Patent GB-189722602-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Corliss and similar Valves.
Inventor: MACBETH NORMAN
Filed: 1897-10-02
Granted: 1898-08-13
Abstract: 22,602. Macbeth, N., and Wood, H. Oct. 2. Valve gear.-Relates to the closure of Corliss and other valves actuated by trip or releasing gear, and consists of means whereby the spring may be subjected to a greater amount of compression, when required to close the valve at the early points of cut-off, than when it is required to close at the later points of cut-off. The closing-spring, instead of having a stationary abutment, is made to abut against a free mass. Owing to the inertia of the mass, the reaction of the spring is greater during the early portion of the movement than during the later. Fig. 1 shows in side elevation, partly in section, the application of the invention to Corliss valves. The valves A are operated by detent gear from the reciprocating bar a and are closed by springs n. These abut against the masses or weights j. An air-cushioning cylinder and piston may be provided within the weights j to prevent them from descending too suddenly.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Manufacturing Acetylene Gas
Inventor: SMYTH JAMES FIELDING
Filed: 1900-09-15
Granted: 1901-08-10
Abstract: 16,409. Smyth, J. F. Sept. 15. Acetylene.-A tank A, charged with water which is maintained at a definite level by an automatic floating valve a, is fitted with a cover B from which depend a generating-chamber C and two chambers E and F. The carbide h older D, which is fitted with a tightly-fitting cover, is removed for re-charging by first lowering it out of the chamber C by rotating a pulley s. Uver tnis pulley passes a counterweighte t cord t attached to a socket o which runs on a rod p and carries the holder D upon an arm n. The rod and its connections are then turned partly round by a lever q, and finally the pulley s is rotated so as to raise the holder through an opening in the cover B. In a modification, the chamber C is fixed to the cover of a hole in the cover B, and is raised out of the tank for re-charging the holder D contained within it. The bottom of the holder is provided with a series of holes, one or more of which may be closed by an adjustable cap. Water enters by these holes when the air escape valve V is opened by coming up into contact with the top of the chamber C. The gas passes from the chamber C by the pipes d and e to the chamber E, and thence by the pipe h and valve H to a gas holder. When the gas holder has been raised to a certain height, the valve H is closed in consequence of the lever of the valve being connected by a chain with the holder. The gas then drives the water out of the chamber D, and any after-production passes by the pipe f, which is longer than the pipe e, into a chamber F, and thence to the holder by a pipe i, which is connected with the pipe h beyond the valve H. The pipe h is formed into a condensing-coil G, and it leads into a purifier before entering the holder. This purifier is packed with a hair scrubber to break up corpuscles in the gas, and with turf mould and chloride of lime for absorbing chemical impurities. The chambers E and F are fitted with screw plugs in order that they may be charged with sand or other filtering-material. The gasholder supply pipe is also fitted with a chamber charged with sand to prevent back-firing.
