Title: Improvements relating to Volume Indicators particularly for use with Fluid Pressure Braking Apparatus.
Inventor: CLOUD JOHN WILLS
IPC: B60T15/48
Filed: 1911-02-17
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 4067. Cloud, J. W. Feb. 17. Measuring cubical contents.-The volume of a closed receptacle which is normally maintained at a pressure different from that of the atmosphere, such as the train-pipe of a fluidpressure braking - apparatus, is measured by allowing fluid under pressure to enter or escape from the receptacle until a predetermined change in the pressure in the receptacle is effected, the volume of fluid thus transferred to or from the receptacle giving an indication of the volume of the receptacle. Figs. 1 and 2 show a valve device which may be operated to allow fluid to be transferred to or from the train-pipe, and which closes automatically when a certain change in train - pipe pressure is effected. A slide-valve 4 operates in a chamber 5 open to the train-pipe by passages 6, 7, and is connected to a piston 1, which fits loosely in a cylinder 2 and is normally held in the position shown by a spring 3. An auxiliary valve 10 operated by a diaphragm 9 but normally kept open by a spring 11, and a hand-cock 18, are also provided. When the parts are in the position shown in full lines, a reservoir 8 to the left of the diaphragm 9 is charged from the train-pipe by means of the passage 6, chamber 5, and ports 20, 21, Fig. 2, and the measuring- chamber (not shown) is connected to the atmosphere by ports 23, 22, 24, Fig. 1. When it is desired to measure the volume of the train-pipe, the handle of the cock 18 is turned to the position shown by dotted lines, wherein the port 20 of the cock connects a passage 26 leading to the cylinder 2 with an exhaust port 27; thereupon the piston 1 moves to the right, and the valve 4 uncovers a port 30, connects ports 15, 17 by a cavity 16, and cuts off the reservoir 8. Train-pipe pressure then passes by passage 6, chamber 5, and ports 30, 22, 29, 23 to the measuring-chamber, and air which escapes past the piston 1 leaks from the cylinder 2 to the measuring-chamber by ports 13, 12, valve 10, and ports 14, 15, 16, 17, 28, 23. The piston 1 is thus maintained in its right-hand position until the reduction in train-pipe pressure is sufficient to allow the diaphragm 9 to move so as to close the valve 10. The pressures on opposite sides of the piston 1 then become equalized, and the piston and valve 4 are returned by the spring 3, thus cutting off the flow to the measuring-chamber.

Electro-magnetic cutouts.-A cut-out comprises a tube 1 of glass or other material, with end contact-caps 3, to one of which a spiral spring 4 is secured. A vertical extension 6 of the spring passes through a diaphragm 8 and is held by a contact-slip 10 immersed in oil. On excessive current passing, the spring contracts due to electromagnetic action and withdraws the extension 6 from the clip 10, thereby breaking the circuit beneath an oil bath 11. The diaphragm 8 serves to damp sudden movements of the oil.
