Patent GB-191208198-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Pneumatically Driven Tools.
Inventor: JENKINS HAROLD CARNEGIE
IPC: B25D9/18
Filed: 1912-04-04
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 8198. Jenkins, H. C. April 4. Fluid-actuated gears.-Relates to drills and other tools wherein the distributing-valve works between two seats and is reversed by the compression and release occuring alternately at the respective ends of the cylinder, the valve being kept in its end positions by the pressure of the air supply. To reduce the consumption of air, the valve is provided with additional surfaces m<1>, m<2> upon which the fluid-pressure from the cylinder acts through passages g<1>, g<2> to move the valve initially to cut off the main supply prior to the opening of the main exhaust. The valve movement is completed by the compression and release in the usual way. The auxiliary chambers are provided with exhaust ports i<1>, i<2> situated at their inner ends, and their outer ends form cushioning chambers for the valve during its initial movement. The chambers are open to the main exhaust when the piston passes the ports h<1>, h<2>. The main valve is provided with an auxiliary exhaust recess, and the cylinder with auxiliary ports k<1>, k<2>, which are put into communication with the auxiliary outlet l. The valve may be divided in such manner that the middle portion is of larger diameter and the end portions d<1>, d<2> form separate parts. In a modification of this arrangement, the valve is provided with auxiliary chambers in its ends which slide over stationary pistons on the casing. A second modification is described in which there is only one supply port and one shoulder on the valve. The fluid passes to one end of the cylinder through ports in the valve. In this construetion, the valve receives an initial movement during one stroke only.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Detectors of Combustible Gases.

IPC: G01N27/16
Filed: 1911-12-05
Granted: 1913-03-05
Abstract: 3002. Philip, A., and Steele, L. J. Dec. 5,1911. [Cognate Applications, 4003/12 and 4004/12.] Explosive and combustible gases, detecting.-In a catalytic detector employing wires heated by an electric current, two active wires 20 and two inactive wires 21 may be arranged alternately in a wheatstone bridge to secure greater sensitiveness. To render the apparatus independent of variations in the voltage of the electric supply, and so enable the apparatus to take its current from an ordinary miner's lamp, a resistance 25, separate from but representing the resistance of the wheatstone bridge, is adapted to be bridged across the source of current 22 in series with an adjustable resistance 24 by means of a switch 26, and, in order to indicate the current flowing, the switch 26 is caused also to connect the galvanometer 19 across the resistance. A further resistance 27 is inserted in the galvanometer circuit, and this resistance has previously been adjusted so that the condition for standard current is represented by a deflection of fair magnitude on the galvanometer. The current through the galvanometer passes through one of the wires 20, but this current is small compared with that necessary to heat the catalytic wires to active temperature, so that the adjustment of the apparatus may be carried out in the atmosphere which is to be tested, and may be repeated after each test. In order further to eliminate the effect of variations in the supply current, the active and inactive wires may be so adjusted, as regards their length, cross-section, specific resistance, temperature coefficient, and emissivity, that within a small range a given change of voltage will produce the same percentage change of resistance in each. Catalytic material may be employed for all the wires, the inactive wires being produced by applying a metallic or other non-catalytic coating to the catalytic material. Or a pair of wires of catalytic material, preferably platinum and palladium respectively, may be employed, one of them being kept at a temperature below that at which it is active. The catalytic agent may be a coating upon a wire which is itself inactive. In order to present a large surface, the wires may be made by the alloy or squirting processes adapted for the production of incandescent filaments. Specifications 22,129/06, 5142/10, and 27,281/11 are referred to.
