Abstract: 9321. Paxton, A. April 21. Closed casings for igniting miners' lamps underground.-In apparatus of the kind having a gear chamber, a lamp chamber mounted thereon, and a switch adapted to pass from the gear chamber into the lamp chamber, such for instance as described in Specification 14,547/12, the movement of the switch handle into the ' on ' position simultaneously effects the flameproof closure of the lamp chamber. In the form shown, the lamp chamber d is mounted on a pivot d1 on the gear chamber a, and the lamp opening t4 is closed by an axially movable disk t, having an opening t2 for the passage of the switch contact. The disk t is screwed on a boss s, on a plate s on the gear chamber, and has lugs u2, u1 for engagement by the switch handle b to effect the flame-proof closure and the unclosing of the lamp chamber. A third lug u engages in a channelled lug d6 on the lamp chamber, and abuts against the end d7 of the channel when the disk t reaches the flame-proof position. The disk t may be planed on the upper face; or the disk or the adjacent face of the lamp chamber may be formed with a fine spiral groove t4 to provide a long path for the escape of gases from an explosion. Fine holes t, may also be provided for that purpose. The switch is similar to that described in Specification 14,547/12, the insulated contact-member h4 being carried by a sliding bridge-member h, Figs. 5 and 6, having spring contacts h1. The bridge-member, however, is controlled by a cam c, operated by the handle b, and engaging a sliding spring- controlled plate l. The movement of the handle b is limited by stops b1, b2, and the end b4 is shaped to prevent the rotation of the magneto handle a, until the switch is operated. The lamp is supported in the chamber d by a frame comprising two rods e slidable in brackets f, an upper clip e3, and a lower plate g with a central opening. The clip e3 has a perforated heavy end e6 and a forked end e5, and wedges itself when the end e6 is allowed to drop. The lower plate g is secured to one rod e by a lug g3, and to the other by a recessed projection g4 adapted to engage a head e, in two or more different positions, for use with lamps having contacts in different positions. To insert a lamp, the chamber d is swung out and the frame e dropped; the lamp is fitted in the frame, which is raised and held by the part g2 of a fixing-member g1, and the lamp chamber is swung back until a stop d4 on the gear casing engages a lug d8 on the lamp chamber.

Abstract: 27,181. Hudson, A. E. June 20. Automatic gear; hand-gear.-The throttle or regulator valve of a steam locomotive is closed automatically by means of the reduction of pressure in the train-pipe due to the application of the brakes. The lever F, Fig. 1, may be operated by hand or by means of a piston I in the cylinder H shown also in section in Fig. 3. An increase of pressure in the trainpipe causes air to flow into one end of the cylinder H and thence to the other end through a non-return valve 54 and passage 51 on the side of the cylinder. The piston is thus in equilibrium. When the pressure in the trainpipe falls, the air in the passage 51 cannot escape, but expands and forces the piston I along the cylinder thus moving the lever F and closing the throttle. The latch 61 of the locking-device for the operating-lever F is operated by hand or by means of the piston-rod 55. The end of the piston-rod is swivelled to a plate 57, which is connected to the latch 61 and is formed with a bevelled end which engages a bevelled bracket 59 on the lever F. The latching-device is therefore released before the pistonrod 55 operates the lever F.
