Abstract: 27,656. Marks, E. C. R., [Chilton Flusher Co.]. Nov. 28. Valve - discharge water - waste preventers.- When the handle 12, Fig. 1, is raised, a ball 1 is knocked into a recess 13 by the impact of a lever 6. The water in the tank 22 and flushpipe 5 thereupon escapes. In its passage, it strikes a vane 9 attached to an arm 11, which keeps the ball aside during the flush. When the handle is raised, a cam 20 on the spindle 7 causes a valve 15 to rise and thereby uncover the orifice of a passage 14, through which water from the pipe 5 then passes. This flow facilitates the passage of the ball into the recess. The cistern 22, Fig. 4, is closed air-tight when an aperture 25 is closed by a float valve 26. The top of the pipe 5 is provided with a cap 27 perforated with holes 31. At the end of a flush, noise is prevented by the lowering of the cap by means of a float 30 and levers.

Granted: 1912-06-24
Abstract: 7212. Leetham, S. March 22. Scouring; processes for reduction of grain.- Wheat, barley, or other grain is cleaned by mixing it with flour, thirds, sharps, pollard, bran, sawdust, maize-meal, or other comminuted vegetable material or the like, and subjecting the mixture to pressure and friction in a machine having a screw by which the material is forced through a constricted outlet, as described in Specification 11,487/99, [Class 59, Grinding, crushing, &c.]. Oil and colouring- matter are also removed by the treatment, and may be further extracted by raising the temperature either by increasing the pressure, moistening to increase the friction, or damping with hot water or steam, or by allowing the grain to lie in contact with the cleaning- material. Flour, thirds, sharps, or pollard are improved by the trituration, and may be afterwards employed as food for animals. The cleaning-material is removed by aspirators &c., and the process may be continuous. Specification 2650/12 is referred to.

Title: Oil-testing Machine.
IPC: G01N11/10
Filed: 1911-03-27
Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 7616. Oelwerke Stern-Sonneborn. April 6, 1910, [Convention date]. Testing lubricants.-An oiltesting machine, in which a driven friction member 2, Fig. 1, transmits rotary motion through the oil to a loosely - mounted friction member 1, is provided with means whereby an oscillatory as well as a continuous rotary motion may be given to the driven member 2. A variable load is imposed on the member 1 by means of a lever 16 and a spring balance 18. The members 1, 2 are enclosed in a casing 12, through which steam or cold water may be led, and which may be heated by a bunsen burner 200. The oil may thus be tested under steam pressure. The power transmitted through the film of oil is measured by the angular movement of a lever 24, which is rigidly connected to the member 1, and which is controlled by a spring 27, Fig. 2. The temperature at the point of friction is indicated by a spiral-spring thermometer 22, the thermometer tube 23 thereof passing through a rod 13 to the space between the members 1, 2. The angular movement of the member 1 and the temperature indicated by the thermometer 22 are recorded on the same or on separate moving strips of paper 26, 31 by means of pencils on the levers 24, 30. The lever 24 is provided with a pawl 28 engaging a ratchetsegment 280, in order to prevent a return movement, and to provide a satisfactory record when the oil is tested under reciprocating rotary motion. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an apparatus for testing the behaviour of the oil under steam pressure or vacuum. The apparatus consists of a cup 51, Fig. 6, filled with oil and arranged in a container 48 closed by a cover 47. The container may be evacuated or supplied with steam, and is heated by a Bunsen burner 50. When under pressure, the oil, together with the steam, is forced out through a pipe 54 and is sprayed on to a moving strip in a chamber 57. The amount of oil taken up by the steam may thus be ascertained. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1911-05-29
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 12,828. Smith, Major, & Stevens, Major, C. G., and Kennard, G. May 29. Electro-magnetic actuation. - Two solenoids pulling on the opposite ends of a beam connected to a reversing - switch are electrically interlocked by means of an auxiliary core associated with one of the solenoids, so that, in the event of the two solenoids being accidentally energized at the same time, one is immediately cut out and the reversing-switch left under the entire control of the other. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the auxiliary core G which slides in a hole in the core F of one solenoid B is connected to a brass rod H, which carries a contact J for bridging two terminals K in series with the other solenoid A. The circuits of the solenoids are under the control of switches C, D, and, if these are closed simultaneously, the energization of the solenoid B causes the lower pole of the magnet to draw down the core G against the force of the spring M. The contact J is thus separated from the terminals K, cutting out the solenoid A and leaving the main core F free to move under the control of the solenoid B alone. The auxiliary pole may be energized by a small separate coil in series with one of the solenoids, or it may occupy a position at the side instead of at the centre of the main core. Or it may take the form of a short cylinder embracing the main core, or be placed in a groove in the solenoid frame.

Filed: 1912-08-13
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 18,588. Carey, R. F. Aug. 13. Fluid-pressure apparatus.-In hydraulic apparatus for lifts, cranes, hoists, &c., in which an hydraulic motor is used, a body of liquid, such as oil or glycerine, distinct from the water in the main, is used for operating the motor. A cylinder 1, containing the oil in a sufficient quantity to operate completely the motor 2 to move the cage &c., is provided with a piston 3. The space above the piston communicates with the inlet of the motor 2 and from the outlet of the motor is a pipe 5 leading to a receiver 6, from which the pipe 7 leads to the space above the piston 3 through a non-return valve 8. A valve 16, arranged in a casing 10 and operated preferably by fluid pressure, controls the admission or exit of fluid to or from the passage 9. The valve 16 is acted upon continuously by pressure liquid in the main 12, and a piston 15 may be placed in communication with pressure or exhaust by a three-way pilot valve 18. When the piston 15 is open to pressure, as shown in the Figure, the valve 16 opens the passage 9 to exhaust 13. When the piston 15 is open to exhaust 19, the piston 16 is forced along the casing 10 until pressure fluid passes through the pipe 9 and acts upon the piston 3 and forces the isolated fluid through the motor. The piston 3 is provided with a valve face 20 acting on a seat 21 to prevent the wastage of liquid that passes the piston. Instead of a plain piston, a piston with a plunger may be employed, or two rams with unequal area may be used to produce a pressure of liquid differing from the pressure of the water. The pilot valve 18 may be actuated from the cage, in the case of a lift. The actuation of the motor for reverse is effected in the usual manner; or two cylinders and two valves may be employed, both cylinders being connected with the motor so that in whichever way the engine is running, one cylinder acts from the pressure main while the other receives the exhaust.
