Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 17,945. Wilson, J., [Wilson, J. H.]. Aug. 8. Pneumatically-operated fastenings.-A modification of the vacuum-operated piston described in Specification 5864/05, [Class 122, Steam engines], for use in connexion with vacuum brakes is used for operating the fastenings of railway-carriage doors. A cylinder a having an exhaustion pipe b<1> is provided with a piston c having a rolling piston-ring c<2>, one or more peripheral holes c<1>, and a peripheral groove c*. A piston-rod c<7> has a rearward extension c<5>, which passes through a suitably packed bearing c<8> into a valve chamber d<8>. With the piston in the position shown, the end of the extension c<5>, which is provided with an adjustment screw c<10>, opens a spring-controlled valve d, thereby putting the rearward side of the piston in communication with atmospheric pressure by way of a hole d<3>, a passage d<5> in the valve, and a hole d'. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the extension c<5> of the pistonrod is shortened and the valve chamber d<8> omitted. In this form, the adjustment screw c<10> is provided with a lock-nut c<11>. When a vacuum is created in the pipe b<1>, the piston moves from the position shown to the other end of the cylinder, upon reaching which the rolling piston-ring c<2> will have uncovered the hole c' and thereby put both sides of the piston in connexion with the vacuum, the valve d having closed immediately the piston-rod extension c<5> left it. Upon putting the pipe b<1> in communication with atmospheric pressure, the piston immediately moves in the reverse direction, the rolling piston-ring c<2> passing the hole c<1> and maintaining the vacuum on the rearward side of the piston, until the piston reaches the position shown and opens the valve d.

Granted: 1913-05-05
Abstract: 10,633. Papin, A., and Rouilly, D. May 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Line-throwing apparatus. -Relates principally to helicopters, but is also applicable for use as rocket and line throwing apparatus, in which the car is carried in axial alinement with the sustaining screw propeller, which is of the Barker'smill type, being rotated by tangential jets of gas, and consists principally in using a propeller with only one blade ; but where more than one blade is used, special apparatus is provided for drawing in the air which is forced out at the tips for rotating the screw. With two blades, the motor unit is at the centre, but with one blade, the unit is placed so as to balance the blade. The boss 2, Fig. 6, enables the machine to rest on the ground or on water, while the blades are still revolving. The engine 4 may be of any type, and when of the rotary radial cylinder form, or turbine type, the fan-wheel 5 is mounted on the engine. The fan is enclosed, and the delivery passage, which is controlled by a valve 6<b>, is connected by a duct 8 to the nozzles. The exhaust gases may be passed into the fan. The fan inlet is on the tcp of the casing, and provision is made for drawing in small quantities of water, and the delivery passage may pass around the boss on the sime side as or opposite to the position of the discharge nozzles. The rudders or steering- planes situated at the blade top are actuated by compressed air. The car 2<a> is mounted on the boss of the propeller, Figs. 20 and 21, on a footstep bearing and with three side rollers 11, a packing- ring 13 reducing air leakages. The footstep is hollow for the control rods 14, 15, which act on the valve of the compressed-air steering-gear. Outside rods 16 coact with a cam edge 2<b> when this is lowered by the hand-lever 19. The rods 16 actuate a valve on the gear which produces an inclination of the screw relative to the car for the purpose of getting a propelling as well as a lifting effect. Rings 20, brushes 21, and a switch are used for controlling the ignition current of the engine. For keeping the car fixed, a rudder vane 23 is opened out and closed as desired when the propeller revolves. A second rudder 25 is raised and feathered so as to bring the car automatically head to wind.

Title: An Automatic Means of Securing the Correct Combustion of Coal, Oil, or similar Fuels in a Furnace System.
Inventor: REYNOLDS ALLEYNE
Filed: 1912-06-10
Granted: 1913-09-10
Abstract: 13,566. Reynolds, A. June 10. Combinations of interdependent valves.-To ensure the correct proportions of air and fuel in furnace systems in which producer gas or vaporized liquid fuel is used, special valve apparatus is employed which either controls the relative amount of air supplied to the producer and the furnace respectively or the supply of vapour and air. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement in the former case. Two lift valves 7, 8 control the outlets from the high-pressure air - supply pipe to the producer and furnace respectively. The valves are of the requisite relative diameters and are connected to a spring - loaded lever 30, which is so proportioned that the lifts of the valves are proportional to their diameters, their openings being thus in a constant ratio, while the resistance to the passage of air through them is great compared to that offered to the flow of the air in the furnace or producer. Fig. 3 shows the arrangement when vaporized liquid fuel is used. In this case, the valve 53 controls the outlet from the vaporizer, and the valve 54 controls the supply of air under pressure to the furnace. The valves are connected together and loaded as before. The vaporizer has a heating- surface in excess of the normal requirements, but the valve 53 being loaded to a greater degree than the valve 54, any excess of vapour causes hack pressure, which forces the liquid fuel back from the vaporizer into the supply-tank, thus controlling the rate of vaporization.
