Patent GB-190414840-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Steam Traps
Inventor: BRUN LEON LE
Filed: 1904-07-01
Granted: 1905-07-01
Abstract: 14,840. Le Brun, L. July 1. Steam traps.-A float, on attaining the limits of its permissible range, causes a sudden opening or closing of the valve by an intermediate system of d e t e n t s and weighted levers. The double-seated balanced valve 10, Fig. 1, supported by the rod 9 passes between the double rod 5, to which the stops 6, 7 are attached at the required positions. The rod 5 is jointed at 8 to the weighted lever 12, which is heavily loaded at 13, 14 and rocks on the spindle 11. The valve-rod 9 is attached to the lever 24, the end 21 of which is caught by one or other of the two detents 16, 18, placed on either side of the lever 12. To ensure an equal upward and downward thrust of the float, it is of special construction, being made of poplar wood and coated with a thin metallic covering, its specific gravity being thereby about 5. Water enters the chamber through the pipe 1 and the opening 2, the passage 3 serving to equalize the pressure. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the valve is open and water is escaping through the pipe 29. When the float reaches the stop 6, it causes the lever 12 to overbalance and take up the position shown in Fig. 2. The stud 15 strikes against the arm 16 and so releases the lever 24. The rod 9 falls, thus closing the valve, being further assisted by the stop 6 striking against the valve cover 30. Meanwhile, the stud on the further side of the lever 12 has acted upon the arm of the other detent, so bring- ing it into position to prevent the end 21 of the lever 24 from rising, and thus keeping the valve closed. When the level of the water rises, the float acts upon the stop 7, and the levers and detents act in the reverse order, the hook 17 finally resting under the end 21 of the lever 24 and thus keeping the valve open. In the modified arrangement (better adapted for smaller chambers) shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the end of the rod 5 is jointed to the levers 43, 44. The latter is connected with the bracket 34 and the former to the spring 38, the end of which can move horizontally but not vertically. The valve-rod 9 is supported at the junction of the two levers 46, 48, the former being jointed to the rod 5 at 42 and the latter to a spring similar to the spring 38. In the position shown, the valve is closed and remains so under the action of the springs until the lever 44 has been raised sufficiently. Then the rods assume the position indicated by the dotted lines and the valve is opened.

Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 15,291. Skelding, E., [trading as Novelty Rack Co.]. July 8. Billiards and like games; golf.-Relates to a modified form of the rack described in Specification No. 12,296, A.D. 1894, for holding billiard cues, golf clubs, &c. An underside plan of the rack is shown in Fig. 1. A plate A, which can be secured to a wall &c., has projections A<1>, between which umbrellas or other articles can be inserted. The edges of the plate have flanges a to afford a sufficient bearing-surface. Inserted articles are retained in position by turnstiles C, the arms of which engage with spring controlled levers D. The turnstiles and levers turn on studs formed integrally with the plate A, and are secured in position by washers and screws b<1>, c<1>, which screw into the studs. A bottom-plate to retain the parts in position is thus rendered unnecessary.

Granted: 1905-08-24
Abstract: 21,600. Ball, E. Oct. 8. Stools.-For adjusting the height of music stools and the like, a right and left handed screw f is -- employed. It may actuate toggles interposed between the seat and the supporting-frame, as shown in Fig. 1, or toggles connecting the upper ends of the crossed pivoted legs, as shown in Fig. 2 at c, or the screw itself may connect the upper ends of the crossed legs ; or the arrangement shown in Fig. 5 may be employed, in which the screw,f operates sliding rods p which, bearing upon the links o, varies their inclination so as to raise or lower the seat, the seat being guided vertically by rods q<1>. Instead of the toggles or links, cones may be moved by the screw so as to raise or lower the seat, the underside of which may be suitably curved. Rollers on the ends of the links or toggles and bearing-plates on the underside of the seat may be provided to lessen friction.

The bracket b has pivoted to it a guard-lever n adapted to retain the roller shaft in the slot o by means of a button-like projection p on the bracket or lever engaging with a hole in either the lever or bracket. A cord-guide may be provided if desired. The brackets are adapted for fixing either to the top or soffit of the window or to the face or stile, the lever attachment enabling the blind to be taken out at will.

Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 9376. Robinson, T. r. May 4. Gas and explosive-vapour engines, igniting in. In multiple-cylinder engines, the flame or hot gases from one cylinder which is nearing the end of its out - stroke is used to ignite the charge in another cylinder. This is effected by connecting all the cylinders by a common passage 17 with valves 18 ... 23. The sequence of the ignitions follows the numbers 1 ... 6. The engines may be readily converted into reversing engines. In the Provisional Specification, single rotary valves are described. By the invention, exposed flames or sparks are avoided. At starting, a sparking-plug 26 is employed.

Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 9581. Braby, H. May 6. Vapour and gas burners.-A vapour or gas burner for heating and lighting is provided with a nozzle 5 of the form shown, consisting of an outer part 8 into which is screwed a hollow, conical inner part 11 with helical outlet passages 10 to give a whirling motion to the issuing vapour or gas. A small fan 3 is supported by a rod 4 in front of these outlets, so as to be rotated by the vapour or gas and mix it with air. The oil may be vaporized in a coil 2, the supply of vapour being regulated by a valve 15. When crude oil is used, the heating-coil is dispensed with, and the oil is vaporized by steam supplied with it. The burner may be used to heat a refractory body to incandescence, and when the burner is used for lighting it is desirable to supply it with vapour at high pressure. According to the Provisional Specification, the oil may be vaporized in passages bored in, or a coil cast in, a metal plate. The burner may be used with a mixture of air and other lighting or heating gas.
