Abstract: 26,995. Jõger, B. M. Dec. 10. Ball and float valves; lift valves.-Barrels or other containers are filled by means of an apparatus which cuts off the supply immediately the barrels are filled. The funnel b, Figs. 1 and 2, fitted to the vessel a which is preferably connected to the liquid tank by a flexible hose, is inserted through the bunghole, together with the air tube c and the float h. The handle e" is raised to a vertical position, thus moving the bar m by means of the crank-pin p<1> till it is caught by the catch l, and the plug d mounted on the crank arm e is drawn out of the funnel b against the resistance of a spring coiled round the shaft e'. When the barrel is full, the float h is raised, whereby the catch l is released and the plug d is forced into the funnel, by the action of the spring aided by its own weight, the handle e<11> returning to a horizontal position. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that the plug may be actuated by hand or by means of a rack and pinion.

Title: Improvements in Steam Automobiles.
Inventor: DAVY WILLIAM JAMES
Filed: 1905-01-27
Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 1684. Davy, W. J. Jan. 27. Condensers; starting.-Relates to a condensing and cooling system for a steam automobile, and to an intercepting-valve for allowing a compound steam-engine to be worked simple for use in connexion therewith. In the condensing system, Fig. 1, the exhaust steam from the exhaust port H passes by the pipe H<1> to the air-cooled condenser A, and then by the pipe D to the water-cooled condenser C, which it leaves by the pipe G, the condensation water being finally pumped into the feed-water tank T by the air-pump P. The water in the tank T circulates continually through the circulating-pump F, the upper and lower nests of tubes W in the water-cooled condenser C, and the air-cooled radiator K, J, from which it returns to the top of the tank. Cooling of the water in the tank is assisted by air passing through tubes placed longitudinally in the tank. The intercepting-valve is shown in a position for working the engine simple in Fig. 2, and compound in Fig 3. When the engine is working simple, the exhaust from the high-pressure cylinder is led direct to the condenser through the port 4, passage 5, and port 6, and steam from the boiler is supplied to the lowpressure cylinder through the port 1, passage 2, and port 3. When it is working compound, the exhaust steam from the high-pressure cylinder passes to the low-pressure cylinder by the port 4, passage 5, and port 3, the ports 1, 6 being closed.

Title: Improvements in Electric Switches having Resistances.
Inventor: GARSIDE EDMUND
Filed: 1905-03-25
Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 6383. Garside, E. March 25. Switches.-The contact-arm of a resistance switch is connected to the operating-handle by an electromagnetic clutch, consisting of a pivoted armature acted upon by an electro-magnet and adapted to be engaged, only when so acted upon, by a projection on the operating-handle. A series of contacts b are supported on studs b, c, to the other ends of which are attached resistance elements d. These resistance elements are constructed by winding resistance wire upon an insulation-covered metallic core, one end of the wire being connected to the metallic core, which is rigidly fixed to one of the contact-studs, and the other end of the wire connected to one of the other adjacent contact-studs, as described in Specification No. 2920, A.D. 1905. The resistance wire is covered finally with an insulating-layer of clay or like material. Upon a central spindle e is mounted .a switch arm f, which bridges the contacts b from side to side and is carried upon the magnetic element g of the clutch, being urged to the ' off ' position by the spiral spring h. Upon a support i of the piece g is hinged an armature j so as to engage at one end the cylindrical holes and at the other end the outside oblong pole of the magnetic element g. A coil l in the field circuit of the motor is held in position around the central pole. The armature j is capable of rocking about the axis of the pin k so as to move a projection o into and out of engaging position with a spring-pressed pin v carried by the arm q which is mounted so as to turn with the lever r. When the handle is turned round backwards, the pin p tilts the the armature j if the field magnets are not excited, and upon the handle being turned in the forward direction the pin does not engage the projection o, so as to operate the switch arm, unless the armature is attracted by current in the winding l. If the feed-circuit is broken, the armature is released and is tilted over by the rotative action of the spring h on the switch arm f and device g, and the clutch is set free, allowing the switch to fly to the ' off ' position. The arm r is held in the ' full on' position by a detent which may be released by hand. In a modification, the poles with which the armature engages are connected to the switch arm and rotate freely with the operating- handle until the field circuit is completed.
