Patent GB-190426349-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Injectors.
Inventor: METCALFE JAMES CROXON
Filed: 1904-12-03
Granted: 1905-11-23
Abstract: 26,349. Metcalfe, J. C., and Metcalfe, R. D. Dec. 3. Lift valves.-In an injector having a cone m surrounding the main steam nozzle is fitted a valve adapted to cut off the steam supply both to the cone and to the nozzle. In the form of valve shown in Fig. 1, a cylindrical part c slides tightly in the nozzle end, while a conical part e seats itself on the end of the cone. The valve may be actuated by a rack and pinion, as shown, or by other means. In a modification, Fig. 10, the nozzle valve r has a conical seating, and its stem is arranged to slide in the body of the valve e. When the valves are opened, steam is first admitted to the cone, the valve r being retained on its seat by a spring t. In injectors not provided with a cone, the valve seating x, Fig. 6, is formed with a tapering extension z, as shown. The overflow is controlled by a valve 11, Fig. 2, which is held on its seat by the pressure, communicated by a tube, in the delivery chamber 16. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, which is a section on the line A-B, Fig. 1, the pressure acts on the back of a flexible diaphragm 12 in contact with the valve stem. In a modification, the stem slides in a casing and the pressure acts on its end in the manner of a piston or plunger. A piston-and-lever arrangement similar to that described in SpecificationNo. 20,222, A.D. 1899, may be employed for closing the valve, or in some cases it may be closed by hand.

Filed: 1906-04-14
Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 8986. Hart, W. Fairburn-, [Stokes & Smith Co.]. April 14. Box-making machines.-The machines described in Specifications Nos. 19,966 and 19,967, A.D. 1901, and No. 8230, A.D. 1904, are made applicable for covering paper boxes having extension edges b, Fig. 9, by substituting for the ordinary covering- rollers rollers of the form shown in Figs. 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10. The rollers 3 each have a cut away portion filled by a yielding sleeve 11, and a longitudinal recess 12 of such a size as to receive both the extension edge b of the box and the extension 14 of the platen 15. The box B is placed on the blank A and both are placed on the form 16, which descends together with the platen, the brushes 8 initially applying the covering to the sides. The platen extension then engages with one side of the recess 12 and rotates the roller 3, the upper side of the recess folding the covering over the box extension, as shown in Fig. 3. Continued movement of the platen causes the circular part of the roller to attach the box covering to the sides. Further descent of the box brings it to the wings 9, which are operated to turn in the stay flaps a, and the operation is completed by lower covering-rollers similar to the rollers 3. A spiral spring 19, Fig. 5, with one end fixed to the roller shaft and the other to the casing 18, brings each roller back to its original position after each covering operation, when the tail 20<b>, Fig. 6, of a collar 20 fixed to the shaft rests against a pin 20<c> fixed to the casing 18. The position of the pin 20<c> is adjusted by the screw 23 and the slotted extension 21 of the casing. In order to apply the covering to the box extension with a yielding pressure, the recess in the roller 3 may be provided with buffers 24, Fig. 10, loosely arranged on stems 25 and springs 26.
