Title: Improvements in or relating to Steam Valves.
Inventor: FARMER ALBERT HENRY
Filed: 1905-09-04
Granted: 1906-09-04
Abstract: 17,869. Farmer, A. H. Sept. 4. Lift valves; actuating valves.-Lift valves are actuated by fluid pressure through the medium of differential pistons connected to the valve. A lift valve k, Fig. 1, is secured to a spindle carrying a piston h. The spindle passes through the top of the casing, where a hand-wheel r is threaded upon it. By screwing this wheel until it takes a bearing against a cross-bar o, the spindle is depressed and the valve closed. Normally, however, the valve is actuated by fluid pressure. A piston 11, subjected to the inlet pressure, is attached to a spindle which is connected to the main spindle by a rocking lever 13 hinged to the pillar n. On the exterior of the casing is arranged a four-way plug cock for connecting either of the spaces above or below the piston h with the space below the piston 11 or with a waste pipe. The plug cock may be operated from a distance. When the spaces below the pistons are connected, the excess pressure on the larger piston h causes the valve to open. When the spaces below the piston 11 and above the piston h are connected, the pressure on both sides of the latter is equalized and the pressure on the piston 11 closes the valve. In the event of a serious leakage or break in the outlet pipe f, the fall of pressure in the valve chamber will be such that the pressure beneath the piston h will be insufficient to overcome the pressure on the piston 11 and the valve will automatically close.

Abstract: 28,686. Justice, P. M., [Pike Adding Machine Co.]. Dec. 15. Typewriters and like machines. -The key-set and motor or lever operated adding-machine with printing-attachments described in Specification No. 3259, A.D. 1903, is modified to permit identifying numbers to be printed in line with the numbers that are totalized. For this purpose a special handle F is provided for moving the paper carriage laterally, controlling the engagement of the totalizing- pinions with the rack-bars, and preventing either the feed of the paper or the printing of a total or subtotal when the handle is in the identifying-number position ; the machine is also locked during the movement of this handle. Forward movement of the handle swings the arm 7 against an adjustable stop K upon the carriage and moves it laterally to the right; simultaneously the arm 710 is put under a spring control, whereby it follows the first movement of the plate 901 upon the main operating- shaft 922 of the machine and lifts the totalizing- pinions so that they may be unaffected by the subsequent motion of the rack-bars, the totalprinting link 713 being also locked while the handle F is forward. As the carriage moves to the right, it rocks the shaft 53 so as to bring a stop into the path of the paper-feeding member, locks it in position, and finaly releases it upon return. Adjustment of the carriage may be made both as regards the extent of its movement and the position of the two columns upon the paper, for which purpose the arm 10 upon the carriage may be locked into one of a number of notches in the plate that carries the stop K. To prevent operation of the machine during the motion of the handle F, the latter is connected by a pin-and-slot mechanism 101, 100, Fig. 7, with an arm 95 movable in or out of the path of a stop 93 upon a link directly connected to the main operating-handle B.
