Patent GB-190707983-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Means for Securing the Doors of Steam Disinfectors and like Apparatus.
Inventor: JONES WILLIAM JOHN
Filed: 1907-04-05
Granted: 1908-03-05
Abstract: 7983. Jones, W. J. April 5. Door opening and closing apparatus.-The doors of steam disinfectors &c. are constructed with a number of radial bolts operated by means of links connected to a disk mounted on a screwed spindle. The door is built of cast-iron bodyplates b, c secured to a circumferential ring a and central castings e, f. Holes in the ring a and the casting e serve as guides for radial bolts d pivotally connected to links p which are secured by ball-and-socket joints to a disk q. This disk is firmly mounted on the sbaft g, and so moves with it when the latter is reciprocated, for preference by rotation on it of a screwed sleeve u operated by a wheel v outside the door. The outer ends of the bolts are wedge-shaped and engage with adjustable staples or recesses h carried by the body i of the disinfector. The door is hinged to the casing, and air-tight sealing of the door with the false lining n and the body i is ensured by packing-rings m, o. In action, the door is swung to, and then the disk g is moved forward by rotation of the wheel v ; this causes all the bolts d to be thrust outwards into the staples h, thereby forcing the door tightly against the body.

Abstract: 13,514. Nicholson, R. H. Aug. 3, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Overwinding, preventing.-In brakes for winding and such like mine engines, the supply of steam or other fluid to the brake cylinder can be controlled manually, and the brake is applied automatically when the cage reaches certain positions or attains too high a speed. The main steam pipe D, Figs. 1 and 3, is connected to the steam brake cylinder B through a number of connexions arranged in parallel, viz. : (1) Through a hand-operated disk-valve C, con. trolling the connexions between the pipes d, d<1>, leading to the respective ends of the cylinder B, and the exhaust E and main supply pipeD. (2) Through a pipe R containing a valve r which is opened, when the speed is too high, by a governor M acting through mechanism shown in Fig. 2, an exhaust valve s being opened by the governor when the speed has fallen below normal. (3) Through a pipe I containing a valve i, which is operated by adjustable stepped tappets f on a disk mounted on a shaft A driven from the crank-shaft of the winding-engine, preferably through some speedreducing device, such as that described in Specification No. 18,352, A.D. 1905. When the cage reaches the top or bottom of the shaft, these tappets act on the valve i through a sliding tappet bar I<1>, the stepped tappet ensuring a gradual braking. The tappet bar I<1> can be slid out of the path of the tappets by a hand-lever 3, held upright by spring pistons 8, a plate 51 dropping behind a stop and preventing motion of the bar I<1> in the wrong direction. (4) Through a by-pass K around the valve i containing a pressure-reducing valve L and a valve k operated directly by tappets on a second disk on the shaft A. (5) Through,a pipe J which has a pressure - reducing valve P and a valve j operated by a lever-controlled tappet bar similar to the bar I' and worked by tappets on a third disk on the shaft A. The tappets on the three disks may be so set that the valves j, k are operated before the valve i to admit pressure into the brake cylinder gradually ; and the tappets may be thrown out of action.

Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 15,150. Buch, R. July 1. Drying peat &c.-Vegetable substances, such as peat used for making briquettes, are dried by being first subjected to superheated steam and furnace gases, whereby their fibrous and capillary character is destroyed ; and is afterwards dried in a steam plate stove or in any ordinary way. In the apparatus shown, peat fed through a hopper e is carried through an open drum a, rotating on rollers, by a worm p on the inner wall of the drum and afterwards passes out through apertures h and is carried off by a worm k. At the discharge end, the drum merges in a funnel d, at the back of which is a furnace b which supplies gases to the drum and superheats steam fed into the drum through a pipe r. The mixed steam and gases pass off through a draught pipe f to the chimney c at the feed end.

Abstract: 12,400. Leaning, C. W. June 9. Doors.-The doors of railway freight cars and other enclosures are formed of independent sections sliding vertically on guideways at the sides of the doorway so that the doors may be closed to any desired height from the floor. During the conveyance of cattle, grain, &c., the upper parts of the doors may thus be kept open. The door sections 11 have ends 10 formed as sleeves to encircle the guideways 2, which are laterally disposed at their upper ends so that they overlap, Fig. 1, or they may be formed so that the guideways of one doorway may be integral with the guideways at the opposite side of the car. When the door sections are not in use, they occupy positions upon the guideways above the doorway and beneath the roof, being retained there by suitable locking means. As shown in the drawings, this consists of a keeper 12 at each side, having a slot 13 for a bolt 14 screwed into the car side, and an end 15 bent to engage removably the guideways 2. At the opposite end of the keeper is a locking-rod 17 which can be clamped between plates 19, 20 arranged on the cross beams 7.
