Title: An Improved Pneumatic Tyre Valve.
Inventor: TOOTH FREDERICK GEORGE
IPC: F16K15/20
Filed: 1911-03-23
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 7230. Tooth, F. G. March 23. Tyre-inflating valves. -A combined inflating and relief valve for pneumatic tyres comprises a spring-controlled piston b and a spring - controlled valve k closing an axial passage through the piston. During inflation, the piston rises and air is pumped through the axial aperture in the piston, through lateral passages n and thence to the tyre. Excess pressure within the tyre forces the valve k down against the action of the spring l, which can be adjusted by screwing the sleeve m on the spindle h. An air-tight cap o may be screwed on the inflating-nipple c, thus putting the relief valve out of operation.

Abstract: 6481. Parsons, G. H. L. March 15. Feeding sheets; pile tables; sheet-separators. -Relates to sheet-feeding apparatus of the kind wherein the top sheet is fed off from a pile, which is kept at a constant level, by a travelling roller revolublein one direction only, removal of more than one sheet being prevented by knife - edges engaging the top of the pile. The pile of blanks is placed on a table 3 carried by a frame 4, which is elevated by a screw 6 as the blanks are fed off. The screw 6 passes through a nut 10, which is rotated by a pawl 11 on an arm 12 rocked by a telescopic rod 14, 15 from an arm 17 on the shaft 19. The amount of movement of the rod 14 into the tubular part 15 is determined by the position of the adjustable collar 18. The shaft 19 is rocked by an arm 25 fixed on a shaft 24<a> and engaging a roller 24 carried by a rod 22 adjustably secured on the arm 21 by a screw 23. The shaft 19 is returned by a spring 27 connected to an arm 26, which, by means of the link 30, operates the feed-roller 32. The feed-roller is prevented from turning on the forward stroke by a ratchet-wheel and pawl. A weight 33 on a pivoted arm 34 rests on the rear of the pile. At the sides of the pile are knife-edges 37 for holding all but the top sheet. The knife-edges are rounded at the lower end 37<a> and are adjustable in brackets 39 to and from the pile by screws 42, Fig. 3. Instead of the weight 33, a spring needle may be employed for retaining the rest of the pile. The separated sheet is drawn off the pile by rollers 46, and may be further conveyed forward by a pusher 50 on a shaft 51 rocked by a cam on the shaft 24<a>.

Abstract: 19,909. McCourt, C. D., and Radiant- Heating, Ltd., [Lucke, C. E., (partly)]. Aug. 31. [Cognate Application, 5005/13.] Oil gas.-A process of producing combustible gas from liquid fuel such as oil consists in decomposing the oil by highly heated inert gas brought directly into contact with the sprayed oil and preferably passing the mixed gases and vapours through a hot permeable bed of refractory material. An explosive gaseous mixture is supplied by a pipe 17 to the space 16 below a water-cooled grate 14, which supports a bed of refractory material 13. In this bed the gaseous mixture is completely burned, the velocity of the mixture through the bed being approximately that of the propagation of the flame, so that burning takes place at the surface of the bed. The hot combustion products are sprayed with oil from a pipe 32, and the resulting vapours and gases pass through a hot mass of refractory material 25, in which the oil vapours are cracked or gasified. The mixed gases pass away to a channel 26 and outlet pipe 28. In a modification, the second refractory mass may be dispensed with, and the oil sprayed on to the first refractory mass, which is increased in size, the combustible gases entering through a finely perforated refractory block. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 4, oil is supplied to the top of a bed of refractory material 42, to which air is admitted by a pipe 56 and gas and air by pipes 46, 45 respectively through a bundle of iron tubes 43. When the refractory material has been heated by burning the gas and air, the oil is admitted from a pipe 49 and the mixture of oil vapour and gases burned in a bed of refractory material 63 in a furnace 64, air for complete combustion being supplied through a pipe 60. The hot combustion products from the furnace are brought by a pipe 54 to a jacket 53 surrounding the refractory material 42 to heat this material, the supply of gaseous mixture through the tubes 43 being then reduced or cut off. The hot combustion products from the furnace may in a modification be passed through the refractory material. In another construction, the inert gases obtained by burning oil sprayed with air on to one refractory mass are passed through an oil spray and another refractory mass. Specification 29,430/09, [Class 51 (i), Furnaces &c., Combustion apparatus of], is referred to.
