Patent GB-190011351-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hydraulic and other Working Valves.
Inventor: MARKS GEORGE CROYDON
Filed: 1900-06-22
Granted: 1901-06-22
Abstract: 11,351. Marks, G. C., [Brindley, H. S. B.]. June 22. Working valves.-Controlling-valves for hydraulic machinery and for other purposes are shown in the Figures. As adapted for controlling the pressure water of a hydraulic machine, the casing A, Fig. 1, contains a hollow plug E, which fits on an adjustable seat G, and which is surrounded by a second tubular valve F, which is seated on a projecting rim F<1> inside the casing. An externally-screwed non- rotating collar H surrounds the upper part of the valve E, and is actuated by a screwed, boss of a rocking handle J. Motion in one direction raises the valve E, and pressure water passes from the supply pipe B to the machine inlet C. The reverse motion closes the valve E and opens the valve F, which controls the passage leading to the exhaust D. In a modification, the supply pipe is connected to the lower end of the casing. In another modification, the valves are arranged in separate chambers, and this form may be used as pilot valves for main valves such as are described in Specification No. 23,822, A.D. 1898. The main supply valve N, Fig. 10, is controlled by a pilot valve e, and the main exhaust valve has a similar pilot valve. Tappets P on the pilot valve are actuated by a cam on the axis Q of the operating lever. In the modification shown in Fig. 14 the valve E has a central passage, by which pressure water from the passage B is admitted to the upper end of the valve. The tubular valve F is non.rotatable, and acts as a nut for the screwed spindle H which also actuates the valve E. The outer valve may be made the pressure-controlling valve.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Lubricators.
Inventor: THATCHER CHARLES
Filed: 1901-01-28
Granted: 1901-09-07
Abstract: 1880. Thatcher, C., and Renshaw, J. Jan. 28. Lubricators.-Relates to a lubricator of the type in which the lubricant is expelled by the movement of a piston, and consists of means for operating the piston when the lubricator is mounted on a crank-pin, crosshead, or other moving part. The lubricator consists of a cup A, Fig. 1, from which the lubricant is expelled by means of a piston attached to a screwed rod B, working within a nut formed by the worm-wheel C, which gears with a worm. On the shaft of the worm is secured a ratchet-wheel E engaged by a pawl G secured to a swinging lever H, which may be provided with a weight or bob J. The movement of the crank-pin &c. causes relative movement between the lever H and the lubricator, whereby the worm is rotated to operate the piston. The lever works between stops K, K<1>, the stop K<1> being adjustably secured to a slotted arm L. The stops may consist of studs upon which rubber washers are mounted. A lever e engages a groove in the rod B to prevent rotation during the feed, and may be disengaged so that the piston can be withdrawn when required. When a liquid lubricant is to be supplied, a valve b, Fig. 3, controlled by a spring c, is placed at the outlet, and is opened by the internal pressure when the piston is fed forward. Fig. 6 shows the lubricator mounted on the end of a connecting-rod R for lubricating the crank-pin S.

Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Separating Oil and Grease from Exhaust Steam, Applicable also as a Steam Dryer.
Inventor: FLETCHER CHARLES
Filed: 1901-07-27
Granted: 1902-07-24
Abstract: 15,225. Fletcher, C. July 27. Steam separators.-Relates to a method of and apparatus for separating oil and grease from exhaust steam, especially that passing from an engine to the condenser, and for drying live steam. The steam is divided into a number of streams by being passed through tubes, and, after being washed, is passed over a partition or partitions and divided into streams by a second nest of tubes. The apparatus, without a washing water-tank, is applicable for drying steam. In the grease separator shown in Fig. 1, the steam passes by the inlet B to the chamber N, down the tubes G<x>; G, and into the water chamber K, and finally passes over the partitions L and up the tubes H to the outlet C. The partition M separates the chambers N, O. The ends of the tubes G have saw cuts U, and may be detachably secured by set-screws to the tubes. The tubes H may be shorter than the tubes G, and there may be a greater number of them. Oil and grease pass to the drawing-off cavity S, and additional grease tubes T, T' are provided. When the apparatus is used as a steam drier, the tubes are of one length, equal in number, and none dip into water. For use with vertical steam pipes, the inlets and outlets are above and below, there are two tube-plates arranged within the casing, and for separators there are two partitions arranged between the two nests of tubes, and for steam driers no partitions.

Title: Machine for Preparing Materials for the Manufacture of Artificial Stone.
Inventor: SCHWARZ WILHELM
Filed: 1901-09-11
Granted: 1902-03-06
Abstract: 18,163. Schwarz, W. Sept. 11. Moving-stirrer apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for preparing and mixing the raw materials, more particularly lime and sand, employed in the manufacture of artificial stone. The sand is introduced through the dome c, provided with a cover b, into the casing a, which is partially surrounded by a steam jacket e. Steam is admitted to the jacket through the pipe f, and the condensed water is discharged through the pipe g. The chamber is connected to an exhausting-apparatus through the pipe d, and the unknown and variable quantity of moisture contained in the sand is driven off. Unslaked pulverized lime is then introduced into the chamber and mixed with the sand by means of the rotary agitators m, and an accurately determined quantity of moisture in the form of water or steam is introduced through the perforated pipes i. The materials are discharged through the aperture h. The pipe r serves to admit air and relieve the vacuum in the chamber. In an alternative method of working, the superfluous moisture in the sand is driven off by the heat produced by mixing unslaked lime with the wet sand. Exhaust is not always necessary in this case, a weighted valve being provided which is fully opened during the slaking of the lime.

Title: Improvements in Interlocking Apparatus for Railway Points and Signals.
Inventor: BUCK WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-06-05
Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 12,826. Buck, W. June 5. Interlocking ; rods for operating. - Relates to tappet apparatus for interlocking points and signals. Each tappet rod is coupled to a lever by means of a link D, Fig. 1, which is jointed at E to the lever, at F to a pivoted link B, and at G to the tappet rod, the parts being so proportioned that the rod receives a straight line motion. All the tappet rods J, K, L, Fig. 2, work within a single lock box V provided with channels M in which bars, fitted with locking-dogs to engage notches in the rods, slide. Releasing-notches are provided on each rod, and are adapted to be engaged by dogs d, u. These dogs are similar to the ordinary locking-dogs c, except that they are reversed. The travel of the rods is such that, at the end of the stroke, the notches y for receiving the ordinary dogs c stand about midway between the channels M. As shown, the travel of the tappet rods is 4¢ times the pitch of the channels M. By means of check locks the movement of any lever locks all the other levers. The check locks consist of a number of dogs h connected together by abutment pieces o. Upon moving a lever, the dogs are forced by the motion of the rod into engagement with the notches N in the other tappet rods. To obviate the effects of back-lash between the dogs, two or more dogs may be bridged by a bar secured at one end to a dog and coupled, by a pin-and-slot connection, to a dog at the other end. The spaces between these bars may in turn be bridged by other bars.
