Title: Improvements in and relating to Method of and Apparatus for Carbonating Water or other Liquids.
Inventor: MURPHY EDWARD EMANUEL
Filed: 1899-05-09
Granted: 1899-06-10
Abstract: 9804. Murphy, E. E. May 9. AÙrating liquids. -Relates to apparatus for carbonating water and other liquids in which the operation of aÙration ceases when a certain quantity of liquid has accumulated and recommences when a portion of the liquid is drawn off. The liquid enters the apparatus through the pipe N<2>, and passes through a strainer L and spray-producer J and then meets the gas which enters by the pipe O<1> and spring valve O<2>. The liquid and gas become intermingled while passing through the layers G of wire cloth, and the aÙrated liquid is collected in the reservoir A, and can be drawn off through the pipe B'. The water is supplied at a somewhat higher pressure than the gas. When the apparatus is full of liquid up to the nozzle J, the valve O<2> is closed by the pressure of the aÙrated liquid, but when the aÙrated liquid is drawn off a rarefaction is produced in the upper part of the apparatus owing to the retardation which the incoming liquid experiences in its passage through the strainer L and nozzle J, and, consequently, the valve 0' is forced open, and a fresh quantity of gas is admitted. P is a valve for venting purposes.

Patent GB-189920806-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Fluid Pressure Brakes for Railway and similar Vehicles.
Inventor: SHORTT EDWARD G
Filed: 1899-10-17
Granted: 1900-01-13
Abstract: 20,806. Shortt, E. G. Oct. 17. Brakes.-Relates to valve mechanism for controlling and operating an air brake system in which train-pipe air is used for all service or graduation applications, and stored air is used for emergencies. Fig. 2 shows the valve mechanism in central vertical section, the operative parts being in the release position. The valve body communicates with the train - pipe 3 and the main reservoir through the engineer's valve, and with the brake cylinder 6 by the pipe 10 passing through the auxiliary reservoir 5 as shown in Fig. 1. During initial charging, the air at full pressure enters the valve body 23, and fills the space 97, the valve seat slot 41, the channels on the piston stem 20, and the hollow screw plug 72, and presses the piston 18 outwards until the release position is reached. The feedport 22 is then open, and air flows into the storage cap 11. The port 74 is also open, and the auxiliary reservoir charged. When all the parts are at train-pipe pressure, the running position is assumed. The slide and graduation valves 31 and 53 are similarly placed during the release and running positions. In passing to the service position, the piston 18 causes the lever 27, which projects through the slot 41 and engages with the slide-valve slot 49 and the graduating valve notch 54, to shift the graduation valve first and then the slide valve. Air then flows to the brake cylinder, and when the pressure in the storage cap 11 falls below the reduced train-pipe pressure the piston 18 adjusts itself, causing the lever 27 to close the graduation valve without disturbing the slide-valve. In the emergency position, the emergency valve 78 is opened so that the air in the valve body can escape by the outlet 71, and the emergency port 50 is brought into communication with the cylinder port 52, so that air flows from the auxiliary reservoir into the brake cylinder. The slide valve 31 and the seat are shown in Figs. 9 and 8 respectively. The valve is bored from end to end, and screws 55 are fitted at the ends.

Abstract: 10,174. Goodman, O. G., and Goodman, B. L. June 2. Making pins &c.- Safety pins, curtain pins, and the like are made from pointed lengths of wire and the caps are affixed in the machine of which Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 a plan. A vertical slide d<8>, working through the hopper x, lifts the pointed blanks one at a time up to the level of the spring grippers e, which carry them forward so that the unpointed end lies between a pair of bending dies f which bend that end down and hold the blank during the coiling. Another tool g is advanced to cut off or trim and further bend this end. These parts are respectively operated by the cams D, E, F, G, through bell-crank and other levers, and are returned by springs. The coiling- device h<1>, operated by a toothed segment h<17> and lever connection from the cam H<3>, coils the wire round the peg h<6>, which is then withdrawn from the coil by the lever h<7> and cam H<1> while the gripper i<16> takes hold of the formed pin. The coiling-device as a whole is mounted on a slide h<18>, which is drawn backwards by a cam H' to clear this gripper as it moves over to the capping-arrangement. This gripper consists f spring fingers i<16> to hold the pin and a spring-mounted cranked arm i<29> to bear on the coiled en when the end of the pin is being pushed into the cap. It is pivotally carried by a lever i worke from a cam I on the lower cam shaft C, and it moves over a fixed cam path so that the @ is brought opposite the capping-dies k and then moved between them by a cam I<1> acting on a slide i<3> on which the transfer mechanism is mounted. The capping mechanism consists of a fixed and a movable die operated by a cam K, and a cam M operates a slides which ejects the finished pin. The caps are fed one at a time into the dies by a slide n and cam N, being taken from a hopper &c. n<1>.

Title: Improvements in Means for Compensating Variations or Irregularities in the Speed of Gas or other Engines
Inventor: SCOTT WILLIAM
Filed: 1901-02-11
Granted: 1902-02-06
Abstract: 2936. Scott, W. Feb. 11. Tension arrangements.-For compensating for variations in speed or load in gas and other engines, the tension on the belt or rope gearing is automatically equalized. The belt passes from the driving-shaft b to the driven shaft e between two pulleys e, d, carried on a counterbalanced frame and mounted so as to move in a direction at rightangles to the belt. When the speed of an engine falls, the momentum of the machine or other engines in the system tends to drive it, causing the driving side of the belt to slacken, and then to become taut again as the engine receives a fresh impulse. This is prevented by the slack on the driving side of the belt being taken up through the frame by the tightening of the driven side. Several modifications of the invention are described.
