Title: Improvements in Quick Acting Safety Valves
Inventor: GIOVANNI GIROLAMO DE SIMONE FU
Filed: 1905-12-05
Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 25,267. Simone, G. de. Dec. 5, 1964, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Safety-valves.-A safety-valve is constructed so as to give a small discharge when the excess pressure is small and a large discharge when the excess pressure is beyond a certain limit. The seat a is formed with two concentric rings n, o, the outer ring o being the higher; from the seat rises a hollow pillar g, which is connected to the seat by ribs, leaving passages k outside the pillar. A piston head l carried by the pillar forms a guide for the valve, which consists of a cap b and an outer mantle r. The lower edge of the mantle lies a short distance from the outer seat ring o when the lower edge of the valve cap b is closed on the inner seat ring n. For a small excess of pressure, the valve is opened by the pressure acting through the hollow pillar on the underside of the cap b. When the pressure exceeds the limit, the lower edge of the valve cover is raised farther so as to allow the escaping steam to impinge against the outer seat ring o ; the steam is thereby divided upwards and acts on the outer mantle r, raising the valve and giving a quick relief.

Filed: 1906-07-13
Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 15,866. Austin Motor Co., and Austin, H. July 13. Lubricators. - Relates to the lubrication of the bearings of multiplecylinder engines for motor-vehicles and motorboats. The engine case is divided into two or more e compartments A, each of which is formed to drain towards the centre.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Colouring Matters Containing Sulphur and of Intermediate Compounds.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1907-02-25
Granted: 1907-12-05
Abstract: 4592. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin and Soda Fabrik]. Feb. 25. Dyes, artificial.-Intermediate compounds are obtained by treating leuco compounds of thioindigo colouring-matters with sulphuric acid or chlorsulphonic acid ; these products, by further treatment with acid or alkaline reagents, are converted into colouring-matters. If the treatment of the leuco bodies with sulphuric or chlorsulphonic acid is sufficiently prolonged, the colouring-matter is obtained directly. The reaction is carried on at such a temperature that sulphonation does not occur. 3-Oxy- (1)-thionaphthene and its homologues and halogen derivatives, such as the 5-methyl and 5-chlor derivatives, may be treated by this process, and also the leuco bodies described in Specifications Nos. 14,192 and 17,559, A.D. 1906 ; the intermediate compounds obtained by this process from the last-mentioned leuco bodies appear to be identical with oxidized intermediate products described in the latter Specification.

Abstract: 12,107. Evered & Co., and Clarke, G. May 25. Brackets.-Shelf brakcts are made from sheetmetal blanks by cutting, beading, and pressing, or from metal bara by cutting and bending. In one form, a stamped or other blank, Fig. 2, is cut away at a corner c and bent at right angles along the dotted line so as to form the vertical web a and horizontal flange a' of the arm of the bracket, the part b which serves as the fixing-plate being parallel to the vertical plane through the middle line of the bracket arm. A similar bracket may be made by cutting away part of the horizontal flange of an angle-iron bar, as shown in Fig. 5, and bending the vertical flange so as to form a fixing-plate b. In another form of bracket, a flat bar is bent at right-angles and given a half-twist at the angle so as to form a fixing-plate, as shown in Fig. 7. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 9, a trough, shaped bar is bent at right-angles and the two sides of the trough are pressed together and flattened so as to form a fixing-plate b.

Breakdowns, preventing accidents through; brakes. -Movement of the guardbars with which railway vehicles are provided, as described in Specification No. 19,036, A.D. 1906, for supporting them when derailed, is caused to actuate the brakes. The guard-bar 7 is movably supported by the side bars 5, transverse bar 4, and links 3, pivoted to the frame of the vehicle, and also by rods 10, of adjustable length, passing loosely through holes in arms 9, secured to the bearings 8. The guard-bar 7 is connected by a link 12 with a valve 13 in the air conduit, having channels 17, 18, Fig. 3, at rightangles, so that either upward or downward movement opens the valve. The rod 12 may actuate the brake blocks directly. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, an ordinary valve 29 is employed, and is connected by the link 27 with one arm 26 of a T- shaped lever pivoted at 25. One end of the arm 24 of the lever rests against the lower end of a slot in a bar 22, pivoted to the guard-bar 7, while the upper end of a slot in a second bar 23 is normally in contact with the other end of the arm 24, so that upward or downward movement of the bar 7 causes the bar 22 or 23 respectively to operate the valve 29 and apply the brakes.
