Inventor: HIRST HUGO
Filed: 1904-07-01
Granted: 1904-08-11
Abstract: 14,767. Hirst, H., and Gunner, C. E. July 1. Conduits.-A nipple for connecting conduit tubes to fittings, such as sockets, tees, boxes, and the like, is made with an internal shoulder A, which prevents the conduit tube B from entering the fitting C to an indefinite extent and so injuring the conductor, and against which the tube is butted either with or without a packing of jointing- material to make the connection water-tight. A slot D is cut in the nipple almost, but not quite, through it, so that, on screwing it into the fitting C, the parts spring in and firmly grip the tube. If desired, instead of using a shoulder, the freeway through the nipple may be made taper, the narrow end being too small to allow the tube to pass.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Brake Apparatus for Railway and other Vehicles.
Filed: 1904-08-17
Granted: 1905-06-22
Abstract: 17,889. Westinghouse Brake Co., and Phillips, W. Aug. 17. Brakes.-In an automatic air-brake system, the air in the brake cylinder is gradually released, as the train comes to rest, by means of a valve controlled by an electromagnet excited by a dynamo driven from the axle of the vehicle. A permanent magnet consisting of a number of north and south poles 18, Fig. 4, is provided on a steel casing 19 bolted over the axle 2, the soft-iron cores 20 being secured to a stationary outer casing 21, which fits over turned shoulders 22 on the casing 19. The outer casing is connected to the car by an arm 3, Fig. 3. The valve 12, Fig. 8, which controls the connection between the brake-cylinder pipe 13 and the exhaust port 14 is connected to a rod 11, to which is fastened the armature 10 of an electromagnet 9. The brake-cylinder pressure @ on the valve 12, and when the force of the magnet attraction on the armature is diminished due to the slower speed of the vehicle, the valve 12 is raised and opens the brake cylinder to exhaust until the force on the armature exceeds that of the pressure on the lower side of the valve. An arrangement is shown in Figs. 7 and 8 whereby the dynamo does not run until the brakes are applied. The permanent magnets 18 are carried by a pulley 24 rotating in front of the stationary cores 20, Fig. 8, on the valve casing. The pulley 24 is connected by a spring 34 to the brake rigging and moves into contact with the axle 2 when the brakes are applied. The valve is connected to the brakecylinder pipe 8 by the pipe 29. Fig. 9 shows means whereby a certain pressure may be retained in the brake cylinder under the control of the driver. The brake-cylinder pipe is connected to a port 44 opening to a cylinder containing a piston 42 fastened on a hollow piston-rod 39 provided with ports 47, 41 and held in position by a spring 45. The piston-rod 39 is connected to a piston 36 on which is mounte the valve 12. The pulley 24 is normally held from the axle by means of the spring 45, which, pressing on the piston 42, moves the piston-rod 39 and the piston 36 to the left. On a pl@ing the brakes, the brake-cylinder pressure moves the piston 42 to the right and presses the puley 24 against the axle. The brake cylinder is theu opened to the valve 12 by means of the ports 47, 41 and the pipe 13. The Provisional Specification also states that, by having the rotor arranged so that it has a fixed position relatively to the car axle and, when the car is unloaded, projects below the lower edge of the stator attached to the car, the current may be varied in accordance with the load.

Granted: 1905-02-23
Abstract: 24,160. Losch, J. S. Nov. 8. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-The engine works on a two-stroke cycle and is particularly suitable for using heavy oil. Air is drawn into the front end of the cylinder through the pipes and valves 92<1>, 17,16, 98, and is forced into the mixing- chamber 13 through the pipe 98 and throttle valve 16. Oil is forced into the mixing-chamber through the nozzle 32 from a tank by means of some of the warmed compressed air. The oil enters the mixing-chamber through a hole uncovered by a valve 35 which is turned about its spindle 36 by a sliding cam engaging a conical bowl 46, Fig. 7, on its lever 45. The position of the bowl upon its pin 47 is adjusted by the governor lever 50. The air throttle valve 16 is simultaneously adjusted by the governor, and consequently controls the pressure in the oil tank. The mixing-chamber 13 is separated from the combustion chamber 14 by a valve 18, which, like the valve 17, is closed by a weight 19, and has washers 21 of soft material. The igniting- terminals 67, 75 are first pressed together and then suddenly released by a tappet which engages the plate 85, Fig. 6, and presses it away from the lever 83 against the force of the spring 87. On being released, the plate 85 hits the lever and turns the rod 72 carrying the terminal 75. A small carburetter, Fig. 15, is inserted into the air-supply pipe 92<1> at starting. It comprises a cylinder 94<1> containing an absorbent between gauze 96 and enclosed in an outer cylinder 95.

