Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Tools
Inventor: MARKS GEORGE CROYDON
Filed: 1902-02-25
Granted: 1902-05-01
Abstract: 4771. Marks, G. C., [Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co.]. Feb. 25. Percussive hand tools for riveting &c. are made with an ordinary throttle valve F worked by the trigger G and with a supplementary throttle valve P, which is only opened when the passage U<11> is obstructed either by pressing the tool against the work, so that the collar c closes the passage, or by other means. On opening the valve F, live air enters the valve P and passes to the space O<1> by openings f and thence by passages U, U<1> to the passage U". When the passage U" is closed, as above described, the air in the space O<1> acts on the part e and forces down the valve against the spring R, the live air thus entering the space 0 past the face d. Live air may be used instead of the spring R. During the forward motion of the piston N, live air &c. passes from the space 0, through channels S, T and a groove W, to the rear of the piston, the exhaust being effected through channels X, Y, Y<1>, Z. During the rearward motion of the piston, live air passes through channels S, opening B<1>, and channels X, to the front of the piston, the exhaust being effected through openings A', Y', Z. The valve M is normally held in the forward position shown, by air admitted to the space behind the face D' through small openings E<1>. The valve M is shifted backwards by air entering the opening F<1> and channel G and pressing on the face J<1>, which is larger than the face D'. The rear position is maintained by air passing through the channel Z'. The valve M is shifted forwards by air compressed by the rear face of the piston and acting on the face D' of the valve, the air acting on the face J<1> escaping by the channel G<1>.

Title: Improved Means for Preventing Railway Engines and the like from Overrunning Signals at "Danger".
Inventor: BULLIVANT AMOS GEORGE
Filed: 1902-07-29
Granted: 1903-03-26
Abstract: 16,759. Bullivant, A. G., and Bury, R. July 29. Stopping engines and trains; signals on engines; contacts, mechanical.-Relates to means for automatically applying the pneumatic or other brakes of a train when it over-runs a 'danger' signal. The vertical sliding bar L, mounted in a socket E fixed to one or both rails G, is formed with a slot D, in which engages a pin C on the pulley B actuated by the ordinary signal wire &c. A. When the signal is lowered to line clear,' the bar L is also lowered and inoperative, but, when the signal is at 'danger,' the rod L is raised, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, so that its upper end lies in the path of the arm K on the pulley J mounted on the engine. The arm K and pulley J can be deflected to either side, according to the direction of movement of the train, the pulley being formed with three flats M, M<1>, M', with one or other of which the spring plunger N engages, to h o l d the pulley in its normal position or in the position to which it is deflected by the rod L. The pulley is geared by, preferably, a flexible steel band Q passing over guide-pulleys R, R<1>, to a pulley S on the spindle U of the valve V<1>, Fig. 3, which, when operated, connects the steam-supply pipe W to the pipe Y through one or other of its two ports X. Thus, when the train passes a signal at 'danger,' steam is admitted to the pipe Y, from which it passes through an adjustable reducing-valve Z to the cylinder 1, where it raises a spring-controlled piston connected to the arm 7 on the brakespindle 8, and effects the application of the brakes. The arm 7 is loose on the spindle 8, but has a lateral wing, which engages a projection 10 on the ordinary brake lever 11 to effect the movement of the spindle. The cylinder 1 may be formed with a small hole, through which the steam escapes to give an audible warning that a signal has been passed. A visible indication is given by the movement from normal position of an arm on the pulley S, this arm also serving for use in re-setting the apparatus. On electrically-driven engines, the indicator arm may, by suitable electric connections, be adapted to apply the brakes.
