Inventor: GRAHAM JOHN
IPC: G05D16/10
Filed: 1909-09-02
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 20,072. Graham, J., Graham, A., and Graham, D. A. Sept. 2. Reducing-valves.-A piston-controlled reducing - valve is fitted with a balancing - piston moving in a separate cylinder, and the auxiliary valve controlling the supply to the actuating- cylinder is also fitted with balancing-pistons. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the main valve 2 is balanced by a piston 1 moving in a cylinder 5, to which pressure is admitted by ports 6, 7 and a hollow spindle 3. The valve is opened by pressure admitted to the underside of a piston 4, the upper side being in communication with the low - pressure side through a passage 10. The auxiliary valve 13 is opened against the action of a spring by the reduced pressure admitted through a passage 27 acting on a diaphragm 26, to allow high-pressure steam to pass from the port 12 to the passage 16. This valve is balanced on the high - pressure side by a diaphragm 24 acted on by high pressure admitted through a pipe 25 and on the low-pressure side by a piston 17. In a modification, the control piston is leaky and is placed above the valve, which is opened by releasing the pressure above the piston. In another form of auxiliary valve for use with this modification, the valve member 13 is formed integrally with the balancing-piston 17, and is operated by a movable chamber 35 attached to the casing 19 by a diaphragm 26 and moved against the action of springs 33 by reduced pressure admitted through a pipe 34 and the hollow valve spindle 20. When the valve 13 is open, the space above the operating - piston is connected to the low - pressure side through a pipe 32, port 12, and duct 27, to release the pressure and allow the main valve to open,

Title: Improvements in Telescopic Air Springs.
IPC: F16F9/04
Filed: 1909-10-25
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 24,504. Sharp, A., and Air Springs, Ltd. Oct. 25. Pneumatic springs.-Relates to springs of the type described in Specifications 4201/06 and 22,276/07, having the plunger kept air-tight by a rolling packing - mitten. The present invention consists in having a series of two or more such elements, acting telescopically so that the compression takes place in two or more stages. The intermediate tube 2 acts as a cylinder barrel to the inner plunger 3, and as a plunger to the outer cylinder 1. The inners out of the outer mitten is slightly modified, as shown, so as to keep the surface of the tube 2 cylindrical. The compressedair region is common to both parts of the spring, but, owing to the difference in cross-sectional area of the cylinders, the outer one only comes into action at loads which are in excess of that at which the inner one is fully compressed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Bottling Machines.
IPC: B67C7/00
Filed: 1909-04-19
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 5889. Marks, E. C. R., [Crown Cork and Seal Co.]. April 19, 1909. Bottling.- In a bottling - machine having a filling - chamber and a vent tube adapted to move down inside the bottle, venting takes place continuously until the bottle is filled to the required height and is shut off when the vent tube is raised. The invention is shown applied to a machine for filling and capping bottles, so that when the vent tube is raised the bottles are capped under gaseous pressure. The caps are supported in the filling-chamber at one side of the line of movement of the vent tube and are afterwards impelled into position for capping the bottle by means similar to those described in Specification 5888/10. The vent tube M, Fig. 4, is slidable within the capping- plunger I<1> and has lateral ports adapted to register with ports in the plunger stem the gases escaping through the plunger housing to a waste-pipe. The tube may be operated by a hand-rod M'‹, Fig. 4, provided with a series of tappets adapted to engage a catch-plate M<15> on the plunger housing, so that the tube may be positioned as required by the conditions of the particular filling, or held entirely out of service; or, the tube may be operated automatically by a cam N, Fig. 3, and a bell-crank lever N' adapted to engage a collar N<2>. Venting takes place from within the bottle and ceases when the liquid reaches the vent. The tube is then raised to its inoperative position, the withdrawal of the tube being closely followed by the bottle rising into capping position, which, owing to the greater bulk of the bottle tends to increase the pressure in the filling chamber during capping. During filling, entering liquid impinges laterally on and is divided by the vent tube, so that it occupies the annular space between the tube and the bottle neck, leaving the central passage free for the snift.

Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 9646. Justice, P. M., [Going Manufacturing Co.]. April 20. Disk and wheel apparatus. -Blanks for buttons &c. are formed by breaking shells into fragments which are then reduced to the proper size and shape by grinding, the use of cutting and drilling tools being thus avoided. According to one way of carrying out the invention, the faces of the fragments which are suitable are first made parallel by passing them between rotating abrading-rollers. The pieces are then roughly shaped by grinding the edges against rotating disks 6, 7, 8; for this purpose the pieces are placed in slots in a rotating carrier 5, Fig. 7. Finally, the fragments are ground to a circular shape against rotating members 9, 10, the work being clamped between rotary shafts 11, 12, movable endways, Fig. 9. The pearl side of each blank is preferably marked by delivering the fragments from the facegrinding machine with the pearl faces downwards, on to an inked belt.

Granted: 1910-09-15
Abstract: 12,572. Liddle, J., [McCoy, P. R., and Beckers, H. A.]. May 24. Movable - abutment type; valve - gear. - An eccentrically-mounted piston 23 is surrounded by a sleeve 25 pivotally connected with an arcuate abutment 38 pivoted at 39. Gudgeon pins 47<1> on the inner end of the abutment project through arcuate slots in the cylinder ends, and bracing-arms 48<1> link these pins to the pivot pin 39. Roller bearings support the sleeve 25 upon the piston. The piston is slidingly mounted upon a squared portion 34 of the main shaft, so that, by means of screws 35, its eccentric position upon the shaft can be adjusted. Two engines are arranged side by side, and have a common shaft. Steam is admitted to the engines under control of a single slide valve 55 having separate ports for each engine. The ports are so arranged that when, by a reversing- lever 70, which controls the position of the pivot of a valve-operating lever 63, the field of the movement of the valve is changed, the steam can be used more or less expansively, and the engines can be reversed. The engine is lubricated by oil which passes through holes in the gudgeon pins of the abutment from a lubricator 51 when the pins pass below the level of the lubricator. A relief valve in the slide valve prevents undue back pressure which might arise when the engine continues to run after steam is cut off.
