Title: An Automatic Multi-way Valve, and a Switch for use therewith.
Inventor: ADERS MAX LEO CARL FRANZ
Filed: 1908-10-28
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 22,961. Aders, M. L. C. F. Oct. 28, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Signals, pneumatic and hydraulic. - Multiway valves, having a rotary or linear movement for controlling the supply of fluid to, and the extent of movement of, any apparatus, supply or exhaust fluid under pressure through any one of a number of pipes, the extent of the movement of the apparatus depending upon the pipe opened. A valve or switch for alternatively interchanging the connexions between the supply and discharge pipes is also described. In the form of rotary valve shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, a number of pipes 0 ... 9 enter the valve body a at different points, each pipe entering its own radial slot b. The other cover f is formed with two concentric circular grooves i, k, Fig. 3, the outer groove k being provided with a pipe d leading to the apparatus to be operated, and the inner groove having a pipe e leading to a locking-device or the like. The movable disk c, Fig. 2, is formed with a slot g, which coincides with the outer groove k in the cover f, the slot being interrupted at one place, where a hole h is provided, which coincides with the inner groove i in the cover. The disk c is connected to the apparatus to be operated so as to move to a corresponding extent. Springs tend to return the disk c to the normal position, in which case the hole h in the valve coincides with the pipe 0. When one of the pipes, for instance 3, is opened, fluid passes through the radial slot b corresponding thereto, the slot g in the valve, the outer groove k, and the piped, and thereby actuates the apparatus. As the apparatus moves, the disk.c moves to a corresponding extent until the hole h in the valve coincides with the pipe 3; movement then ceases, and the fluid flows through the hole h, inner groove i, and pipe e to a locking or other device. When the pipe 3 is closed, the apparatus and valve return to their original positions. The disk and apparatus may be connected by gearing of different speed-ratio. In modified forms, two pipes may be provided for conveying fluid to the motor so as to move the apparatus in either direction, and the disk may revolve idly when required. Several forms are shown in which the valves are in the form of flat plates having a linear movement, the pipes 0 ... 9 being arranged in a straight line. The action is similar in both the rotary and linear forms. The switch or valve for use with this multiway controlling-valve consists of a flat perforated slide which may be adjusted in either of two positions, so as, for instance, to connect the supply valves 0,1 with the discharge valves in the order 0, 1 or 1, 0.

Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Machinery for Lifts, Hoists, Cranes and the like.
Inventor: HAMMOND ERNEST NOEL
Filed: 1908-12-08
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 26,553. Hammond, E. N., and Champness, H. Dec. 8. Lifts; hoists ; cranes.-A lift or hoist cage, or a weighted crane hook, is connected by a rope to the piston of a vertical hydraulic cylinder, which piston is so weighted as to overbalance a light load but to be overbalanced by a heavy one, pressure water being required only to raise a heavy load or to lower a light one. The cylinder a, Fig. 1, is fitted with a piston e fixed on a rod b weighted at its lower end. The upper end of the piston-rod carries a sheave around which the cage rope b<2> passes. The balance weights c are sufficient to raise the cage d and a small load, but when the cage is fully loaded it descends by gravity. The working-valve comprises a pair of hollow cylindrical castings through which are passed hollow stems l, l<1>, Fig. 2, with suitable ports p, p<1>, q, q<1>. Sleeves fitted with cup-leathers form water-tight joints with the stems. The supply pipe is divided and fitted into two ports A, A' in the valve casing, the waste water passing out through a central port D. The ports B, C connect up to the upper and lower ends respectively of the cylinder a. With the valve stems l, l<1> in the position shown, the cage is held stationary. If it is desired either to raise a light cage or to lower a loaded one, the stem l<1> is raised so as to connect the ports B, C, thereby allowing water to pass freely from one end of the cylinder to the other, no water being drawn from the pressure main. To raise a loaded cage, the valve l<1 >is placed in the position shown, and the valve l is raised so as to allow pressure water to pass through the ports A, B to the upper end of the cylinder and the waste water to exhaust through the ports C, D. Similarly, to lower a light cage, the valve stem l is depressed.

Abstract: 6477. Lancashire Dynamo and Motor Co., and Stelling, A. R. March 18. Alternating-current induction machines; motors, controlling; brush holders.-In induction motors and the like having slip-rings provided with axially - movable short - circuiting devices, the operating apparatus also moves the brush-gear out of contact with the slip-rings on to adjacent non- rotating brush rests, or the movement of the brushes may make other changes in the connexions. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, in which the slip-rings D are carried outside the outer bearing, the brushes A, which may be of the box type described in Specification 1006/07, are carried on one or more bars B, and are adapted to be moved axially on to fixed rests C having cylindrical surfaces conterminous with those of the sliprings ; the rests are formed on a bracket, the foot of which is bolted to the cover K. The rotor leads e passing through the hollow shaft L are connected to the slip-rings and also to three insulated contact-blocks E carried by bars d connected to the slip-rings. A disk G having short - circuiting spring-like contacts F also rotates with the slip-rings and is movable axially along insulated guidespindles g by means articulated to the brush apparatus, for instance by a handle h, which imparts movement to the bars B by means of a slide H working inside the cover K. The contact blocks E may be between the sliprings and the rotor body. In a modification, the slip-rings are situated between an outer bearing and the rotor body, and the disk G is placed between the slip-rings and the rotor. Fig. 6 shows a modification of this arrangement, in which the bar B is slidable in a bracket b1, b5 carried by a split casting Q which encircles a cylindrical part of the bearing P1. The spring contacts F of the switch are carried on a disk G sliding on the hub l or a shaft L and rotating therewith by means of a feather g5. The disk moves the bar B by means of a pin b2 situated in a peripheral groove g4 therein. The disk is moved axially by means of a bow-lever s encircling it and having two pins s<1> taking into the groove g<4>; the lever s is also keyed to a shaft s<2>, which is rocked by a hand-wheel shaft v, the screw - threaded end of which passes through the jaw t of a lever T fixed to the shaft s2. The brush gear and the disk G may be fixed axially, and the slip-rings and contacts E may be movable. The invention is applicable to cases in which the slip-rings are adapted for changing the connexions, such as for induction motors having different pole windings with corresponding sets of slip-rings, the last set being short-circuited by means similar to that described above.
