Title: Improvements in Portable Pneumatic Tools for Caulking and like Operations.
Inventor: DENTON WALTER
Filed: 1901-05-02
Granted: 1901-12-31
Abstract: 6758. Denton, W. May 2. Percussive hand tools.-The portable pneumatic tool is for caulking, riveting, dressing, &c. The tool shank U fits within the bush S, its shoulder bearing against an internal shoulder S<1> formed in the bush so as to be out of the way of the operator's fingers, which are thus not liable to be trapped. The piston D which strikes the tool has one series of ports and passages E which open into the hollow rear end of the piston, and another series F which open to the front. These passages alternately communicate with the annular groove R in the liner C. This groove is kept supplied with live air through the opening G and channel L in the casing A. The liner has exhaust ports H, which communicate with the space I in the casing. This space communicates with the external air by an opening J. The ports are arranged as shown to effect cushioning at each end of the stroke. The valve O admitting the live air is cylindrical and provided with an opening P and trigger Q. The trigger works in a slot in the handle, and is held in a notch at the end of the slot by the pressure of the air. The valve may be conical with a spring-controlled stem actuated by a thumb-lever.

Patent GB-190306798-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Water Closets
Inventor: WATROUS EARL G
Filed: 1903-03-24
Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 6798. Watrous, E. G. March 24. Closets.-The basin 1 of a closet for railway vehicles &c. is made in one with the flushing-rim 3 having jet openings 4, and with a chamber 5 which contains the discharge valve 12 and its actuating- mechanism. The seat of the valve consists of a flared flange 8 upon a metal liner 7 secured to the basin by a screwed washer 11. The valve is packed by a rubber washer 13 held in place by a nut 14, and is guided by lugs 19. It is operated by the lever 17, which is raised by a second lever 52, which in turn is raised by the rod 51 connected to the flush. ing-valve mechanism. The flushing-valve 38 is raised by a lever 48. Its descent is checked by a piston 42, which is provided with a time-passage 50 and is carried by a bollow stem 44 formed in one with the valve 38. A valve 46 on a stem 45 closes in the hollow stem 44. The stem 45 is connected to the head 47, which is acted upon by the lever 48. The first action of this lever is to raise the stem 45 and open the valve 46, allowing exit to the water above the piston 42. Immediately afterwards, the head 47 bears against the stem 44 and raises the valve 38 and the piston, water finding access to the space below the latter past a check valve 40. The same action of the lever 48 brings the lever 52 to bear beneath the roller 54 on the lever 17 and raise the latter. When the lever 48 is released, the parts return to their original position, the time being determined by the opening 50, which is capable of adjustment. When the lever 17 is in its highest position, the end of the lever 52 passes beneath the roller 54 and takes off much of the weight of the valve 12 from the rod 51. The casing of the valve is secured to a plate 26, which also covers in the levers 52, 17. The plate is formed in one with a trunk 27, which is secured to the basin by a cap-nut 30. The front of the plate 26 is secured by the seat hinge post. The chamber 5 is covered by a plate 20 secured by a three-armed clamp 22, the upper arm of which bears against the flushing-rim. The hole through the plate 20 for the stem 16 is partially closed by a loose plate 24, which allows sufficient water to pass to cleanse the chamber 5.
