Patent GB-191110985-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Automatically Controlling the Supply of Liquid to Filter Beds.
Inventor: ADAMS SAMUEL HENRY
IPC: C02F3/04
Filed: 1911-02-01
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 10,985. Adams, S. H. Feb. 1. Supplying and discharging liquid in connexion with filters.-The supply apparatus for an arrangement of filter-beds for sewage is such that secondary beds are used as primary beds in dealing with an excess of storm water. There are supply-chambers for both primary and secondary beds, the effluent from the primary beds being normally delivered to the supplychamber for the secondary beds. The liquid enters a chamber b, Fig. 1, through a pipe a and passes to pipes c which conduct it to the primary filters q. The effluent from the primary filters enters the secondary supply - chamber, shown in plan in Fig. 4, through the pipes k and passes through a siphon j into a compartment to which the supply-pipes m for the secon. dary filters r are connected. When the supply of liquid is excessive, part will flow over a weir d in the chamber b and pass by a pipe f to a compartment g, in which is situated an airdome h. Air from the dome passes through a pipe i to the siphon and prevents further discharge therethrough. The effluent from the primary beds then passes over a weir n and through a pipe p to the outfall u. The liquid entering the chamber g flows over a weir x and is supplied to the secondary beds. When the supply ceases to be excessive, the chamber g is emptied through a siphon w or an orifice.

Abstract: 26,293. Delmas, -T. May 3. Composite and helical springs; dash-pots; connexions, attachments, and adjustments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.-Relates to vehicle shock-absorbers of the kind in which helical springs are interposed between the lid of a casing pivoted to one laminar spring and a plate carried by a pair of rods which are pivoted to the other laminar spring and slide in guide-sockets in the lid of the casing. According to the invention, the pin that serves to pivot the casing to the vehicle spring rests in holes in the guide-sockets in the lid, and is prevented by the rods from endlong movement. In the form shown in Fig. 2, a pair of rods 2, 3, attached by a crossbolt 5 to the end of the vehicle suspensionspring, carry at their lower ends a plate 4, and are adapted to slide in guide-sockets 1<a> in the lid of a cylindrical box 10, which is pivoted to the vehicle frame-spring by a pin 6, the ends of which rest in holes in the sockets 1<a> and abut on the rods 2, 3. Between the plate 4 and the lid of the box 10 are arranged a number of helical springs 7, 8, 9, which are either of equal strength and are arranged to operate simultaneously, or are of unequal strength and are arranged to operate successively. The casing 10 may be filled with oil, in which case the guide-sockets 1<a> are arranged to act as stuffing-boxes. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes (1) a device in which the helical springs are placed end to end, and are of different resiliencies for progressive action, and (2) means for adjusting the distance between the plate 4 and the lid of the casing to vary the resiliency of the spring. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 27,602. Macrae, R. Nov. 30. Ball and float valves.-A steam-trap has an outlet lift valve d connected by a link m, working in a slot in the valve stem, to a weighted lever k, which is operated by a float b so as to open and close the valve suddenly, and the valvestem is provided with a split ring s or like frictional device bearing against a guide g to retain the valve in the open or closed position until the moment of actuation. The float b is carried by an arm c secured to a spindle j, having a key j<1> fitting loosely in a keyway p in a boss k<1>, to which is attached the lever k and an arm q carrying a weight r. The weight r passes its vertical position shortly before the link m arrives at the top or bottom of the slot, and forces the valve suddenly up or down. A strainer f covers the valve d. In a modification, the valve comprises an inner part secured to the stem and an outer part mounted loosely on the stem so as to be raised after the inner part.

Abstract: 4973. Beard, G. F. H., and Scott, J. W. Feb. 27. Pleating.-A sheet of metal or other material is corrugated in a consecutive manner without moving it. The sheet b, Fig. 1, on a bed a is successively operated on by formers c', c actuated by eccentrics e<1>, e on shafts h. The eccentrics e<1> are the larger, and are connected to the former c<1> by a pin and slot d<2>, so that, after corrugating, this former rests on the sheet and holds it during the action of the other formers c. The formers may be actuated by, fluid-pressure pistons controlled by eccentricoperated valves or as in bear punches, the levers being reciprocated by cams. In the latter case, the former c<1> is not raised by the return of the piston, and the bed a is lowered to allow the introduction and removal of the sheet. In another modification, the former c<1>, Fig. 8, carries blocks t<1> forming bearings for corrugating-rolls t, which are operated by cranks w. The rolls t are held against the bed a by rails y, under which the blocks t' pass.

Abstract: 5307. Handcock, H. W., Dykes, A. H., and Duddell, W. March 19, 1912. Order apparatus. - Electric resonance apparatus, arranged in a tuned circuit so as to be actuated by currents of a particular frequency, is provided with auxiliary windings also placed in circuit to prevent the actuation of the apparatus by currents of other frequencies. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the operating-magnet is provided with two windings L1, L2, the circuit formed by the condenser K and winding L, being tuned to the frequency at which the magnet should operate. The apparatus is described as for use in an electric circuit for actuating apparatus by superposed currents of a particular frequency, and the coil L3 is adjusted so that the currents through the windings L1, L2 at the frequency of the supply do not cause the magnet to operate. Other arrangements are described in which the winding L2 is omitted and the condenser K and coil L3 are in parallel, and in which the winding L1 receives current through a transformer. The magnet may be used to actuate a switch or to give a visible or audible signal. Suitable contacts to be operated by the armature are arranged so that a globule of mercury in a tube completes a circuit between platinum wires or mercury globules when the tube is tilted. The tube is exhausted or filled with an inert gas. Otherwise the armature may consist of a piece of iron floating in mercury, the attraction of the armature causing the level of the mercury to rise to operate the contact. Specifications 15,226/04, 4965 / 06, 17, 695 / 07, 21,651 / 07, 4125/09, and 11,903/10, [both in Class 40 (v), Wireless signalling &c.], and 6716/12 are referred to.
