Title: Improvements in and relating to the Valve Gear of Reversing Engines and the like.
Inventor: MACTAGGART HUGH HOLMES
Filed: 1908-08-24
Granted: 1909-05-13
Abstract: 17,720. MacTaggart, H. H., and Scott, R. G. Aug. 24. Starting-engines.-In a valve-gear for a reversing- engine or the like, a floating lever e connected atf to the valve spindle g is linked at f<1>, g<1> to a weighshaft h, on which the operating-lever r is carried. The lower end of the lever e is connected by a link l to a rocking lever j, which receives its motion, directly or through linkage, from a slider-piece on a horn o on the common piston-rod p of the steam and hydraulic cylinders a, b respectively. In operation, by moving the lever r in the direction of the arrow X, the link e is swung about the pivot s, thus moving the valve t to the right The piston-rod p then travels in the same direction, causing the link e to swing about the then fixed centre v, by which the locking-valve u and steam valve t are brought back to the closed positions. In a modification for. comparatively short-stroke engines, the link e is connected by links to the horn o or directly to the sliderpiece thereon.

Title: Apparatus for Indicating and Recording the Speed of Motor Road Vehicles and the like.
Inventor: GILBERT THOMAS
Filed: 1908-09-03
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 18,517. Gilbert, T. Sept. 3. Speed indicators.-Apparatus for recording the speed of motor road vehicles comprises a clockdriven record-disk F across the face of which a pricker B is moved by a spring piston A, which is actuated by a fan E driven from a wheel of the vehicle. The pricker consists of a spring plunger b<1> which is slidable in a hollow boss a<3> at the end of the piston-rod and is operated at short intervals by a cam H rotated by the vehicle. A shoulder a<3> on the piston-rod limits the inward movement of the piston and so prevents the recording of speeds below a certain value. On the attainment of excessive speed an alarm may be electrically given by means of a contact on the piston-rod.

Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 14,748. Rupp, P. June 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Tyre attachments to rims. - Consists in a rapidly disconnectible screw connexion shown in Figs. 3 and 4 in its application to securing a tyre-retaining bolt 1 in a wheel rim. The threaded ring 3 at the end of the cap 2 is interrupted at 4, and the bolt is correspondingly flattened so that a rotation of 90 degrees from the position shown in Fig. 4 enables the bolt to enter the slot 4 and completely disengages the threading so that the cap may be slid on or lifted off freely. For obtaining such freedom, a spring-pressed plunger 6 is drawn up and rotated, by means of its protruding end 8, so that a tongue 5, which forms an extension of it, rests on the shoulder 11 of the ring 3, as shown in Fig. 3. To engage the threads, the plunger is turned until the tongue enters and fits the slot 4, as shown in Fig. 4. The ring 3 is tightened or turned to the disengaging position by a key or butterfly grip, which may have projections entering recesses 14 on the cap. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the tongue 5 is formed on the coupling or cap 26, which is held fast by a snap spring 17 when the tongue has entered the slot in the ring 3. In an alternative form, the cap is slidably carried by a jacket tube, which is held by a bayonet-joint in the thumbwings 18 and contains a spring which presses the tongue 5 into the slot. The slotted nut may also be used in combination with a screw having an uninterrupted thread.

Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 478. McLean, E. Jan. 7. Actuating.-The valve L, Fig. 5, which controls the supply of motive fluid to the fuel stoker C<1> of a furnace is operated by a pistonmotor J controlled by an auxiliary valve h<5>, which is operated by a regulator H. This regulator comprises a chamber h connected on one side of a pivoted plate h<3> with the boiler and on the other with the steam pipe E. The plate h<3> is connected to the valve stem h<6> and acts against an adjustable spring h<7>. In a modified form of the regulator, the axis of the plate h<3> passes through its centre of gravity, and the top of the chamber is part of a cylinder having its axis coincident with that of the plate, a flange h<11> forming with it a lengthened constricted clearance for the passage of steam from one side to the other. In a further modification, the plate is supported on knife-edges, stops are provided in the chamber to limit its motion, and the spring h<7> is dispensed with. The plate may be suspended on a vertical axis to avoid the action of gravity. In a modified form of apparatus shown in Fig. 4, the steam pressure from the boiler acts under a diaphragm g<2> which is loaded by a weight g<5>, the movements of the diaphragm being transmitted direct to the operating-cylinders I, Fig. 4, or J, Fig. 5, by a column of oil &c. in a connecting pipe. The desired ratio of the movements of the diaphragm g<2> and the operating-piston i<2> is obtained by suitable relative areas of the diaphragm and piston.
