Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Despatch Tube Apparatus
Inventor: PIKE OTTO SAMUEL
Filed: 1901-09-24
Granted: 1901-12-07
Abstract: 19,047. Pike, O. S. Sept. 24. Pneumatic despatch apparatus.-Fig. 1 shows the terminal of the main a, b, the branch to the atmosphere, or atmosphere and return valve, being supposed to the right. When the carrier from the right arrives between the tubes d, g, which lead from the main to a small cylinder i, the air compressed between the carrier and the closed outlet valve c operates the differential piston f, so that a piston valve k moved by it admits air under pressure from a pipe m to a second cylinder, the piston of which in like manner operates the piston valve of a main cylinder. The consequent movement of the main piston and connecting-rod 2 to the left turns the outlet valve c into the open position, and the carrier passes out, but, before it has left the terminal, the air pressure behind it pushes apart a pair of flaps 9, 10 in a fan-shaped side chamber 13, which, acting through levers 11, 12, restore the first piston valve to its initial position. This action results in the re-closure of the main valve c. The differential structure of the piston ensures its remaining closed till the carrier is between the tubes leading to the cylinder.
