and the board can thus be placed at any angle and secured by a screw 7. From the base of the casing 1 the grain descends to the hopper 11 supported on slotted hangers, for vertical adjustment, secured between lock-nuts on horizontal screws attached to the hopper to allow lateral adjustment. The exact form of the cone &c. 14 depends upon the relative position of the inlet and outlet of the bin.

Abstract: 767. Schneider, A. Jan. 10. Bottling.-Relates to mechanism for bottling liquids under pressure in which the receptacle is mounted on an horizontally-moving rotary support, and the filling-tube and sealing-head are actuated by pistons mounted in separate cylinders arranged in series. Automatically and simultaneously operated valves are provided for controlling the flow of liquid to, and the escape of air from, the bottle. The main cylinder 12, Fig. 1, is divided by a transverse partition into two tandem cylinders each containing a piston and rod. The upper pistonrod 18 carries a cross-head 19, to which are connected a liquid-supply pipe 51, which works telescopically in a fixed supply-pipe 49, and a filling-tube 20 which works through the filling- head 60, which is carried by a cross-head 63 and supported through a tubular connexion 22 and bracket 23 by the lower piston-rod 21. Spring-controlled valves 58 and 80 control the supply of liquid and escape of air respectively, and are operated by the cross-head 19 reaching its lowest position. The valve 80 is connected to passages in the cross-head 63 by a tube working telescopically in the connexion 22. A plug cock 30 controls the supply of pressure from a nozzle 46 for operating the pistons. The pressure is supplied, or exhausted, through pipes 35, 43 according to the position of the valve. The pipe 35 and its continuation 36 are connected to the upper ends of both cylinders, the pipe 43 being connected to the lower end of the upper cylinder. In operation, the pistons are moved downwards by pressure supplied to both cylinders, the space below the piston in the upper cylinder being exhausted simultaneously. To move the pistons upwards, pressure is supplied to the bottom of the upper cylinder, the space above both pistons being exhausted. The two pistons are so connected that the lower one is raised by the upper one while they move downwards independently. It is stated that the machine can be used in conjunction with the counter-pressure system described in Specification 24,056/11.
