Abstract: 6747. Clarkson, T., and Morison, W. J. March 30. Actuating valves and cocks.-The supply of liquid-fuel to burners for steam generators &c. is controlled by the combined effect of temperature and pressure. For this purpose a Bourdon tube A, Fig: 1, may be used, divided into inflow and outflow passages by a central partition A<1>, and closed at the end by a cap carrying a pin C, which operates a lever E connected to the liquid-fuel valve. The other end of the tube is open to the steam space of the boiler. A metal strip B, the coefficient of expansion of which is negligible or differs from that of the tube A, is connected to this tube as shown. Fig. 2 shows a tube which communicates with the steam space and is made up of three concentric tubes, the central one A<*> being made of metal having a low coefficient of expansion, so that the expansion is multiplied and the motion of the operating-pin C thereby increased. A single expansion tube may be used with an inner concentric' outlet tube, a spiral spring A, Fig. 3, being arranged between the tubes to keep them concentric. The lever engaged by the operating-pin C also engages an operating-pin carried by a spring-pressed piston C<2> exposed to the pressure of steam in the boiler. At opposite ends of the expansion-tube A, Fig. 4, pins C, C<1> are shown respectively engaging the valve-operating lever and a spring-pressed diaphragm C<6> exposed to the pressure of steam in the boiler.

Title: An Improved Method of Tying Knots to Form the Meshes of Nets, and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: LIE CORNELIUS
Filed: 1905-10-10
Granted: 1906-04-12
Abstract: 20,499. Lie, C. Oct. 10. N e t - making. - Relates to a handoperated apparatus for making and mending fishing and other nets. The knot is tied by means of a rotatable instrument 3 with a hooked horn 3<a>, Fig. 1, a projecting horn 19, and a semicircular recess 25 between. The cord or mesh 18 to be knotted is caught on the hook 3<a> and the instrument is given a complete turn. After the shuttle cord has passed through the loop, the instrument is given a complete reverse turn to cause the horn 19 to catch the shuttle cord and loop it into the position shown in Fig. 3. The shuttle cord is then returned at 9, Fig. 3, between the loop so formed and the recess 25, and the knot tightened. The instrument 3 is mounted in the projecting end of one hand-lever of the apparatus, and the rear end 20 of the instrument is so twisted that the forward movement of a slide 13 embracing the twisted part rotates it. The handlevers 1, 2 are pivotally connected, and the latter is also connected by a link 6 to a shuttle-carrying arm 4 pivoted on the hand-lever 1. The upper end of the slide 13 and a leaf spring 14 attached thereto both pass through a vertical slot in the arm 4. The upper end of the latter carries a fork 8, Fig. 8, which holds the shuttle 9 between a plate 10 and a spring 11. The mesh 18 is placed on the hook 3<a>, and the handles 1, 2 are pressed together. The arm 4 is thus brought forward, carrying the slide 13 frictionally therewith, until the latter comes against a stop, when the instrument 3 will have made a complete turn. During the further movement of the arm 4 to pass the shuttle through the mesh, the shuttle cord is placed by band over one or other of two adjustable projections 17, Fig. 7. The slide 13 is finally retracted to the original position by the pressure of a pin 15 on the arm 4, against an arm 16 which bears on the incline 13<a>. By this means the twist originally imparted to the mesh 18 is removed. The arm 4 is brought back to the initial position by the spring 7 forcing the handles 1, 2 apart, but the top end of the shuttle 9, Fig. 8, being slightly to the left of the bottom end, the shuttle cord passes up at 9 as shown in Fig. 3. The knot is drawn tight by a spring 12 gripping the shuttle cord.
