Title: Improvements in Slide-valve Mechanisms for Steam-engines.
Inventor: SMITH FRANK ELI
Filed: 1905-02-08
Granted: 1905-06-22
Abstract: 2571. Smith, F. E., and Russell, C. T. Feb. 8. Valves and valve-gear.-Means are described for altering the travel of the separate inlet valve without affecting the exhaust valve. A reversible link-motion is shown as applied to a locomotive. There are two links 24, 25, actuated from the same eccentrics. One 24 actuates the admission valve 8 through the lever 17, frame 16, and hollow rod 10. The other link 25 actuates the exhaust valve 9 through the lever 20 and rod 14. These valves are constructed as shown in Figs. 2, 6, 8, and 9, are balanced as shown in Fig. 10, and are provided with small ports 9<d> connected to the exhaust. The cylinder has separate steam ports 4. The reversing-lever through the rods 30, 29, Fig. 11, alters the position of the link 24 which is pivoted to the bell-crank lever 28, 26. The reversing-lever alters the position of the link 25 through the frame 47 attached to the rod 30 actuating the sliding casing 35, which is connected through the rod 34 with the link. The casing 35 is provided with an automatically-locking arrangement which locks it in po ition when moved to either end of the bed 36, Fig. 11. The block 50 has a projection 52 carrying- a roller, which engages with a recess 63 and also bolts 64 which engage with openings 65 in the bed. When the bar 30 is moved, the pin 48 lifts the bar 66, thus disengaging the bolt 64, and acts on the bell-crank lever 59, thus disengaging the block 50 against the action of the spring 54. The casing then moves with the bar until the end of its motion ; on movement of the bar in the other direction, the locking-mechanism is released and the casing held secure. The bar 30 can thus be moved forward to reduce the stroke of the inlet valve without affecting the exhaust.

Filed: 1906-03-29
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 7630. Fulton, W. M. Jan. 30, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Thermostats.-In a damper regulator applicable in connexion with a low-pressure boiler for heating houses, and consisting of a collapsible vessel subject to the steam pressure, means are provided for compensating for the disproportionate resistance of the vessel to abnormal distortion, and for more readily connecting the damper lever to the vessel. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the damper-lever 11 passes through the boss 6<a> and rests in grooves cut in the ridges formed on the upper surface of a hollow rocker 10 pivoted at 9<a> to a bracket 2 supporting the collapsible vessel 1 connected with the steam source. The plunger 4 is pivoted to the rocker at 32, both pivots 9<a>, 32 having brass bearings to prevent corrosion. The compensating means comprises a plunger pivoted at 32 and urged forward by a spring within the casing 26 pivoted to the bracket at 39. Thus the greater the upward movement of the rod 4 the greater will be the compensating vertical component of the force due to the spring. Another form of rocker is shown in Fig. 3<a>, and consists of a plate 16 with flanges 15 recessed at 19 to receive the lever 11 which is then secured by a screw at 20, lugs 13, 22 being pivoted to the bracket and plungers as before. In the construction shown in Fig. 8, the plunger 4 is connected to the rocker 10 by means of links 5, 9, and sector 6 pivoted at 8 a lever 14 pivoted at 15 being added to guide the plunger 4. Compensating-means other than that shown in Figs. 2 and 3<a> may be employed, an arrangement analogous to a fusee being described and illustrated in the Specification.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Automatic Sale of Liquids.
Inventor: LINDGREN ERICK WALDEMAR
Filed: 1906-05-21
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 11,860. Lindgren, E. W. May 21. Automatic-feed weighers; liquid-weighers.-In an automatic sale apparatus for liquids, of the type described in Specification No. 8412, A.D. 1904, the measuring-vessel 3 is carried by cords 8, Fig. 1, from a pivoted forked lever 2, which is connected by a rod 4 to one arm of a counterweighted lever 1. The vessel is normally held in its lower position by mechanism to be released by a coin, but not shown in Fig. 1, the vessel being therein shown in the upper or filling position. The valve 11 is opened by the rod 13 being lifted by the lever 1 as the vessel rises, and the liquid then flows through pipes 10, 12 to the vessel. When the vessel is full, it sinks owing to its weight, and an outlet valve 15, carried by the lower end of the pipe 12, is thereby opened to discharge the liquid to the spout 16, the valve seat being carried by the vessel. Arms radiating from the pipe 12 form guides for the vessel. The outlet valve 15 may be modified, as shown in Fig. 3, the spindle in this case passing through a seat 6 in the pipe 12 and carrying a valve head 7 at its upper end to cut off the supply. A modified construction is shown in Fig. 4. Two forked levers 2 support the vessel 3, a spring 21 or weight raises the vessel, and the outlet valve 15 is an ordinary contact valve. The lower lever 2, Fig. 4, has a projection 16 engaging a projection 18 on a counterbalanced coin lever 19, to hold the vessel in the lower position until released by a coin inserted, as shown in dotted lines. Several coin levers 19 may be employed, each having a separate coin channel. In this case, each lever carries a projection 20 located in the path of a common projection 17 to prevent any coins from dropping out before all the coins have been inserted. The lever to receive the last coin may have the projection 20 omitted.

Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 2589. Reardon, R. E. Feb. 1. Sigths.-The sighting- bar of a back-sight is provided with fine adjustments for elevation an d lateral deviation, the adjustments being effected by screws with heads of triangular or polygonal section so that the amount by which the screw is turned can be observed by the sense of touch. Fig. 1 is a rear elevation with the leaf raised Fig. 2 is a rear elevation with the leaf down; Fig. 3 is a side view; Fig. 5 shows are sighting-bar A with the eyepiece and its carrier removed; Fig. 6 is a section on the dotted line shown in Fig. 5 ; Figs. 7 and 8 show the eyepiece carrier B; Figs. 9 and 10 are rear views of the eyepiece C. The sighting-bar A is fixed in the required position upon the leaf by the screw 11 which presses the friction-piece 6, shown in the vertical section Fig. 12, against the leaf. In the modification shown in Fig. 12, for enabling the setting of the sighting-bar to be determined by the sense of touch, indentations 13 are formed on the side of the leaf opposite to each graduation, and the pin 12, passing through the screw 11, drops into each indentation as the sighting-bar slides along the leaf, the depression being felt by the finger applied to the end of the screw 11. The fine adjustment for elevation is obtained by making the eyepiece carrier B to slide up and down in the sighting-bar A by means of the triangular-headed screw 16 engaging in the nut 20 of the carrier B, a tongue 21 of the carrier sliding in a groove 34 of the sighting- bar A. The sighting-notch, Fig. 9, of the eyepiece 0 is placed at the centre of a semicircle. The eyepiece C is traversed for lateral deviation by t' e triangular-headed screw 24 mounted in the carrier B and engaging in a threaded hole formed in the projection 35 of the eyepiece engaging in the groove 22 of the carrier. A modification, in which the eyepiece can be disengaged from its adjusting- screw to allow it to be pushed along, is shown in the section Fig. 13, the adjusting-screw 24 engageing with a threaded part of an elongated hole in a spring pin 28 mounted in a recess 33 of the eyepiece C. Disengagement is effected by pushing in the spring pin 28. In order to indicate when the sliding eyepiece has reached the middle position, the carrier C is formed with a notch 26 into which the end 21 of the pressed-in pin 28 drops.
