Granted: 1909-01-21
Abstract: 1903. Daglish, H. B. Jan. 28. Brakes.- In steam or other fluid - pressure brakes of the type in which the degree of brake pressure can be felt by the operator, and in which the operating means are returned to the normal position by a spring, the supply of power from its source to the brake is controlled by a single element, such as a valve, which is also acted upon by the power in a reverse direction to the pressure exerted upon it by the operator, so that an increasing resistance is felt by the operator as the brakes are applied. The device is shown applied to the brake of a winding-engine, in which the piston-rod 7 of the brake cylinder 5 is connected to the actuating-levers 8, and the valve 9 is operated by a pedal 17 through links 18 and side rods 19. The fluid is supplied by a pipe 12 to a port 11, Fig. 3, in the valve casing, which is connected to the brake cylinder at 13 and provided with an exhaust port 15. The valve 9 is formed with an annular port 16 and with ports 25 leading to the space below the valve. The rods 19, Fig. 2, are connected to a block 21, loose on a spindle 20, which is connected to the valve, and a spring 24 is placed between the block 21 and a disk 23 carried on a shoulder of the spindle. In operation, the pressure on the pedal 17 is transmitted through the links 18, 19 and the spring 24 to the valvespindle 20, which is depressed to connect the port 11 to the brake-cylinder port 13. The fluid also flows through the ports 25 and presses upwards on the valve, tending to uncover the exhaust port 15, so that the operator can feel the pressure in the brake cylinder. If the spring 24 becomes weak, the block 21 depresses the spindle 20 through a shoulder 26.
