Title: Improvements relating to Pressure Gauges
Inventor: LUCAS HARRY
Filed: 1906-12-06
Granted: 1907-09-12
Abstract: 27,815. Lucas, H., and Jenkins, F. Dec. 6. Pressure gauges. -Impulsive movements of the index of a pressure gauge, applied more particularly for gauging the pressure in a pneumatic tyre, either by connexion to the tyre or to the inflator, are prevented by interposing a valve between the source of pressure and the gauge, which is closed by impulsive rises in the pressure but opens to a steady pressure. The tubular stem piece a carries within the nipple for making the connexion a ball valve b controlled in movement by a thin disk of wiregauze, whereby a sudden fall of pressure is prevented ; the ball valve fits loosely in order that a slight leak may gradually discharge the gauge when the tyre is deflated. Around the tubular extension e' of a socket-piece is a loosely-fitting sleeve h, the lower end of which, when driven up by sudden pressure, is adapted to close the passage to the gauge g, either by means of or without a ball i.

Title: New or Improved Apparatus for Automatically Imparting a Pulsatory Motion to Fluid.
Filed: 1907-04-08
Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 8181. Aktiebolaget Ymer. April 9, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Working valves.-A pulsatory motion, alternately in opposite directions, is automatically imparted to fluid in a conduit c, which is fed from the conduit a in which the direction of flow is constant. A block or valve i, normally held down by a spring m, allows free communication between the conduits until the pressure on the underside of a piston f, due to its connexion with the conduit c by a passage d, is sufficient to raise the valve against the seat b and close such communication. The conduit c is then in communication with an outlet conduit k, and the direction of motion of the fluid in it is accordingly reversed. A reduction of pressure in the conduit c, and consequently in the chamber e, results from the reversal, whereupon the valve i returns to its first position, shutting off communication between the conduits c, k and opening it between a, c. Suitable springs m, h, of which m is the stronger, are used in order to regulate the reversals of the valve i. In order to prevent the valve from remaining in any intermediate position, it is kept in its end positions by making it magnetic and the bosses b, j of iron, or vice versa. The valve will not move therefore until the forces tending to move it are sufficient to overcome the magnetic attraction. In another method, springs q are inserted in the wall of the apparatus at each of the end positions of the valve. The pressure beneath the piston f may be regulated by a screw valve n in the conduit d.

Abstract: 13,596. Jahr, G. June 12. Telegraphs.-In an electrostatic detector for use in wireless telegraphy, the capacity of the parts to be charged by static electricity is made small for the purpose of increasing the sensitiveness of the apparatus. The detector comprises a lever h pivoted on a post g, one arm h<1> of which normally rests on a contact i. The contacts k, m are arranged upon a plate q, which is pivoted at n and can be adjusted by means of a screw p. The lever h' normally closes the local circuit i, h<1>, g, which includes a current indicator r for showing that the apparatus is in working order. When the antenna a is excited by electro-magnetic waves, the lever h oscillates, completing the circuit of the recording apparatus s at contact m. The capacity of the contact k is made very small to render the apparatus sensitive, and the receiving- device may be employed in cable telegraphy. According to the Provisional Specification, the antenna is led through a coil of wire and is connected to one electrode of the detector. One end of the coil is connected to the other electrode of the detector, the other end being connected to earth. To increase the sensitiveness, that part of the antenna within the coil may be a coil of very fine wire ; or the coil through which the antenna passes may be replaced by a hollow metal cylinder.