Patent GB-190505791-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Springs.
Inventor: THORP THOMAS
Filed: 1905-03-20
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 5791. Thorp, T. March 20. Lift valves, springs for. A blade spring oftempered steel or like material, which may be used in connexion with valves, is arranged so that the pressure exerted by it is reduced when the article pressed is moved in a direction opposite to that of the pressure. If such a spring is placed between abutments c, d, Fig. 1, so as to take up the arched position 1, and is pressed downwards at the centre, the upward pressure exerted by the spring will increase and reach a maximum when in the position 2, after which it will decrease, becoming zero when the neutral position 3 is reached. Beyond this position, the spring exerts a downward pressure, which increases to a maximum in the position 4 and then decreases. Hence, if the spring is held in a position 6, intermediate between the positions 2, 3, it will exert an upward pressure which will be reduced if the centre is moved downwards. The application of a spring in this position to an inverted discharge-valve is shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the ends of the spring being provided with tongues c' which fit into corresponding slots at the ends of arms b formed on the valve casing a. If the spring is required to exert a downward pressure at its centre, this arrangement is inverted ; or a spring in the position 5, Fig. 1, intermediate between the positions 3, 4, may be used. In modifications, two such springs may be used crossing at right-angles and being connected at the centre ; also the blades may be of varying width and may be formed into eyes at the ends which receive pins for attaching to the abutments.

Granted: 1905-12-07
Abstract: 8107. Kiecksee, M. P. H., and Deutsche Niles - Werkzeugmaschinen-Fabrik. April 15. Percussive hand - tools. -A hammer or other tool, driven by compressed air or the like, is controlled by a stepped piston valve, which is arranged so as to open with its ends two annular grooves, for the f r e e admission and exhaust of the air. In the position of the valve shown in the Figure, air passes through the conduit 1 and the groove 2, and forces the piston out upon the tool-shank, exhaust passing out through conduits 16, 15, 14, a groove 3, recess 20 in the valve, groove 4, and a passage 18 to the atmosphere. On the port 19 being uncovered by the rear end of the piston, the pressure fluid passes through the passages 11, 12 to the rear annular face of a collar formed on the valve which is driven forward, the area of the collar being greater than that of the front end of the valve. The grooves 2, 3 being thus connected, air passes along the passages 14, 15, 16 and returns the piston, exhaust passing through conduits 7, 8, a groove 5, and a conduit 6 to the atmosphere. When the front end of the piston uncovers the port 9, the air which reverses the valve passes through conduits 12, 11, 10 into the atmosphere along with the driving-air. On the piston covering the exhaust passage 7, the air enclosed between the piston and rear end of the cylinder is compressed and reverses the valve.

Granted: 1908-01-15
Abstract: 1055. Lake, H. H., [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. Jan. 15. Percussive hand tools.-Relates to a portable air-compressor for actuating percussive tools by means of reciprocating columns of air, and consists in means for maintaining a working pressure slightly above that of the atmosphere. The compressor 1 is driven through gearing by an electromotor 10, both being mounted on a portable platform 18. The inner cylinder end 3 extends into a closed crank casing 9 and receives the hollow trunk 5 of the piston 6. A flexible tube 14 connects each cylinder end with the tool. As the piston moves to the left from the position shown, atmospheric air is drawn into the crank casing 9 by way of a check valve 26 and pipe 28 to supply any deficiency in the working columns. After a predetermined portion of the stroke, the pressures of the working columns on the opposite sides of the piston are equalized by means of a bridge port 21. The casing supplies air to the front end of the cylinder only, by way of the pipe 28. a check valve 23, and a mid-length wall port 22, as the piston moves to the right, this necessitating the predetermination of the position of the bridge port so as to ensure the proper distribution of the air to the working columns.
