Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 7069. Haigh, H. R. March 21. Valves closing with rush of fluid; seats.-In valves for use in connexion with apparatus for illuminating railway carriages by compressed gas such as are described in Specification 22.922/06, in which the valve closes automatically when a breakage occurs in the pipes, the valve and its seating are arranged so that, when the valve closes, any tar &c. adhering to the valve is cut through. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 2 and 3. this is effected by forming the valve with a leather face b and the seating with a sharp contact-edge d. In another arrangement, the soft flexible material forms the valve seating. The valve-supporting plug c is formed with lateral openings c<3>, c<1> for the passage of gas. When it is desired to discharge the gas reservoir, the gas contained therein is allowed to escape through passages a<1>, a<7> to a suitable storage tank by means of a handoperated screw e.

Title: Improvement in the Manufacture of Glass Articles.
Inventor: STUTZ CHARLES CHRISTIAN
IPC: C03B9/20
Filed: 1911-07-25
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 17,059. Stutz, C. C. July 25. Delivering molten metal; blowing; cutting off excess of metal-The invention relates to a machine for manufacturing glass hollow-ware and particularly to means for automatically delivering the molten metal from the furnace to the blank moulds. A ladle 9 mounted on a rod 10 is projected into the furnace 2, as shown in dotted lines, and withdrawn full of molten metal until it is beneath the parison mould 77. A bowl 19 is then raised and lifts the ladle 9 till the parison mould dips into the molten metal. The bowl 19 fits the bottom of the parison mould 77 accurately, so that when compressed air is admitted to the former, the molten metal is forced up out of the ladle into the parison mould. The bowl 19 and ladle 9 are next lowered, and the excess of metal is cut off from the parison mould by a sliding knife. The blank is then pierced by a plunger 108, which is cooled by fluid entering by a pipe 111 and blown in a finishing - mould as usual. The bottom mould is arranged to tilt when the article is finished and discharge it from the machine. The ladle 9 is inverted and returned to the furnace, jets 51 of water being arranged to impinge upon it and crack off any adhering glass. In a modification, a single ladle 9 is employed to supply a number of moulding and blowing mechanisms placed in line behind one another. The several mechanisms are controlled by cams mounted upon a common shaft.

Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 19,100. Alexander, A. E., [Williams, W. A., and Olford, F.]. Aug. 25. Indicators for position of engine valve-gear.- Lamps or other electric signals are employed to indicate to the officer in charge of a vessel the direction and speed of the main engine. Fig. 1 shows the system diagrammatically. The way shaft controls a switch arm d, which rests' on the segment f or g according as the engine gear is set for ahead or astern movement. A centrifugal governor device, driven from the propeller shaft by belt gearing, controls the switch arm h, which rests on the dead contact i when the engines are at rest, and moves over the contacts j, k, l, m, n as the speed increases. By this means circuits are closed through the " ahead " or " astern " lamps b<1>, b and through the "full," "half," or "slow" lamps c, c<1>, c<2>, or through two of them in parallel to indicate " full half " and "half slow." Fig. 7 shows the construction of the governor-driven switch. The switch lever has two contact-making blades h' pivoted therein with a spring h<11> between them, so that on leaving one contact the forward blade leaps sharply to the next, and thus avoids burning.

Title: An Improved Fluid Actuated Reciprocating Engine.
Inventor: MARTENS CARL
Filed: 1911-08-28
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 19,259. Martens, C. Aug. 28. Central-valve engines.-Relates to a centralvalve engine provided with means for altering the length of the stroke, for preventing stopping at the end of the stroke, and for converting it from a double-acting into a single-acting engine. In the arrangement shown, the valve 14 is provided with inlet ports 15<1>, 15<11> in communication with a central inlet passage 17 and an exhaust cavity 16, which communicates by ducts 18 with the exhaust end of the slide-valve. The piston-rod has ports 21<1>, 21<11>, which are alternately put into communication with the inlet and exhaust. Bolts 22 secured to the cylinder cover carry a cross-head 23, which embraces the valve-spindle 20 and engages stops 24, 25 thereon. The valve movement and length of stroke are varied by altering the position of the stops 24, 25 or the thickness of the head 23. Weak springs or pneumatic buffers may be provided between the head 23 and the stops. A stuffing- box 26 is provided to regulate the friction between the piston-rod and the spindle 20. During the reciprocations of the piston the valve is retarded at the end of the strokes by the stops 24, 25, which engage the cross-head 23. In a modification of this arrangement, stoppage at the end of the stroke is prevented by giving the valve an accelerated motion. In this case an adjustable collar on the valve-spindle engages one end of a lever pivoted upon the piston-rod, the other end of which engages stationary adjustable spring stops. Separate inlet and exhaust ports are also provided in the pistonrod, and the exhaust passes directly to the cavity in the piston-rod from one end of the stroke, and through the valve and a port arranged at the back end of the valve from the other end of the cylinder. One end of the cylinder may be thrown out of action by plugging up the corresponding inlet port -in the valve, and putting the cylinder end into communication with the atmosphere by a cock.

Abstract: 28,297. Sachsenr÷der, G. Dec. 15. Parchment paper; boards and compound paper.-In connexion with the manufacture of buttons from thick parchment paper, it is stated that a paper web of the necessary thickness cannot successfully be converted into vegetable parchment, while layers of finished parchment united by pressure are liable to separate when moistened. The process employed consists in passing a number of webs of paper through a suitable parchmentizing-bath, and, when they are thoroughly impregnated, passing them through press rolls. The material then forms a homogeneous mass which is washed and dried. The buttons, which can be dyed and polished, are stamped into forms such as are shown in Figs. 2 and 4; in the latter case the parchment a is covered with fabric b. Specifications 1008/77, [Class 142, Weaving &c.], and 576/80 are referred to.
