Patent GB-191202090-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Stop Valves.
Inventor: COCKBURN DAVID
IPC: F16K31/143
Filed: 1912-01-26
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 2090. Cockburn, D., and MacNicoll, D. Jan. 26. Lift valves; actuating.-A stop-valve, which is adapted to be opened by direct pressure of the fluid on the valve member and closed by mechanical means comprising a screwed spindle, is so arranged that, on actuating the spindle to allow the valve to open, a pilot valve is operated so as to admit pressure to one side of a piston and thereby cushion the opening of the main valve. A second pilot valve is provided by means of which the main valve may be closed in an emergency. The valve member B closing the inlet port a is mounted on a spindle E having a handle N and sliding in a threaded screw I rotatable in a cross-head J by a wheel M. A piston G is mounted on the spindle E and works in a cylindrical chamber F, which communicates on the side remote from the valve B with the inlet a by means of a pipe j<1>, j<2>, j<3>, and on the other side is connected to the atmosphere by a pipe k. The passage j<1>, j<2>, j<3> is controlled by a valve k<1> mounted on the valve casing and having a stem m<2> passing through a lever t and carrying a nut s which is engaged by the lever. The lever is cranked, and has at one end a sloping surface x which is engaged by a collar T on the screw I when the wheel M is rotated, thus opening the valve k<1> and admitting fluid into the cylinder F. The piston G is fitted with leaky rings P so that the valve B is allowed to open slowly. In order to close the valve in an emergency, a valve k<2> in the pipe k is opened by hand by means of the lever t, which is raised so as to engage a nut s<1> on the valve stem. The pressure on the further side of the piston G is then unbalanced and the valve closes quickly.

Title: Improvements relating to Systems for Operating or Controlling Time Indicating Devices.
Inventor: ARON LEONARD JAMES
IPC: G04C13/04
Filed: 1911-09-28
Granted: 1912-09-30
Abstract: 7686. Aron, L. J. Sept. 28, 1911. Electric clocks.-Relates to a system of the kind described in Specification 12,660/11. According to the present invention, two master-clocks are employed to transmit impulses in turn, each of the clocks being provided with auxiliary contacts, normally inoperative, and so arranged that either clock can operate singly if the other clock breaks down. The system comprises clocks 1, 2 with rotating contact-arms 11, 12, contactsprings 8, 9 through which impulses are normally transmitted to the secondary clocks 20, 21, auxiliary contacts 7, 10, and a rocking member 13, which at each impulse is moved by means of one or other of two electro-magnets 14, 15 so as to bridge a pair of contacts 16, 17 or 18, 19. One rotating arm 11 is slightly ahead of the other arm 12, and the clocks are interlocked so that the arms rotate synchronously. The arrangement is such that when both clocks are in working order, the movement of the member 13 prevents the transmission of impulses through the contacts 7, 10, but if one clock fails, the member 13 remains at rest, and allows the auxiliary contact of the other clock to come into action.

Granted: 1913-11-10
Abstract: 18,450. Wallace, R. W., and Wassmer, E. Aug. 10. Magnesium and other metals, boron, silicon, and chlorides of sulphur, obtaining.-A nitride, for instance magnesium nitride, is divided into two parts, which are treated to obtain a sulphide and a chloride respectively, with concurrent production of ammonia. The metal sulphide and chloride are mixed and electrolyzed to obtain the metal and sulphur chlorides. The metal is converted into nitride for re-use. When an extraneous source of chloride is available it is only necessary to convert so much of the metal into nitride as will yield sulphide equivalent to the chloride used in the electrolysis. The Provisional Specification states also that magnesium is preferably used in the form of wool or powder or the metalliferous layer withdrawn from the electrolytic apparatus, the temperature of reaction being about 900‹ C. It is also stated that boron and silicon may be used.

Abstract: 25,899. Hervert, A., Hervert, B., and Jahn, O. Dec. 31, 1911, [Convention date]. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces; contact printing - frames, with pneumatic pressure devices.-For half-tone process work, a screen of thin glass is used and the grain is produced by spraying fine dots of varnish or Indian ink with an air brush. In order to enhance the solid effect, the finished picture may be similarly sprayed. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also an alternative method for making the screen, and a printing- frame. This method consists in spraying a plate and subsequently etching it. A screen thus produced is used for large size reproductions by enlarging a half-tone diapositive on to negative paper. In the printing - frame the sensitive stone 16 is housed on blocks 19, 20 and between blocks 17, 18. The lid comprises a frame 8 and two rings of rubber packing 5, 7, between which is a thin celluloid plate 6. The lid is clamped down on the packing-rim 4 of the frame 1 by the compound lever 10, 13 and catch 15. The celluloid sheet 6 presses the negative on to the stone 16, and the printing pressure is increased by exhausting air from the frame by the air-pump 23. The frame can be tilted on the supporting - pivot 2. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Devices for use in Regulating the Dampers of Steam Boilers.
Inventor: WASSMER AUGUSTE
Filed: 1913-10-21
Granted: 1915-06-24
Abstract: 23,829. Wassmer, A. Oct. 21. Draught, regulating. - Relates to apparatus for regulating the dampers of steam-boiler furnaces according to the boiler pressure, of the type in which a diaphragm acted upon by steam from the boiler controls the movements of a pressure - actuated piston connected to the damper. Steam from the boiler passes through a spring-loaded valve into a pressure chamber, from which it escapes by a small leakage opening, the diaphragm being connected to this chamber and subjected to the pressure variations in it. Condensation is avoided owing to the constant flow of steam through the chamber, and the apparatus is rendered more sensitive than those in which the full boiler pressure acts on the diaphragm. In the apparatus shown, steam from a pipe e connected to the boiler acts on a piston f, raising a valve i and flowing by way of the passages h past it into the pressure chamber 3. From this chamber, it escapes through openings k, n and central borings in the piston l and plunger m to the atmosphere. The diaphragm is connected to the pipe 4. The valve i is loaded by a regulable spring g which presses a block s on to the plunger m, and as the boiler pressure rises or falls, the valve is raised or lowered, so that the pressure in the chamber 3 varies accordingly, the outlet for the steam remaining of constant area. In order to prevent too great throttling of the steam at low pressures, with consequent condensation in the chamber 3, the piston-rod b of the hydraulic apparatus, which moves the damper and is controlled by the diaphragm, carries a projection 2 which, in the lowest position of the piston, moves a rod y and rotates a screwed collar t on the block s. This raises the block s slightly and allows the valve i to lift to the same extent free from the pressure of the spring.
