Title: Improved Valve Mechanism for Pneumatic Percussion Tools.
IPC: H01R43/08
Filed: 1905-11-16
Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 23,617. Pokorny & Wittekind Maschinenbau Akt.-Ges. Nov. 17,1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Percussive handtools.-In a valve mechanism for a percussive pneumatic tool, the differential valve 11, which has only one seating shoulder, has two sliding surfaces, and the fluid pressure supply is controlled by the outer edges and the exhaust by the neck. The supply passes along passage 16 and acts continually on the smaller end of the valve passing along the port 17 so as to drive out the piston 4, exhaust taking place through the port 24 and through passages 21, 22, the valve-neck, the passage 26, and the port 25 into the atmosphere. When the reduced neck 5 of the piston comes opposite the ports 19, 20, fluid pressure is communicated from the passage 16 to the larger end of tho valve which is consequently reversed. Fluid then passes also through the passage 18 into the space below the valve and into the passage 21 through the orifice 23, so as to return the piston, the exhaust passing through the conduit 17, the valve-neck, the passage 26, and the ports 25. When the end of the piston uncovers the port 20<1>, the pressure is exhausted from the lower end of the valve, which is returned. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also a second valve mechanism for a percussive tool as shown in Fig. 3. Fluid pressure passes along the port 16 and the passage 27 and drives back the piston, exhaust passing through the port 24 and also through the passage 31, the valve-neck, and the ports 26, 25 into the atmosphere. When the piston closes in its rearward stroke the passage 31, the fluid enclosed between it and the valve causes the reversal of the latter. Fluid now passes down the passage 28 into the annular groove 29 and thence passes behind the piston, which is forced outwards, the exhaust passing out through the port 24 and also through the passage 27, the valve-neck, and the ports 26, 25. When the rear end of the piston passes the port 24, fluid pressure on the larger area of the valve is exhausted and the continued pressure on the smaller area forces down the valve. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improved Means and Apparatus for Obtaining Dry Products from Liquids or Semi-liquids.
Inventor: MECREDY JAMES
Filed: 1906-01-19
Granted: 1906-12-31
Abstract: 1479. Mecredy, J., and Hawes, D. M. A. G. Jan. 19. Liquids, spraying; vaporizing by air currents.- Liquids and semi-liquids are evaporated to dryness by being sprayed upwards into a cylindrical chamber, at the upper end of which a current of hot air enters in a tangential direction so that it traverses the cylinder with a swirling motion. In the apparatus shown in the Figure, the liquid entering under pressure by a pipe b, together with air entering under pressure by a pipe d, is forced into the chamber a through a nozzle c, the hot air entering by a pipe e. The dry powder collects on an inclined plate f, the air and vapours passing away through a gauze-covered opening o. In the preferred form, a gauze-covered cylinder h, which is rotated by means of vanes m, is used to prevent the liquid from settling on the wall of the chamber. The Provisional Specification also stites that milk may be dried by this process.

Title: Milk Filtering Apparatus with Settling Compartment
Inventor: BOEBS FRIEDEL
Filed: 1906-04-14
Granted: 1906-07-19
Abstract: 9006. B÷bs, F. April 14. Filtering milk; settling.-Milk poured into the vessel a flows down the pipe f, which is screwed into the collar d, and then rises through a strainer i, held between a flange h and a cylindrical piece k, and through a sheet l of wadding. The wadding, which is enclosed between linen-gauze sheets, is held at the centre between a nut p and a flange on the piece k, and its outer edge. is tightened down over the edge of the vessel b by a ring m, the ends of which are drawn together by a screw o working through lugs n. After filtration, the milk passes downwards and leaves by the outlet q. Impurities settle at the bottom of the vessel b, and a plate s, attached to a rod r which serves to clean the tube f, prevents the disturbance of the impurities by the down-flowing milk. The vessel b is attached to the pipe f by supports g.

Title: Improvements relating to Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: GARDNER THOMAS HARRY
Filed: 1906-04-27
Granted: 1907-03-28
Abstract: 9863. Gardner, T. B., and Gardner, E. April 27. Gas and like engines.-To reduce the working temperatures of internal-combustion engines, water is sprayed into the explosive-mixture inlet pipe or into the auxiliary air-supply pipe by an apparatus similar to that described in Specification No. 6197, A.D. 1905. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, water is sprayed into the explosive-mixture inlet pipe c by a needle valve a which carries a suctionoperated diaphragm b working in a chamber e. The valve may be thrown out of action by moving a cam h out of the path of the spring-loaded lever f, which then holds the valve on its seat. In a modification, the water-spraying valve discharges into a supplementary air-supply pipe, the movements of the valve being controlled by the pressure in the explosive-mixture inlet pipe.

Patent GB-190621014-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Method of and the Apparatus for Discharging and Charging Ballast Tanks and other Vessels on Board Ship and in Discharging Bilge Water and for other Discharging and Charging Purposes.
Inventor: PRESTON FREDERICK GEORGE PANIZ
Filed: 1906-09-21
Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 21,014. Preston, F. G. P., and Ralston, G. C. Sept. 21. Direct air-pressure apparatus.-Apparatus similar to that described in Specification No. 12,605, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Ships &c., Div. I.], for discharging ashes into the sea, is utilized for charging and discharging ballast tanks and discharging bilge water. Compressed air is used to drive out the water from the bilge or from the ballast tanks, and by changing the position of a multipleway cock the compressed air can be made to charge the tanks with water. The hollow conical rotatory plug 1 of the discharger 7 is fitted with a hollow spindle 2 driven by a compressed-air motor 21, the exhaust of which passes into a receiver 22 by way of a loaded back-pressure valve 28. The plug 1 is provided with an inlet 6 for compressed air and an inlet 5 for water. To discharge the tanks 30, the motor rotates the plug 1, and water enters by the inlet 5, raising the ball valve 3 when the discharger is full. Further rotation brings the air inlet opposite the orifice 10, which is in connexion with the receiver 22, and simultaneously the inlet 5 comes opposite the discharge opening 9. The water is thus forced out by the air, which remains in the discharger under the pressure. The air inlet 6 then registers with the air-discharge pipe 11, and the interior of the discharge is once more at atmospheric pressure and ready to receive a further charge of water. The plug 1 is rotated until the tanks are completely discharged. Modifications are described in which the discharger 7 is differently situated and in which it is arranged to be used for charging the tanks by the addition of a multipleway cock between it and the receiver 22, and is provided with extra air inlets and outlets for this purpose. A compressed-air ejector may also be fitted to facilitate the discharge of the water.
