Title: Improvement in Flush Valves.
Inventor: SLOAN WILLIAM ELVIS
IPC: E03D3/06
Filed: 1910-03-05
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 5578. Sloan, W. E. March 5. Valves closing after predetermined interval.- Relates to flush valves which close after a predetermined interval of time, independently of the release of the operating-mechanism. The casing contains a cylinder 4 which forms the seat of the main valve 5 carried by a diaphragm 6. A cover 7 forms a chamber 9 above the diaphragm, this chamber being connected. through a passage 10 with the inlet 2. An auxiliary tilting valve 21 closes a passage through the main valve 5, and is operated by a push 29 which engages with a sleeve 25 slidable on the spindle 24. Normally, the water pressure in the chamber 9 keeps the valve 5 closed. When the valve 21 is tilted on its seat by the spindle 29 and handle 26, the water in the chamber 9 escapes through the passage in the main valve which is then opened by the water pressure under the diaphragm 6. As the main valve 5 opens, it carries with it the valve 21 and its spindles 24, 25. When the sleeve 25 has been raised above the rod 29, it resumes the perpendicular position and the valve 21 closes. Water then entering the chamber 9 causes both valves 21, 5 to close upon their seats. Secured to the valve 5 above the diaphragm is a piston 31 which checks the flow of water from the annular space 41 and so avoids rapid movement of and damage to the diaphragm. The orifice of the passage 10 is restricted to prevent the entrance of particles carried in the water. The diaphragm is held in position by pins and is reinforced by a metal ring 36. The valve 5 is so shaped at 14 as to cut off the water gradually, and so avoid shocks.

Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 16,671. Woosnam, A., [Aktieselskabet Kvaerner Brug]. July 20. Pulping-engines.-In a machine for refining paper pulp of the type having stationary and revolving grinding-stones, the grinding pressure is automatically regulated in accordance with the amount of pulp passing through the outlet of the machine. The outlet 7, which communicates with the space 8 surrounding the stones mounted in a casing 5, has an adjustable weight or spring controlled valve 9 connected by a link 31 and levers 33, 32 with a pressureregulating valve 11 inserted in a fluid-pressure conduit 34, 35 leading to an annular cylinder 12 in the casing 5. A safety-valve 36 is arranged in the conduit 35, and the cylinder 12 has an adjustable outlet opening through which leakage water may continuously escape. The stationary stone 2 is secured in an annular piston 13 arranged in the cylinder 12 so that the position of the stone 2 in relation to the revolving stone 3 is controlled by the fluid pressure in the cylinder 12, which pressure is controlled by the position of the valve 9 in the outlet 7. The position of the stone 2 relative to the stone 3 is adjusted against the fluid pressure in the cylinder 12 by turning a hand-wheel 28 fixed to a nut 17 on a screw 16 projecting from the centre of the cover 15, the boss on the wheel 28 bearing against a sleeve 20 loose on the nut 17 and connected by three sets of links and levers 21, 24, 22 to three guide-rods 25 fixed to the rear of the piston 13 and passing through stuffing-boxes in the rear of the cylinder 12. The levers 22 are pivoted to sleeves 26 adustably fixed on the rods 25 by lock-nuts. If hard particles should get between the grinding-surfaces, the stones can move away, against the fluid pressure in the cylinder 12, through a distance corresponding to the space between the end of the sleeve 20 and a collar 29 on the nut 17. The stones 1, 2 are mounted in removable cast-iron rings 30 fitting into the casing 5 and piston 13.

Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 20,100. Sayer, R. C. Sept. 11. Trolly heads and the like; controlling-arrangements for collectors.-Relates to a collector, of the type having a number of collecting-wheels engaging two conductors, which is controlled from the vehicles through a flexible conducting- cable, and consists in a construction having arrangements whereby the collectors can pass each other whilst travelling on the same conconductors, and in means for controlling the collectors. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation, partly in section, of a collector, and Fig. 3 a plan of two collectors passing each other. Fig. 8 shows the gear mounted on the vehicles for controlling the collectors. The collectors carry spring-pressed wheels g, which run on tracks c or d and flanged collecting-wheels t mounted on arms r spring-controlled so as to press the wheels against the supply and return conductors a, b. Each collector also pivotally carries a curved bridge-plate p normally held by springs in a raised position, but which can be depressed so as to form a path for another collector travelling on the same conductors. The bridgeplate is formed with inclined ends o to facilitate the passage of the wheels g from the tracks c or d. The wheels t are mounted in a frame s, which carries a curved spring u to facilitate the passage of the wheel past the conductor supports f or another collector on the opposite side of the conductor, and a spring v with curved ends x to enable the wheel t to pass round the frame s of another collector wheel. The spindle of the lower wheel g is connected to the end of a lever 18, the other end of which is connected by a cord 20, passing over a pulley 21, to the lower arm r. By this arrangement, the lower collector arm is drawn away from its conductor b, as shown in Fig. 3, when the collector passes round the bridge-plate of another collector and thus enables the flexible controlling-cable of the inner collector to pass without becoming entangled. The bridge-plate p is depressed by a pull on a cable 5, enclosing the conductors 26, 27, the lower end of which is wound on the spring drum 28 on the vehicle. The drum 28 can be moved transversely to the vehicle on the ways 30; the electrical continuity being obtained by the engagement of wheels 42 on the drum with conductors 41 laid in grooves in the ways. The drum is traversed by an endless cord 43 passing over pulleys 44 and connected to a frame 47. Four collectors are shown in Fig. 8 passing on the same set of conductors a, b.

Abstract: 22,650. Saver Clutch Co., Drake, A. J., and Hewitt, J. M. Oct. 14. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing; clutches, friction.-Epicyclic change-speed gearing is combined with flexible - band clutches which are operated in succession by plungers so as to bring into action a low speed and a higher speed progressively. In Figs. 7 and 8, a form is shown suitable for motor-vehicles and boats. A casing A upon the driving-shaft carries two bands B, B<1>, the free ends of which are adapted to be tightened upon loose drums D, D' by springs K acting through toggles C, C<1>. The toggle links C' have balancing-parts C<4>, which carry bowls C<2> adapted to be engaged by plungers I, I<1> to disengage the bands. The drum D carries pairs of planet-gears G, G<2> meshing respectively with a pinion F upon the driven shaft E and with a pinion D<2> secured to the boss of the drum D<1>. A sleeve D<3> extending from the drum D is engaged by a detent J, which keeps the drum D from turning backwards. When a sleeve H which carries the plungers I, I<1> is in its extreme position on the left of Fig. 8, the bands B, B<1> are both disengaged, and the casing A turns idly. When the sleeve H is moved to the right, the plunger I<1> comes out of action, and the band B<1> grips the drum D'. The detent J comes into action and the epicyclic train operates to drive the shaft E at a relatively low speed. Further movement of the sleeve H withdraws the plunger I also and causes the band B also to grip. The gearing then turns solid, yielding the high speed. In a modified arrangement, a threeelement gear train is combined with band clutches operated as described in Specification 834/11.
