Granted: 1914-12-17
Abstract: 6056. Tylor & Sons, J., and Appleby, T. H. March 10. Waste - preventing valves. - In a waterwaste preventing tap or valve of the kind provided with main and secondarv valve members such as h, l, the valves are carried on separate spindles 4, q respectively. The secondary valve l is loosely mounted thereon by a spring s, so that, when it is lifted by the handle m against the seat r, the spindle q can continue its upward movement, thereby lifting the main valve h off its seat k. When the handle device is released, the secondary valve is at once opened, a piston x delaying the closing of the main valve and allowing a predetermined quantity of water to pass through for flushing purposes. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the piston is arranged to work in a liquid-tight chamber 5 charged with oil &c., an adjustable by-pass 6 and non-return valve 3 being provided. For use with high-pressure water, the valve may have a tubular extension 9, Fig. 4, with tapered slots 10, and arranged to operate before the main valve h completes the closing action.

Patent GB-191508760-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Methods of Damping the Rolling and Ships or the Angular Motion of any Body by Means of Gyroscopes.
Inventor: HENDERSON JAMES BLACKLOCK
IPC: B63B39/04
Filed: 1915-06-14
Abstract: 8760. Henderson, J. B. June 14. Gyroscopic apparatus.-In the gyroscopic damping of the angular movements of bodies, the velocity of the gyroscopic precession is controlled wholly by means of a single mechanism consisting of a continuously-variable speed gear of the variable-stroke pump type, or of the mechanical type, or of the viscous-fluid resistance type. Fig. 1 shows the mounting of a gyroscope 1 and its hydraulic connexions with the ship, and Fig. 4 shows a controlling-means comprising a variablestroke pump. The gimbal ring 3, carried on trunnions 4 in brackets 5 bolted to the ship's deck, is connected by rods 9 to the pistons of hydraulic cylinders 6, 7 having freely-opening suction valves and delivery valves loaded like safety-valves. The precession of the gyroscope 1 is controlled by means of the hydraulic cylinders 31, 32 of which the pistons are connected as shown to a crank 38 on the trunnion 2 of the gyroscope casing. The hydraulic cylinders 31, 32 are connected to the pump 25, the arbor 29 of which is adjusted to vary the stroke of the pump by its connexion with the piston 41 moved in the cylinder 42 in accordance with the difference of pressures in the cylinders 6, 7 connected to the cylinder 42. The arbor 29 may alternatively be controlled by means of the elastic strain in some part of the gyroscope mechanism or ship's structure. A dash-pot 51 is connected to the piston 41 in such a manner as to resist only the outward movement of the piston. Alternatively, an inertia governor as shown in Fig. 4<c> may be employed. A balanced fly-wheel 50 is connected to a throttle valve 53 connecting pipes 59, 60 connected so as to provide a by-pass between the supply and delivery pipes of the pump 25, Fig. 4. The valve seat consists of a sliding sleeve 56, and the valve 53 has long grooves 58 of such length that one end acts as the throttle when the sleeve 56 is at one end of the cylinder 57, and the other end acts as the throttle when the sleeve is at the other end. The sleeve 56 moves according as the supply transmitted through the pipes 59, 60 modifies the throttling. In another modification, the main hydraulic cylinders supporting the gyroscope ,are used to drive controlling hydraulic cylinders connected to the gyroscope casing, the pipes connecting the main cylinders to the controlling-cylinders being of small bore to give " steady " viscous flow. A variable-speed gear comprising a viscous-fluid brake is illustrated in Fig. 6. The pistons of cylinders 31, 32 connected by large-bore pipes 27, 28 to the main cylinders 7 are coupled by means of a viscousfluid brake 78 to the gyroscope casing. The apparatus may be constructed with two gyroscopes rotating in opposite directions, geared so as to be capable of precession only in opposite directions.

