Patent GB-190908933-A (GB)
Title: Pneumatic Dispatch Apparatus.
Inventor: BEMIS THOMAS
IPC: B65G51/26
Filed: 1909-04-15
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 8933. Bemis, T. April 15. Pneumatic dispatch apparatus.-In pneumatic dispatch apparatus, a saving of power is effected by limiting the operation of the pneumatic apparatus in the system to the portion in actual use and to the time when in use. The terminals 10 of a dispatch apparatus, in which suction is created and maintained by means of a suction pump, are closed by valves 14 pivoted to projections 12 of the mouthpieces and provided with counter-weights 16. Attached to the terminal frame 22 is a cylinder 20, in which slides a piston 32 having a rod 31 passing loosely through the bottom 21 of the cylinder, the top of which communicates with a chamber 23 in the frame, which chamber is connected with a further chamber 25 by ports adapted to be closed by a valve 40. The valve is mounted on a stem 41, and its downward movement is limited by a pin 141. The chamber 25 communicates with a chamber 27, in which a constant suction is maintained by connexion with the dispatch system. In a recess in the terminal 10 is pivoted a paddle 50, which normally hangs down into the tube, in which position a projection 53 therefrom raises the end 54 of a lever 55 and so depresses an arm 66 on a stem 166 against a spring and so holds the valve 40 down. When a carrier is to be inserted, the projection 17 of the valve 14 is struck down and the valve opened. Suction is thus set up in the terminal, and the current of air causes the paddle to rise out of the tube into its recess, thereby leaving the valve 40 free. At the same time, the opening of the valve 14 frees the hooked end 33 of the rod 31 from a pin 34 on the valve, which pin, when the valve is closed, holds the rod in the position shown in Fig. 1. The valve 40 being open, the suction above the piston raises it until it closes the valve. The piston then falls, the rate of fall being governed by the screw 124 of the port 123, to allow the carrier sufficient time to reach its destination before a projection 200 on the rod 31 closes the valve 14, whereupon the paddle 50 falls and the valve 40 is opened. The piston then rises to its normal position as shown. Should the operator desire to send a second carrier before the valve 14 closes, the suction may be kept up by depressing the hand-lever 60 pivoted at 61, to which is attached a vertical rod 63 normally held up by a spring 65. The depression of the rod opens the valve 40 by depressing the arm 66, thus causing the falling piston to rise again, close the valve, and fall.
