Patent GB-190001961-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Lubricators.
Inventor: EDWARDS FRANK WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-01-31
Granted: 1900-09-15
Abstract: 1961. Edwards, F. W. Jan. 31. Lubricators, sight-feed, for locomotives and other steam engines. Steam from the boiler enters at U, and passes through the valve W to the condenser C. Condensed water passes through the passages B<3>, B', fitted with the regulating-valve Q and check valve S, to the pipe R leading to the bottom of the oil reservoir. Displaced oil descends the pipe 15, Fig. 2, and passes through passages in the plug 7 to the passage 13, from which it enters the sight-tube F. From the top of the sight-tube the oil passes through the valve E<5> to the chamber E', Fig. 5, and thence through the passage g in the plug G to the chamber E<6> at the head of the delivery pipe O. At the side of the condenser is mounted a cylinder D containing pistons I, I<2>, of different diameter, and a slide valve J which covers or uncovers a port K. Boiler steam entering through a passage acts on the pistons I, I<2>, and moves the valve J to the position shown. If, now, the main steam valve is opened, the steam creates back pressure in the pipe O, which is connected by the pipe M with the cylinder D behind the piston I. The piston I then moves forward, and the port K is opened. Live steam then passes through this port into the pipes L, and thence to a nozzle, injecting oil from the chamber E<6> into the pipe O. Modified arrangements of the steam pipes and of the differential pistons for automatically actuating the valve J are described. Oil may be supplied to the chamber E<6> by means of a hand oiling-cup E<2>, Fig. 5, having a filling-valve E<7> and a delivery passage e<4> which is controlled by the plug G. Steam is conveyed from the condenser to the chamber E<1> through the pipe B', valve P, and passages a<3> . The sight-tube is replenished with water from the chamber E<1> by means of a bye-pass controlled by a valve mounted at right-angles to the plug G. For a locomotive, two sight-tubes are employed, but more may be arranged. To prevent cross-feeding, in the event of one feedtube becoming choked, back-pressure valves are fitted in the passages a<3>. Should the passage g in the plug G become choked, a half turn of the plug will cause the obstruction to be forced out. The plug G, the valve controlling the bye-pass by which water is supplied to the sight-tube, and the oil valve 7, Fig. 2, are held to their seats by springs. The oil valve 7 and the sleeve 4, in which it works, are removable. The nut 16, which secures the pipe 15 in place, is accessible when the plug 14 is taken out.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Brakes for Gun Carriages or other Vehicles.
Inventor: WRIGHT WILLIAM HAMILTON
Filed: 1900-05-16
Granted: 1901-03-30
Abstract: 9051. Wright, W. H., Rothschild, W., and Smith, G. D. May 16. B r a k e s.-Two brake blocks A, A', carried on a connecting-bar B, are operated by the rod E from the lever G, while a second pair of blocks a, a<1> are operated by the rod e. The rod E is made in two sliding parts E<4>, E<6>, which are drawn together by the spring E<7> and ensure all the blocks being in contact with the wheel.

Granted: 1902-09-04
Abstract: 21,628. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Oct. 28. Cellulose acetates.-A new triacetylized derivative of cellulose is obtained by treating cellulose with a mixture of acetic anhydride and sulphuric acid, with or without the addition of a suitable solvent, such as glacial acetic acid. The reaction mass is allowed to stand for 12-24 hours, when the thick liquid is poured into water and the triacetyl cellulose separates out. This body is soluble in chloroform, epichlorhydrin, nitrobenzene, glacial acetic acid, acetone, and pyridine, but insoluble in alcohol, ether, acetic ether, amyl acetate, and glycerine. By substituting hydrocellulose for cellulose in the process above described, the new acetylized derivative is obtained which is characterized by its ready solubility in alcohol.