IPC: F23K3/00
Filed: 1915-07-02
Abstract: 9678. Quigley, W. S. Aug. 13, 1914, [Convention date]. Feeding-devices for granular and like matemals.-In apparatus for feeding pulverulent fuel and other material, of the kind in which a current of air picks up and delivers part of the material fed from the source of supply, while the surplus material is returned to the source, the air current is supplied through a hollow screw conveyer which feeds the material from the source of supply, and the surplus material is returned to the source by a screw conveyer arranged concentrically with or below the feed-screw. As shown in Fig. 1, fuel &c. is fed by the screw 3 from a hopper 1 through the central bore 8 of a concentric screw 6. The screws 3, 6 are of opposite pitch, but revolve in the same direction, being driven by inter-connected gear-wheels 21, 15. Air blast passes through the bore 5 of the screw 3 and delivers part of the fuel &c. through the discharge pipe 14, the surplus being returned to the hopper by the screw 6. The spokes 16 of the gear-wheel are rhomboidal in section and inclined to the same pitch as the screw 6. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the fuel &c. is fed from the hopper by the hollow screw 33 through the conduit 42, and part is delivered by the blast passing through the screw to the discharge conduit 44. The surplus fuel &c. enters the chamber 40 and is returned to the hopper by the screw 36.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Controlling Change Speed Gears, especially Applicable for Automobiles.
Inventor: GNUDI ALFONSO
IPC: F16H63/30
Filed: 1915-10-12
Abstract: 14,403. Gnudi, A. Oct. 12. Controlling variable-speed gearing.-In variablespeed gearing for motor-vehicles &c., the forked levers which move the gear-wheels are operated by compressed air, and are controlled singly by keys or pressure knobs mounted on the steering-handle. The forked levers 48, Fig. 4, slide in a groove on a block 52, which contains a compressed-air chamber 53, Fig. 5, communicating with a cylinder containing a piston 55, which is connected to and operates a controlling-bar 69 sliding in a groove below the levers 48. Mounted on the steering-handle 14, Fig. 2, are five pivoted keys, corresponding to four speeds and a reverse, each key being connected by a flexible wire 23 to a rod 30, Fig. 6, normally pressed down by a spring 77. A pump, operated by the motor, and fitted with a loaded escape valve to give a constant pressure, supplies compressed air to the chamber 53, Fig. 5. The air passes through an opening 63 controlled by a valve 60 and presses back the piston 55 against a spring 58, causing the bar 69 to move to the left. If one of the keys is pressed down and then released, the bar 69 first moves to the right, disengaging any gear that may be in mesh, by means of a projection 79, and then returns to its former position, carrying with it the lever 48 corresponding to the key that has been depressed, by means of a spriog-pressed pin 71 in the lever engaging a hole 70 in the bar. The pin 71 is normally held up by a wedge 74, the bevelled stem 74<1> of which is engaged by an inclined-edged plate 75 on the rod 30, and is released when the rod 30 is raised by depressing the key. When the gear is subsequently disengaged by one of the projections 79, the inclined surfaces 74<1>, 75 come into contact, forcing in the wedge 74 and withdrawing the pin 71 from the hole 70. The lower end of the rod 30 is inclined at 76 and operates a spring-pressed bar 80 formed with a rack 85 for operating the valve 60. When a key is depressed, the valve 60 is turned so as to close the passage 63 and to exhaust the cylinder through a passage 64. The piston then moves to the right, and again moves to the left when the key is released, effecting corresponding motions of the controlling-bar 69. The return movements of the bar 80 and valve 60 are effected by a spring. To hold all the gears out of mesh, the first key 16, Fig. 2, is depressed and retained under a hooked catch 89. The action of the device is regulated by movable stops 83, 83', Fig. 10, on the bar 80, which can effect a throttling of the passages in the valve 60. To guard against wrong movements, a movable slide may be arranged on the gear-box to prevent movement of the rods 30 until the clutch 45, which gives the fourth speed, is disengaged. Springs 90, Fig. 4, with rounded ends 91 hold the forks in their normal positions.
