Inventor: DUDLEY RONALD
IPC: F16K21/16
Filed: 1910-06-18
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 14,740. Dudley, R. June 18. Waste-preventing valves; lift valves; actuating valves.-A valve i for use in stand-posts is adapted to be closed automatically after a predetermined quantity of water has been drawn off. When a plug cock s is turned to open the ports w, x, water passes from the supply pipe g to the bib h<2>, but a portion escapes by a hole z into a tank c. As the tank fills, the float l is raised and a valve i is finally closed, thus cutting off the supply. When the valve s is first turned, an arm 4 on the same spindle engages an arm 5 on the tank c, which is thereby tilted and emptied, the tank being returned to the normal position by counterweights when the arm 4 passes the arm 5. The time of filling, and hence the amount of water withdrawn at the bib, depends on the size of the hole z, if the valve s is kept open for the maximum flow. A spring 10 steadies the movements of the tank c. A spring-actuated substitute for the valve s is shown in Fig. 3; it is operated by a cam 16 acting on the end of the spindle 14 against a spring 13 to open the valve 11.

Filed: 1910-12-23
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 29,909. Mees, J. B. de. Dec. 23. Mines, marine.-Consists in controlling the buoyancy and therefore the depth of submersion of mines from a distance by means of an air or other gas supply system, either automatically or non-automatically. In one arrangement, the mine comprises an explosive chamber A, Fig. 1, a sealed air-chamber B, a buoyancy chamber C, an electrically-operated valve in a chamber D, and a float-valve device F. In the normal position, the valve 3, Fig. 3, in the chamber D opens the air outlet 4' and the auxiliary water passage 5, so that water may flow into the float chamber 9, Fig. 4, of the float - valve device and lift the float 7 and valve 8, thereby opening the main water passage 6 and allowing water to pass through a passage 11 into the chamber C, any air in the chamber escaping by the airoutlet 4<1> which connects the upper part of the chamber to the outside of the mine; the mine is thus weighted and sunk. When it is desired to raise the mine, the electric circuit of the electromagnets 1, Fig. 3, is closed; the valve 3 is thus moved to a position where the air outlet 4<1> and the auxiliary water passage 5 are closed, whereas the air inlet 4 is opened. Air therefore passes into the chamber C, expelling the water through the passage 11, the float chamber 9, and the passage 6; as soon as the float chamber is freed from water, the float 7 and valve 8 fall, and the outlet 6 is closed. If the electric circuit is broken, or if the air pressure is reduced below that of the water tending to open the valve 8, water is again admitted into the chamber C and the mine sunk. In another arrangement, one valve controls the admission of air and expulsion of water, and another valve controls the admission of water and expulsion of air, and the electro-magnets operating these valves are controlled by one or more manometric switches so that the mine is caused to rise or fall according to the air pressure and the depth of submersion; with this arrangement the mine can be made to retain a given depth automatically.
