Filed: 1911-01-09
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 590. Grimsdale, W. H. Jan. 9. Actions; expression, controlling.-Relates to pneumatic actions of the kind described in Specification 1767/10, in which several valves are provided for each striking-pneumatic, and the loudness of the notes sounded is determined by the width of the tune-sheet apertures. According to the present invention, both primary and secondary valves are employed. The primary valves e, f are controlled by pneumatics c, d, which are connected to the trackerbar by a pipe a. The valve f is normally held in the position shown by a spring s of adjustable tension, and is also connected to a pneumatic w, which assists it to open when the pneumatic t has been connected to the exhaust-chest v. The valves c, f connect the pneumatics l, m either to atmosphere or to the chest v, so operating valves n, o controlling ports of different areas between the striking pneumatic t and the chest v. The time-interval that elapses between the operation of the valves e, f, and therefore of the valves n, o, varies according to the quantity of air admitted by the tune-sheet to the pipe a. The suction acting upon the pneumatic @ and the loudness of the note therefore vary according to the width of the tune-sheet aperture. The valve n is adapted to close the atmospheric connexion of the pneumatic t. The pressure of the spring s on the valve f may be removed by the operation of the striking-pneumatic. In a modification, one of the primary valves is of conical shape so that the size of the connexion of the secondary pneumatic to atmospheric varies with the lift of the valve. The atmospheric connexion controlled by this valve may be normally closed by the other primary valve. In a further modification three primary and three secondary valves are provided, two of the primary valves being normally held closed by springs of different tentions. A device may be provided to ensure the closing of the third primary valve.
