Patent GB-190923841-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Safety Valve.
Inventor: MANEBY AUGUSTE
IPC: F16K17/04
Filed: 1909-10-18
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 23,841. Maneby, A. Oct. 20, 1908, [Convention date]. Safety-valves.-A safety-valve comprises a bell-shaped valve member d, the lower end of which is enlarged, and is adapted to close an annular opening. The closure members a, b, c are shown, for example, of conical formation. The valve is guided internally by a perforated disk e, supported from the seat, and externally by a flange f. When the valve is opened, the fluid escapes, partly below the bell, and partly into the bell and out through openings h, i, j. The fluid passing through the bell acts upon the surfaces n, o, and thereby compensates for the depression below the valve due to discharge. The pressure acting on the flange f balances the downward pressure on the enlarged part of the bell.

Abstract: 24,783. Wellcome, H. S., and Johnson, C. Oct. 28. Syringes.-In a dental syringe having neither washers nor packing, the finger-grip bar w is slidably mounted on the barrel y and can be locked in various positions, the piston-head i is made ellipsoidal so as to fit the palm of the operator, and the needle m is reversible and has a screw-threaded connexion f with the mountholder x. The grip-bar w is locked by the engagement of one or more projections on internal peripheral springs g with corresponding slots or recesses h between a series of projections on the barrel; it is released by a slight rotation. The mount-holder x, nozzle e, barrel y, and cap z are connected by combined friction and bayonet joints b. The metal piston a exactly fits the barrel; its rod c is graduated, and is provided with a nut d by which the quantity of medicament discharged is regulated.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Locking Devices for the Doors or Covers of Carding Engine Cylinders.
Inventor: JENNINGS WALTER

Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 26,752. Jennings, W. Nov. 18. Guards, controlling. - Relates to a locking- device for the door or cover of a carding-engine cylinder. A bar 2, Fig. 1, is connected to the door 1 and a pin 6, Fig. 5, carried by a spring 5 passes through a hole at the end, which is situated behind the slotted flange of the fast pulley. The pin can be pushed back to release the bar only when the belt has been placed on the loose pulley and the fast pulley has come to rest. The belt-fork 12 carries a pin 11, which, when the belt is on the fast pulley, projects into a hole in the end of the cylinder casing, and also supports a swinging plate 16, adapted when the door is opened and the bar 2 moved to fall over the hole and prevent the return movement of the belt-fork to place the belt on the fast pulley again. The bar 2 may be mounted in an inclined position, and may be guided by a pin sliding in a slot in the bar. The pin on the belt-fork then passes through an enlargement in the slot when the belt is on the fast pulley, the swinging plate being dispensed with. The pin used to push back the locking-pin 6 may be carried by a pivoted lever permanently attached to the casing.

Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 15,754. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. July 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Centrifugal Sprengel pumps; starting, facilitating. - To facilitate starting, centrifugal pumps of the kind in which entraining-fluids are used, arrangements are made by which only a small quantity of high-pressure entraining-fluid is necessary to produce sufficient vacuum o allow the pump to continue in operation. The pump a exhausts the large chamber b through a valve d. At starting, the valve d is closed, a small passage only being open between the pump a and the chamber b; the valve i is set so that high-pressure liquid from the pipe k s passed through the cooler h to the pipe g and the pump a which is running at a suitable speed., A vacuum is thus produced in the pump, sufficient to cause entraining-fluid to flow from the tank f to the pump; and the valve i is then turned to cut off the pipe k. The pipe k is connected as near the inlet to the suction pipe g as possible. Various means for obtaining the small passage between the pump and the chamber b are described.

Abstract: 27,487. Jones, H. Sefton-, [Soc. pour l'Exploitation des Brevets d'Aiguillage Samaia]. April 12. Mechanically operated from vehicle.-Relates to an improved hook or striker on the vehicle, which is lowered by the driver to operate the points, and is raised automatically after the operation. The hook 28 is pivoted at 32 to the plate 33 mounted on the pivot 34 fixed to the vehicle. The plate 33 pivotally carries at 36<1> a trip-lever 36 controlled by the spring 38, which normally carries the hook in an elevated position as shown. On approaching the points, if it is desired to operate them, the driver, through the lever 30, swings the trip lever and permits the hook to fall. The hook then engages the track apparatus, and the resistance offered causes the plate 33 to move about the pivot 34, thus bringing the trip lever down to re-engage the projection 37 on the hook. When the hook is freed from the resistance of the track apparatus, the spring 38 elevates the hook into its normal position.

Abstract: 20,066. Jacquier, G. Sept. 9. Wet processes of extracting metals; cyaniding; chloridizing; sulphatizing; precipitating.- The precipitation of metal by means of aluminium from metal salt solutions is assisted by subjecting the solution to the action of sunlight before or during the precipitation treatment. The solution may in addition be heated to about 30‹ C. to assist the precipitation. The invention is stated as being applicable to the recovery of gold from its ores, or the precipitation of salts of gold, thallium, copper, zinc, or lead. In the plant illustrated, the aluminium is in sheets 11 supported from a frame 4, which is raised or lowered into either of the precipitation vats by a tackle 5. A trough 16 also of aluminium rests in the bottom of the vat, and is raised or lowered by the same tackle. The tank is open at the top to allow the entrance of sunlight, and is preferably covered with a sheet of glass during the precipitation process. The solution is run off through a pipe 28 provided with a perforated diaphragm for straining the liquor. The solution to be treated is contained in a storage tank 17, which is preferably open at the top for the entrance of sunlight, and the solution is run from this tank into a shallow tray supported above the treatment tank and provided with a perforated bottom so that the solution is strained and aerated. Spilling of the solution is prevented by a funnel 21<c> placed on the precipitation vat. When treating the solution containing gold and zinc obtained in the cyanide process, the former is first precipitated and removed from the aluminium plates, which are afterwards replaced, and the zinc is precipitated as oxide. The residual solution may be used again in the process.
