Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 7715. Robinson, J. G. March 28. Fluid-pressure; indicators, applications of.-In railway vehicles provided with automatic vacuum or air brakes supplemented by hand - operated brakes, means are provided for opening a valve in connexion with the train-pipe and for actuating a visible or audible signal when the hand brakes are applied, in order to attract the driver's attention. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the hand brakes are operated in the usual manner by a screw b, nut c, link d, bell-crank f, and pull-rod h. The pull-rod h is connected at g to a push-bar i, which is formed with inclines i<2>, i<3> engaging fixed stops j, and with a slot i<1> engaging a pin o, which is connected to a link n and adapted to slide also in fixed slots k<1>. The link n is connected at its upper end to an arm q fixed to a cross-shaft r, the ends of which are provided with arms p connected by rods t to a visible signal u, which indicates whether the brakes are on or off. This signal may be used with a bell, gong, or whistle. The shaft r is further provided with a cam w, which, by means of a rod x, raises valves z, z<1> arranged respectively in connexion with the trainpipes of the vacuum and Westinghouse brakes. In a modification, Fig. 5, the push-bar i is replaced by a telescopic bar 10, which is held extended by a spring 11 and rocks the shaft r by means of a lever 12 pivoted at 13. An arm 1 on the shaft r is connected by a rod 2 to a bell-crank 3, which is connected to a rod 5 arranged to operate the guard's hand-lever 15 for controlling the vacuum brake, and to open a valve z<1> on the branch pipe 7 from the Westinghouse train-pipe.

Title: Improvements in Pipe Coupling Devices for Railway and the like Vehicles.
Inventor: BOIRAULT LOUIS
IPC: B61G5/08
Filed: 1912-10-26
Granted: 1913-09-18
Abstract: 24,558. Boirault, L. Nov. 8, 1911, [Convention date]. Coupdings, automatic, combined with pipe couplings. Relates to brake - pipe couplings with spring-closed valves for railway &c. vehicles carried bv the vehicle couplings, and comprises means to throw the valve-spring out of action when the bolts or equivalent of the vehicle couplings are in the locking position so that the valves remain open and the brakes are thereby applied should the coupling part accidentally. The device is shown applied to a coupling of the Boirault type, in which bolts 26 are operated by an arm 25. A valve-box 1, with a pipe 5, is secured to the plate 2 of the coupling by a nut 4 and contains a disk valve 7 bearing on a seat 6 under the action of a spring 8. The spring bears against a piston 17, connected to the valve by a pin and slot 20, passing through the cap 9, and resting against a pivoted arm 23. When the bolts 26 are in the uncoupled position, the arm 25 holds the arm 23 and piston 17 in the position shown in full lines, the spring 8 being in compression and the valve closed. In the coupled position, the arms 23, 25 and piston 17 are as shown in dotted lines, and the spring 8 is not in compression so that the valve may remain open should the coupling-bolts break. The dimensions are chosen so that the draught of escaping fluid will not close the valve. The valve carries wings 10 and a conical ring 11, against which the conical portion of a washer 16 of the form shown is held by a ring 13. The washer makes a fluid-tight sliding fit within the valve-box 1 and projects from the face of the coupling to make joint with a similar washer in the other coupling. The valves unseat each other when the parts are coupled. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also a modification in which the arm 23 and piston 17 are omitted, the spring 8 bearing against the cap 9. In this form, the valves always close when the parts are uncoupled. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
