Title: Improvements in Valves for Intermittently Discharging the Contents of Measuring Tanks used in the Treatment of Sewage and for other purposes.
Inventor: LEIGH ARTHUR GRAHAM
Filed: 1905-12-08
Granted: 1906-03-01
Abstract: 25,548. Leigh, A. G. Dec. 8. Hinged valves; self-closing valves. -Relates to hinged valves for intermittently discharging the contents of measuring-tanks for sewage &c., but also of general application. The wall a, Fig. 1, of the tank forms a seating for the valve b, horizontally pivoted at c, the pivot being approximately level with the bottom d of the tank. The lower part of the valve is made heavy so as to make the closing automatic. When the liquid in the tank reaches such a level that the pressure on the upper part of the valve more than counterbalances the forces tending to close it, the valve turns into the unshaded position and the tank discharges its contents. The flange e prevents discharge when the valve is partly opened, and also assists in keeping the valve in the open position during discharge. A similar flange may be fitted to the opposite side of the lower part of the valve. In a modification, the upper part of the valve forms a recess or pocket projecting externally from the wall a of the tank. The top may be covered by a plate provided with a small drainage outlet. In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the pocket f is not entirely open to the tank and extends right down to the bottom of the valve. The liquid enters the pocket by the inlet i, and runs away by the outlet h when the valve turns over. The method of loading the lower part of the valve plate may be varied in any suitable manner, such as by the means shown in Fig. 2 of Specification No. 8041, A.D. 1905. The flange e, Fig. 1, may also be applied to the modified forms.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Electric Order or Signalling Apparatus.
Filed: 1906-10-17
Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 22,946. Mechan & Sons, Smith, G. S., and Anning, A. L. Oct. 17. Order apparatus.-The transmitters of step-bystep order telegraphs are provided with a rack or toothed wheel and pawl mechanism to prevent the reverse movement of the handle until the previous movement indicating a change of order has been completed. Each step of the transmitter completes one or other of two circuits according to the direction of motion, energizing a detentremoving electro-magnet, and one of two pawloperating magnets which move a toothed wheel on the spindle of the receiver pointer. Fig. 1 shows a transmitter of the hand-lever type, to the handle D of which is fitted a pawl E controlled by a spring F which tends to keep it in the vertical position. Movement of the handle D causes the pawl E to drag over teeth A on a segment B, thus locking it against return until an open space C, corresponding to a new order is reached, when the pawl returns to its normal position. Fig. 3 shows the application to a transmitter in which each step corrosponds to a complete revolution of a crank-handle on a shaft D. If the handle is partly rotated, it cannot be returned unless that revolution is first completed. A cam L, Figs. 1 and 4, in connexion with the handle operates a tappet K, which completes an electric circuit between one of two pairs of springs, as shown. Suitable steadying and stop mechanism for the second type of transmitter is described. The receiver, Fig. 8, comprises two driving - electromagnets R, the armatures P of which carry pawls N which co-act with a wheel M on the spindle of the receiver pointer, and also an electro-magnet V which removes a detent fork T when the circuit through either magnet R is completed. Stops S limit the movement of the pawls N, which enter between the teeth sufficiently far to prevent over-running of the wheel,
