Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 16,279. Knake Akt.-Ges., Geb., and Hanemann, M. July 11. Actions; expression, controlling.-Two striking-pneumatics and secondary valves controlled by a single primary valve and tracker-duct are provided for each note. A valve, controlled either manually or by the tune-sheet, is adapted to close the duct leading to one of the secondary valves and so prevent its operation. A port connecting the ducts leading from the striking. pneumatics to the secondary valves is closed by an automatically-operated valve when one striking-pneumatic only is exhausted to sound a subdued note. When air is admitted to a tracker-duct 4, the primary valve 26 is operated and admits air to the tube 7, which connects with the secondary valves 14, 15. If air is simultaneously admitted to the tube 6 either by a special tune-sheet aperture or by manuallycontrolled means, the valve A is operated and connects the tube thus to exhaust, so causing the valve 17 to open. Both the valves 14, 15 are therefore operated and connect the coupled pneumatics 1, 9 to exhaust, thereby sounding a loud note. If the valve 17 is closed, however the pneumatic 1 only is exhausted, the valve 18 being sucked up to close the connexion 13 between the channels 2, 10. The pipes connecting the primary valve-chest to the tracker-bar are short, so that the primary valves act quickly although the bleed-holes 24 are smaller than usual. The primary valve-chest is connected to exhaust independently of the other valvechests.
