Title: An Improved Device for Protecting Domestic Water Service Pipes and the like from Drawing in Dirty Liquids.
Inventor: STICKDORN ROBERT
Filed: 1908-10-29
Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 23,050. Stickdorn, R. Oct. 29. Air-escape valves; lift valves; ball and float valves.-Comprises a construction and arrangement of valves for a venting-device used on water service pipes. The casing of the drawing-off tap is in two parts 1, 3, and connected with it is a pipe 9 carrying a valve casing 10, which has an inlet 8 open to the atmosphere and covered by a hood to prevent the entrance of dirt. As water enters the pipes 6, 9, and casing 10, the valve 13 is kept on its seat 4 by the column of liquid above it and air passes out freely through the opening 8 until the water is sufficiently high to raise the ball valve 2 on to its seat 5. Below the valve 2, which has guide-ribs and feet 12, is a valve 15, which is pressed against the seat 19 as the water flows in ; consequently water and air can only pass slowly through the opening 14. This reduction is effected so that the valve 2 may not be prematurely forced on to its seat by the rush of fluid. When the valve 2 is closed, the valve 15 descends, and the valve 13 is then forced off its seat and remains so as long as the supply is not interrupted. If the supply is cut off, the pipe 6 is emptied of water, the valve 13 closes, and the valves 2, 15 open and admit air freely.

Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 14,794. Veulle, F. H. de. June 24. Brake mechanism. - In a Bowden - wire or similar mechanism a number of concentric transmitters contained in a single casing are employed. In control mechanism for the carburettors of internal - combustion engines, two transmitters are used, one of which may be a wire A contained in a tubular transmitter L, which is enclosed in the outer stationary casing M. The wire A is attached to a sliding block B mounted in a casing C. A groove D in the block B is engaged by a peg E carried by the boss F2 of a control lever F. The block B is formed with an internal screw-thread G, which is engaged by ears J2 on a second sliding block J to which the transmitter L is attached. A peg K on the block J projects through a slot C2 in the body C and is engaged by a screw-thread N2 in a control lever N. When the lever N is rotated, the block J is moved to the right, carrying with it the block B and operating both transmitters simultaneously. Thus in the case of handle-bar control mechanism for motor-cycle carburettors, the throttle valve and the air valve can be operated together, or the latter may be operated separately through the wire A by the lever F. When this lever is rotated, the peg E, which passes through a slot in the body C, carries round the block B, thereby causing it to move axially along the block J by means of the screwthread G. The casing C may be secured in any convenient manner, as by the clip 0, and the caps P which form the ends of the casing may also act as abutments for the levers F, N.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Ball-valves for use with Vacuum Brake Cylinders.
IPC: B60T13/46
Filed: 1909-09-09
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 20,660. Consolidated Brake and Engineering Co., and Luard, E. S. Sept. 9. Fluid-pressure.-Relates to vacuum-brake apparatus of the type having supplementary valves which are operated automatically by the admission of air to the train-pipe to cut off communication between the train-pipe and the upper part of the brake cylinder, in order to prevent any air which may leak past the ball valves from entering the upper part of the cylinder. Fig. 1 shows one form of valve, in which the train-pipe c communicates with the lower part of the cylinder by passages c<1>, b<2>, and with the upper part by a passage b<1>, a ball valve d, and a supplementary valve e<1>. This latter valve is held open, when the brakes are off, by the engagement of its stem e<8> with the brake-cylinder piston, but is closed by a spring f when the piston is moved to apply the brakes. Fig. 3 shows another form, in which the valve casing is fixed to the inside of the piston A, and has passages h, g communicating respectively with the upper and lower sides of the piston. The stem of the valve e<1> engages the bottom of the cylinder B. In a modification of this form, the valve e<1> is arranged above the passage h and hinged at one side, so that the pressure in the train-pipe assists to close the valve. In another form, Fig. 5, the valve e<1> is connected to a diaphragm k and formed with a hole e<3>. When the train-pipe is evacuated, the excess pressure in the upper part of the cylinder raises the valve e<1> and exhausts through the passage g ; when air is admitted to the train-pipe, such air passes through the hole e<3> and, assisted by gravity and the elasticity of the diaphragm, closes the valve e<1>.
