Patent GB-189923629-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pressure Regulators or Governing Devices.
Inventor: SHILLITO THOMAS RICHARD
Filed: 1899-11-27
Granted: 1900-04-07
Abstract: 23,629. Shillito, T. R., [" Ph÷nix" Maschinenbaugesellschaft]. Nov. 27. Regulators and governors.-A pressure regulating or governing device of the kind described in Specification No. 4365, A.D. 1897, is shown in Fig. 1. The device can be used for regulating compressed-air valves or the like. A piston valve b is exposed underneath to a fluctuating pressure, and on the top to the pressure of a spring i or other constant pressure. As the pressure under the valve varies, the valve rises and falls, and so admits steam or other fluid pressure through the passages d, f under the piston h, or allows it to exhaust through the passages g, e. The piston is connected to the valve or other device which is to be regulated.

Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Regulating the Density of Liquids.
Inventor: DOMERGUE PAUL EUGENE
Filed: 1901-03-06
Granted: 1901-05-18
Abstract: 4780. Domergrue, P. E. March 6. Purifying saccharine liquids and syrups.-Relates to an appliance by which the density of a liquid may be.maintained constant. It is particularly designed for use with electric batteries in order to keep the density of the electrolyte constant, but it may also be employed wherever it is desired to maintain or collect a liquid at a constant density, as for example in sugar works. The liquid e, Fig. 1, the density of which is to be kept constant, is put in communication through a pipe b with a receiver a (shown separately in Fig. 4), in which is a bell. valve g, the weight of which is so arranged that it rises when the density of the liquid exceeds a determined amount and thus puts the vessel a in communication with the tank f containing a supply of water or of the same liquid e but of a much lower density, and an interchange of liquid takes place until the density of that in a falls to that necessary to allow the valve g to become closed. The tube c may be continued nearly to the bottom of the tank f so as to discharge the heavy liquid at the bottom, and it may be provided about midway of its length with holes for the admission of the lighter liquid. The tank f is replenished as required.

Abstract: 21,811. Darling, J. Oct. 30. Couplings, automatic.-Relates to improvements in the coupling-apparatus described in Specifications No. 9378, A.D. 1899, No. 10,946, A.D. 1900, and No. 7208, A.D. 1901, and consists chiefly in substituting a spring hook V for the coupling-pin referred to in these Specifications. The coupling- link F is pivoted to the bracket D by the pin C, to which is rigidly attached the hook V having a notch v for receiving the arm r of the tumbler R. On bringing two vehicles together, the link F of one vehicle strikes and releases the tumbler R of the other vehicle, and is engaged by the hook V. The apparatus for placing the hook V in the position for coupling is similar to that described in Specification No. 7208, A.D. 1901. A pin c<1> on the pin C engages a slot w in a collar W connected to the coupling-link F, and by turning the pin C by means of the shaft G and its connections the link F is brought to the front of the headstock ready for coupling with the hook of an adjacent vehicle. A projection X on the pin C engages a pin Y on, and releases, the tumbler R when necessary. In a modification, the pin C has a vertical feather for engaging a keyway in the leaves or pivoted portion of the coupling-link.

Title: Mechanism for Measuring the Flow of Fluids applicable also for use as a Ship's Log.
Inventor: GALOPIN HENRI
Filed: 1902-06-02
Granted: 1902-08-07
Abstract: 12,513. Galopin, H. June 2. Liquid meters.-Relates to means for measuring the flow of liquids, the apparatus being adapted for use as a ship's log. Mounted in a framework 2 is a spindle 14, on which is secured a worm 15 and a disc 20 having a chamfered edge. The spindle can move vertically as well as rotate, friction being reduced as much as possible. The worm 15 gears with a pinion 16 secured to an axle carrying a pointer 18, which moves over the face of a figured disc 21. A disc 5, which is operated by clockwork mechanism to make one revolution each hour, is provided with pins 6, say six in number, arranged on the face, and a corresponding number of spring blades 7 arranged on the periphery. One or more tubes or rods 8, secured to a disc 9, descend into the fluid, the deflection of the rods due to the velocity and depth of the fluid serving as a measure of the volume of fluid passing. The rod or rods may be provided with vanes. A rod 12, eccentrically pivoted to the disc 9, carries a cam 13 interposed between the pins 6 and the end of the spindle 14. As a pin 6 passes below the cam 13, the spindle 14 is raised and the pinion 16 is rotated an amount corresponding to the rise of the spindle. The position of the rods 8 determines the position of the cam 13, and consequently the rise of the spindle. The spindle which is left suspended is rotated to return it to its original position, by the engagement of a blade 7 with the disc 20. A subsidiary pointer moving over a dial 21 may be operated at each revolution of the pointer 18 by means of suitable gearing. In the arrangement described, the pointer is moved to record the fluid passing once every ten minutes, but the parts may be arranged so that more frequent movements are obtained. The dial 21 has to be calibrated. The apparatus may also be used as a ship's log, the dial being suitably calibrated.

The vapour escapes beneath the flame spreader 4, which is supported slightly above the plug 2 by extensions on the tube 1, and the flange 19 on the tube is secured by screws 5 to a flange 20 on the support 7. In the incandescent lamp shown in Fig. 3, the nozzles 8 of the several burners are connected by flexible tubes 15 with a common reservoir 12, which may be raised or lowered to control the oil supply.

Abstract: 13,605. Warnecke, C. G., and Heath, W. H. June 16. Cameras; roller slides. - Relates to a camera with a roller slide in which the two rollers are in a compartment on the same side of the camera, and the film to be exposed is pressed down in the form of a loop by a lazy-tongs device. A loop of the film, drawn from both spools 2, 2, is passed round the U -shaped piece 26, mounted on the end of the lazy-tongs 9. When the lazy-tongs is extended, prickers pass through holes in the piece 26 into the film, and prevent slipping. Fig. 1 shows the film extended ready for exposure. After exposure, the lazy-tongs is contracted, and the exposed film is wound on the receiving-spool 2. Ratchet pawls 4, which may be disengaged by pressing the button 5, ensure that the spools 2 rotate in the right direction. A focussing-screen, or a dark slide with a plate, may be inserted by opening the door 38. The focussing-screen 22, when not in use, is placed at the back of the lazy-tongs. The Provisional Specification states that the film may be unwound by moving the receptacle.
