Patent GB-191305613-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Valves for Pneumatic Hammers, Pneumatic Hammer Drills, Percussive Drills, Direct Acting Pumps and Engines.
Inventor: DAW ALBERT WILLIAMS
IPC: B25D9/14
Filed: 1913-03-06
Granted: 1914-01-08
Abstract: 19135613. Daw, A. W., and Daw, Z. W. March 6. Percussive hand tools.-In a valve arrangement for rock drills, pneumatic tools, steam pumps, and engines, the motive fluid is constantly admitted through a port 7 in the valve cylinder to a single recess 8 in a piston valve, and the exhaust passes from the ends of the valve cylinder through ports 11, 12 controlled by the ends of the valve. The valve is reversed by fluid pressure through passages 16, 17 opened during the travel of the main piston; each of the passages 16, 17 may lead to a pair of ports in the main cylinder, one port of one pair being open to pressure while one of the other pair is open to exhaust through a recess in the main piston and one of two openings in the main cylinder. In one case, the passage 17 leading to the front end of the main cylinder is shortened and continued by a groove in the front of the main piston. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1 each of the main cylinder induction passages 9, 10, which end at opposite sides of the inlet 7, leads to a pair of ports, one of one pair being open to the admission recess 8 while one of the other pair is open for exhaust, the other ports being closed by the ends of the valve. The ends of the valve cylinder are always open to exhaust through small end ports 14, 15. In a modification, the ports of the induction passages serving for exhaust may be omitted, the passages 16, 17 being made large enough for main exhaust. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the valve 4 is a sleeve working between the main cylinder and the valve cylinder 5, and one of the induction passages is formed by enlarging the bore of the main cylinder at one end, the corresponding pair of ports being in the main cylinder instead of the valve cylinder, and the admission port of this pair opening to the recess 8 through a hole 70 in the valve. The valve may be locked in position after reversal by forming it with cylinders working on pistons formed on the valve cylinder covers or formed on a bolt passing through the valve cylinder, or by forming it with pistons working in cylinders formed on the valve cylinder covers, suitable ports and passages being provided to put one of the locking-cylinders open to pressure when the other is open to exhaust.

Abstract: 9156. Forbes, Sir C. S. April 18. Plug cocks.-In an internal-combustion engine, a rotary inlet or exhaust valve a, having open ends and a port b extending through the whole length of the valve so as to make it resilient, is connected to the driving-boss c by a radial web d at one edge of the port. The valve is made slightly larger than the casing, and is sprung into place. In order to allow freedom for the valve to adjust itself in the casing, a rectangular hole h in the boss c receives a squared portion f of the valve spindle. Several valves may be mounted on the same spindle, and the squared portions f of the spindle may be formed on separate sleeves adjustable for altering the angular positions of the valves.

Abstract: 389. Siemens Schuckertwerke. May 10, 1913, [Convention date]. Protective arrangements. - Subsidiary circuits, such as instrument transformer circuits, which absorb comparatively little power but which are connected to sources of large output, are protected by inserting one or more resistances in series with a fuse, the resistances being of such value as to absorb no appreciable portion of the energy transmitted over the circuit under normal working conditions, but adapted to prevent the current from attaining inconveniently large dimensions in case of a short circuit. The resistances c may be mounted on the fuse-holder a, or they may be mounted on the insulators that carry the fuse holder, or the leads from the bus-bars may be wires of high resistance. In another form, the resistances comprise rods of high resistance material.

The web W, Fig. 1, on each deck of the press, passes from either of the rolls 125 round the tensioning and feeding rolls 126, 128, 134, 136 and a guide-roll 137 through the perfecting couples 170, 172, round guide-rolls 173, 515, and roll 516 on which it is slit longitudinally, the two halves of the web passing, one directly, and the other over turning bars 511, to rolls 517, round compensating-rolls 518 and over a drag-roll 519 on which the halves of the web are associated and again slit, the webs thence passing to forming-rolls 562 and cutting-cylinder 561 to the delivery. A guide-roll 171 arranged between the roll 137 and the first couple, and the roll 173 deflect the web slightly away from the printing-cylinders. The rolls 137, 173 are driven positively from the adjacent printing-cylinders. To prevent a broken web from adhering to the printing-cylinder, stripper fingers 405, Fig. 3, carried, preferably adjustably, by a blade 404 engage in the circumferential recesses between the printing- plates.

Abstract: 19,196. Entwistle, W. S. Aug. 28. Two-stroke-cycle engines.-The engine is of the kind in which a working cylinder A and a pump cylinder Bare placed at an angle, the underside of both pistons C, D compressing the charge in the crank case, and both pistons being connected to the same crank-pin G. The invention consists in providing, instead of the usual transfer passage, a chamber H approximately equal in volume to the volume swept out by the working piston in a stroke, and in providing an air-inlet valve J at the top of this. chamber. The charge enters the crank case by the port K and enters the working cylinder through the port M. The burnt gases are exhausted at L. The column of air compressed in the chamber H enters the cylinder in front of the charge, thus scavenging and cooling the cylinder. In a modification, the initial compression does not take place in the crank chamber, but in the chambers on the underside of both pistons, and these would be in communication with each other and with the transfer chamber.
